@@abc-ni9uw hear hear, and may everyone's living state continue on as it has done previously! Thanks Shango066 for the entertainment, always look forward to the resurrection videos & the Hoffmans are cool.
Thanks. Thats great news. Please more baked, encrusted spiders and resistors. i love your channel and i raise my glass everytime you say "schematic". Prost and greetings from germany
As said already: Shango's vids do not saturate or burn out. The projects are interesting. The troubleshooting and resurrection procedures are hands-on and practical. Technical explanations are easy to understand. The narration is sublime. Voice and intonation as well. Just the right mix of sarcasm and cynicism shining through. I love it. What burns me out before I even start watching it is 1hour+ vids like "restoration of this-and-that, part 5 of 13". I'm glad that Shango doesn't do that. Resurrection rules! Please keep it coming, the more the better. Keep up the self-invented technical terms like squoingyboingler and the occasional conversations with tele-marketeers that can only be properly quoted by using the cyrillic alphabet. The way you are 'politically correct' is just perfect. It cracks me up every time. You even manage to make RadioTvPhonoNut's videos more entertaining. So, keep on going, until your living state permits it. You're doing great! Thank you.
Agree! if I see part x of 50 and they are an hour long each then it is usually some clueless idiot chasing their tale for hours because they didn't plug something in or know what they were doing.. Carlson's Lab can do a massive restore of some complex stuff to above factory standards in a couple of hours and his videos are aimed at everyone so explanation heavy, no need for several hours per part into double digit episodes unless your restoring a space shuttle. I enjoy the resurrection series as it is based on knowledge, finding out whats not working and doing the bare minimum to make it work, throw in some Shango humor and winning formula right there.
3:16 UHF Adapter for future channels. I hear one day we'll have over a dozen channels on our TVs. So much stuff to watch, you'll never want to leave your TV set.
i came across your channel fairly recently. i'm 22 years old from long island new york, and i have alot of interest in vintage electronics. something about vacuum tubes just amazes me. Stay safe during the coronavirus outbreak, and have a good week!!
Get into the hobby young man. There are radio and ham amateur radio clubs and radio/TV museums. Lots of people who enjoy the searching and collecting as well as research and technology. And some are nostalgic. It's a great hobby and you can investigate physics, mathematics, and engineering through the study of the electronics and principles involved. God Bless
I live in Italy and we are under lockout since March 8... I basically fully restore a soviet Rubin 714D and I start a Blaupunkt portable TV just today...
Here's the thing though Shango. Every one of these old TV's is a piece of history, that you are documenting. To even know these TV's existed at all is amazing enough, but to see them working again is above and beyond the call of duty. That's also an answer to your question of "Why am I recording this in 4K?" Why is because you are documenting not just a TV screen, but the whole TV, its condition, and anything else of interest that might happen.
“More of the same from him” is exactly what I enjoy. I’m working on the bench doing production type mods to boards. Most boring thing ever - so I watch hours of videos throughout my shift. I could only dream of more resurrections!
An electronics instructor of mine in college used to tell us that the most important piece of test equipment in your tool kit was between your ears. Shango is a perfect example of someone who uses that piece of test equipment before he uses any other. Unless the technician analyzes the problem and understands the underlying workings of a piece of electronic equipment that's being worked on, all the fancy test gadgets aren't going to help him one iota.
More videos the better. They certainly won’t burn us out, instead they will fix our boredom. Australia isn’t in full lockdown yet as our government won’t force it just yet or fully close all schools! Also you are right, no one isn’t taking it serious either, we still have people playing golf on the weekends & tennis. Most of our non essential businesses have closed. Dan, you are sexy with or without the gloves anyway. Stay safe from this virus sweetie, I’m already staying safe self isolating in my home with my kids as I have a weak immune system so I’m being extra careful. Luv u xoxo 😘
As a teen, I had this model in my bedroom around 1968. I used to run home from school everyday to watch Dark Shadows. Maintaining that TV sparked my interest in electronics.

Love these resurrections. Thank you for doing these. Blows me away how a 70 year old TV can be coaxed into partially working again with mostly all original parts, yet modern electronics is lucky to last a fraction of that. Progress eh?! Well done sir.
You actually already have/had a Gamble-Skogmo TV: the 1970s Coronado TV you did a video about a few years ago. The sticker on the back of it says Gamble-Skogmo.
Wow you have an impressive memory. It took me a minute to find the video and I remember that set but I have no clue where it is. Now I have to try and find it
I appreciate that when you post videos Shango, they are good. I don't care if it takes awhile to post one, I'd always take quality videos over quantity.
"Oh, more from him" NOPE, not here, LOVE your videos. Born in 1960, and this old stuff fascinates me! I used to get behind our TV sets back when I was VERY young and start taking the back off, then my mom would start yelling to 'get out from behind there before you get shocked'! LOL! Go at whatever pace you want, I'll be here to watch them. ;)
Back in, I believe it was 1978 I had just got out of the US Army, and moved home to resume my police career. We had a Gambles store in town where we purchased a water bed, and a living room set. We still have the end tables, but the couch, love seat and chairs were sold to a fellow police officer in the mid 1980's. He is gone now, leaving this world last 4th of July. Sad to see him go, he was a great friend. Incidentally I sold my '69 Cadillac to the owner of the store, he loved the old car, and I was sad to see it go but that 472 cubic inch engine just wanted more gas then I was willing to put in her.
Amazing job! I never thought that would work, but then again, the creator of the video knew what he was doing. Petrified encrusted spider videos truly are amazing. Glad it's being adopted, no doubt he'll getting working great. Stay safe out there!
ha. its me. i start watching one the older vids when i get home from work, then fall asleep. wake up 4 hours later and the vids are still playing. no, your vids are not boring, im just tired from the commute from work.
