Thank you all for your great comments, sorry I couldn't answer earlier - time zone difference, I was a bit asleep. This was a hell of a journey to get it working and film it for you guys. Also I want to thank Shango for his videos and sharing his experience fixing this stuff. I love old electronics, but without his channel I would never even attempted to power on such an old TV, not even mentioning to get it working again.
Excellent work, I’m glad that Shango posted your video, you should start a channel of your own repairing these, I’m sure you’ll do quite well! I’d subscribe
I started laughing within 5 seconds after he started. A beautiful looking set and a great presentation. This young man has a future in making electronic repair videos. Thank you shango066 for presenting this for us. 😂
I've been watching and learning from Shango for many many years. I always wanted to make a video, but I never had the courrage. Thank you Shango for letting this amazing guy show us his work. I plan on restoring my old Yugoslav TV one day. Electronic Industry Niš, Yugoslavia made tubes, TVs, radios....
There was a popular Grundig TV back in 70's in Yugoslavia, it had two "ON" buttons. One was for "cold start" i.e. heating of the tubes, second was "warm start" or "instant on" that had to be pressed about a minute after the first one. We kids were playing with those as TV speaker was making a loud "BANG" sound if both pressed at once. Three of such TV's in my small building, and they all survived until mid 90's.
Amazing how the quality of this TV flies in the face of the propaganda we were fed about the USSR. Hummm....what else have they lied about? Oh, never mind. Thanks Shango, very enjoyable 2+ hours.
a comment from random russian dude passing by. Thanks to modern technology I was lucky to take a look at some vintage western propaganda. I was cringed at some points to say the least. It was like... we did have and still have problems but definitely not the ones that are shown there
What a great video and a decent guy. With all the chaos in that part of the world right now, it's easy to forget there are a lot of good gentle people that are just trying to live their lives and do their thing.
Hi from Dundee, Scotland. Thank you for this post. I remember back in the early 70''s, there was a brand of Soviet made TV on sale over here. It was built like a tank with a proper mains transformer, no mains dropper here. A headphone socket and a switch to switch between a front facing and side facing speaker. Proof of its ruggedness was that one of the sank in a tugboat to the bottom of the River Tay. The tug was raised. The TV thoroughly dried out and it worked! Soviet radios and radiograms were popular over here too.
@@graemedavidson499 Hi from Dundee. Yes, they were Rigonda's. They were rented out by a company in Broughty Ferry called Lyon and Sheriff. Good luck, Jim
@@jimgordon1563 Nice to learn where they came from! A knew a couple lorry drivers using Rigonda portables back then. A bad day would follow if they fell asleep in front of the TV!
The presenter is an amateur comedian as well as technical. This was definitely worth posting and viewing, even though it would be slightly contraversial in the current politcal climate. Perfect for Shango066 channel :). In all seriousness though, this was a well presented resurrection and I really did enjoy watching this.
That was awsome, your a good man Shango giving this guy a break like this. And if the presenter is reading these comments, that was wonderful to watch, and please know we dont all agree with what our criminals in charge are doing without our consent.
@@neutralobservation9418 I have some (Russian Family) around Moscow. She was an exchange student we had back in 1995. One of her parents lives in Kiev, Ukraine, not sure where her dad is at the moment, but he was in Russia. Good people, crappy government!
I feel really bad for the normal russian citizens who have had their government hijacked by basically a mafia. These people dont want to harm anyone and nor do they support the nightmare their dictator caused. It's sad that there is a generalized stigma against these people. I hope this guy stays safe and continues growing his channel
@@clappinmonkey0944 You are a brainwashed m0r0n, Russia is under an existential threat from NATO, and has been ever since the end of the cold war, they have every right to protect their homeland and every good Russian understands this. NATO is sacrificing Ukrainians in order to weaken Russia because they want its vast resources, unfortunately for our criminals in charge NATO is losing, again. If you cannot see this then you will never understand, maybe start by turning your TV off Imagine living in a country where drag queen story time isnt a thing and mentally ill paedophiles are not treated as persecuted minorities let alone allowed access to children, that is Russia, and God bless them for it.
