Thanks for the mention right back Mr. Shango!
I like real. I like crass. unrefined, unfiltered, offensive.
Thats the spice of life. its how real people are. lol
Thats the whole reason i subbed
@Icky Icky Batang ... I'm with you!
Just add a capacitor it will refine the crass. 🤣
"In a recent study, more doctors prefer the unfiltered smoothness of Shango066 radio repair."
“…. We’re gonna do it the wrong way.” That’s why I love your channel, Shango066!
And really, nothing he does is wrong. The customer just wanted a repair, not a restoration, and that's exactly what she got. :)
@@kd5byb Yeah, I hear you... But that yellowed plastic is just driving me crazy!
@@tarstarkusz Easy fix. Remove the plastic bezel, put it in a soup bowl, pour in hydrogen peroxide 3% (regular drug store concentration) until it completely covers the bezel. And, if you happen to have a UV light bulb handy, put it into a desk lamp, and place the desk lamp right next to the bowl, and shine the lamp directly down onto the bowl with the bezel in it. Leave it like that overnight. It'll come out sparkling clear the next morning, like factory new...no more yellow.
@@Trev0r98 You mean retrobrite it. I don't know if anyone has had success retrobrighting clear acrylic. It is trivially easy to just make a new lens too.
@@tarstarkusz It works on acrylic, polystyrene, polycarbonate, urethane and vinyl. I know because I've tried them all, and it works. All take about the same amount of time to "de-yellow" and become clear again.
Hi Shango, unrefined, unfiltered, offensive - love it. Would not have it any other way. Cheers
I think the static sounds better than most of the garbage that plays on the radio nowadays.
Accurate
Unless it’s classical, jazz or oldies. Yep
@@nobodynothingberg4886 I absolutely agree, I have 2 oldies stations around me. Good stations
You are a man after my own heart. I get irritated at the "stupid" also. You know that some of the people saying the "stupid" don't even believe it themselves.
Doing the bare minimum and bodging things is more educational than doing things properly, change my mind
For me, it was the other way around-I started with you and then found Mr. Carlson-and now I follow both!
He is very smart and does good work but there is something about him that gets on my nerves.
@@equid0x Same here!
"The more I know, the more I understand that I know nothing." and "I only know that I know nothing, but others do not know this either."
Socrates.
i've been watching for 4 years and still don't really know anything about tv's.
@@Stoneforth It's like getting your bearings in the city .. With its districts, quarters, houses and streets.
Shango is like an archaeologist who excavated and restores and revives an ancient city from its original appearance.
If that Philco could talk "GOD! Is this what's on the radio nowadays? Don't change my capacitors! Put me away in a attic away from the craziness!"
2:22 Whenever you mentioned that I always thought "oh, loctal tubes can't be THAT bad!
Nope, they're _pretty bad._ Really enjoy how the tubes don't go in even if you already aligned the key. It's like it magically shifts itself out of alignment...
Watching your channel gave me to courage to try and repair my 1942 Crosley 26BB I’ve been a technician for many years and got hurt by several tube devices by not knowing what to check and general ignorance of how tubes worked. I’d given up ever trying again. I bought all new capacitors and spent a few hours replacing them - fired it up and it worked!
Radios are not hard and there are so many radio repair restoration channels that if you are willing to spend a few hours watching videos you should have the basics down
KABC (AM), a radio station on 790 kHz licensed to Los Angeles, California, United States, which held the call sign KECA from 1929 to 1954
KLOS, an FM radio station on 95.5 MHz licensed to Los Angeles, California, United States, which held the call sign KECA-FM from 1947 to 1954
KABC-TV, a television station on channel 7 licensed to Los Angeles, California, United States, which held the call sign KECA-TV from 1949 to 1954
You know the cap is bad when you replace it with a 10 ohm resistor and the set works better.
Shango you're a legend in my opinion. Been a fan for a couple years. Keep up the good work.
I learn a lot from Shango and Mr Carlson. Mostly Ive learned I cant afford anything.
