Update: I have been made aware this is a Rediffusion mk4 Chassis and apparently it is worth saving.I will try and chase a new Flyback transformer,Tripler and pop a future video up.
I wasn’t that keen on powering it up especially after how long it had been in storage then the excitement when it powered up was great but obviously not for long..🤣
I been waiting few years to see that lol should sold it to me back then lol i remember as a kid tv repair man coming to the house he once told me i had to stand back when he removed the back of tv as all the dead cowboys and indians might fall out hahahaha
Yeah i should have sold you it and let you have all the stink..😂..Tbh it should repair quite easily so I may give it a go,although i could also make a nice Tesla Coil,no joke…😂

Do you remember the blind TV engineer in middlesbrough Neil
I have no idea…is this for real?
@@gtretroworld yeah for real
@@andyparker7658 Scary…does the local engineer who played with this one ring a bell?
@@gtretroworld yeah I've heard of him
universal tripler and that's it fixed with a Focus pot
Out of interest are those universal tripler’s ok as they seem very cheap?
@@gtretroworld if you know how to wire it up it's a very easy repair if not you need to get a tripler at a separate Focus control
@@gtretroworldfor a quick fix cover it with sealant silicon where it arks
@@richardh100 Years ago i used Araldite on a black & white portable but it didn’t last that long,i can still remember the smell 😂

@@gtretroworld or just remove the insides and put a modern flat screen in the case
@@johnstubbs1585 I’ll see how it goes over the next few days but that’s definitely a option.
You can get a Freeview box that just connects to the rf ant connection
I might just have an old RF Freeview box somewhere Dave, good idea.
