BRILLIANT As a Tv Engineer in the UK in the early 70s I used to love to renovate and repair TVs I got some sort of buzz diagnosing faults and putting them right It is fascinating to watch these videos brings back great memories keep up the good work
Shango resurrecting things: "Nothing but the best about this set. Nothing but the utmost in professionalism and safety!" and than hooks the 15-21kV through a 60V-rated alligator clip cable. "Maybe I need to read the manual!" "Look at how accurate that window circle is..." "Look at how that snow is working so good!" Very nice set! Looks simple, surprising horizontal resolution and really nice picture.
What an enjoyable journey this was... from a de-tubed, abandoned chassis to a crisp image. Lovely! Can't even imagine how much time this resurrection must have taken you. Thanks, it was one hour and 35 minutes of knowledge and fun.
Some might center their tweurkqthinkqlonger speed control to enjoy a 3 hour dramatic declamatory presentation. The alien de.clam.mae heiroglyph intercept was quite interesting. They may promote it as a digestive media &/or toast spread.
I enjoy your videos. Growing up in the 1950s - 1960s, I never noticed the scan lines while watching television. I joined the Navy in 1969 with plans to open a repair shop when I got out. To that end, I took a electronics engineering course from CREI and a course in television repair from NTS. By the time I retired from the Navy in 1991, the neighborhood radio and television repair man was pretty much a thing of the past. I did continue working in electronics. But vacuum tube radio and test equipment restoration is more of a hobby than anything else.
I still see one or two TV repair shops in most major cities. Always an old plastic sign. And predictably a Predicta in the front window. They do mostly one thing: replace power supplies in flat screens.
The traced schematic is a treasure- more like an illuminated medieval manuscript than anything to do with 20th century electronics. Also appreciated the Dead Kennedys reference!
I remember as a child at School in the 60's we were often giving tasks to trace things out of books, funny how I never noticed it has become a lost art, it just never occurred to me until seeing Shango talk about it here just amazing how times have changed.
I used onion skin paper sometimes in the 70s and 80s for art and engineering purposes (like for some aspects of hand designing of printed circuit boards). In the 80s we also sometimes used frosted Mylar (matte finish plastic film) for the same purpose. You cold draw on it with pencil or pen, and it was about as translucent as onion skin paper.
Indeed, when you bought this telly you owned it and the manufacturer gave you all the help you needed to keep it in good condition they prided themselves on this it was part of the sale, I know that Mr Rossmann is very active in this area and I wish all the best and to people like you Mr Shango who keep these skills alive...cheers.
Great great video thank you that picture is impressive you can actually read a lot of the fine print and it's a lot of fun watching in living black and white I love seeing some of these older sets from the 40s through the mid 60s resurrected thanks again👍🏻 and make fire and smoke was fun too
When I was a kid, we had the TV repair man come round to fix the Hybrid colour set that we had. He told me that Vol-tar-gee lived in side the TV and if you weren't careful he'd get you. Later on in my life (being the TV repair man.) I used to say "let's apply Vol-tar-gee".
I can't get over the amazing condition of the schematics and manuals you have. I can remember working with service manuals and schematics barely holding together and they were much newer than yours. These videos are of great historic significance as they are theoretical and practical examples of fault finding technology that is long gone for most people. Brilliant stuff and well done. Not easy talking to yourself for hours.
6:22 I occasionally used that stuff in the late 80s/early 90s. Some people would call it onion skin. Architects used to love it, they could lay it over a blueprint and sketch out ideas without marking up the blueprint. You could also make a blueprint from it if you needed to. I have a roll of that in my closet. In your case it was probably what they had do because photocopiers weren’t available to everyone, if they were even invented yet.
Thank you for teaching me how to substitute the parts in the high voltage with a modern tripler. That is much safer than that old flamable flyback. I repaired an old 1956 Silvertone black and white for a friend and six months later the flyback smoked and its a good thing the fuse resistor opened. I need to try the tripler idea on it👍. I told my friend to keep a fire extinguisher handy when he watches it and a remote on off power switch.Why did I have a feeling that would happen 😁
The traced out schematic is absolutely fantastic! I’m sure some eager young electronics enthusiast of old may have enjoyed the task of copying that Hoffman schematic. There’s certainly been times that I had to do the same, but as tedious as it would get, I still enjoyed it. Thanks for the great videos, always looking forward to seeing them
Ah, Tracing paper, brings back memories as a child using this paper to copy stuff, a trick was to trace the diagram, then use carbon paper to transfer to another sheet of paper by going over the tracing again, yep, copiers and phones have made live so much easier! Usual fun video, Thanks.
