1958 Grundig Zauberspiegel 739 Television Overview
Переглядів 1 тис.5 місяців тому
I picked up a set I restored a few years ago from the person I sold it to. I'm glad to have it back in my collection and look forward to restoring it to 100% in a later video. It operates on 220v which isn't a problem, but the sound I can't get to sync up with the audio. I'm thinking of bypassing the tuner completely and adding AV inputs for the video and audio. Stay tuned!

I repaired this set for someone who just wanted to use it at parties to play old movies on it. He knows the set may need word in the future since he knows I didn't replace all I could have. It still required a good amount of work to work consistently without any other major problems coming up in the near future. I wish I could have kept it for myself!

    • @televisionforever
      @televisionforever День тому

      I was on a bit of a deadline getting this television back, but also, the tuner is a highly sensitive piece of a equipment that I don't have enough knowledge on yet to tinker with. Everything in there is very precise and tuned exactly. Any accidental mess-up with coils, resistors, or variable capacitors can really mess up any signal coming into it. I'm sure whatever problem was in there, is an easy fix, but I wanted to give this customer a known good tuner, and worry about the problem tuner later in a future project. I'm trying to clean up and downsize my workspace at the moment.

    @TheRealMrBeercan 2 дні тому

    I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU! How is it that all your old TVs have good picture tubes? When I was a kid in the 1960s, I remember that TVs would park the beam right in the center of the screen when you turned them off. As a result, old TVs would get a dark spot right in the middle after years of use. Most old TVs of the 40s, 50s and 60s were thrown away because there was a big dark area right in the middle of the screen. It cost as much as a new TV just to replace the picture tube. So, people scrapped their old TVs for a new one. My grandma had an old early 1950s Stromberg-Carlson that got so dark in the center of the screen she replaced it with a new TV in 1971. By the way that 1971 color console TV is still in use. Sometime in the late-1960s they developed a technique so the beam would not park in the center of the screen when you turned the set off.

    • @televisionforever
      @televisionforever 2 дні тому

      I think you sort of answered your own question in a way. Lower cost televisions were tossed when the picture tube was low in emission or dead. I'm sure owners threw away sets when the picture tube was dead instead of replacing the picture tube. I've seen a lot more replacement picture tubes in big consoles like the RCA CTC series since they were very expensive and customers weren't just going to just toss them. I have been very lucky with good testing picture tubes in "portable" models though I have a theory that a lot of these tabletop models were used less than a floor model you would see in a living room. Possibly a bedroom or kitchen set that had less hours on it.

    Bonjour c'est incroyable l'évolution un peu de temps malgré tout des téléviseur on est plus surpris d'avoir des écrans de 1m30 voir plus grand alors qu à l'époque ils étaient tous agglutinés devant une petite image en noir et blanc de quelques centimètres de diagonale et c'était déjà magique c'est génial ce que vous faites je sauvegarder de restaurer le passé au niveau des appareils téléviseur et autre je découvre une voiture à chaîne et je crois que je vais regarder un peu tout ce que vous avez fait bravo bravo continuez !!! Hello, it's incredible the evolution of televisions in a little time despite everything, we are more surprised to have screens of 1m30 or even larger whereas at the time they were all clustered together in front of a small black and white image of a few centimeters diagonal and it was already magical it's great what you are doing I save to restore the past in terms of television devices and other I discovered a chain car and I think I'm going to look a little at everything you have well done, well done, keep going !!!

    It is so relaxing and cathartic to just sit back and watch such a beautiful old thing like this being restored to its former glory... I think it is important to maintain not only the tech, but the knowledge of how it works as such knowledge is the very foundation of our technical world today. The old analogue technology was so ingenious, and the genius required to have overcome those challenges was a different kind of intelligence than that used to manage today's digital development. I do wonder though if the vacuum-tubes/valves at work in this kind of ancient device are still available or being made somewhere? I also wonder if it is possible, were it necessary to do so, could you replace one of those old vacuum-tubes with a transistor or something which could replicate its function?

    • @televisionforever
      @televisionforever 4 дні тому

      Vacuum tubes are very reliable in the long run. There are still plenty of NOS tubes out there waiting to be found, also a lot on eBay. They are still usually fine, they don't go down in quality over time unless they're being used. There are two factories in the world still making vacuum tubes specifically for tube amplifiers. I've heard though Western Electric in TN is making tubes at pretty high prices for tube amplifiers as well. Some others restoring sets, I've seen at least in the troubleshooting process, use diodes for tubes like the damper or rectifier in the power supply, but it does increase the B+ as well. So one wouldn't easily be able to convert a tube set to all transistors.
