    Shango, friend, i was TV CRT technician por many year here in Brazil, worked on 12 TV repair shops in BR and one there in the United States, and also teach some tips of electronics in my channel on UA-cam, in Portuguese, of course, but one thing i learned on UA-cam: The UA-cam not transform you to TV or any electronics technician from zero. Only help you to improve your knowledge about this area, but only for who is professional or student. However if you want to become a great professional in this area, study good books and courses (i also sell courses) in English, Portuguese, Spanish, whatever in your language. And practice in
    the counter of some repair shop or in your own home if you can. Just this way you going to be a great professional and that tips in You tube channels like this will help you alot. Thanks for the videos Shango, keep going you channel is awsome.

    Hi Shango066, I sure enjoy your videos on the restoring of old TV sets. I use to work at a TV repair shop in the late 1970s. The place was Grand TV in Duluth MN & they went out of business in the 1990s. I my self had a TV VCR shop in the late 1980s up till the year 2002. I find it cool & incredible your able to fix up very old B&W TVs for folks out there in CA. Up here in MN most every one has moved to the new HD TVs & lots of older normal working TV sets People have quit using & lots old Picture Tube TVs go to the dump or to recycling places. I am retired now & My Hobby over the past years has been restoring old Ampro reel to reel Tape recorders. The Ampro 758 I had when I was only 12 years old & the Ampro 758 & 757 were made in 1955 & 1956. Back in 1973 I was fixing it all the time. I all ways wanted to find another Ampro 758 over the 1980s & 1990s & never could find one. In 2007 I found one on ebay & I fiixed it up & restored it. Then after that I found more Ampro 758s & the Ampro 757 & I was buying them on ebay & fixing them up & I now got 10 of them & they all work very good. I all so fix & repair small Portable 5" reel to reel players to & some Sony Stereo reel to reel recorders. I fixed & restored them by new Tubes & Belts & adjusting them & replacing Audio Heads if needed. I love all kind of older Music & enjoy recording off them old Ampro units when I get some new old 45s & 78s or 33 LP Records. Your Videos are incredible & since Christmas time I enjoyed lots of your old TV restoring on UA-cam. Happy new year out there I sure wish you were closer. We have a lot in common in the Electronics world. take care. Jerry.

    This video has given me some hope. I picked up a boat anchor DuMont 304A Oscilligraph scope at a yard sale for pretty cheap. Got it home and discovered it had been about 8 inches deep in water, there was silt all over everything inside. But being afraid to power it up because of crud in the transformer made me set the restoration project aside. But seeing this old girl come to life has sparked some hope in me that it's a viable restore.

    I am sick of god channels using click bait to promote for money. I will support yours all day. You have always been just honest. Thank you. Btw. For those who don't know, to support, you need to watch the entire ad. Don't skip the ad. It's an exchange. If you want videos, watch the ads. Simple.

    The Newage Generator, Stamford, England - I live 72 miles from there. There's a company on the same road called Cummins Generator Technologies. Their business overview states they make AC generators from 0.6 to 20,000kVA under the MARKON, STAMFORD and AvK product brands. So I guess they're still going..sort of.

Arrow engines were famous for people starting them on a pump jack and remembering years later to go back and check on them... They still build these engines today. arrowengine.com/en/ the website tells you how to change the oil...because they are running pumps etc.. and can't be turned off you drain the oil while adding new oil into the filter.

For example I am a user on audiokarma, and I disabled the addblocker for their site. I like your channel and I disabled it here too. I disable the addblocker for every thing on the net that I like, find useful and like to support even a little. But surfing the net without an addblocker?

    Now I’m not sure but I think you can turn off ad block on individual youtubers or websites, so that you can support the people you like through ads.

      You Can and I do. I use ublock origin For channels I like and support it's off,like Shango's. If there are a lot of ads I will let them plat through and then re-watch with the ad block on

    We had a 1974 Magnavox with plug in modules. And instant on. I think the filament in the picture tube was always on. There was a switch to turn it off. 25 inch Console, though.

    The first thing I would have done was take it all apart and pressure wash that unsanitary waste from the whole thing and then refurbish the main board to repair any corroded contacts. As it is, it's a health hazard and a fire risk, not to mention that it looks and smells awful. It's too rare of a set to let it sit in its own filth any longer. Save it!

    I would never install an add blocker just because I know it helps you and your channel. Your channel is full of knowledge and you deserve any money you can make on those adds. How hard is it to hit the skip button anyway!?