"let's see if I can find a decent oscilloscope on craigslist. Oh. Oh no."
I can't watch Carlson. He is such a sperg.
That bug zapper was more satisfying than anything broadcast over the radio these days. They dial up the gloom on your commute to work and keep it dialed up to 11 all day. Yet they wonder why ad revenue is down.
I have to be in the mood to watch Mr. Carlson. Watching him is like watching a college telecourse on electronics. Shango has bizarre comedy and takes you on field trips to abandoned desert towns. Desert towns sound weird, but I dig the vibe. At any rate, you probably won't fall asleep. Too many exploding TVs for one thing.
Mr. Carlson doesn't like how it was designed next thing you know he has engineered and manufactured a new board or part like it came from the factory.
Mr. Carlson is fantastic, but yeah, I really have to be in the mood.
And unless you are concerned as to the molecular structure and ionization state of chassis corrosion samples he can be a bit much. But God bless him.
Interesting channel. This "wrong way" approach has brought back some memories. My dad served as a Navy Chief radio operator, and technican at Guantanamo during WW2. With his encouragement, during the mid to late 60' I learned how to take his own radios apart for study. But unfortunately, being distracted by youth, I was unable to learn what I needed to put them back together again, and make them work until high school in the early 70's.
I did the same thing. Used to rummage through the city dump in the 60's before they decided it was dangerous and locked them up. I would grab every radio I could find and usually tear them apart, if they didn't run with an easy fix. I used to take components apart, I enjoyed the old wax caps with their layers of wax paper and foil.
He managed to film 20 videos , Just in case he will knockned out again by the virus.....this man deserves a statue for his commitment and for the respect to his viewers
I didn’t know you had Covid a while back and I’m glad you pulled through. Also sorry to hear about your friends with the virus. Been watching your videos for several years and I love your style of diagnosis and your crass comments. To loose your channel would be a huge loss in the community. Hope we can get through this crap.
Covid probably didn't know what hit it when it reached the Shango residence, like a wayward Indian telemarket-scammer-quirkledinger.
@@MattExzy Rumor says it spent most of the time sobbing in the corner with its thumb in its mouth.
Saw Mr Carlson's Lab today where he mentioned you Shango! What a guy! See, we do like watching you and he . Different ways but entertaining:) Howdy from El PASO!
Some of those restoration videos are so fake it makes me sick. Typically people from Asia/Indonesia region. They bury the item in mud and "restore it".
That's why I love channels like this one so technical love it!
"high speed grinder and gold plated straw", I'm dead.
I like that you are irreverent, unpolished, un-politically correct and speak your mind! Couching what you say just to keep from offending people is just another way of lying. As the song says “you’ve got to stand for something or you will fall for anything”.
how trite. Making fun of black people and spouting COVID-denying BS is what I'm irritated by. I'm still watching his channel, but I'll speak my mind, too! Does that offend you?
@@hmbpnz Offended? lol, no. Just proves your own weakness. When we lose the ability to laugh at ourselves then we have lost everything. Good luck to you.
@@seanobrien7169 I wouldn't say it was a weakness, just making an observation.
Philco was the top selling brand for many years during radio's golden years.
Early into the TV technology.
I think that Planet capacitor would make a great energy drink...stored electrons and all the pcbs I could ever want for a great boost to my libido. Great vid Shango, you're one of the few that make me grin like a kook.
When you stop listening to the news, you forget how stupid it is.
I am so glad I don't have a tv or radio in my house. I have seen the effect they have had on my neighbours these last 2 years.. I'm still the same.. just angrier
this is the only place I accidentally hear the mainstream propaganda news. it's painful to listen to
Same here. You will live a healthier life by not consuming msm.
Now its going again, the owner can continue on and restore the cabinet and maybe replace a few parts as needed. Well done. Sentimental value restored!
Thanks to Mr. Carlson for recommending this channel. New subscriber here.
