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.
Thanks for this video man! For us not living in the US it is a really cool traveling experience. Showing the road trip, the house, the pizza, and so on. All that made me feel part of it like if I was there with you. I agree, amazing house with everything in excellent condition even being like a 100 years old. Thanks again!
I hope you and Chris do another vid on that one, I'd like to see the repair on it. The house was great.....lots of old houses around, but not many that are so original.
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.
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.
Westinghouse stove that was made here in Mansfield Ohio. The Admiral TV was a good find I'm surprised there not there is not an old radio lurking somewhere in that house. I have a Bell&Howell reel to reel tape recorder with paper caps made like those.
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.
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 ) .
That sure looks like the same model of tv that my mom had when I was a toddler. I believe it was a hand-me-down from my grandparents, after they bought a Zenith console :)
my house is of the same vintage. although smaller it is a similar house. great tour. TV looks like all original, no mods or even many repairs. please be sure to do this one up good and post the progress, shango066, take this home and do it your self!
Super duper cool!! Pizza look nice...to bad my diet don't allow! And to think somebody will probably tear out the heart and soul of that house just to modernize it!
Very interesting channel you have here! :) I'm a huge fan of old TV and radio technology, specifically TV, and have stumbled across several of your videos. I would absolutely love to own a B&W TV like this someday, but sadly, I can never find them on Craigslist or Estate Sales in my area. I guess eBay is my only option.
I had one with the same chassis different cabinet style back in '68. I bought it used from a lady at work for $15. Needed a new audio output transformer and resistor in the vertical sync circuit. Wasn't a bad set.
What model of Pye? There is an Italian and a Polish web site that both have a lot of English brand service info for free. Unless it's a Canadian Pye, those are in the RCC manuals.
Me personally this is the best video he ever made, the house the tv christ and the footage of there and back! I think I watched this video like 40 times.
Great video! I am trying to find one myself! Could you post more closeups of the television itself particularily on the channel knobs as I am trying to see if it is the same model as the one that my great grandparents had? Thanks for sharing the video!
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.
new tv's use quam tuners that do not use vistigal sideband, yes, the transmissions might still be VSSB but, i do not think newer tv technology uses VSSB as their NTSB tuning method.i think they now use PAL now which is similar to NTSB but i could be wrong. im studying for my extra btw lol.
Wow, this house is nice. You're absolutely right. If yours is 1914 maybe it's time for a house tour at your place too? That would be awesome. Do you still have knob and tube in your house?
that TV set is very attractive. Not sure I would want an Admiral. I'm thinking RCA, Zenith or Motorola. from the late 50s to early 60s, and preferably an early color set. But I love the style on this one, very very pretty and I love the Mahogany cabinet. This tv set screams 50s!
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. "kc9cpx thirteen years in the making"
Ok, after one too many crossley video, thought I'd watch a program about something actually well made :o) Wow, that house is amazing, even my wife got interested in watching this :o) I love how Americans pronounce Aluminium as if it doesn't have a second 'i' ;o)
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?
But like I said they make a conversion kit for a point distributor that's smaller cap than that Her you got in the Hot Rod but and/or can buy one of those small cat distributors for like 60 bucks on Amazon which is the same thing you got except for a couple of smaller cap I think it uses the either a point style coil or the 90s style coil it bolts to the end like you can use these are 1 I've seen guys both don't even to the outside of the firewall and use the 90 style called the square 1
Just bought one of these... 18Y4ESA Run 3. On mine, the small transformer attached to the top edge of the chassis (just above the larger transformer - (audio output xformer?)) is smoking. I'm thinking the small transformer is a choke. Would you guys be willing to sell a copy of the schematic? Haven't be able to locate one online.
Would that have been a very middle class house in the 30's? (comment from England) the area now doesnt look very affluent? Will that house be sold as a renovation project at a low price to a young couple? thanks,
A question, in the US in 2012 no more analog signal color NTSC , so you'll need to connect it to a DVD device. Or am I wrong..? kisses from Stgo Chile Oct 2017
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?
All aluminized tubes used Straight guns and no ion trap. That's the point of aluminized Pearl and Marina New Jersey shy bladder gleam laser bore Kroger
I noticed what looks like an ion trap on the Admiral in this video, will an ion trap damage an aluminized tube? I would go ask Chris but he doesn't have any videos of the Admiral posted.
Aluminized tubes don't use ion traps there's no point in putting one on there if anything it's going to screw it up. They use a straight gun not an angled side firing gun
Wow, this house is distilled essence of old.