I've been in electronics since my early teens, but in my mids 20s I got in a very long hiatus where I would turn to my soldering iron once in a year or so. Four years ago, Shango and his videos got me into the hobby again, and I might say that I never got my diagnostic and repair skills as good as they're now. I really learned a lot! Fixing stuff is an activity which greatly helped me not going crazy during most tough sanitary restrictions two years ago, and also got me back in ham radio, getting a callsign and going on the air after maybe ten years. Also, it's a great joy to get an old and silent radio and make it alive again. Thank you Shango, you rock! 73s de PY2ALV - Álvaro.
This young Russian restorer is so funny. His English is very good .The sound of his voice reminds me of Dan Sheekoz , a "simple Russian man" as he states on his YT channel. Notice speaker is from 1959 so it is actually a 1959 model. You did a great job in it's resurrection young man. The Party approves. LOL Thanks for hosting this guest video of him on your channel Shango, it was excellent! Poka ( see you later).
It's an early Record model, as it was first sold in '56, without any postfixes and letters after the model name. The TV itself judging by the tubes and caps is from 59 or 60.
Old Soviet stuff is very interesting. So different than US made but at the same time there's some things in common. Loved the part about 51 minutes when the TV started really smoking... from that sound I knew that a filter cap had blown. Had that happen to me once with a guitar amp, and that stuff really stinks! Grandmaster Shango should be proud of his disciple halfway around the world.
"Now you see why shango066 does it outside!" He lives in Los Angeles! LOL. Hey, man, your English is great and your accent is awesome. Nice guest, shango066! Vintage video equipment, a smokeshow, a beautiful cat, a Commodore PET, do-it-yourself transformer rewinding, what more could you want? A picture on the screen! Set your ion trap for best brightness. Yours is a bent gun CRT - the heavy ions slap to the side and don't burn the phosphors, the ion trap magnet redirects the light-weight electrons towards the phosphors. Aluminized CRTs were starting to happen in the North American TV sets at this point, no ion trap required. Any time you don't have full deflection, keep the screen brightness down so you don't burn the phosphors. That's a good-looking TV set and it looks like it is well-designed and well-built. Nice work fixing that! Thank you for sharing it!
This is one of the best restoration videos I have ever seen. Well done to the young Russian Fellow, and well done Shango for showing his work on the channel. No nonses, diagnosing and learning. No BS. This is the type of thing that makes me so proud to be part of this collecting and restoration area. Spot welded connections under chassis? insane!
Just one correction. Its not SECAM TV set. SECAM is the color standard that wasnt even standardized at the time this B/W set was produced. This B/W standard is called CCIR-D or simply 625/50.
I love the guest video. I’ve learned from you that vintage electronics are pretty much bulletproof compared to modern chinesium garbage. I’ve learned quite a bit from you. Thank you for taking the time to help people learn to save these old devices. I’m currently working on my great grandpas mid 30’s RCA floor radio. It works great for its age but has leaky caps and needs some rewiring .
The cabinet and the inside components are in very good condition for such a 1956 set. Looks like it wasn't used that much and that it was properly stored all this years.
Don't get me wrong, I like Shango's videos and this Russian chap seems amiable enough, but is there really an assault on the Russian people at the moment?
I was living in St Petersburg when the USA and the UK carried out the (illegal) invasion of Iraq. One day a Russian came up to me shouted something about the war, spat in my face and said, 'yankee go home!' It might be different where you are but I live in a town with Ukrainian and Russian refugees and that sort of thing isn't happening. If anything we seem to be normalising the war. Russians can travel freely, play in international sporting events, and unless they get drafted pretty much continue to live normal lives in Russia and elsewhere.
That TV is almost my age, very great video with Russian technology, it's great to know all kinds of styles and techniques from other countries, thanks Shango066 for sharing
I hope you do more English language videos in the future. This video is so long, I had to watch it in installments, but it was quite good. There is a reason Shango often uploads his videos in several parts. Otherwise this is quite good. I really want to see more Soviet era electronics. Your kitty seems very anxious to learn how to do this stuff, you should let her help more. Shango should have an equally interested assistant.
Ha ha. I have the same trouble with my cat. She get's into everything I'm doing. That CRT is terrifying. Nice work, Russian Shango. I'm very impressed. Gorgeous cat.
Smart young person diving into the shrinking art of vintage consumer electronics restoration. Nice to see what we can have in common with PEOPLE abroad even while our NATIONS are enemies. Did they clone US components over the years or is just the nature of transformers and capacitors to look similar from the physics of their operation? While I miss seeing a SHANGO original today, im realistic about fact the roundie sets are becoming scarce and restorable inventory must be increasingly rare. Ive been routinely digging down to four to ten years ago SHANGO reels for what entertains me. I don't know but I suspect roundie TV repairs will someday be done. Maybe that time is already near.