My dad's uncle had that model set, he ran it 24-7 as far back as I can remember. He lived in a tiny 2 room home atop a hill on the poor side of town, great guy though, since my grandfather, (his brother) died before I was born I sort of adopted him as a grand father. Used to walk to his home twice a day, empty his piss pot, carried out the ashes from his coal stove and brought in pails of chunk coal for his heating and cooking needs. He has been gone now since 1969 when his appendix burst.
Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies. It's creepy how it seems to be more of a documentary than a comedy.
Carson, Shango, eevblog are all great eye openers for knowledge/wisdom past and present.
Three videos this week to catch up on damn
Love ya brother. You've taught me a lot about troubleshooting stuff and your commentary is great. Thanks for all you do.
Keep on truckin'
I really enjoy Mr. Carlson's Lab and Shango. I have learned a ton from both and they are both great teachers in their own styles
You and Carlson are the best radio/tv channels on youtube hands down. So many other channels are either lets just shotgun replace everything and hope it works or try and find the problem but dont really know what im doing. This channel is great, it is very real world and how somebody in the 60s would have come out and diagnosed / fixed your not so vintage tv or radio without it costing the earth. Carlsons repairs are much more like that my mechanics guy, what if money was no object and how can we make it work better than when it was new. Love to watch both styles of work as they are equally as fascinating to me. Oh and finally no other channel on youtube in any category has quite as unique phrases and expressions as here, i call them shangoisims.
I've always thought wholesale cap replacement is a retarded approach unless you're doing a full restore or don't know what you're doing. No reason to replace working parts unless they are a well known failure like the bumblebee caps or the old japanese caps that are nearly always bad. I worked in a repair shop in the 90s and we never took the approach of changing everything on the board... That's just silly. Nobody gets a bad wheel bearing or drive shaft on a car and changes all of them on every wheel "just because."
I agree, the downside of fixing radios is what pours out of the speakers today in the way of talk.. The propaganda. It's offensive to the senses. I like to listen to youtube videos at 2 x speed, so I find your voice rate and clarity absolutely perfect.
No kidding. I used to watch Carlson pour in hours of love and repetition and at the end of the project he has an AM radio. Maybe they're more useful in Canada than California. Maybe not.
Back in January here in the TN/GA area, during the Georgia runoff, the political propaganda mouthpieces where in full gear as well, i mean if you heard the election adverts that were being play, most of them where just the two parties scapegoating and gaslighting one another, especially over Covid, nothing nice or encouraging is said anymore, some of the ads were also done by private businesses, rather then the politicians themselves, it got so irritating that i ether turned off the radio, or change it to an AM station away from the GA broader, such as WSM, which is only two hours down the road from me in south half of Nashville. anyways, there are two FM stations i listen to here, used to be three with this 80's/90s station, but the more i got hearing about it, it was just them favoring or repeating songs every two hours, mostly between Bette Midler's Wind beneath my wings, and Mariah Carey's Fantasy. this irritating issue goes back to what radiotvphononut mention about radio stations nowadays, being so automated, that there not a whole lot of diversity in the selection anymore.
I too live in the Los Angeles area and Have one of those Philco 225's. It even has the KFI and KNX labels like this one. When recapping I also found the inside of the chassis to be a nightmare. I also changed the 35A5 with a 50A5 because it had grid emissions. Great resurrection! I've learned so much from you!
Came over from Carlson's. Subscribed!
I have to tell you, I absolutely love your channel and have learned a LOT from watching the videos on it. I really appreciate how you go out of your way to provide great content for us fellow vintage electronic hobbyists PLEASE take good care of yourself and don't get sick as a world with out Shango066 would be a very dull one! Crazy times we live in right now!
Back in the day, electronics repair folks often gave the customer the option of fully fixing and overhauling something, or just doing what it took to get something going again. It was kinda nice. Sometimes it helped people on a budget, and sometimes something just wasn't worth the whole makeover...
There’s are several ways to accomplish repairs . The right way , the wrong way , and the way I do it !
Glad to see you're healthy and doing well shango , been subscribed for a few years now and watch and enjoy ever newy video . I still think you deserve many more views and subscribers .
Sell those leaky caps to audiophiles. They gonna be ecstatic with such stuff.
