Ha! Great video, loved every minute of it. That's a Motorola 19P35, the set I grew up with all through the 60's into the early 80's when it finally got hit by lightning (dad bought it brand new it 1963). Can't believe you even plugged it in, but then the damn thing starts working - too much! That's the only tv set we had, but in the 60's all you needed were channels 2 - 13 because there was so much great stuff on to watch. Keeping that set running is what got me started in electronic repair, and even though it's been dead and gone for over 35 years I still have the Motorola factory service manual for it. What a trip to see the inner workings of one again!
So true, modern TV and radio sux! I rarely watch or listen too....and what makes it worse is to watch / listen too these vintage gems, you have to deal with garbage / really bad programming!
Vintage Electronics Geek around here I can get 1930's big band music on AM radio It's a god damn miracle because I have an old zenith console radio and the music fits with it perfectly
One historic aspect about this TV is that 1964 was the last year that it was legal to sell VHF only TVs in the US. (I wonder what the manufacturers and dealers had to do with their remaining inventories of sets like this one at the end of the year.) Indeed, it is fascinating that all of these vacuum tubes, save for the shattered high voltage rectifier, survived these harsh conditions for so many years. I doubt that germanium transistors (or possibly even early silicon transistors and ICs) could have survived this kind of abuse.
The first TV I ever repaired was a 65 Motorola. I think it required one tube, tuner & pots cleaned. Adjustments. Friends passed it around until the 80s. Picture got a bit soft near the end.... love Motorolas.
Fantastic clear picture for this 52 year old TV. That TV would have never expected to see digital transmitted TV images to be displayed on its tube. The replacement HV tube works very well. The glowing of the bulbs is awesome !
This is Awsome man, Seeing these things which were abandoned for so long. a good chunk of our lives actually.. and here we are.. Running power through them once again..
Simply amazing... I had "pre owned" B&W Motorola floor model back in the early 70's. That thing just kept on working, I left it with my ex house mates not sure what ever happened to it.
Nice Video! I'm always amazed what these vintage TVs can go through and still work, yet a modern flat panel you can just look at it wrong and the screen cracks and in the trash it goes Lol.
Many flat screens need to be tied down, they use to come with a small cable for that. Kids running around I'm sure knock many of them off the stand. Or a wife throwing something at her husband...and missed!!
iworkout LOL, love how you said "Wife throwing something at her husband...and missed". Yeah it's a shame the poor tv cops it instead of the husband. Haha
Brilliant video, amazing that the audio still worked, with the original speaker. The HV was present minus the broken output tube. You are the true master in TV repairs, and your video's are the best and most interesting in TV resurrection on RU-vid. Keep up the excellent work mate.
Despite the dead spiders that lived in the high voltage, weeds growing everywhere (proves weeds DO grow anywhere), it still came to life, unbelievable!
Amazing picture on a set that's been baking in the desert sun for many years! I've noticed that Motorola does use quite a few oddball European tubes in their sets.
I found it hilarious that the TV basically worked after 60 years, and even better, the American news is comical. I would expect that kind of news reporting in a Fallout game. Best ever youtube video.
Man I can't believe you're dealing with a tv set my family had over 50 years ago. Obviously the color of the box faded away dramatically, but it's the same model; no doubt about it. The image looks great for it time. Still remember how many hours I spent watching Lost in Space in one of these.
That's interesting regarding the 3A3 high-voltage rectifier tube. When I was a kid, I remember we had a 1964 Sylvania roundie color TV in the family living room that used one of those.
wow I have to say you can fix it all and after all this time you got this set going . you fix cars and anything electronic you can probably do plumbing as well. . all the best and keep the great videos coming
I am shocked that you pulled a junked TV that's been lying in the desert for years and have it fire up with a great picture. Only a few parts to make it play. fantastic😄
Is it a sign of sickness that I have watched all of Shango's video's.....every single one, and this is my 3rd time around lol.....its great that I keep forgetting them and can go around again lol.....
Then I am sick as well. I keep roto tweebulating back to this channel. The fascination with old tech and his unique personality.... Oh and of course the airplanes constantly checking out what he's up to. 👍
11:38 Yep. Picked up a Sanyo 90's low end set at a flea market for free. It's moderately high hour and the tube is weak enough where "smearing" happens and text is hard to read. Which, is why I'm daily driving it. I want to see how bad one of these can get!
Probablely carton of speaker is broken. You can change it for a new piece, replace the carton paper, or to arrange with white glue for forniture, due it is elastic. I had a Motorola with wooden cabinet, same inches when I was just boen in 1967, here in my country, Chile, SouthAmerica. In 1978 arrived cokor, transmission (NTSC) and my father bought a Sharp 19". We have a GE 19" color for a week before, but at night image showed a bar black up snd down, cause of voltage get low (220V 50Hz) . Huggs.