Omg, I just had the laugh of my life when Shango commented on a beauty product saying: "Argon oil? Isn't that something they use on a torch or something?" Either way, this is one beautiful vintage TV chassis I hope will NOT end up on a trash pile. Very interesting as well to see the experiment with the voltage tripler... Something I had thought of many times trying out myself, just in case I'd have to replace an unobtainable HV coil. Thanks for sharing this :) And by the way, thanks for the comic relief, boy did that give me a great evening too :P P.S. As a kid I would have to copy a lot of schematics by hand, 'cause I just couldn't afford (large) photocopies back then. Kinda makes you respect a lot more the time engineers back then put into drawing those beautiful blue-print schematics
In 1973 I left the US Army after serving my 3 year term, as part of my time in the service, I was offered and accepted a 8 week training called project trensision, during that time, I worked OJT for the switching central office at William Beaumont Army Medical Center, as a maintance man for the electrical engineer who ran the switching central. The hospital was brand new, having just opened six months prior. Part of my training involved tracing out schematics to learn how the system operated. It was great fun, best part of my whole time in the US Army Wish I had used that, but I was offered a job on the PD before I got home and took that instead.
Super educational video as always infused with comedy -- very enjoyable to watch. Look forward to your videos every week. Your patience with these repairs is unparalleled.
I think the TraVler ressurection is still one of your most impressive I've seen, Always enjoy watching the crazy adapters and solutions to these problems though I wish TVs like this were more common out here in the southeast WOW! That horizontal failure is cool
Very interesting!! I enjoy these old electronics restorations and resurrections! That takes some serious patience to trace a schematic diagram that complex.
That^^ video was totally epic, without a friggin' doubt. Thanks for making and sharing it. The tip about the HV tripler is definitely a gem of a tip. The cat is looking great... tell him 'Roger that and QSL on the Right To Repair!' : - ). ...and yup... that chassis design is definitely a beautiful work of engineering art. The Bose infomercial was niiiice. The Bose sets in general are no doubt one of Humankind's best inventions.
You could make a replacement solid state device with a little lightbulb as load to simulate a filament. Then it is less efficient but it will also simulate a glow.
Wow, seeing the traced schematics takes me back to being in primary school in the 80’s, using tracing paper to trace letters & numbers etc. 😂👌🏻 Good old tracing paper is up there with the old spirit stencils that stunk of methylated spirits. 😂
@@MsCori76 Glad to see you're recovering now. Old blueprint machines were also hard on the nose. They used concentrated ammonia solution (stronger than household ammonia) as the developer. If you opened the small cap on the bottle for just five seconds, the room was overcome with ammonia fumes for a good ten minutes.
An amazing picture for such an old set. That's how I remember watching buzz Aldrin stepping on to the moon, we watched 405 lines only one channel here in Scotland all those years ago. Love your sense of humour , much the same here
Shango:“Side effects! Side effects!” Tv annoucncer “may cause lack of breathing,blindness,and impaired cognitive abilities,discontinue use if death occurs”
@auchterawer, What gets me is that the “problem” they are claiming to treat isn’t anywhere near as serious as the side effects they warn you their drug may cause,yet people will still “ask their doctor for it by name”. Do you perspire and feel fatigued while mowing your lawn on hot summer days? That can be the sign of a serious physiological condition called “over exertion.” ask your doctor about new prescription persparex. persparex works by overriding your bodies natural biological responses,blocking undesirable impulses from your central nervous system and chemically altering your brain inducing a feeling of invincibility and abundant energy during even the most strenuous physical tasks,allowing you to stay dry and cool wether mowing your lawn,or delivering false testimony on the witness stand. Side effects may include,overwhelming violent sociopathic compulsions,feelings of complete alienation from the human race,acute psychotic delusions of mental and physical supremacy,discontinue use if sudden political ambitions develop
What a cool junker set. I hope it gets adopted by a loving family in a good area where the schools are nice. Maybe it can go to college and get a good job with good pay so as it could afford a good alignment every few years along with fresh tubes. Maybe the nice new adopting family will dust it’s cabinet with lemon pledge for that nice healthy shine! Ahhh, nothing like that nice loving suburban family:)
Replacing secondary, high voltage coil with tripler was common in soviet tube B/W TVs still maked in 80s. You can get right voltage without using HV winding, just from H-out tube anode. When you remove/disconnect HV coil, you remove inductance from circuit. With tripler you add higher capacity. So the high voltage pulse on anode gets lower but wide. You have to tweek (lower) the capacity parallel to primary winding, if its possible. In many sets there is a capacitor in parallel to primary winding you can play with.