You mean round tube color sets? Rectangular vacuum tube color sets are basically the same just the tube is a different shape and they have the addition of some pin cushion correction. There are plenty to go well into the future
You have done great encouraging people all over to learn and start old restorations Great Job Shango you're awesome. Great video to watch Learned something new from USSR days
Thank you for posting this video Shango it is so cool to see how other people work on the stuff we work on over here. Fighting limited resources of parts and test equipment boy it's got to be rough thanks again great video
Thanks shango006 for this video!. Nice to know that we have other 006 classic tv repair guys from across the globe. The video was smooth calm collective educational and very imformative, with a very special guest, the cool cat!!! Loved this video!
I love old Soviet tech. Most of that old equipment was made to a different standard, and for a different consumer. Stuff had to last, be adaptable to the power on hand and be simple to repair with basic tools. It's a fascinating parallel to what was sold in the West at the time. Certainly initial cost was secondary to the requirement that it work for years with little to no maintenance, and little access to repair materials.
Seems like a somewhat similar philosophy to old AT&T-Western Electric phones, stupidly overbuilt, intended to last decades, designed to be serviced and repaired, and, when a customer was done with one, it would get refurbished and rented out to someone else. Similarly, AT&T was a monopoly with effectively no competition, so they had no outside pressure to do things cheaper
Thanks Shango for hosting Schpulka and her owner.. Moral of the story is keep moving forward, and don't forget to check how hot your electrolytics are.
This channel also got me into repairing electronics for fun. I always had the interest but watching video after video of the diagnosing process, I picked up on the basics which I was able to apply to fixing an old stereo that had been lying around for years.
I'm impressed with this video, at the person restoring a Soviet made TV receiver. Makes you wonder why the manufacture had a lot of the connections welded.
I follow you since 2010 or something... Most of the things that i learned it was thanks to your videos. I want to improve my spoken english and open a TV Radio repair youtube channel as well, for now i use my page on FB and Twitter to share my knowledge to young people... I agree with you, some of them are very talented
I like to remind everybody how much we feel connected and have in common with this "normal" Russian guy, way more than the ones in power who are responsible for the wars they are waging, while the media is propagating the narrative "us vs them". No, it's some power hungry people at the top. People unite, love you all, peace!
That TV is built to a level that would be unheard of today. I will add it to the list of survivors with the impending holocaust. Cockroaches, Twinkies, and Russian TV set.
Thank you for forwarding this video. It's always nice to see that the human race will always have something in common no matter what the media wants us to believe
well done shango for showing us this talented young man (ymsi 1), great video. So good to see that you promote other youtubers in this field. Love the cat appearances also. Thanks.
Fascinating, interesting and very enjoyable. Congratulations to our Russian friend for his analytical approach and ability not just in the electrical field but his mastery of technical English. Thanks @shango066 for sharing
I Talked to someone at the Pittsburgh Antique Radio club and he told me that he sent a lot of yokes and flybacks to Shango. I could use some yoke covers for 50's vintage RCA TVs.
Those soviet can capacitors, the one with the black bottoms are actually quite reliable still to this day. But the ones with the yellowish plastic bottoms are always bad. Those white tubular capacitors are silver-mica, with a thick ceramic case. The green resistors often fail where the connection straps go loose or crack, but the red ones are extremely reliable and don't go off-spec, they're metal-film
Maybe pF values of the ceramic tubular ones are mica, but the nF and 100x nF range is PIO, as he said. I don't have much experience with Soviet made ones, but I have lot of Hungarian, East-German and West-German ones of the same construction, in some of my vintage test equipment. And it's not a myth, they are reliable even after 60+ years, despite being PIO. I saw some that failed, but not more often than modern plastic film ones.
White tubular capacitors with a thick ceramic case and soldered-in end caps are paper-oil in general. Those with mica generally have "squashed tubular" shape and rather low capacitances.
Brilliant gentleman and good English for being in Russia, and it's nice to see that you're channel reaching overseas had an impact on interest in preservation. Very cool set. Back then, Its interesting how Russia had to produce thier own components.
