WOW, this is the exact TV I grew up with lmao. At one point in '85 or '86, something happened to the CRT and if it was off for too long, it would take damn near 3 hours until a picture showed up, though you could still hear audio. Funny thing is, after the 3 hour garbage was discovered, mom and dad left it on 24/7 for almost 14 years straight.
That Picture tube hoard is AMAZING. Probably the most I've seen pictured in one place. There were at least 3 different 21AXP22s...Those are treasures if good. The Hoffman branded AXP is count it's fellow survivors on one hand rare.
Here's something to think of about this set, it's 40 years old. 40 and there's still life in the CRT, the chassis is still working. That someone paid the better part of $500 for it in '82 I'd say they got their money's worth out of it. For ugly plastic and particle board and cheap electronics I wouldn't complain too much. As for that house, holy cow, all those old CRT's and especially the old low deflection ones and small roundtubes, what a score! Totally worth trashing some of your near dead ones to take in a bunch of those. Even if you won't use them it's very likely someone would gladly take them.
i have a 1965 valve/tube dual standard 405/625 (i'm in the uk) black n white tv that has an excellent emission crt, and it still works , plus a 1968 transistorised one also vgc, .. none have been recapped, the valve/tube one has had to have a new video detector diode fitted, thats it
@@andygozzo72 I have a Ferguson Courier III in the bedroom (BRC 1400 chassis) which sports a CRT with fantastic emission. The picture is lovely and bright and IMO displays a more crisp, punchy and dynamic picture on the 405-line sources than it does on 625. The Pye 48 is the same in that respect. I think the best 405 picture I've seen to date though might just be the Murphy V10A .. it looked great during restoration but does need the recap completing (signal stages) and the newly rewound LOPT fitted. This is single standard 405-line.
OK I mean this is pretty awesome, but who collects nothing but naked CRTs? If you're a vintage electronics enthusiast, you'll have tons of electronics, circuit boards and spare parts and stuff. If you're a vintage TV collector or repair person, you'll have stacks of old TVs and maybe some VCRs and spare parts and boxes full of remotes, but just naked CRTs with not even a single yoke in sight? WTF man? Simpson's crazy CAT lady just replaced the A with an R...
Those Quasars have a Capacitor near that heat sink the Vertical outputs are on in the Horizontal circuit that will dry up and cause the picture to be dark and smear from left to right side of picture.. Changed many out in the mid to late 80's. I think they got to hot and would fail- Was happy to see one of these ugly sets, sold them new. Thanks !
Quintessential any-year-in-the 1970s color console TV! Only update was the electronic tuner/channel display. The height of kitsch! I would use it, both as a stand for up to 50 inches of modern OLED, and to play my circa 1980 Atari and Mattel game consoles on, while the flat screen TV on top kept me appraised of the Ukraine situation. Thanks Shango for continuing to provide us something to periodically take our minds off the aforementioned crisis. Phono Nut seems to be laying low the last few weeks
More than likely the reason why the picture was "shrunk" vertically and the vertical hold control was diddled so much was because the original owners may have thought there was something wrong with the vertical deflection when the TV was showing 16:9 programming (because of the fact that 16:9 programming shows up "letterboxed" on a 4:3 TV) so they were trying to get the screen to "fill out" when there was letterboxed programming on the TV but then when 4:3 programming showed up on the TV screen they had to readjust the vertical. So with that in mind there probably wasn't actually anything wrong with the TV, just someone who didn't understand how modern ATSC programming worked on an older NTSC set.
This would be perfect in a hobby room. Nice blurry picture, after a beer who cares. And the cabinet is ideal for hiding funny herbs. If it pops one day it is not a to big loss.