Cool TV and house! Thanks for sharing!
Shango66 is taking the piss outta

radiotvphononut LOL.
I hope you and Chris do another vid on that one, I'd like to see the repair on it. The house was great.....lots of old houses around, but not many that are so original.
We owned one of these sets used, when I was around 7 years old. Great memories :) Thank you Shango.
All the best.

hi bobby tectalabyss
we had this very TV Set when I was growing up we would watch gunsmoke, bonanza, Kojak, happy days and all those good ole movies..
What a house.... Thank you for showing me this and the vintage TV Set... Doug has a lot of vintage Sets
We had that same exact TV when I was a kid.
That's a beautiful house and an even more beautiful television.
Also, a quote for the rest of you:
"Wow! Look at that sink!"
~shango066
And from Pink Floyd, The Wall. "Oh wow! Look at that tub!"
Nice tour of a well-preserved old house.

Awesome house, I would not change a thing, except LED light bulbs in those fixtures.

Drawn tungsten lamps...this is a 1920s house.

Nice big TV, and House too!
We had all kinds of similar tv sets when I was a kid.
Pizza looks yummy.
Love your videos, Shango066, new and old. Your someone I would like to meet, your Brilliant!!
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.

Looks very similar to the house I used to rent in Tacoma. Same era, similar design. Very similar.
Brilliant video and timecapsule,
The Earliest TV I remember was a 1950s (I think 56 or 57) Magnavox, big like this. My family had it until 1975.
my house is of the same vintage. although smaller it is a similar house. great tour. TV looks like all original, no mods or even many repairs. please be sure to do this one up good and post the progress, shango066, take this home and do it your self!
I was one year old when this was manufactured.
What an incredible house! And the Admiral TV.. just absolutely wonderful! Wonder who finally bought the house.
That's a great video, a lot of effort, the house is also beautiful.
I have one of these. Belonged to my great grand parents. Though the picture tube has lost its seal. I some day would like to find a replacement.
Super duper cool!! Pizza look nice...to bad my diet don't allow! And to think somebody will probably tear out the heart and soul of that house just to modernize it!
That pizza looked awsome! hate to watch this hungry :)
Very interesting channel you have here! :) I'm a huge fan of old TV and radio technology, specifically TV, and have stumbled across several of your videos.

