I’m gen Z, I have been very lucky to have an extremely generous and patient silent generation electronics guru as “Elmer” to walk me through the paces and teach me how to work on tube gear. Not once in over 10 years has he cared about time or money, he just wants to see his life passion continue on through the generations. Luckily there are enough like him that there is a pretty good sized fleet of us younger guys that have a good start into it, enough to hop the boomer gap.
I was born in 2001 and I have been interested in vintage electronics since I was in kindergarten. I thank people like shango066 on RU-vid for posting videos to help educate younger people like me. Now I have several vintage tube radios and a couple vintage televisions including a 1967 zenith color console. I big thanks to shango066 and others on the platform for taking the time to get the information to us. Also thanks for the comedic entertainment value too.
I was also born in 2001 and have been interested in vintage electronics all my life pretty much. It started with interest in electricity in general. I've got a beautiful 1937 Stromberg-Carlson console radio that I need to restore soon. I've always wanted to get an old TV such as a small 7" set from the 40's since those are small and easy to work on. I just don't have room for any consoles. I agree, Shango066 and the other vintage electronics youtube channels have really been helpful to me over the years and I'm glad to see someone my age into it as well.
Doc Brown's Radio Lab that’s cool. My interest in this stuff first started with electricity too. It started when I was an infant when I put forks and knives into wall outlets. Lol Also are you apart of the lovely high school class of 2020 that I’m in? Also I hope you find a small 40s TV soon those are very cool. They’re pretty easy to find south of Chicago.
I'm a boomer and I never have any concerns with how you do things. I ALWAYS enjoy watching your videos especially the TV resurrection videos. I am not an elitist and I always learn something from watching your videos.
I'm gen Z and the boomers over here are fascinated by me knowing of and working on tube electronics, they always give me tubes or capacitors from their insane stockpiles.
Here in the UK most of them are made by a Turkish company called Vestel and are designed to fail (mostly due to bad caps or self-destructing firmware) within a few weeks of the warranty expiring. They make something like 80% of the LCD and LED TVs sold here, including those badged as being from once trusted Japanese makers such as Panasonic, Sharp, Sony etc) and they all seem to develop exactly the same problems. I've just had to junk a 40" Bush (once a quality British maker) because it lights up then shuts off ten seconds later. It's less than five years old. They should just ship this garbage straight to the landfill and cut out the middleman (aka the purchaser).
I was into old electronics in the 90s as a kid, and had the same experience with many from the boomer generation. Everyone has to learn somehow, and interest in this sort of stuff should be embraced!
Another Gen Zedder here. I would like to restore an old CRT TV, They still use Analog broadcasting here. I would have got a ham license but it was canceled due to Corona
Im a millennial and have been interested in electronics since my parents stopped me putting forks in outlets as a kid! The older it is; computer or other electronics the more interesting it is!
@@ayi5845 Damn, that sucks.. Hope you manage to get your license! (I personally want to start an analog TV channel where the broadcasts are based off of vintage MTV and VH1.)
I was born in 2007, got into old electronics a couple of years ago and even managed to fix a 1969 Setchell Carlson tv, partially with knowledge gained from this channel.
I am 20 now but I got into vintage electronics when i was 10. A great deal of my interest come from a good friend who runs the local electronics parts store/appliance shop. He has been in the business for decades and is also a collector. Always has good advice with any issues as well as having all the parts on hand for this old stuff.
Hello from Germany! I love your work and I've learned allredy a view thinks by watching your videos... I like your practical methods... I can tell, that heer in Germany it's not so difficult to find some ( old) experienced radio- and Televisiontechnicist to support the younger generation with knowledge ( by the way, I'm 23 and getting in to repairing radios at age of 14 and 3 to 5 years ago I started to get in to televisiontchnic ( I try it)... Yesterday I repaired a graetz Kurfürst F171 ( Radio / TV combination from 1958 with 53 cm picture tube) the high voltage coil was baked... So I buyed a Philips cascade ( normally for color ones), after install it, a picture was there but mutch to small... So I lower the flyback voltage by connecting a 150 Pico capacitor from Kathode ( booster diode) to ground... Now the picture is good... Soo I will be put a short video here on RU-vid... Greetings from Hessen
I totally agree with the whole "Boomer" sentiment you shared. I am probably on the extreme end of the young group working on these. And every time I go and look at a TV set or radio, I tend to get comments from people about my age. It's like a cult. "Only we can own these sets" or "only we understand the significance or value" Buying anything online is just open to Boomer price inflation, making this hobby more unreachable than it already is.
I'm solidly into Boomer territory and I know exactly what you mean. I grew up with these TV's and I for one am delighted when younger people express interest in them, and my vintage ham radio collection. I don't know what the problem is with these Boomer snobs. And Shango has the most fascinating channel on here IMHO.
I am kind-of in the middle I guess? I am in my early 30s. so not Gen Z, and Definitely not Boomer. but somewhere in the middle. and I work on this stuff, although not like I used to when I was still in my teenage years and my curiosity was through the roof.
