Sharp DV1600 vintage TV set

Yes , I know there are a few mistakes in the video but unlike others on youtube my videos are completely un edited and I don't add the sound on after like some people do .

Great memories, did loads at the time, how i remember those little boxes their spares came in, the sheer quality in that set, forty odd years old and works perfectly, modern stuff will never last that long.

Great video Michael. Only seen a couple of these. Isnt it fantastic that you have your original notes after 40+ years !! Thank you

Maybe the clingfilm reacted with the finish on the remote control.

[@mrnmrn1]

Probably the fumes of the leaked battery electrolyte got incubated under the clingfilm and reacted with the aluminium front of the remote.

[@ralphj4012]

Had me wondering Clingfilm can be mostly PVC, which does leach over time.

[@mrnmrn1]

@@ralphj4012 I think clingfilm is PE.

[@andygozzo72]

@@ralphj4012 you can ger some clingfilms that specifically state 'non pvc' so likely some are

A nicely featured TV but broke down plenty. I think they were made around 84/85. The 63cm versions used the same thin neck tubes which ended up arcing in the neck which wrote many of them off, along with the expensive LOPTs that failed. Many issues with caps in power supply and vertical. Were good for the repair industry before the major parts started failing in the mid 90s. I never liked the shape of those remotes to hold. There were a couple of their VCRs that used a similar one held in a drop down panel on the front.

thanks again for the memories Michael , i think the two capacitors in the power supply was 10 uf and 1 uf both 100v for stuck on standby 😊 happy days😊and I'm sure another fault was a small white raster which was the line-output transformer was expensive

I always like the intro

Hi Michael - another great video - just wondering whether you could do a restoration video on the remote control - internal cleaning and repair and recolouring and labelling the outside? More fun for the viewers than buying one 😃

[@hymermobiler]

Thanks Michael another good video I guess it took longer to clean than fix 🙂

[@coffdrops69]

Another excellent video. Your workshop must be an Aladdin’s cave of service manuals and bulletins 😊

[@michaelwaite6725]

Makes me feel old when a tv i knew well is described as vintage 😂, we used to buy new Sharp products trade from Zed electronics in Leeds and Michael Blacks in Newcastle and as you say early ones came with circuit diagram or you got a envelope from Sharp every few weeks with loads of service manuals and updates etc .Shame about the remote control dont think we could buy one now from Willow Vale or Charles Hyde as the tv has outlasted all those suppliers 😂

[@nikspanakis]

Nothing wrong us being vintage, just try not being obsolete or god forbid recycled lol.

[@michaelwaite6725]

@nikspanakis as long as we are not past our use by date

[@rosscammisola335]

Many Thanks for reminding us all about that Sharp TV , Early models were better than their late models and then they started using what looked like Thomson French Chassis and regret the PCB got worse really flimsy not designed to last unlike other makes, Ross

[@truthreigns7]

Why does the white dust tell you the television was used in a bedroom?

[@Barbarapape]

Another golden oldie working again.
The "Made in Japan" dates it back to the 70/80's
Even the Japanese makers had to find countries with cheaper labour.

[@michaeldranfield7140]

I have a soft spot for sharp, the 1980s videos were badged British made , I think they came in kits and were just assembled though in the UK

[@Barbarapape]

@@michaeldranfield7140 Sharp VCR's were very popular with the rental companies, with some regular
maintenance they just kept on going.
I used to by job lots and refurbished the better samples, they sold easily and gave little trouble.

[@jasejj]

They sowed the seeds of their own demise by moving production to cheaper companies. By giving a leg-up to the like of China building parts networks there it allowed these countries to undercut them. Now they're nearly as dead as the European electronics industry.

[@stormer6364]

Thanks for the video.. Hows the machine you connected to the main filter cap work? Regards Stormer
