The reason is because they run on valves, and valves require heat. For a TV of this age, you had to wait for the internal valves to heat up and start working fully before the TV tube (which is also a valve) so then you had double the wait as the CRT had to warm up. Around the mid-late 60s, transistor TVs started to be introduced, cutting the warm up time dramatically, you’d only have to wait for the CRT to warm up, as the transistors, which replaced valves, did not require heat. Thats also why on 60s and after TV sets, the sound came on before the screen. There were some interesting hybrid TVs (which used valves and transistors) that used transistors for the visual section, and valves for the audio section, meaning the screen and sound would be synchronised; The sound would get louder as the screen grew brighter.
It was actually shot with Electronicams, which shot directly on film and broadcasted on tv at the same time, which is why the picture is sharp. Look it up, it’s pretty cool.
I still find it kind of magical to see a moving picture and hear sound on a device like that. Moving life inside of a cold conglomeration of metal and glass. Imagine what it was like at the time when TV was new and you had this in your house. It must have been mind blowing.

Birth didn't exist, population stayed the same, how everyone got on earth was like what heaven is to us...... a mystery. I showed them my smartphone. They didn't understand at first, but then I showed them the moving images, the sound. They never saw anything like it, they didn't even have any technology old or new to judge it on. When I recorded them and played it back, they were astonished that I captured the real world on my tiny box, and played it back, I'm saying you all don't know how good u have it, u are living in a constant acid trip and have become numb to magic of it all.

Yeah, It was always warm and toasty sitting right in front of the TV when I was a kid in the 60's. I wonder if that's why I'm bald. I hear radiation makes your hair fall out.

I grew up with CRTs in the 90s. Many had built-in warming circuits that allowed the CRT to come on almost instantly. One evening the warming circuit failed in our TV after a lightning storm.

Perfect choice of programme to use...."The Honeymooners". I love old vintage electronics, they were classy, built to last and had character. AND they weren't all plastic.

I’m amazed you touched that with your bare hands. My parents had an early 70s Zenith cabinet tv and by the mid 80s that thing was giving off such a charge that it’d make your fingers tingle. Plus it had this spooky way of turning itself on in the middle of the night.