When I was in elementary school back in the late 60s the teachers called tracing paper onion paper. I had one teacher who taught it as a skill that you should have to know. That weird pattern on the pic tube reminded me of something I saw on a trip during the acid wars of the 70s. Pretty freaking cool! Great video! I wish I was closer I'd like to adopt it. Thanks!
Back in the day we only had Mimeograph. I was expert in HS at Duplicating on a little A.B. Dick machine in my chosen Trade, Graphic Communications that launched me into the worls of Kinkos Copy Center Desktop Publishing. Until then, all we had was tracing paper. I used it quite often. Now it's a relic and a great find at that!
5:51 No!! I can't imagine the desperation, but I remember it. My father used to trace a crossword puzzle in the early 1970s by a local Seattle paper, the Post Intelligencer, that had what they called a jackpot puzzle. The prizes were up to about $500. He hand traced those puzzles because you had to either have an original or a hand traced copy. They did not allow photocopies. Multiple copies gave you a greater chance of winning the puzzle and the prize. The paper was only 10 cents, but you couldn't get enough copies to make it worth your while.
worth it to have one of these just to watch Young Frankenstein, Dr. Strangelove and then Clerks for a triple feature, then maybe cap it all off with The Wizard of Oz just to spite the lovely yellow brick road into a light grey.
Fantastic, I love your videos mate. Couple of surprising things, I was surprised that microwave oven diodes switch fast enough to rectify flyback frequency also I'm pretty impressed that you can remove 2/3 of the secondary and run a tripler as this obviously means that the secondary current is now 3 X the original, they definitely over built stuff 💪 back in those days.. best regards from across the pond Steve
I used tracing paper to copy a tv schematic and a tuner schematic and a multiplex converter schematic from sams photofacts in the Carnegie library of Pittsburgh. I may have been around 10 years old then.
We seem to be throwing away good serviceable things and replacing them with unserviceable garbage. I will not replace something simply because it is not in style anymore.
Al’s tube stash came in handy! Hopefully someone will adopt the set,restore it completely and will enjoy watching old television shows on it again. With the CRT being new it should produce a great picture when everything’s been dialed in. Incidentally,The arcing and zapping reminded me of Shangos bug zapper cutaways. He should do a video on making a 20,000 volt bug zapper from old television parts.
That Narjclay Bromulex was ready for the blambulance until you crinko-twinkulated it and erased it's crepe, nicely done. Man I've been here a long time..
Hey Shango066, that restore worked out nicely. That set is really in nice condition and I really loved the circuit layout. The resulting picture looked really good after substituting out the bad caps in the vertical, especially since the rest of the TV still had the old paper caps. Please note that you can't place 2 caps in series to double the voltage rating unless you also have a parallel voltage divider to get the voltage to equally share between the caps. Doing so without the voltage divider works for a day or two, then one of the caps eventually shorts out from over voltage. I have seen that funky horizontal sweep more than once in the past (at 38:25 in the video), it's caused by a low frequency oscillation in the horizontal circuit.
When I was in high school we had a tracking table in the graphics room. It was a drafting table with a large square hole cut in it. A pane of glass was inlaid in the hole . Under the glass was a 60 watt incandescent bulb. You would put the drawing to be traced on top of the glass, lay a piece of paper, either a3 or a4 on to the drawing, turn on the lamp and trace away.
I'm off to juy a Bose so I never have to blow out my own candles. I was looking at the speakers of the Bose, there had to be a hole in them somewhere, abacab. Great workaround for the coil with the tripler. I learneded something.