The sound of your electronics cremating themselves! Audiophiles choice!
Well, those paper wax capacitors can be restored, there are certain methods used by folks who want to keep 30's/40's radios all original.
@@Pawelr98 The only thing I can think of is to gut a wax capacitor and insert a new cap inside the old one, but that just seem like time wasting denial. If the overall look of the inside of a radio that was never meant to be viewed is that important to you, I suppose. One of the benefits of just using the new, smaller caps is that they provide better air flow for what was essentially an over packed rat's nest of components.
@@robertgaines-tulsa no, they just "open" the ends of the wax capacitor and boil them in wax, which removes most of the stuff that caused them to leak DC current. There are even guides out there, some 90+ years old capacitors could get restored to a point where leakage was (almost) nonexistent.
@@Pawelr98 i'd rather restuff them if the radio is worth the trouble and is a nice specimen...no willing to risk cremation of an expensive output tube over a 10 cents cap
I can never look at a radio (or a marlboro ad) the same way again because of Shango. He is an inspiration. Much love for that smashed green ge clock radio (subbed!), the Panasonic an-14, Junost Tv and 'coprophiliacs delight' (lol) Philco-Ford color tv they were all excellent seen each more than once. Thank you for all that you have done. Honestly your banter about commercials, they way you diagnose, and simple thrill of solving a problem got me off watching modern tv completely, learning something and enjoying it. Crackle Pony Master Charge!
This video is *dynamite*! Thanks again! Regarding to Idiocracy, that one should be mandatory to watch for every single human being on the globe.
But he didn't have one of the wax / paper "bombs" explode in this video when the radio got full power applied with the series light bulb bypassed.
Thanks so much for the update, Shango.
Keep well. You are doing the same as me, relying on your own immune system, taking vitamins, and eating well.
From your own data, it looks like the 'clinical trial' injection, has not lived up to the promise, and who knows what problems might show up down the road.
here in the uk they are now trying coercion bribary and you could win £5k tactics for those who choose not to take part in their seriously flawed drugs trials. my daughter has had both injections yet she is in isolation due to her getting covid at work doesn't fill you with confidence does it, like you shango and many others i'm going to take my chances as i have no faith in what they are trying to push and the way they are pushing. good health.
@@dbrown51967 America has been doing that a while. They call them "lotteries" where you can "win" some amount of money and you enter by taking the shot. Unfortunately, you are a lot more likely to win blood clots and strokes than any money.
@@tarstarkusz Even more crazy, I heard on the radio there were some states offering "Joints for jabs"!! Is this for real??? How about a pack of cigarettes as a prize for being part of the clinical trial ??
@@LakeNipissing I haven't heard that one. But pot is not legal for recreation in my state.
Vitamins eh? So a scam ;)
The only time I hear propaganda is when you tune into it. I hate the news stations. Oldies is good, anything but news. I don’t listen or watch any media. But I enjoy this channel. You want to bet they save Gavin Newsome some how?
Be well, Shango. I would put some faith in your natural immunity. The gloves too!
Never, ever, ever change Shango!
I had something in mid Jan last year as well, it was bad with a lot of coughing - but that was before CV was supposed to be here.
Did you know the Flintstones smoked Winston in a commercial back in the 50's??? Throw that into another video with crass & sass!!!
Great work on the Philco. Yes repair the little RCA.
KABC (AM), a radio station on 790 kHz licensed to Los Angeles, California, United States, which held the call sign KECA from 1929 to 1954
Caught the coof around the same time you did in 2020 and agree the best chance of survival is your own immune system. I like you and Carlson, The Guitologist, and radiotvphononut.
Default. If you get the rabies or tetanus your natural inmune system will be worthles. Get a pistol to end your agony.
@@feynman6625 What a stupid reply.