I have a similar chassis in blonde! Got it from original owner complete with wired remote and manuals.
My family lived with one just like this set until we got a Muntz, we had a little Philco before the Admiral.
Nice find! You should have connected up an antenna, I bet it would have worked!
My family had one of those when i was a kid.
Enjoyed the road trip.
An excellent FLASHBACK!!!
*Plays Chef Excellencd Jingle*
five shower heads. it kind of reminds me of the movie Mommy dearest lol
Silkwood :/
Great house, though i primarily like 60s and newer. And unfortunately my grandpa had his aluminum dietary supplements.
Excellent video, enjoyed it.
What model of Pye? There is an Italian and a Polish web site that both have a lot of English brand service info for free. Unless it's a Canadian Pye, those are in the RCC manuals.
Wow, that is the old tv
When i was a kid
Me personally this is the best video he ever made, the house the tv christ and the footage of there and back! I think I watched this video like 40 times.
Great video! I am trying to find one myself! Could you post more closeups of the television itself particularily on the channel knobs as I am trying to see if it is the same model as the one that my great grandparents had? Thanks for sharing the video!
Thomas was a manufacturer of CRT's. I'm sure they did OEM for many brands. I doubt they are still in business due to the damand for flat screens.
looks like our muntz tv dark wood grain, it had larger tan handles, tuner & volume
LOOK AT THAT A COOKED PIZZA!!
If glass flows over time, why don't vacuum tubs collapse in on them itself. The negative pressure in the glass envelope is greater than gravitate.
Cuz glass doesn't flow over time
TV looks good!!
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.
thank you
Old time wall sconces .. cool .. just put a couple in my house …
6 months after this video shoot, Shango06 was still roaming & discovering new things on This Old House.
That whole house is cool
Thats a nice old house. i love it you cant find this houses in the netherlands
had exact tv when i was growing up
new tv's use quam tuners that do not use vistigal sideband, yes, the transmissions might still be VSSB but, i do not think newer tv technology uses VSSB as their NTSB tuning method.i think they now use PAL now which is similar to NTSB but i could be wrong. im studying for my extra btw lol.
Wow, this house is nice. You're absolutely right. If yours is 1914 maybe it's time for a house tour at your place too? That would be awesome. Do you still have knob and tube in your house?
Shango wpold NEVER do that...
Like they say......”location, location, location!”
that TV set is very attractive. Not sure I would want an Admiral. I'm thinking RCA, Zenith or Motorola. from the late 50s to early 60s, and preferably an early color set. But I love the style on this one, very very pretty and I love the Mahogany cabinet. This tv set screams 50s!
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. "kc9cpx thirteen years in the making"
My dream house
Shango do more vids like this they're epic.
Houses like that are common place in Michigan
Amazing...
Lord, that is a beautiful house man. I hope they kept it original. Was it in a good neighborhood?
Super vid, much enjoyed!
Ok, after one too many crossley video, thought I'd watch a program about something actually well made :o) Wow, that house is amazing, even my wife got interested in watching this :o) I love how Americans pronounce Aluminium as if it doesn't have a second 'i' ;o)
RetroGamerVX I love how Brits say "garage" like "gare-ege." or schedule like shed-u-el. It's sked ule. lol. Oh well.
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?
Um modelo muito bonito
i swear to god my house still gt everything u see in this house
Don't forget..that house was probably loaded with asbestos and lead paint too!
But like I said they make a conversion kit for a point distributor that's smaller cap than that Her you got in the Hot Rod but and/or can buy one of those small cat distributors for like 60 bucks on Amazon which is the same thing you got except for a couple of smaller cap I think it uses the either a point style coil or the 90s style coil it bolts to the end like you can use these are 1 I've seen guys both don't even to the outside of the firewall and use the 90 style called the square 1
Thyat is awesome!
Just bought one of these... 18Y4ESA Run 3. On mine, the small transformer attached to the top edge of the chassis (just above the larger transformer - (audio output xformer?)) is smoking. I'm thinking the small transformer is a choke. Would you guys be willing to sell a copy of the schematic? Haven't be able to locate one online.
So did you make an offer on the house?
Would that have been a very middle class house in the 30's? (comment from England) the area now doesnt look very affluent?
Will that house be sold as a renovation project at a low price to a young couple? thanks,
Do you still repair classic tv's, as i love your classic tube reterations
He's probably in the process of making a video of a classic tv now.
LOVED IT

You can use a converter box to use the digital signal on an analog TV.

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?
All aluminized tubes used Straight guns and no ion trap. That's the point of aluminized Pearl and Marina New Jersey shy bladder gleam laser bore Kroger

Aluminized tubes don't use ion traps there's no point in putting one on there if anything it's going to screw it up. They use a straight gun not an angled side firing gun
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate your time.
Are you going to fix it?
Cancel that schematic request. Just found and bought one on eBay.