Ah! olá shango boa noite velho amigo,, ah! shango gostei a televisão ficou jóia!! é meu amigo, eu adoro os seus vídeos, e você é um ótimo técnico parabéns shango, assisto muito os seus vídeos quando tenho tempo, más gosto de ver você arrumando os eletrônicos k? abraços velho amigo Oh! hello shango good night old friend,, ah! shango I liked the television it was a gem!! you are my friend, i love your videos, and you are a great technician congratulations shango, i watch your videos a lot when i have time, i like to see you tidying your electronics k? hugs old friend
I have learned a few things since the very first video I watched of yours .I caught myself thinking why doesn't he us a microwave diode and then you pulled out two lol. I was just thinking one thow. So much more to learn.
I knew someone who had a collection of devices with really strange failures that he just left that way, though he could have fixed them (or put it in the trash) No TV like that! I saved the nixie display with failing tubes and a blown driver IC when he got tired of it. Pretty colors.
I remember tracing out relevant sections of circuit diagrams from borrowed circuit diagrams on tracing paper in the late eighties, until I got access to a xerox.
Totally awesome. Like people who can ski down Mount Everest... you amaze me. I grew up in the late fifties and sixties where we had a Magnavox set in a mahogany cabinet and it was really beautiful. It seemed like every few months something would go wrong and someone would come over with some tubes etc.. Typically... after turning on the set the picture would start getting smaller and smaller till it would disappear altogether. Ironically... I have a macbook pro from 2013 that now opens up with a terrible image but gets better after time to normal looking after about 30 minutes. I wonder if a part from an old microwave might fix it?! I love your channel!
5:30 - This brings back another repressed memory...yes I can imagine the desperation.... As someone else here mentioned, a child (or an adult for that matter) of the 60's had no copy machines or digital cameras/phones to make a copy of anything, so tracing was the only option. I remember having a whole pad of tracing paper as a kid, but I don't remember what I had traced. Today I still feel the frustration of the hard work of tracing, but also the disappointment in the relatively poor-looking copy due to the translucency of the paper. Therefore I probably appreciate the miracle of digital imaging and laser printing more than the "average bear" (Yogi the Bear) reference) of today.
The first generation of the Heathkit capacitor tester has a much more sensitive neon light blink circuit for indicating current through the capacitor. The Eye tube capacitor testers have a 470 K resistor on the grid of the eye tube, which limits their sensitivity. The eye testers will not reveal leaks above that resistance.
For a guy who's been on YT for over 14 years?, you have remarkably few subs - but that's because too many people are oversensitive...I love your commentary and it's good ASMR late at night or listening while working on my own stuff. Plus you love cats, so you can't be all that bad, eh? 😺🐈🔊
38:40 What a display. It's awesome. I wonder what's causing that ??? (and can it be sustained just as a display piece?) Great resurection. I'm realy surprised at the trippler giving such a good image.
It looked like a damped oscillation in the horizontal circuit, and appeared to be in sync with the vertical blanking. It kind of looked to me like a combination of a bad B+ bypass cap at the horizontal oscillator (letting noise on the B+ line, probably from the vertical circuit, ping the oscillator) and definitely a cap somewhere with very high ESR or high DC leakage. I've never seen a pattern like that either. Looked like a very sick cousin of a Lissajous curve on an oscilloscope.
Regarding the tracing paper being the last desperate act of a technician, not necessarily. It might of been a TV that was being worked on at a trade school and the only copy of the schematic they could get was in a public library copy of Sams. In those days, photocopiers were few and far between.

Multiple copies gave you a greater chance of winning the puzzle and the prize. The paper was only 10 cents, but you couldn't get enough copies to make it worth your while.
1h20 in and I was expecting your toddler mascot peeking around the crt. Neat resurrection.
worth it to have one of these just to watch Young Frankenstein, Dr. Strangelove and then Clerks for a triple feature, then maybe cap it all off with The Wizard of Oz just to spite the lovely yellow brick road into a light grey.
Also worth it to watch Victory At Sea, Airpower or classic sports videos (wonder if a film of the complete 1958 NFL championship game is available).