19:13 one of the most effective ad campaigns in history unfortunately and i love your videos by the way i watch them all.
thank you for sharing my man! I got to know your channel through Mr Carlson's lab. He is a real master of his craft. I got hooked with you man. for a minute I thought you were some guy that is called mr M. from abandoned and forgotten places. you have very similar voices. I like both channels thank you for all you do
Thank you for what you take the time to post and in your personality too. Very enjoyable, very educational.
you are one of the best on youtube that repairs old radios and tv sets. you are my favorite repairman
MmmmmmHhhmmmmm… Congratulations on Mr. Carlson’s shout out!!! Long time subscriber, new Patreon donor. Great video! Always informative and the entertainment never, ever, ever, ever disappoints!!!
Love the videos .....and agree with your ideas! I have great respect for anyone that understands completely how angry pixies make sound and visual photos transmit and what the perimeters of the current/voltage need to be to do so.Thanks!
Nice patch up job. I love your rants, and my sympathies to your friends.
I wanted a green zenith owleyes clock radio so I finally found one. Got it home changed a few parts to get it working and the first thing that came on was a Biden speech. I can't imagine being asleep for 30 or 40 years and waking up to something like that.
Wow! A great way to start Sunday with a Shango066 video. I was catching up on your mine videos last night until 2AM. Stay crass, unrefined, unfiltered and offensive. I love it! Stay safe! I've got a large amount of radios to the Huntsville Hamfest next weekend and kinda worried about catching the virus.
Always nice to see a radio pop up in it's hometown. Never left LA since new. Not a fan of loktal tubes myself... Nice of Mr. Carlson to give ya a shoutout last week. Be safe.
I'm here because of crass, unrefined, unfiltered and offensive repairs and commentary. You have my sympathy for the constant propaganda in your area. Looking forward to those transistor radios.
Omg I freaking loved the doctors smoke camel bit you cut in. Some of your best work yet. Haha
I have been watching your channel for over 10 years no one has the cool style of making repairs with a sense of humor and lots of hands on problem solving and natural antibodies are your best bet stay healthy shango066 .
Come for the repairs. Stay for the attitude.
And all that without any mandates.
Yay biased opinions!
Yep idiocracy is becoming real ! People's i.qs are going into the toilet! Lol
"Water... you mean like in the toilet!?"
Yeah we got idiots who use religion making policies and idiots thinking a business man loves them. Then the other side is well, stupid. But neither side can negotiate, always right means always wrong.
Very classy radio 📻. Same year my stepmother was born. Your friend, Jeff.
I found your channel from Mr C's name drop , and have enjoyed watching you since 😊
That audio output tube is probably damaged, but not worth scaring up a locktal to replace it. Great video Shang, and your commentary is wonderful. Nice and pithy, just like I like it!
I feel sorry for you sir! There's nothing there but propaganda radio there it's sad! Thanks for the shout out on my Geiger counter comment.
I've had covid for the last 10 days....love the feeling of hacking up a lung and sleeping for 12 hours a day. I don't even listen to the news anymore---it's too depressing, and it makes me angry
Sounds like it's not Covid. I took someone to the ICU with Covid who was put on a vent and he was out in about 4 days. He caught MRSA Pneumonia from the ventilator and went back in a week later for 7 days and had to be given pure oxygen with a face mask. The doc said he was over the Covid for the second round and the pneumonia was worse.
Good Sunday Morning Shango! Love your videos Sir! KECA radio was what became KABC 790. KECA was owned by Earle C. Anthony thus the calls KECA. They also were the original calls for KABC ABC 7 in Los Angles.
He also started KFI radio 640 and KFI TV ch 9 which was Los Angles’s original NBC affiliate. NBC pulled the affiliation from ch 9 and he I think took the station off the air due to NBC putting ch 4 on. The frequency remained vacant until KHJ TV came on under RKO General along with the AM 930 and later KHJ-FM 101.1 now KRTH.
Channel 9 is of course now CBS owned KCAL-Television.
By the way I got very sick in February of 2020 as well and probably had this COVID thing and I will not get the Jab!
A friend of mine my age got the shot and passed away a week after getting it. Im never getting over that.
Keep up the great work! Very much appreciated!
So Mr Carlson loves you - you’ve made it! Next stop mainstream.