Hey Shango. a friend and I were playing with a giegercounter and I had suggested seeing how much Xray radiation My 25" 1988 Zenith Custom Series TV put out and we found out in the process that the Red Phosphor is mildly Radioactive. but here's the Kicker Black matrix tubes put out a lot more Radiation than standard Shadow mask tubes because the Phosphor in arranged in straight lines with joining Black lines for a much Higher black level as well as much higher Resolution. rather than the standard grid style lay out of regular shadow masks. or even aperture grill
There is a type of hoarder that collects as many as he can of some hard to get item. He will never be able to use them all. If someone wants to buy one he will say something like "I have a roundy coming in soon, I need them". He never fixes the items, he never sells them, he just wants to have more and more of them. If something happens to him, the family sends everything to scrap. This may not be the case here. Often this happens with antique classic cars. They are stored outside until they rust away and they are not even good for parts.
I hope someone who likes old TVs buys the house and takes all the tubes and keep some and goes through them and donate some of the old ones to the museum used ones that are good fixing other TVs and throws away the ones that are no good

@@peterhaan9068 I could go on and on about cars that I can't believe ANYBODY went to the dealer and bought new !! Somebody actually parted their billfold and drove a new 77' Gremlin off the lot ???? YEP !! lol
I bought a regunned 14" black and white crt (70 degree deflection, 1950's era) back in 1978 with a very dark/blue cathode, still works well today with plenty of emission.
One thing I miss about analog is that if the signal fades, the picture would get snowy/fuzzy - but you'd still have a picture. Digital of course just goes to blocks and freezes. It's maddening trying to use an indoor antenna with digital.. analog could always just be 'good enough' and still work.
If you watch UA-cam in 480P, 30 FPS, you can get a good idea of how NTSC could look on an excellent signal. The only difference is that 480P is progressive and NTSC was interlaced. 30FPS = 60 fields/second.
@@MattExzy radio is the same way. Analog would just fade. Much like shortwave, AM, HF. FM was less forgiving but still worked on weak signals, within reason. All the digital now is “all or nothing”. It is frustrating in certain situations.
SD broadcasts looked a helluva lot better than how they show up here on YT after all that processing. Personally, I find digital compression artefacts more objectionable than noise in an analogue signal.

13:22 I had the same years ago, My TV wont switch on mate, its completely dead, The ON / Off switch must be broken, It needs a new one fitting, if I've been told that once, I've been told it a hundred times, I kid you not. I often used to tell the customer I would supply a replacement switch for free, because I kept a large stock of On / Off switches, the dam things were always going wrong, It would be very easy to fit themselves and save them the call out charge, As I recall, not one person ever took me up on my offer, A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Right at the top of Mount Stupid, but, as I'm sure you are aware, it takes all sorts to make the World go round (or switch the T.V. on :-) P.S. great UA-cam channel, keep it going my friend.
I hate how they went from all wood with envelopes simple styling to plastic monsters but still better then flat screens. Holly crap hope that guy saved as many of those CRTs as he could that where good
That "glaze" on everything doesn't look like nicotine, it looks more like soot from a fireplace or wood stove, which would go with the time period of this set, wood stoves became popular back then when oil and gas prices went up.

This is beautiful. It looks just like the one my great grandparents had when I was a kid. I have a lot of great memories of watching Wheel Of Fortune with my great grandma in the early 80s.
You had the date posted on the back. You panned over it twice. This TV is a POS. How I fixed these was covering the tuner and hitting them with a high-pressure hose. Hit it again with compressed air and let it dry for a week. Presto! works every time.
Hey Shango. Why did my tv buzz out of my tv speaker when anything white came on the screen. The more white, the more buzz. Especially white lettering. Tx.
Excellent work. Hopefully you can grab those pictures tubes from that house and stick them in a storage unit or something so you can completely fix all those tvs you have without fear of the picture tube being worn out!
I hope someone who likes working on old TVs buys the house and sorts through the tubes and keep some and sells them and throws away the ones that are no good
I brought my 1st color TV on my 1st paycheck in August 1981. It was Sanyo (Sears) 19" that last until 2017 when I trashed it and paid $60.00. for deposition fee. There is no repair or home service like the big screen floor model that popular during the 60 and 70 in America. The floor model TV similar to this one cost between $800.00-1000.00 in 1970 with home service contract that cost about $80.00 a year that consider $2.5K to day dollar value base on gold standard ($37.42 per ounce back in 1968.) Oh I forgot the moving cost for this size of TV to the shop is more than $100.00 plus service estimate fee plus actual cost that added up probably cost more than the set itself.