Luckily for us younger folks there's guys like you on RU-vid showing all this stuff in detail for those of us who can't find someone to learn from. The older generation is so quick to pick on kids for being on their phones and just assume we don't care about all the old technology and don't think to or sometimes even want to pass it on. I know not all are like that of course but a lot are and it can deter someone trying to learn especially as this stuff gets harder and more expensive to find. I may spend a lot of time on my phone sure but its because I'm always watching and reading about stuff like this 😂 I really only understand guitars and guitar amps but I'm trying to learn more about tubes in other applications and it's really cool to see them do something more sophisticated than just amplify a sound. thanks for the awesome content as always
Gen Z here, proud electronics nut for all my life. These videos have taught me so much, to not be afraid of just powering things on, to try nonstandard ways to diagnose (i.e. percussive diagnosis), etc.
so many hobbies, and interests are like this, from Restoring 1920's player pianos, to radio controlled airplanes, and many older people who fly R/C planes, wonder why younger people buy R/C planes pre-made ready to fly, (ARF's) as opposed to kit building common in the 60s to 80s etc ) it goes on and on, Shango isn't like that,,not at all, and ever though I have no intention of touching Vintage electronics myself, I really enjoy his knowledge, and videos, and find this stuff fascinating nonetheless !!!
I was really into how things work when I was little. I wanted to build things . And Invent things, and ii still do it today. That would be cool for the younger generation who is really in to electronics to learn this
I'm torn on the paint job. I kind of like it because it's different from about the million woodgrain TV's I have seen. My guess is the CRT got too weak to use so it got turned into a prop. Maybe the knobs were glued to keep kids from removing them?
Yeah kina like a private museum kind of thing where they glue everything so the kids can't get it off which could also be why the crt was so weak maybe they had it run all the time in their museum
...I agree, that's probably what they did so the knobs wouldn't get lost because they are hard to find, to think ,I had so many of these type of knobs, tubes, etc etc...it sickens me that I couldn't hold on to all that stock, now, it would be priceless.!! Foresight is a wonderful thing.!!😏
I'm a millennial "whipper snapper" chiming in to say that I really enjoy your videos and insight, even if my preference is for slightly newer gear from the mid 80s etc. I love the terms you use like "roto-tweebulate" and "clinko-torqulate", and also your patient approach and commentary. I hope you keep making videos, mate. Take care!
I was born in 98 so technically I'm a gen-z but I come from former eastern bloc so it's a bit shifted. I actually made my own equipment for working with tubes. 150-400V HV power supply using PL504(27GB5 ) and PCF82 ( 9U8A ), simple tube tester (heater supply, HV supply with current meter). Also a 0-30V 6A low voltage power supply. I have a different take on the tube stuff. Designed and made switching power supplies using e-waste parts and I power my experimental amplifiers using those instead of overpaying for traditional transformers. For semiconductor stuff I just discard older guys complaining about originality and replace all the needed components to make it working again. I saved a 1979 radio from trash, tuned from 65-74MHz band to 87.5-108MHz, replaced old IC audio amplifier with a more modern (and reliable) TDA chip (generic AB class amp), making an extra PCB in the process. And well, older folks are sometimes a bit furious about some of those mods.
I find the visual color distortions and color patterns this set makes is extremely beautiful. Long live the crt. Poor Mickey Mouse'd TV. Thanks for your videos Shango.
I am turning 16 this summer and have been into vintage Electronics since February 2018 when I snatched a 1972 Zenith Circle Of Sound C472W Clock radio at my local Antique store for $25. Most of the stuff I have now is junk from the 90's and 00's. But I do have a few gems here and there....hope to get a Zenith Transoceanic Royal 7000-1/D7000Y for my birthday, as an upgrade from my ever-so-slowly perishing Reader's Digest RDA-127. Should be fun.
I agree. I'm 18 and have been in this hobby ever since I was little and I'm always learning. I've restored quite a few radios and a few TVs as well, mostly black and white sets. I always appreciate when someone older takes the time to share their interest or experience as that's how the younger generation will keep the hobby alive and learn from them. Great video as always Shango!
I'm one of the "younger kids" being 13 I am the proud owner of a fully functional zenith c519 clock radio scored for the price of 20 dollars plus shipping off ebay I love old electronics zenith's slogan explained what was done "The quality goes in before the name goes on " I am on the lookout for a zenith console radio from the 30s to 40s it will be a long hunt but I hope it will prove worth it even if I need to do work on it your channel has helped my knowledge of old electronics by far my favorite oldschool electronics brand is zenith i wish they were still around and didnt sell themselves off to LG oh well it's just how it is
I'm 54 and collect midi hifi systems and music centres, I know how to fix some parts of the system but I make a point of buying the type of systems that nobody is really interested in and are already destined to end up in landfill. I am doing this so I have some items that I can mess up on while I learn to fix the rest of it. Overall, I think home hifi (as a mass market) has been superceded by smart phones but not in my home, I've never made a 'playlist' whatever one of those is? Keep up the good work.