@@billdang3953 Worth it to uncolorize Ted Turner himself, into a charcoal tone.
Fantastic, I love your videos mate. Couple of surprising things, I was surprised that microwave oven diodes switch fast enough to rectify flyback frequency also I'm pretty impressed that you can remove 2/3 of the secondary and run a tripler as this obviously means that the secondary current is now 3 X the original, they definitely over built stuff 💪 back in those days.. best regards from across the pond

I used tracing paper to copy a tv schematic and a tuner schematic and a multiplex converter schematic from sams photofacts in the Carnegie library of Pittsburgh. I may have been around 10 years old then.
Shango: "I need to be extinguished"
TV chassis starts sparking.
We seem to be throwing away good serviceable things and replacing them with unserviceable garbage. I will not replace something simply because it is not in style anymore.
Al’s tube stash came in handy! Hopefully someone will adopt the set,restore it completely and will enjoy watching old television shows on it again.
With the CRT being new it should produce a great picture when everything’s been dialed in.
Incidentally,The arcing and zapping reminded me of Shangos bug zapper cutaways. He should do a video on making a 20,000 volt bug zapper from old television parts.
Didn't know they made Greenies for cats. My dog loves those. Love your kitties - I foster 2 cats.
Nice repair! Hope someone takes it and restores it completely. A good healthy tube, fix up the cabinet, it'll be a good set to show off occasionally.
That Narjclay Bromulex was ready for the blambulance until you crinko-twinkulated it and erased it's crepe, nicely done.
Man I've been here a long time..
As usual, awesome video Shango066! Really enjoyed this one.👍
Great work as always!! Love watching these videos--
Another great video cool old set hope someone adopts it thanks for the great videos you post shango
Hey Shango066, that restore worked out nicely. That set is really in nice condition and I really loved the circuit layout. The resulting picture looked really good after substituting out the bad caps in the vertical, especially since the rest of the TV still had the old paper caps.
Please note that you can't place 2 caps in series to double the voltage rating unless you also have a parallel voltage divider to get the voltage to equally share between the caps. Doing so without the voltage divider works for a day or two, then one of the caps eventually shorts out from over voltage.
I have seen that funky horizontal sweep more than once in the past (at 38:25 in the video), it's caused by a low frequency oscillation in the horizontal circuit.
The Tweak-O-Spromulate process gets things going! ⚡️💡

When I was in high school we had a tracking table in the graphics room. It was a drafting table with a large square hole cut in it. A pane of glass was inlaid in the hole . Under the glass was a 60 watt incandescent bulb. You would put the drawing to be traced on top of the glass, lay a piece of paper, either a3 or a4 on to the drawing, turn on the lamp and trace away.
We have sizzle, we have ignition.
Horizontal sweep crash: “medical snake” or “don’t tread on me”.
Window “Squirkle” / vertical sink.
That image at 38:32 is a work of art. It needs printing and selling, it’s precious.
throw that HDTV flat screen out and get nice 23 inch black and white TV way better ! Love those old TVs so hard find these days .
Where do you get the schematics? I've been looking for some for a tv I'm working on but I can't find it or they're charging like $20 for it.
I'm off to juy a Bose so I never have to blow out my own candles. I was looking at the speakers of the Bose, there had to be a hole in them somewhere, abacab. Great workaround for the coil with the tripler. I learneded something.
Ah! olá shango boa noite velho amigo,, ah! shango gostei a televisão ficou jóia!! é meu amigo, eu adoro os seus vídeos, e você é um ótimo técnico
parabéns shango, assisto muito os seus vídeos quando tenho tempo, más gosto de ver você arrumando os eletrônicos k?
abraços velho amigo
Oh! hello shango good night old friend,, ah! shango I liked the television it was a gem!! you are my friend, i love your videos, and you are a great technician congratulations shango, i watch your videos a lot when i have time, i like to see you tidying your electronics k? hugs old friend
Any plan to try an experiment and replace every tube in a set with a solid state homemade equivalent? Just for fun…
nice television flyback failure ASMR
Watching these videos makes happy working feelings inside my Twinkie Dinkler. 👍
I have learned a few things since the very first video I watched of yours .I caught myself thinking why doesn't he us a microwave diode and then you pulled out two lol. I was just thinking one thow. So much more to learn.