The mainboard is so small in comparison to the unit. Also that power supply/secondary board is askew, even though it appears to be bolted down. Strange
MatsuSHITa, lol. This chassis reminds me heavily of the Wells Gardner K4600 arcade monitor that is just a modified television chassis for use in arcade games to run at 15khz RGB. Especially with the screen control on the neckboard.
Oh boy indeed, how many rare/new/good CRTs did the guy trash before you got wind of the place? That really looked like it could be a major find considering nobody rebuilds them at the moment, were they mostly good/new or were they maybe stored for other reasons?
The cache of CRTs... wow!! The house is a deemed a hazardous materials site due to all of this, LOL !! Kind of like Rodalco's place. I have commented to Ray that when he dies, they are going to send the bomb squad to deal with his house, because nobody will touch anything inside with all the powered industrial meters and other equipment.
I worked at the Quasar factory service center in the 80s. You got to watch out on those where it smears to the right. Could be CRT or maybe not. There are caps that filter the B+ source feeding the CRT socket board that go bad and it will smear to the right just like that. Sometime the cap(s) are on the CRT socket board and sometimes on the chassis near the flyback. Scope the power source going to the CRT socket board for horizontal pulses in the DC. If that’s the case the caps are shot. I fixed a lot of them while working at Quasar.
In the 1980s electronics went down Hill 😮.... consoles became Garbage 🗑️... already went to partical board made cheap electronics... they went out of style 😮....Sony And Hitachi was in .....

Does the dumb content make you regret fixing the TVs?
You should crank up that sub brightness to get the maximum out of that dead CRT.
Nice to see you working on another 'racially sensitive' television!🤣
I hate it when they finger that vertical hole too much and it's all worn out.
Then it can't stop rolling over and over.
13:22 I had the same years ago, My TV wont switch on mate, its completely dead, The ON / Off switch must be broken, It needs a new one fitting, if I've been told that once, I've been told it a hundred times, I kid you not. I often used to tell the customer I would supply a replacement switch for free, because I kept a large stock of On / Off switches, the dam things were always going wrong, It would be very easy to fit themselves and save them the call out charge, As I recall, not one person ever took me up on my offer, A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Right at the top of Mount Stupid, but, as I'm sure you are aware, it takes all sorts to make the World go round (or switch the T.V. on :-) P.S. great UA-cam channel, keep it going my friend.
I hate how they went from all wood with envelopes simple styling to plastic monsters but still better then flat screens. Holly crap hope that guy saved as many of those CRTs as he could that where good
Yeah, that CRT is pretty much gone to TV heaven
That "glaze" on everything doesn't look like nicotine, it looks more like soot from a fireplace or wood stove, which would go with the time period of this set, wood stoves became popular back then when oil and gas prices went up.
Like nowadays.
I come for the tv I stay for the commentary and vertical hold glory hole lol
Shango, did you score any of those pic tubes???
As always, I love your commentary on the personal knob!!! Great vid Shango!
Indeed, in British English knob has a whole other meaning.
@@marcusdamberger PERSONAL KNOB... wasn't that a Depeche Mode song? 🤣
Every PAL-I telly in the UK needs a state of the art, new and improved, Personal Knob[tm] !
Get your PERSONAL KNOB know! Hurry while they last!
27:28 .. I miss Barney Miller. P.S. It is getting dumber every day, it seems. That tube collection at the end is INSANE. i hope they were saved... Definitely EOL that garbage skow of a Quasar set!
This is beautiful. It looks just like the one my great grandparents had when I was a kid. I have a lot of great memories of watching Wheel Of Fortune with my great grandma in the early 80s.
I did with my grandmother in the 80s 90s in menasha WI
You had the date posted on the back. You panned over it twice. This TV is a POS. How I fixed these was covering the tuner and hitting them with a high-pressure hose. Hit it again with compressed air and let it dry for a week. Presto! works every time.
He did note the date and mentioned how it was right in front of his face the whole time.
The view sounds stupid even when you can see them.