yep, a picture appearing in front of a piece of glass formed from high voltage electrons, and a little 8volt glowing filament see s more magical than little color dots illuminating from micro voltages applied by a microcomputer
We had an old black and white tube TV in the basement in the 70s and even until the mid 80s. It was a great TV to have in the basement because it would keep you warm! :-)
The big tube in the back is the 5U4GB rectifier tube. It converts high voltage AC coming from the power transformer to high voltage DC and supplies it to the rest of the tubes and circuits in the TV.
The old 'wait while it warms-up' routine. Of course it would display The Honeymooners! I wonder if anyone truly appreciates just how much of a _rarity_ this combination is.
I love those old monochrome round CRT's . I grew up on porthole viewing. This model was in vogue as I was just entering the electronics field. I spent a lot of late nights in my laboratory fixing and watching.
I have a 1949 restored Admiral. It has a 17" square tube. Elegant design! Simple. easy to restore. Works great. Found it at the dump, ready to be crushed. rescued & restored it. Rebuilt CRT worked like new.
There something beautiful about these old electronics the way they look and sound, like there alive. Everything now is so cold and cheaply made and if it breaks throw it away and buy a new one.
my aunt had a valve TV, really enjoyed visiting her as i got to watch TV! One day it broke and the electrician was amazed when he opened it, and amazed that a valve TV had lasted so long!
We have an old 50s tv that was my nan and grandads and just found this looking for what TV would have looked like with a round screen (although ours has a flat top and bottom, where there is no image on the screen here, there is no screen)
I saved the picture tube and all the other tubes from a tv set like this 30 years ago. All in a cardboard box. I doubt if anyone will ever use them again.
Both old radios as well as old TVs that used tubes had to literally "warm up" before you could hear or see anything. Notice that the sound comes on first, before the picture appears. I'm old enough to remember this process, as well as how the picture immediately shrank down to a glowing dot in the middle of the screen when the television was turned off. That dot would linger for a few seconds, gradually getting dimmer. As a very little kid I would sometimes sit up close to the screen to watch this happen.
... Good *GRIEF,* that TV console background left looks *very* much like the revolving RCA beast that we had in the 1950's. It took ages to warm up, had that collapsing neutron star brilliant dot when turned off, and reeked slightly of ozone. Peering through the back composite panel's ventilation holes revealed a glowing orange Manhattan skyline of vacuum tubes which, when burned out, my Dad would pull and we'd go to a store and test them, buy new ones, and reinstall 'em ourselves. We got NYC broadcast TV on a B&W antenna strapped to our chimney; I helped my Dad install it. It looked like a box kite skeleton when assembled. I thought Dad was Superman. TV wasn't broadcast on a given channel for hours at a time during both day and night-- instead you'd get that focus card thing with the Indian Chief on it. 2 was CBS, 4 was NBC, 5 WNEW, 7 ABC, 9 WOR, 11 WPIX, 13 NET (PBS). UHF was for the future. Little did that enthralled little blonde boy know that one day, at the age of 71, he would be typing out this *Comment* for the entire world to read on a SciFi gizmo called a 21.5" MAC Pedestal. *-- How cool is that?*
I had one of the last tube TVs, I became very in tune with the warm up noise it made, so much so that if one was turned on at school, before they started using smart projectors, I would hear it and be able to tell you which class room was going to get to watch a movie that day. My mother was also very in tune with it, and knew I was going to play on my original xbox whenever she heard it.
I think these tv's of the past was better then todays tv's with many tv's that are sold today especially samsung brand can view & hear people inside their homes, newer technology of today is not always better..
Es asombrosa la sencillez en apariencia del televisor, también el área de alta tensión (flyback.etc) pero sobre todo y como dicen por allí el alto nivel de definición o nitidez, esto se debe a la alta calidad del circuito y al muy buen estado del tubo de imagen (crt), felicidades y que dure muchos años más. La electrónica de válvulas de vacío o tubo de vacío se caracteriza por su sencillez y a su vez llamativa iluminación que le da un toque mágico, saludos desde Uruguay.
I was five in 1958 and remember an old Admiral TV my dad bought from a TV repair shop. It had a semi square 19 inch screen in a metal gold and gray metal cabinet. It was a "Table Top" model. it was about two feet long. When we'd turn it on it would take a minute for warm up and an image with sound to appear. The thing would warm up the room after being on for an hour. Good times.
I know that this TV model looks terribly antiquated. But this was the beginning of TVs. There would never be flat screen digital smart TVs if not for the old cathode ray models. Beautiful Admiral set.
It looks phenomenal..... When I was little, I looked in electron tubes for electrons that flew between the anode and cathode....I could never see them.
Flashlights have come a long way, too! In a way.... One that could cast very accurate shadows. And lots of little people or drawing paper inside. That's what I thought when I was little. But I knew somehow that probably wasn't right because there was no sign of little people and animals or excess paper!
This reminds me of the CRT TV we had up till a decade back. It had better picture clarity with an SD connection. Now, my LED wants a HD connection for picture and an external music system for audio.
Reparateur admirable , Combien en a t'il comme ça dans le monde, un vrai professionnel c'est quelqu'un qui recherche vraiment les pannes avec passion et tact, bravo et encore bravo !!!
What's impressive to me is a 1950 TV would be able to show an analog transmission from 2005. The digital TV you have today might be obsolete in 10 years.
people keep saying that the tv has a high resolution, no it doesn't even have a resolution because it doesn't use pixels, just some magnets and copper with smart engineering
I used to have a 58 RCA Victor like the one to the left at the beginning of the video. Tube was burnt out and hardly had a picture. Gutted the internals and my friend turned it into a fish tank. I still have an intact 1948 RCA Victor "eyewitness" 9t240 television similar in design to this unit but I just dont have the know how to work on it. I plugged it in 5 years ago and the tube flashed then it went black. If you plug it in now all of the lamps glow and the gun on the picture tube glows but I think there is no high voltage. Also probably all the capacitors are shot. Either way I am just keeping it in my basement for preservation but like I said no chance of it working unless I find someone to work on it.
Ralph bought a TV once in co-ownership with Norton. They started fighting about access rights so he had to get rid of it and we never saw a TV again in the Kramden apartment.
I believe that was "Kramden vs Norton" episode from The Lost Honeymooners. Interesting that the CRT Ralph pulled from the TV set had gone to air, most likely a defective picture tube used as a prop.
I used to own the large RCA Victor Deluxe that you have in the back of the video. My tube was burned out. I do however have a 1949 RCA 9t240 that I need help resurrecting. On the 58 all I had to do was replace a few vac tubes but the 9t240 does not want to even play a crackle through the speakers. It does have all WAX caps but I don't even know where to go with those
When I was a kid our tube tv wouldn't start one snowy Friday early evening. My dad called the tv guy but he couldn't come out. My dad knew the tube that burnt out and took it out and we headed out into the snow to the store and bought a new tube. He put the tube in and we watched 'the wild wild west' that night. A memory locked in my head. You have to realize too that tv antennas would be affected by so many things. Birds, bad weather and the worst thing; a wind storm could blow over the antennas. The real magic came in the late 60's for us, colour tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn't they just use transistors for the video and audio?
I know they made LCDs that way.
Joe Joe I think I remember having a TV like that, vividly.
The picture looks sharp. Who needs HDTV.