Is Opzelura a pharmaceutical or a Nissan model automobile? I'm confused.
A very nice res, it works very well.
I knew someone who had a collection of devices with really strange failures that he just left that way, though he could have fixed them (or put it in the trash) No TV like that! I saved the nixie display with failing tubes and a blown driver IC when he got tired of it. Pretty colors.
1956 might be considered the Golden age~
Just love that Shango ..
I remember tracing out relevant sections of circuit diagrams from borrowed circuit diagrams on tracing paper in the late eighties, until I got access to a xerox.
Totally awesome. Like people who can ski down Mount Everest... you amaze me. I grew up in the late fifties and sixties where we had a Magnavox set in a mahogany cabinet and it was really beautiful. It seemed like every few months something would go wrong and someone would come over with some tubes etc.. Typically... after turning on the set the picture would start getting smaller and smaller till it would disappear altogether. Ironically... I have a macbook pro from 2013 that now opens up with a terrible image but gets better after time to normal looking after about 30 minutes. I wonder if a part from an old microwave might fix it?! I love your channel!
1:28 $328 to blow out candles? I must get one of those!
This is a really pretty set. If I were in California, I'd seriously consider adopting it. Oh well... some day I'll find something nice that's local.
All of that fiddling with the high voltage reminded me a bit of doctor Frankenstein.
Nice, I love to watch those videos when I go to sleep
37:10 “We no wanna twerko-squerkulate.”
That yellow wire is alive! 😳
That reminds me of late 80'S & early 90s Toshiba and sears vertical capacitor problems. C301, C305, C308, ect
I can recall watching the Beatles on ed Sullivan using a similar tv back when I was 6
Hmmm memories
5:30 - This brings back another repressed memory...yes I can imagine the desperation.... As someone else here mentioned, a child (or an adult for that matter) of the 60's had no copy machines or digital cameras/phones to make a copy of anything, so tracing was the only option. I remember having a whole pad of tracing paper as a kid, but I don't remember what I had traced. Today I still feel the frustration of the hard work of tracing, but also the disappointment in the relatively poor-looking copy due to the translucency of the paper. Therefore I probably appreciate the miracle of digital imaging and laser printing more than the "average bear" (Yogi the Bear) reference) of today.
1:17:03 Hey! We've been upgraded to the garage!
Does removing all the vacuum bulbs make it solid state ?
And wireless
@@volvo09 Check inside, still see wires
Lol
That tripler with the socket connectors on it goes in a Zenith TV
Good episode. Especially the fire.
Amigo Shangoo .iro todos tus vídeos, manda un saludo👋
The first generation of the Heathkit capacitor tester has a much more sensitive neon light blink circuit for indicating current through the capacitor. The Eye tube capacitor testers have a 470 K resistor on the grid of the eye tube, which limits their sensitivity. The eye testers will not reveal leaks above that resistance.
For a guy who's been on YT for over 14 years?, you have remarkably few subs - but that's because too many people are oversensitive...I love your commentary and it's good ASMR late at night or listening while working on my own stuff. Plus you love cats, so you can't be all that bad, eh? 😺🐈🔊
I've seen that hor. pattern on the old RCA early-mid 50's sets loaded with Bumble Bombs
I used to make loads of them in Library rooms. Half the time you couldnt hope to take the book out they didnt want it outside the building
38:40 What a display. It's awesome. I wonder what's causing that ??? (and can it be sustained just as a display piece?)
Great resurection. I'm realy surprised at the trippler giving such a good image.
It looked like a damped oscillation in the horizontal circuit, and appeared to be in sync with the vertical blanking. It kind of looked to me like a combination of a bad B+ bypass cap at the horizontal oscillator (letting noise on the B+ line, probably from the vertical circuit, ping the oscillator) and definitely a cap somewhere with very high ESR or high DC leakage. I've never seen a pattern like that either. Looked like a very sick cousin of a Lissajous curve on an oscilloscope.
Regarding the tracing paper being the last desperate act of a technician, not necessarily. It might of been a TV that was being worked on at a trade school and the only copy of the schematic they could get was in a public library copy of Sams. In those days, photocopiers were few and far between.
I'm here for the commercials...