Let's ignore mainstream and just do internet !
Mainstream is for the 'unaware' people !
Mr. Carlson = professor
Shango066 = mad scientist
It's the electronics version of Felix and Oscar
Two great tastes that taste great together!
More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette! THAT is hilarious! Good find.
Like the one you hear on a radio show with the “Camel Caravan” with Vaughn Monroe, “Abbott & Costello” with the famous “Who’s On First” skit, and “Richard Diamond, Private Detective”.
Fred and Barney smoke Rothmans
I found a tall case Philco 1941-280 by the road a couple years ago with no tubes. Inspired by this channel and others I plan to get it running again.
I’ve been called a bigot all my life for being Southern. I guess now, the rest of the country knows how it feels. Ironically, one of my ancestors actually fought for the Union, and nearly died. Don’t judge a book by its cover…
In 1941 station KECA was on 790 kHz out of Los Angeles and was named after LA broadcasting pioneer Earle C. Anthony
who owned it along with KFI. In 1944 it was sold to ABC broadcasting and became KABC.
Your political comments are so refreshing; coming from a someone in LA, like yourself, makes them even more so!
I caught the mention on Mr. Carlson last video. Thought the shout out was pretty cool. You two are polar opposites in many ways, each way has its advantages and disadvantages, however the results are the same. I like the tech side, and I like the hands on real world no BS approach as well. Both of you guys (and RTPN) have given me a great education in the last few years and can't thank you enough.
4:32 Can't wait for the geiger counter radium clock dail video now LMFAO :)
I too have stuck my metal screwdriver into a powered-on radio. There are a number of arc spots on it where I grounded high voltage! I have learned a way to avoid shocking myself. You need to put some heat shrink tubing on the metal shaft right up to the end to avoid destroying all your good work! However, this is a really good video of the techniques you apply to get a radio going again. Nice job!
Shango, you are the reason I got into the hobby. I've got a Firestone 7427 and an old GE All American 5 here in my office. I started by buying some cheap chinese test equipment, then found and repaired a Heathkit Tube tester, a Heathkit signal tracer, an Eico Cap tester and an Eico signal generator, and an old B&K scope for my bench. I figure if I want it, I need to know what it does and how it works. Only then did I start on radios. I've learned alot watching your channel over the years. BTW, if I can ever figure out how to get in touch, I have hundreds of Compactrons to send you, as I never plan on repairing TVs.
There is nothing offensive about truth.
KOB, here in Albuquerque, will turn 100 years old in April 2022. They have had a number of format changes since, but since the 1980s they have been a conservative talk station.
I am sorry to hear about your friends. I had alpha twice (2019, 2020) and delta (2021) once. Just keep living your life and if you get it, treat the symptoms asap. Decongestants are seriously important with covid. Keep it from moving into your lungs, keeps you out of the hospital. Good luck!
and first of all, don't take medical advice from random internet comments
@@donsurlylyte or irrelevant UA-cam hosts.
@@thomasandrews9355 Or politicians. "We are the government and we're here to help." Yeah, right.
do you have an immune system at all?..
Man. I love your repair videos.
I have a different Philco that uses the same Loktal rectifier. Couldn’t find one in the stash so I did something similar. Used a busted Loktal tube base and an octal socket to make a converter to use the common 35Z5. (I used insulation though)
Shango does not disappoint. Mr. Carlson, thanks for the referral.
I started with Mr Carlson who gave me the bug so now I have a bunch of ‘projects’ -some of you know how that goes. I like both channels but I do give Kudos for Mr Carlson being open to this channel even though it’s quite different. I am worried about Shango may be not using an isolation transformer?? - not clear from the vid. I know I am ham fisted enough that I need all the barriers I can get
Shango066: Come for the repairs, stay for the rants!
That topical radio content is really starting to make me feel like mandating my work boot up someone's back passage.
Hell we don't need to worry about terrorist attacks, we are terrorizing ourselves
Yep. America lost on 9-11-01 and the sad part is we didn't lose to anyone but ourselves.