Very impressive work. Don't fear any saturation from here. Watching from Denmark Scandinavia and 1280KSurf-LAOldies is still an everyday favorite. Cheers mate.
Your videos are what I look forward to every week. I usually find it hard to wait until I can relax to watch. I work in healthcare, shit is horrible. Thank you for the entertainment.
Shango 24/7 Dead Spiders, door knob capacitors, mine explorers etc. How did that song go "just can't get enough" Your vids override all others when you pop up in the notifications. Where else do you see real genuine, interesting, constructive people on the tube. Awesome vid and thanks for sharing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Unsolicited input: This old man enjoys your videos immensely. I keep finding vids of yours that I have not seen. Personally, I'm not in lockdown, yet. I have a job in what is still judged an essential service. Auto parts. Matter of fact, my boss just asked me to pick up an extra shift this coming Saturday, which I declined. I'll watch whatever you produce. But please, stay healthy man! ❤️
hey creator and viewers you diffidently have my attention. The top quality content, maybe its me. it makes me feel think of my fine young memory's or are you my lost twin. when i view your videos i say to myself ,self why did you trash all them old electronics you loved so much. many years ago my math teacher gave me her black and white zenith tone bar remote set. it was a score it had a good CRT. Most finds in the old days were completely worn out . I really learned the hard way back then. when i got my first meter it was a treat indeed. to make a long story short. i was not a very good boy i didn't clean my room as i should. But any how my mother cleaned my room and like you i kept the back off the zenith. she push it hard up close to the wall and broke the CRT. I was so upset it was my pride and joy. i fix that think up swell and i only had a meter and a light bulb. No SAMS no ctr checked no tube tester if fact i had to walk to the drug store to test my tubes on a old mercury unit. I worn that sucker out indeed. so many good memory's! i just a few years ago i trashed a bran new not rebuilt RCA roundly it was purchased before they went buy buy . and i recently just found your RU-vid page and still kicking my self for the trashed that CRT. I will never get bored with your content or humor. i sure wish i could find some old sets here on the east coast USA. but by now if i horded them old electronics i would have to own a Amazon warehouse to keep them all. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I WILL NEVER GET ENOUGH ! thanks again shango066 AWESOME- FANTASTIC - RIVETING TIPS AND MORE
Blaaab blea bla ble ble blebb ….. Classic track !!!! ….... Please keep the fun , yet informative vids coming Shango , I've got the bugger bug so I'm feelin rough but you keep us going ! Thank you !
Sangamo Capacitor. (Sangamo used to make electricity meters and clocks as well). That is a very grunty transformer. I never get tired of your video's. Keep it up. COVID-19 apparel gloves, awesome. Great video, the horizontal lines are not distorted in the parrallel.
Sweet! That TV has lived in LA all it's life. Channel 13, today KCOP was known as KLAC between 1948-1954 It changed to KCOP in 54' The white black beauty is just a black one with vitiligo.
Also amazing that in the USA, you still have transmissions which a 70 year old TV can pick up. In the UK, our early VHF signals were shut down in 1985 and UHF about 2010.
shango)66 I love hearing your commentary on current events, politics, and recently the pandemic. And you should leave the mike gain all the way up. It's interesting to hear the background noises as well as the radio stations in your area. I like this new "mod" you did to this TV. it does make a good FM radio.
Great to see you working your magic on a rescued chassis. Keep the videos coming while you can. Love the mix of electronics and irony with a dash of sarcasm. Thanks from locked down uk
Hi Shango! I always enjoy these videos! Interesting history as well with the Los Angeles TV channels on the dial. Ch 13 in Los Angeles is now KCOP and is owned by Fox along with KTTV Ch 11.
I did some quick research on WLAC. The station originates from Los Angeles, CA, (hence the "LAC" in "WLAC"), on September 17, 1948, on TV Channel 13. The station changed its call letters to KCOP on December 23, 1953. The station has a rich history of celebrity actors and directors. For more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KCOP-TV
thank you great videos ! I admirer your persistence with all the BS you been through from you know who. i notice cell phone capacitance touch screens go beyond the borders of the screens. big problem if you ask me. just holding phone causes selections not chosen by the user. anyway thanks for not dumbing down down as most videos and phone software is trying to do. sorry content of this comment is not really related to this video
Shango, I always watch all of your videos right to the end. Wish I could have dropped off those old portable radios for you, when I was in Los Angeles!
These are very educational. I recently acquired a philco 50-T1400 and am interested in making it work again; there doesn't seem to be a lot of info on that model
I enjoy your videos!! Do videos of different things or whatever. The plumbing vids and vehicle repairs are great too. You started the ppe fashion way before many.
Shango066, if I had to choose one and only one of my subscribed channels to survive the in-progress apocalypse and be the only new content in my feed, you have won that distinction.* Put out as many videos of whatever length, so long as each requires us both to have engaged our critical thinking and problem solving neural matrices, they're worthy uses of our time. Start looking through all those hours of unused footage from previous projects, I'd love to see some "$project_name, The Deleted Scenes, Vorona Crisis Edition!" B-rolls. * Sorry Mr Carlson's Lab, sorry This Old Tony, and sorry Thunderf00t; Shango066 already rolls using post-civilization level equipment and techniques, which look more and more likely to become the norm soon...
With the outbreak expected to last 12 to 18 months people are going to have a lot of time on their hands to get burned out with just about everything but that said I don't mind getting a lot of videos.
Law & Order will fail Society won't hold together for even three to four months of this. I guess the channel can transition to a video game style format of me sitting on the roof shooting the starving Marauder zombies
