    Wow, this house is distilled essence of old.

    I cannot believe this video. All I can think when I se that house is me as a kid watching Tom and Jerry on the TV, of course, the house is similar to the setting of the cartoon. The TV is a thing of beauty.
    Something I would like to point out is that the thing about glass flowing over time is just a misconception. Glass is not a thick liquid, but an amorphous solid, and the variable thickness of glass panes just comes from how it was made. Leaded glass window makers would usually place the thicker side downwards, I cannot remember why they did that though.
    If glass was indeed a very thick liquid, and the panes of this house got thicker at the bottom due to gravity, then the same effect would be very noticeable for things like old lightbulbs or vacuum tubes collapsing on their vacuum.

    Beautiful old home. Someone, several someone's took great care of that home. I, too, wish I could own an old home like that. DRHR683 bought an older home with many of the furnishings. It's his radio, TV, and whatnot fun house. That Admiral TV looks great. God Bless.

    Man that house takes me back. The house on the farm where I lived till I was about 10 was built in 1910 by my Grandfather. It had that lath and plaster walls and ceiling, I remember laying in my bed looking at the ceiling and seeing shapes in the cracks that ran back and forth, and repairs in the plaster much as you do when you lay in the grass and look at the clouds to see shapes and animals. Man I remember doing that as well, there was a stream that ran through our pasture and stopped at the stock dam in the pasture. My sister and I used to go for walks in the pasture and up the tall hills on the farm, we would take breaks and lay in the grass watching the clouds and discuss what we could see in those shapes; this was back in the 1950's when the world was so very different and we felt so very free and lucky to be in America.

    Good Day,
    The House reminded Me of My Grandparents House on Dads side. They only replaced things that broke down, & their stuff basically never did!
    Even when I was a teen, I recall their TV was from 1965, a Floor model Zenith Colour set with a big "snap snap" 1st generation remote, & their Telephone, a 1930 something Northern Electric, & all ancient sturdy Furniture & the same Wall Lamps as that House.
    The front Door, I remember My Grandfather showing me the Lock; He said "it's jimmy proof" It had the set Buttons inside the side of the Door. All Brass.
    The TV; My Grandparents on Mothers side had "our version";
    It was made at the Factory in Port Credit. It had a Blonde Cabinet, Skirted, with Castors, & a Motorola 6x9 Loudspeaker.
    The Screen Frame said "Super Cascode". The Knobs were identical, & the Tuning one lit up what Channel You were on.
    The Chassis of Yours was identical in appearance & design, except they were Canadian manufacture.
    Another difference, is right in the centre under the Screen, was a small Aluminum Door, that pulled down revealing the Picture controls. That was where the "Admiral" name was stamped into.
    I recall the CRT# as "21ALP4" if memory is correct.
    They bought it in 1956, & used it Daily until 1965, when they bought a Philco to replace it. (I have the Philco today)
    They moved the Admiral into their Den and used it once in a while until 1973, when they built their Cottage, & took it there, where it was used during the Summers until 1978, & it sat in storage in an attic.
    My Brother bought it at the Estate sale after our Grandmother passed.
    He had intended to restore it, but lost interest.
    It's available if someone is interested.
    BTW it was only serviced once, & that was in 1973 when they took it to their Cottage.

    Nice tour of a well-preserved old house. As for the volume control affecting the picture that was common in some older sets, especially when the volume pot gets dirty; the sound output tube in that Admiral likely doubles as a series pass regulator, with the RF and IF stages getting their B+ off the cathode of the sound output. Leaky blocking caps would make the brightness pulsate when the volume knob is turned even slightly.

  • @ldchappell1
    @ldchappell1 9 років тому +1

    I love that house! It's eerily similar to an apartment I rented in San Francisco 25 years ago. Same room layout and windows. Built in 1926. Everything was original except the bathroom.

    Thank you, Shango. You brought back memories of my youth living in the country with my Grandparents in the 60's & 70's here in the Bootheel of Missouri. Most old houses were a lot like this one except they mostly used coal heat in the 60's & most changed to wood heat in the 70's.

    i live in an ex shipping owners house in the UK from 1890s. i still have the original leatherette wallpaper from 1900 in the hall. the height from hall to skylight which is continuous is 90 foot. we have all the original gas lights still, all the lovely mouldings, a fireplace in the cellar and coal hole. the entrance has very ornate tiles on floor and two original lead windows. unfortunately its a very cold house but cool in summer, its has 3 brick deep walls of engineering brick and an entrance for servants lol. i am not rich, i bought the in the 80s slump for peanuts and the woman who owned it was a tight arsed scotch woman so it escaped the 70s and 80s ripping out of original features. And as they tear down more and more my house becomes rarer and rarer.
    that house your in is fantastic, totally near museum quality.

  • @AstroSonic1967
    @AstroSonic1967 10 років тому +1

    My grandparents owned a home in Glendale that was built in 1923. Very similar light fixtures, fireplace and bathroom. Their home was mostly original and they kept it in excellent condition. Unfortunately my grandmother sold it in 1984. Two years later it was demolished to make way for a large condo project.

    Many thanks for sharing this adventure with us, darn interesting!! I, too would have had a difficult time leaving this residence. That Admiral set is almost identical to the set that my parents traded in for our 1965 Zenith with a 24MC32 chassis. Again, thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    I wish you'd make a short video showing how the TV turned out when it was done.
    If that was a two-story house, the closet with the high ceiling in the laundry room was likely a laundry shoot.
    The architecture looked more Craftsman style than Spanish to me.

    These Admiral sets were also popular in Australia ( made to Australian standards ) my family had one ( imperial 800 model ) from the early 1960's The only thing replaced that i know went wrong, was the horizontal O/P transformer and this was replaced in the house. The other thing that i can think of of was a mode fitted to the channel ' 0 ' biscuit. This set was used up until we got a color set.
    One thing that i do remember was a lot of the teck's of the day hated these set because of the printed cct boards, they were used to point to point wiring . Some of these set also had a radio gram built in that also had push pull o/p audio ( about 8 real watts ) .

  • @MutethatBozo

    The interior doors in that house look like Douglas fir, I don't know about the trim, but fir turns that same sort of burgundy colour with age. I don't know about the wiring being knob and tube, it looks like they may have used rigid conduit for running the wires, knob and tube usually involves individual wires running through porcelain tubes, knobs, and standoffs. The only way to know for sure is to open up a wall.

    wow, old old OLD OLD tv, looks like the one from the movie polterguist where carolanne gets sucked in through the screen after communicating with the voice coming out through the speaker lol. and yes those are electrolytics, i have an old short wave army band receiver that uses those, no it doesnt use vac tubes, but it does use those electroytics though, radio in mention is a trans oceanic shorwave band receiver that has 11 differant HF bands. one of the better ones i think, same year period though, it needs so many, only because the plate voltage for just one tube probably is not enough.

    Does that have the same flyback as my Firestone 13-G-54? I found one on EBay, it's a Stancor A-8230, looks exactly like mine and the horizontal output schematic in the original install instructions is the same. It's for the 700 series chassis, which my schematic says "700-96". Is this likely the right one?

    I have heard that aluminized picture tubes do not need ion traps. I understand that such broad statements usually don't apply to everything. I do know that ion trap use is based on electron gun design. Were there any aluminized tubes with straight guns? Can anybody expand on this topic?

      @shango066  6 років тому