Hey Shango. Why did my tv buzz out of my tv speaker when anything white came on the screen. The more white, the more buzz. Especially white lettering. Tx.
If some wild kids got in that house and started smashing things It would have been a big mess.
is this ur house it haze i thenc 100 CRT
This week on CRT House...
Just think of all the eyeballs that once stared for hours at all those CRTs. Creepy.
that stash of tubes MUST be saved! give them to the early television museum !
mmmm flavor country
Excellent work. Hopefully you can grab those pictures tubes from that house and stick them in a storage unit or something so you can completely fix all those tvs you have without fear of the picture tube being worn out!
I hope someone who likes working on old TVs buys the house and sorts through the tubes and keep some and sells them and throws away the ones that are no good
i can't believe TWO different people held onto one of these disgusting chintzy beasts... but i respect them for it!
I brought my 1st color TV on my 1st paycheck in August 1981. It was Sanyo (Sears) 19" that last until 2017 when I trashed it and paid $60.00. for deposition fee. There is no repair or home service like the big screen floor model that popular during the 60 and 70 in America. The floor model TV similar to this one cost between $800.00-1000.00 in 1970 with home service contract that cost about $80.00 a year that consider $2.5K to day dollar value base on gold standard ($37.42 per ounce back in 1968.) Oh I forgot the moving cost for this size of TV to the shop is more than $100.00 plus service estimate fee plus actual cost that added up probably cost more than the set itself.
Remember “The Age of AccuColor”? …
Routing out the vertical hold port together. Now that made me laugh. 😂
The CRT's of that era of Panasonic/Quasar did not hold up at ALL.
The mainboard is so small in comparison to the unit. Also that power supply/secondary board is askew, even though it appears to be bolted down. Strange
Man, I love your humor! Keep it going! 😁😁😁
That's a lot of CRT's. LOL.
I remember sitting in front of one of those in my uncles house with the 70s wood furniture with clear plastic on it
I enjoy these awful looking TVs, could be a good TV for playing some old consoles on, maybe up to the N64 or something.
Just the sort of TV style that would go with my old plastic woodgrain Atari games console. Just perfect for playing ET.
33:36 Last I heard, 4300 W. 47th Street in Chicago was the home of Allied displays, which large displays for commercial and retail venues.
MatsuSHITa, lol. This chassis reminds me heavily of the Wells Gardner K4600 arcade monitor that is just a modified television chassis for use in arcade games to run at 15khz RGB. Especially with the screen control on the neckboard.
Oh boy indeed, how many rare/new/good CRTs did the guy trash before you got wind of the place? That really looked like it could be a major find considering nobody rebuilds them at the moment, were they mostly good/new or were they maybe stored for other reasons?
The cache of CRTs... wow!! The house is a deemed a hazardous materials site due to all of this, LOL !!
Kind of like Rodalco's place. I have commented to Ray that when he dies, they are going to send the bomb squad to deal with his house, because nobody will touch anything inside with all the powered industrial meters and other equipment.
I worked at the Quasar factory service center in the 80s. You got to watch out on those where it smears to the right. Could be CRT or maybe not. There are caps that filter the B+ source feeding the CRT socket board that go bad and it will smear to the right just like that. Sometime the cap(s) are on the CRT socket board and sometimes on the chassis near the flyback. Scope the power source going to the CRT socket board for horizontal pulses in the DC. If that’s the case the caps are shot. I fixed a lot of them while working at Quasar.
In the 1980s electronics went down Hill 😮.... consoles became Garbage 🗑️... already went to partical board made cheap electronics... they went out of style 😮....Sony And Hitachi was in ..... American brand Stuff was no more like they were....i do remember seeing these ugly sets ....i would say the same....Ugly 😭
I remember that famous iconic Works in the Door "Quasaaaar "!!! music bit, similar to the modern day KUDO.
28:15 The speakers sound good
Help me understand the CRT graveyard. I mean...who would have ever thought that someone would just be hoarding CRT's for no practical reason....
So it's not the old Quasar by Motorola?
Nope. Just a rebranded Panasonic. I believe Matsushita bought the Quasar brand around 1975.