I really enjoyed watching this video. The smoke was spectacular and so was your commitment to getting the TV working again. It’s made me feel I should really should get my old 1950s TV out and try get it working again. It’s not very straight forward though as it was modified it so much when when it was restored from scrap in the 1960s. Fortunately I have a hand drawn circuit diagram for it. I really enjoyed seeing Shango’s video on your television- it was very appropriate. I also enjoyed the portion about tungsten light bulbs. Thank you Shango066 for posting this video. ymsi 1 I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to more Soviet elektronika repairs :-) Keep up the good work.
Fantastic! Great young guy with outstanding knowledge. Loved the presentation and attitude! Thank you shango066 for introducing this good man on your channel.
It's excellent to see younger people like yourself getting interested in a trade i have been involved with for years taking keen interest! Keep up the good work.
Thanx for sharing this. I watch as much for your sense of humour as your intelligent analysis. I'm just a beginner, but I gain more practical knowledge from you and Uncle Doug than from textbooks.
This is WAY cool!!! He SO lucked out finding a nos flyback-wow!!! Also loved his use of a neon bulb to check for hv-never seen that before. Oh, and his cat seems to know english as well as he does cuz I could clearly understand MEOW!!!!!! :)
Very enjoying video! Nice to see how electronics are made in other countries. Congratulations on getting that set back to life! What better way of showcasing it than playing a Shango video on it, seems very appropriate. Special thanks to Shango for showing this video on his channel.
Well, really happy to see this young man doing this type of work and doing it well. So Shango, is he going to get a UA-cam channel? Or, are sanctions a problem. I do want to say that I appreciate you working as an intermediary for him, so that his video can get out. Maybe this can work to cure some of the real stupidity that is going on in the world keeping people divided...
I enjoy your videos I've worked with TVs old stereos etc. I have found several young people that are interested in the old tube type equipment, ive shown them you videos. You're a good teacher
I've learned a majority of what I know now about tube televisions from Shango.I started making UA-cam videos inspired from him. Never stop making these videos, I always find them incredibly informative and enjoyable.
That was very fun to watch. Such a beautiful set. Great job getting it working again. I love these old TV sets and I really appreciate people who take the time getting them back to live an maintaining them. Those old Soviet Sets where great TVs and very beautiful. I especially love the design of the Raduga 706 (Радуга).One of the most beautiful sets ever in my opinion. Sadly due to a construction flaw many of them burned down and they are quite rare today.
This is good stuff, this guy has every reason to be proud of himself and his work bringing this Cold War classic back to life. The kitty is an added bonus as well!
Hi! This was a really great video! I really like his attention to detail! I'm always impressed with the high quality of this soviet electronics! Their capacitors are very high quality. Thank you again! By the way the cat video did pop! Lol
Beautiful video and also beautiful uidea to host a video from another channel. At least this way we learn about other very good channels, which otherwise UA-cam will never let us know about.
This is also were i learnt how to work on tube tvs....there are a bunch of channels but none seems to go in depth with diagnosing stuff as this one...i still remember not knowing what a damper or horizontal output tube did... and when i was fixing my first tv, a "nordmende diplomat 58" with around 20 tubes or so, i wouldnt even know how to connect a signal to it or what type of modulator to buy...now i am very efficient at fixing them despite the german sets being way different than the american ones, i learnt all the basics from here...so thank you for that, man..
Thank you all for your great comments, sorry I couldn't answer earlier - time zone difference, I was a bit asleep. This was a hell of a journey to get it working and film it for you guys. Also I want to thank Shango for his videos and sharing his experience fixing this stuff. I love old electronics, but without his channel I would never even attempted to power on such an old TV, not even mentioning to get it working again.
Thank you both!
Will you try another one, for example "famous" colour ULPCT like Rubin 714 or similar?
Greetings from Melbourne, this was an amazing video. Thanks to you both.❤
Excellent work, I’m glad that Shango posted your video, you should start a channel of your own repairing these, I’m sure you’ll do quite well! I’d subscribe

This channel also got me into repairing electronics for fun. I always had the interest but watching video after video of the diagnosing process, I picked up on the basics which I was able to apply to fixing an old stereo that had been lying around for years.
ഇന്നത്തെ ഒരു ടിവി സെറ്റും 10 വർഷം കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ പിന്നെ വർക്ക് ചെയ്യില്ല🇮🇳🙏
The whole thing was fantastic from start to finish, looking forward to seeing more from him.
I'm impressed with this video, at the person restoring a Soviet made TV receiver. Makes you wonder why the manufacture had a lot of the connections welded.