Thank you for the video i'm learning a lot... The old vintage TV's now that's quality -- I too like direct tv the best I'm back with direct tv northing beats the clear picture me I picked me up a MCS Turn Table model 6205 year 1980 I plan to relube the motor moving parts with White lithium Grease & zoom spout oil new belt stylus needle..,
Really enjoy watching your videos, and it amazes me how you get a tv working that is showing the Clinton, Trump campaign 2016 on a set that was made just after Kennedy, and looked totally trashed.
The buzzy audio is often caused by strong signals causing the video to clip. The audio is picked out of the video, so when the video clips, the audio does too. Sometimes a slight backing off on the AGC fixes the problem, if the TV has an AGC control.
"Twerkosquirculate" 😂 That's EXACTLY what that horizontal oscillator was doing. All kidding aside, the logic you use, combined with the humor, make your videos must see TV.
That vaping ad just reminded me of when my 13 year old son bought one home from school! A friend of his gave it to him with these bottles of different flavours, tasted nasty & I made my son give it back to his friend as I certainly don’t want him taking up smoking! It’s a disgusting filthy habit. :(
The reason for the light/dark lines, loops, and/or on/off appearance of the CRT is because your camera shoots at 60fps, and NTSC video is displayed at 59.94fps. This difference is where the "Black" parts appear in various shapes and sizes when recording the CRT. When it's dark enough that the shutter speed is under 60fps (when it's dark), you get the whole image.
That classic interferences sound is produced depending of how white is the image (ilumined screen) and in a normal picture (people talking or movie scene) noise reduces it self, I think. Wonderful to see this restoration. Celebrate this testoration going to a restaurant (restoration - restaurant, it's a joke XD).
Amazing what little work it can take to get those desert sets going again. I keep hoping you'll delve into the metal cased RCA set from the "Testing CRTs and Old Television Graveyard" vid. That was the one that got me hooked on your channel. Those earrings are amazing. They make me want to go fishing. "And they lived happily ever after... until she accused him of cheating 3 weeks later. TUNE INTO THE NEXT MAURY TO FIND OUT IF HE'S A LYING BASTARD!!!!!" :|
That's often interesting and depressing... most things I take from the trash don't need any repairs. They just work. My high school once put dozens of Atari MegaST computers on the trash. I specifically asked them to just give them to me, which was denied. So I just "stole" three of them, without a bad heart.
Looks like although Motorola did their own thing that it was a good thing. The old, neglected, sun-baked set seemed to _want_ to go back to work. Who'da thought that Raid and Round-Up would be tools in a repairman's TV tool box?
Wow now I see what us brits are missing out on as far as top quality tv goes.....Ricky lake on steroids.and the old tv is good.well done for it putting up with that rubbish on its screen Great video Shango,got to love it!
Speaking as someone from The Old Country who was used to Nokia and Sony Ericsson back in the day, I can totally agree that Motorola were weird! I now have a Huawei manufactured Honor 7X which runs the All American operating system known as Google Android. I'm sure you could argue that it's actually the Chinese customised Emotion UI but... 1. I bought the phone in the UK, China pre-installed those All American Google apps. 2. I signed into my Google account, letting the NSA know that I've bought a new phone. 3. I live in the UK and use a British ISP and a British mobile network, GCHQ already know who I am. 4. I signed up for a Huawei ID, letting the Chinese PLA know that I'd bought one of their phones. In short, Chinese Intelligence are getting to know everything that British and American Intelligence have been learning about me this whole time!
I'm so jealous! You can watch the Rio Olympics. 😢😭 I still can't because I have no one to fix up my house antenna so I can watch it. Also wow I can't believe this tv works after what it's been through, I told you that you were a genius at this stuff. 👍🏻❤️😘
Jay Bee OK, sorry. LOL I didn't know that it was a male only section! Women can be allowed to be interested in this type of stuff too.......Oh wait.....Shush please, when you enter my woman cave as its a quiet zone too. LMFAO 🙋🏼😜🤐
No, it means that when there's work being done, we all stay quiet. I don't think I have ever seen him really angry and to be honest, don't wanna find out what happens then. He may give you the plastic TV treatment.

I would really like to have a black and white tube tv that has multiple tubes with plate caps like that one not sure if that tube is a damper or a horizontal out put or vertical Out put the B&W tvs I have don't use plate caps for those tubes only the high voltage rectifier tube has a top plate cap