Especially as it was probably recorded with a kinescope.

Square picture tubes resulted in the pincushion circuit which stretched the corners of a round picture to make is square. Hence the distortion.

Reparateur admirable , Combien en a t'il comme ça dans le monde, un vrai professionnel c'est quelqu'un qui recherche vraiment les pannes avec passion et tact, bravo et encore bravo !!!
I have a 1951 rca wooden set, with a turntable and radio built in. Was working until a few years ago. Just never replaced the vaccum tubes
A classic TV show on a classic TV set. It doesn't get any better than that.
Pensar en lo genial de la electronica para barrer horizontal y verticalmente la pantalla para formar las imagenes. Grandioso!
Wow even the Honeymooners seem too new for that television.
I cant believe the TV evolved so slow over almost 70 years
From Lightbulb to LED
Seif Al-hinai … How quickly we forget that we were still using "light bulb technology" for TV pictures only 20 years ago.
What's impressive to me is a 1950 TV would be able to show an analog transmission from 2005. The digital TV you have today might be obsolete in 10 years.
Crt not light bulb
The picture is surprisingly sharp.
people keep saying that the tv has a high resolution, no it doesn't even have a resolution because it doesn't use pixels, just some magnets and copper with smart engineering
Discrete lines though, and the bandwith limits too frequent color changes, so they do have a limited resolution.
Thanks for sharing! I used to fix TV's for 20 years. This video is so cool! I subscribed.
Thank you for watching and subscribing!
Amazing amount of picture quality for 1949, more than enough to actually see meanignful content. Our gramps were in·gen·ious.
Picture quality is excellent 👌
That's a really amazing picture I'd love to own that set
What I remember of these old Tvs is they don't start up instantly but they start with 12 lines then 11, then, ten.... and finally they start 😲😁
I used to have a 58 RCA Victor like the one to the left at the beginning of the video. Tube was burnt out and hardly had a picture. Gutted the internals and my friend turned it into a fish tank. I still have an intact 1948 RCA Victor "eyewitness" 9t240 television similar in design to this unit but I just dont have the know how to work on it. I plugged it in 5 years ago and the tube flashed then it went black. If you plug it in now all of the lamps glow and the gun on the picture tube glows but I think there is no high voltage. Also probably all the capacitors are shot. Either way I am just keeping it in my basement for preservation but like I said no chance of it working unless I find someone to work on it.
Ralph bought a TV once in co-ownership with Norton. They started fighting about access rights so he had to get rid of it and we never saw a TV again in the Kramden apartment.
I believe that was "Kramden vs Norton" episode from The Lost Honeymooners. Interesting that the CRT Ralph pulled from the TV set had gone to air, most likely a defective picture tube used as a prop.
That's actually a great little tv.
It has an amazing picture.
I used to own the large RCA Victor Deluxe that you have in the back of the video. My tube was burned out. I do however have a 1949 RCA 9t240 that I need help resurrecting. On the 58 all I had to do was replace a few vac tubes but the 9t240 does not want to even play a crackle through the speakers. It does have all WAX caps but I don't even know where to go with those
Прекрасное качество изображения!
Excellent image quality!
Maravilloso aparato del año 1949 marca Admiral, me encanta su pantalla redonda, un lujo en esos años..! .
Esta é muito antiga mesmo e o que é legal é que ainda funciona! Rio de Janeiro RJ Brasil
I never knew a round circle CRT tv existed until now!
Looks like the memory scanner from meet the robinsons
The resolution is not bad at all! 👍
When I was a kid our tube tv wouldn't start one snowy Friday early evening. My dad called the tv guy but he couldn't come out. My dad knew the tube that burnt out and took it out and we headed out into the snow to the store and bought a new tube. He put the tube in and we watched 'the wild wild west' that night. A memory locked in my head. You have to realize too that tv antennas would be affected by so many things. Birds, bad weather and the worst thing; a wind storm could blow over the antennas. The real magic came in the late 60's for us, colour tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those TVs are much better than the ones that make today
This is your daily dose of Recommendation
TV that time.
Nostalgia at its best !!!
Very glad Circle TVs never stuck around