I follow you since 2010 or something... Most of the things that i learned it was thanks to your videos. I want to improve my spoken english and open a TV Radio repair youtube channel as well, for now i use my page on FB and Twitter to share my knowledge to young people... I agree with you, some of them are very talented
This is really cool! Let the love of vintage grow everywhere. I like this guy. He's got real potential.
You’re tabby cat is beautiful I love cats I also have a tabby,she is 30 pounds big girl me and my wife love her like one of our children fun video
Good work that man,👍 and well done Shango for allowing him on your channel, top stuff!
Oh, and a handsome looking tv. set.
I like to remind everybody how much we feel connected and have in common with this "normal" Russian guy, way more than the ones in power who are responsible for the wars they are waging, while the media is propagating the narrative "us vs them". No, it's some power hungry people at the top. People unite, love you all, peace!
Great video . Nice to see the younger crowd still interested in older tech and diagnostics
That TV is built to a level that would be unheard of today. I will add it to the list of survivors with the impending holocaust. Cockroaches, Twinkies, and Russian TV set.
Thank you for forwarding this video. It's always nice to see that the human race will always have something in common no matter what the media wants us to believe
well done shango for showing us this talented young man (ymsi 1), great video. So good to see that you promote other youtubers in this field. Love the cat appearances also. Thanks.
thank you for the video Dan I appreciate it.
Fascinating, interesting and very enjoyable. Congratulations to our Russian friend for his analytical approach and ability not just in the electrical field but his mastery of technical English. Thanks @shango066 for sharing
I Talked to someone at the Pittsburgh Antique Radio club and he told me that he sent a lot of yokes and flybacks to Shango. I could use some yoke covers for 50's vintage RCA TVs.
Dude thank you soooo much for sharing this vid....this as got to top my Favs for sure! Thank you
2 hours and 57 seconds of shango in russian...........going and getting beer and chips!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video, couldn't stop watching.
It has taken me three days to watch all of this video. What fun!
Amazing & entertaining.
1000W incandescent future!
Thank you sir , That young guy has all of your genius and talent.
That’s a really cool video. Remember this TV in my country Czechoslovakia😅
Those soviet can capacitors, the one with the black bottoms are actually quite reliable still to this day.
But the ones with the yellowish plastic bottoms are always bad.
Those white tubular capacitors are silver-mica, with a thick ceramic case. The green resistors often fail where the connection straps go loose or crack, but the red ones are extremely reliable and don't go off-spec, they're metal-film
Maybe pF values of the ceramic tubular ones are mica, but the nF and 100x nF range is PIO, as he said. I don't have much experience with Soviet made ones, but I have lot of Hungarian, East-German and West-German ones of the same construction, in some of my vintage test equipment. And it's not a myth, they are reliable even after 60+ years, despite being PIO. I saw some that failed, but not more often than modern plastic film ones.
White tubular capacitors with a thick ceramic case and soldered-in end caps are paper-oil in general. Those with mica generally have "squashed tubular" shape and rather low capacitances.
Excellent video thank you sir I really enjoyed your time .. good luck sir. .. I was a TV service engineer for many years.. good health everyone
Russia shango
In soviet russia electronics fix you
Lots of good, smart folks over there. If you like cars, check out Garage 54 those guys are awesome.
@@ChrisR garage 54 is the funniest shit lol I watch them regularly!
That was a great afternoon, THank you
I love this guy. Good on you shango for putting this up for us to watch. This is an amazing video
Brilliant gentleman and good English for being in Russia, and it's nice to see that you're channel reaching overseas had an impact on interest in preservation. Very cool set. Back then, Its interesting how Russia had to produce thier own components.
Its like a cross between shango, hydraulic press channel and kreosan. "Now we will deal with it"
I really enjoyed watching this video. The smoke was spectacular and so was your commitment to getting the TV working again. It’s made me feel I should really should get my old 1950s TV out and try get it working again. It’s not very straight forward though as it was modified it so much when when it was restored from scrap in the 1960s. Fortunately I have a hand drawn circuit diagram for it.
I really enjoyed seeing Shango’s video on your television- it was very appropriate. I also enjoyed the portion about tungsten light bulbs.
Thank you Shango066 for posting this video.
ymsi 1 I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to more Soviet elektronika repairs :-)
Keep up the good work.
