Naturally... in colour, a look inside a color picture tube factory. 

Honey, he's teasing you -- Nobody has two television sets!

@@digitalradiohacker I know, from a rerun.

I still use one, but for a very specific reason rather than nostalgia.

I still keep it

Very good news!

Sadly the music is shite. And depressing

That's only because LCD is even more sophisticated ;) With more screen layers, advanced molecular chemistry needed for efficient subpixels, electronics components printed directly in the screen surface and much more complicated control circuitry, not to mention advanced lighting like compact fluorescent or even mindblowingly hard to build properly marvel - white LED.

my B&o mx4000 has a 21 inch philips tube made in the uk, maybe you made mine!

You'll be happy to know there's still a large group of retro gamers and enthusiasts rescuing, restoring and enjoying these CRT displays. I've got 5, with 3 in regular use and 2 as reserves 😊

Yo tengo tres de estas televisiones guardadas en mi casa ya que se las quiero mostrar a las futuras generaciones sobre esta tecnología extinta y que fue de ella.

Yo estoy aprendiendo a repararlas (tengo libros de circuitos) y este año me construiré el aparato para revivir los cátodos. Se pueden hacer funcionar hasta 10-15 años más con un mantenimiento de cátodos

No.

филипс уже давно не тот.

What type of tv was it?

@@ElectronicInspiration A very similar model to this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QYBdOKpWTj4.html

@WirelessNut Yup, I've got a couple of those too. The only things that ever needed replacing were the belts.

Have multiple Sonys working 20+ years later

And their TVs. They were one of the first to bring out modular sets. Those were the easiest to fix. There were 4 modules and in the service truck, we'd just carry the modules. Go into the house, analyze the issue, change the faulting module, take the old module as "trade-in" and head back to the shop. There, we'd pop the failed module into our jig, troubleshoot and repair the issue for the next call.

@@BlondieSL Aaah I love that! It's the best of both worlds. Efficient fast turnaround fixes, and serviceability that honors knowledge and expertise. Back when Philips wasn't on the planned obsolescence bandwagon. Good times!

what happened? Nothing. Philips is still there as it was in the 1970s

@@pyeltd.5457 Philips completely got rid of their consumer tech department. They mostly do medical tech now, and right now they're in hot water due to that decision.

@@pyeltd.5457 Philips as it stands today, is only a shadow of its former self. It has sold the rights to its brand name to Chinese companies, which are the ones designing and manufacturing the TVs and home entertainment systems sold under the Philips name. The real Philips mostly produces medical equipment and LED lightbulbs (although I'm not entirely sure of the lightbulbs either). So it's a completely different company today, compared to the one in the 70s and 80s.

Didn't need artificial computers, they had slide rules. How those things work will be lost to time.

What is it? Philips Belgium? You should watch the Trinitron content here, way more informative than this 1970 promo crap video

@@lucasrem Yeah I agree all this taught me was nobody should miss anything about the 70s

Manufacturing CRTs today would still be labor intensive, regardless of how far automation has advanced. This is because CRTs have many individual complex components that require great precision to manufacture. Modern TVs (LCD, OLED) are completely different technologies, which in many ways are much easier to manufacture. Light and cheap plastic defeated heavy and expensive glass. New TVs (LCD at that time) literally immediately gained an advantage over CRT in such characteristics as dimensions, weight and energy consumption. But in terms of overall picture quality (not just pixel detail), LCDs and OLEDs have only recently begun to approach CRTs. And in some aspects of the image, modern TVs still cannot surpass CRT. For roughly the same reason, PDPs (plasma) also left the market. It was a very high-quality, but too complicated and too expensive technology compared to new plastic panels (which are basically just a lot of tiny LEDs).

​@@B1-Han ... Absolutely right, you correctly stated the essence of this topic !!! 😮

A parte ya es tecnología obsoleta a pesar de su complejidad.

but all of this is useless now because imagine carying smartphone with picture tube... Last TV with picture tube stopped working back in 2011 by that time nobody from family was watching the TV but rather using an internet, thus haven't been watching TV since that time nor do need one at home.

OLED screens are the only ones that come close to CRT screens don't have much lag

There is one, at the early television museum

It's for market differentiation, exploiting the perception that a bigger tv costs equally as much to make, so larger tvs had more profit margins for shareholders

did they say that that often to be funny, or was it an earnest attempt to make sure that everyone *knew for sure* that Phillips was at the top of the market? almost 50 some years later it just feels goofy lmao

Het zou ook in Aken gefilmd kunnen zijn, ik weet eigenlijk niet wat er verder met die fabriek gebeurd is. Het handwerk is later wel wat meer geautomatiseerd, maar in Heerlen werd het in elk geval voor kleine series ook grotendeels nog met de hand gedaan.

They are not bonded yet but will be handled as a pair from now on. The shadow mask uniquely belongs to this screen and non other. You can't swap them as each have unique placement and the screen will get the florescent stripes to match. So they stay together, meant for each other but not yet married.

19:57 there is still the distance piece between the glass and the mask to remove, and coat the screen so obviusly the screen and the mask are separated but handled like a pair.

well as a kid a one school year lasted.... for EVER. Now forever doesnt last a school year at all.

We wouldn't have that in today's business promo films, would we? How far we have fallen...

Arguably, it could be an issue with this scan of the film. 16mm isn't bad per se with a good scan, and direct projection would probably have been easier with 16mm

Various types still turn up in the US every now and then. Of course, we had so many TV shops. You can even find new old stock black and white ones…

All the biggies did! RCA *USED TO BE* a wonderful product. Here in N. America, they had some of the best color sets ever made. Then, they sold off as did all the other brands. If you see a flat screen at a cheap store (like Walmart( that is branded RCA, it's NOT the RCA of old. It's a cheap, made in China piece of crap.

Chineseum crap 😠, prefer vintage 🙂
