Diagnosis requires attention to detail and patience reveal you were here volume you working in my phone is the minimum wage about the hottest city for the Evans
Advertising Revenue for this video goes to the NFL, I'm so sure they appreciate my effort and your time. Also a huge shout-out to Justin Timberlake for providing search deep empowering content to demonstrate this beautiful vintage television to its full potential.
I got this thing inside my home It goes electric, wavy when I turn it on Brings static thru my city, all through my home Smoke flying up, no ceiling, when we're in our zone
One thing I will say for Timberlake, back when Johnny Cash died and Timberlake was nominated alongside "Hurt" video. Timberlake won but said onstage he didn't deserve the award and it should have gone to Johnny Cash. He got my respect for that.
Honestly Shango, I fix stuff for a living like you do, and I think these repairs you do (and self criticize) are the most amazing because it shows how completely you understand the system and how it works.
These videos are exactly why I love Shango's videos. Truly a master, and when those tide pods came on, and Crystal Pepsi, I lost it laughing. It's the little attention to detail that gets me.
Tubesets rule, amazing that this heavily weather abused/flooded out, rusted set got resurrected and working. Pity you cremated the orange tuner subbber device. Enjoyed every minute of this video. keep up the great work. Brilliant patch up on that flyback TX.
Who would have ever thought that you'd see the Super Bowl playing on a 1960's GE TV that was left for dead decades ago in the desert? Your clever hacks to get it working again were brilliant!
Never watch nfl because never saw the point in grown men fighting to get a ball between two sticks in a field. Iam however addicted to your channel and your tallent is incredible. Ask yourself the question. What have i learned, or how better is my life after watching nfl game? Answer, its not and in fact you are monetary poorer. Watch shango66 and you have learned something, a skill that could enrich your life, save you money make you of positive worth to society. Give me shango 66 any day over a boring childish nfl ball game.
Working wonders for our entertainment daily for we, the shut in Americans who love old electrical crap! Thanks a Million, another hour wiled away, and today, nothing new! Just great old stuff!
Clever application of the blonder tongue modulator IF output. I like the touch with the product placement. Great videos, this is one of my favorite channels. Keep up the good work!
So Cool! We had a 1960 G.E. Portable that replaced a1951 Magnavox with a dead picture tube. That G.E. was tube tech top to bottom and we got twenty two rears use out of it. It was my window on the world ! Patent 3190554 .
I was on a WestJet flight during the Super Bowl, and almost every seatback monitor with live satellite TV was tuned to the Super Bowl for the entire flight. When the airplane landed, the flight attendants announced they would leave the TV going for the last few minutes of the game. This was one of the few times I didn't see passengers rush for the door when an airplane landed.
I bouhgt one of these back in 1965 which was in a blue case. It worked for about five years and then the tuner died and it was well put in the trash. It cost around $95 and was bought in a drugstore if I remember right.
My first solid state 19" Sears TV circa 1974 had a power supply draw the louder the audio was...picture would shrink just like this GE does when volume turned up....it was just bad or cheap circuit design. I think when this GE set has the audio fixed it will not have to be turned up as much thus not really noticing the picture is being shrunk. That said I bet even after audio is fixed picture will still shrink when turned all the way up. Pounding disco music shows were fun to watch the picture shrink with the pulse of the beat!
Hi shango, found the channel a month or so ago and just wanted to say that you are pretty amazing to watch, a bit scary, but still amazing. Please keep up these great videos. See-ya...
Vert. hight & Lin. control failure was sort of a common problems on these and similar tube sets back then, these were the cheapest of the cheap back then, fixed a lot of them Admiral made very similar sets too.
In late 60s there was a GE television manufactured and sold here in Brazil which is basically the same, excluding the UHF tuner. Sorry that I don't have mine anymore, the CRT was so weak that it didn't produce an image and I throw it away, it was 20 years ago. :(
Another good vintage tube product resurrection video. I recall you said in a previous video about the GE "these things usually just work" and sure enough, this does, after a bit of perseverance. The HV drop causing picture shrinkage with increased audio is because the TV does NOT like Justin TImberlake with his Hando "Romper Stomper" look. I must admit before I saw this video I'd never heard of Tide pods. They sound like a suppository.
oh new shango066 vid and wow! i'd forgotten about that set and the others as i was thinking about the philco ford (not! just been a while since we've seen anything from that place on here)
I bought a very similar set at Woolworth's back in the '60s. The TV costs $99.99 plus sales tax but the store's cash register could not ring sales higher than $99.99 so the cashier had to ring up the sale as $9.99 ten times, then add the sales tax. I still have the TV but I have no idea if it works.
Another remarkable repair. I wonder how many saw the superbowl in black and white? As for Tide I can't stand the stuff. It takes 2 washes to get that artificial chemical perfume smell off your clothes.
What does "do not test " mean...is that hi voltage...I do transistor radio and some tube radio repair, and just began again after 30 years of not doing it.
It use goes to show how electrically rugged these old tube sets were; try putting a modern flat-screen set in the same conditions and you’ll be lucky if it doesn’t explode in a giant fireball! (sort of like the EOL videos on this channel) 😎
+The Guitologist I was thinking that too - a 1Meg resistor with a 1Meg trimpot in series might allow some adjustment for vertical linearity and be close to the original value (2Meg). The set would still need a complete re-cap but at least you'd have some control over the vertical by temporary component substitution. Fixed resistors in place of a pot have the potential to drift and affect alignment. But I don't think it's worth the time and/or money to invest in a full restoration in this instance, given the overall condition of the set plus a dead tuner.