Fantastic! Great young guy with outstanding knowledge. Loved the presentation and attitude! Thank you shango066 for introducing this good man on your channel.
Hell yeah! Well done perun066 or whoever you are. Cool TV, lightbulbs and cat.
It's excellent to see younger people like yourself getting interested in a trade i have been involved with for years taking keen interest! Keep up the good work.
well done, Schankgo 066, totally enjoyed this vid, another fascinating approach to repairs. nice one.
Thanx for sharing this. I watch as much for your sense of humour as your intelligent analysis. I'm just a beginner, but I gain more practical knowledge from you and Uncle Doug than from textbooks.
Love this! I've watched your videos more times than I can count, it's great that you introduced your audience to someone new!
This is WAY cool!!! He SO lucked out finding a nos flyback-wow!!! Also loved his use of a neon bulb to check for hv-never seen that before. Oh, and his cat seems to know english as well as he does cuz I could clearly understand MEOW!!!!!! :)
Often standard electricians probe with neon bulb was used for it. But you should only put it close to H out, never touch the live part.
Shango's Russian Counterpart 😎
One of my favorites in your channel 👍
Very enjoying video! Nice to see how electronics are made in other countries. Congratulations on getting that set back to life! What better way of showcasing it than playing a Shango video on it, seems very appropriate. Special thanks to Shango for showing this video on his channel.
Well, really happy to see this young man doing this type of work and doing it well.
So Shango, is he going to get a UA-cam channel? Or, are sanctions a problem.
I do want to say that I appreciate you working as an intermediary for him, so that his video can get out.
Maybe this can work to cure some of the real stupidity that is going on in the world keeping people divided...
I enjoy your videos I've worked with TVs old stereos etc. I have found several young people that are interested in the old tube type equipment, ive shown them you videos. You're a good teacher
I heard that in Russia television watches you.
I'm afraid this is not so much a joke anymore.
Only in Russia?
The Shango video on the 1956 TV was Epic. Very well done video hosted by Shango WOW!
Nice work, the video was great.
I've learned a majority of what I know now about tube televisions from Shango.I started making UA-cam videos inspired from him. Never stop making these videos, I always find them incredibly informative and enjoyable.
❤❤❤❤Thank you for this, Shango.....
At first, I thought "Guest video? Who wants that?", but he won me over in short order. Awesome video and fun content.
Wow!!! we have got to see more of these videos from this guy! that was amazing, love these long vids also!!!
That was very fun to watch. Such a beautiful set. Great job getting it working again. I love these old TV sets and I really appreciate people who take the time getting them back to live an maintaining them. Those old Soviet Sets where great TVs and very beautiful. I especially love the design of the Raduga 706 (Радуга).One of the most beautiful sets ever in my opinion. Sadly due to a construction flaw many of them burned down and they are quite rare today.
His English is excellent! Looking forward to seeing more of his work!
This is really entertaining to watch. Thanx
Great video as always. That guy speaks English very well and is an inspiration! Thanks...
This is good stuff, this guy has every reason to be proud of himself and his work bringing this Cold War classic back to life. The kitty is an added bonus as well!
Hi! This was a really great video! I really like his attention to detail! I'm always impressed with the high quality of this soviet electronics! Their capacitors are very high quality. Thank you again! By the way the cat video did pop! Lol
many thanks shango
I watched the whole thing in several breaks. Nice fix. Maybe the reason he didn't hear anything on FM is because that TV only picks up the OIRT band?
Beautiful video and also beautiful uidea to host a video from another channel. At least this way we learn about other very good channels, which otherwise UA-cam will never let us know about.
Also, check out that Commodore PET!
This is also were i learnt how to work on tube tvs....there are a bunch of channels but none seems to go in depth with diagnosing stuff as this one...i still remember not knowing what a damper or horizontal output tube did... and when i was fixing my first tv, a "nordmende diplomat 58" with around 20 tubes or so, i wouldnt even know how to connect a signal to it or what type of modulator to buy...now i am very efficient at fixing them despite the german sets being way different than the american ones, i learnt all the basics from here...so thank you for that, man..
I like this guy and if he's reading this do yourself a favor and get over your fear of driving and get your license while you're still young...
Годно! Good job! Cat 3D TV !
In America you go to party. In Russia party find you.
Do you mean the uniparty in Washington DC?
Enjoyed watching.
I'm only a few minutes in and i can already tell this is going to be great. 👍
A very nice restoration well done.