Strange how the whole cathartic experience of music loud enough to cause a physiological change (blood pressure, heart rate, hormones/endorphins) and emotion with substantial bass has been diminished to a 1/2" speaker. It's almost weoponized or alternatively planned destruction of a medium. Good headphones or ear buds can render great sound, but different experience from "in the environment" and possibly sharing that with a few friends or family. Dog and cat usually don't like it.
It’s weird how we let ourselves be grouped by generation. In my long observation of life, it’s more like humanity comes in types or models and it has nothing to do with age. I’m sad that people my age who love vintage electronics don’t recognize and celebrate people of any age with that interest.
I'm 37 and I'm a vintage TV collector. I run the facebook/twitter page "I put waifus on a vintage TV". I was lucky to have in my town a retired repairman (Hitachi, Brionvega, Stromberg Carlson etc) who teached me many things. I follow you since 2012 and I'm always happy when you post a video because I'm sure that I will learn something new. Many young people write to my pages and I'm happy to tell them some tips and tricks about their TVs. Thanks from Italy!
Actually I kind of like the color, would make a great display in a coffee shop/ restaurant where they put old stuff as decorations. mounted on the wall, like Cracker Barrel does
That's too 70s for the 60s TV. I have always had a console TV, even now. Right now it mostly serves as a table for an LCD piece of junk though. I always liked them.
Maybe send the TV to David Tipton's channel - he recently restored a tube radio with a cabinet painted bright green (he brought it back to natural wood-grain and got it all working).
I had a friend back in late 60s and in his house they had old 1955 RCA that they used but the poor thing was so worn out and the convergence was way off to where it was Black & White with extra red image and green image. What a trip, they watched it all the time. I always remember when Neil Armstrong stepped down on the moon I was at his house and we were watching that fuzzy image on a really screwed up tv. After a few minutes I went home and watched the rest on my dad’s new RCA portable black and white. It was so much better.
I turn 17 the end of July and have been in the vintage radio tv hobby for almost all my life! Started at 4 or 5 when I got first grundig hand held am fm transistor radio as soon as i got it I became obsessed with radio then later on I got into television and taught myself everything I know just overtime I eventually also got into shortwave radio! In about 2015 or 2016 I discovered your channel and have been a big fan since! I also have learned quite a lot by watching your videos
When I was a kid I got a tv for my room and it had a trash crt, all smeary and blooming color splotches. I also had a 10" b&w but I still tried watching the smeary color mess.
Oldest tv I remember us having was a Mitsubishi console tv. This was in 2007 I think? Always thought it was Soo cool when u pushed a panel all the controls popped out. And now I'm here. Never knew there was a following for old vintage TV's.
Hi all. I am an elder and have been in electronics for 45 years and cannot find even one younger person that is interested in learning electronics. Shame cause I would not charge any money and would even give away parts etc to get them started as was done to me from my “elmer”. Anyway since I have lots of spare time being furloughed from the “virus” I had the time to restore an old Dewald 501 radio. Happy because it was in very bad electronic and physical shape. It is the yellow bakelite model. Needed re-capping etc and was completely missing the .05 uf AGC cap to start with with the usual noisy whistly front end which drove me crazy for a day or so till I found the missing cap. Also had to take apart the first IF can and fix the top screw type tuning cap as well as fixing the local osc coil. So now I only need one white knob on the front (cannot yet find on ebay). Surprised the h@ll out of me to learn that this model is selling for approx $900 to $1000 on ebay!!! Who knew? Anyway great channel and am a permanent fan and subscriber.
I rarely comment on videos since I watch RU-vid on my TV. But hey I am a Millennial ,35, (classify myself as Gen X). I love your videos Shango, and have learned more from videos like these than schooling could ever offer. I want to get into repair as well. But my area isn’t ripe for that yet. Thanks for supporting us younger folk.
Kudos I'm one of those that doesn't have the eyesight for it wouldn't know where to start but for the older guys like me who can do it keep teaching the younger ones because it will keep this type of stuff living on I've learned a lot from what I've seen again a big thumbs-up for these videos
I'm a '60 boomer and I had several of these classic roundies when I was in high school. I had reached the age where I could actually repair 'em n get 'em going again. The first battle was just getting the screen to light up. Then adjust the 2nd anode (high voltage) to 22.5kv. The specified value differed a little from model to model but as a rule, the were all generally happy running at 22.5kv. Second, set the focus for "sharpness". If you couldn't quite get "sharp", you could tweak the HV up or down just a tad. Second, align all the "screens n drives" and get a good "grey scale" Now, you're ready to use that fancy alignment generator shown in your video. "Purity". "Static convergence". (All adjusted with the 'gizmos' on the neck of the crt). Dynamic convergence. You could spend a month or two here and not get it perfect. But you could get 'not bad' at 6 ft viewing distance. And after another month of going through and tweaking everything else, your final reward was truly spectacular color, better than any brand new set of the time, due to the "rare earth phosphors" used in these vintage crt's. I know. I've been there. I read those inch-thick text manuals n learned by doing. They were cantankerous contraptions, even more so than a worn out ten speed bicycle. I spent more time working on them than I spent watching them, but it was a 'labor of love' and at 60 years old, if I had more time (and money) than I knew what to do with, I'd go out n get me another one! 8D
When i born tube tv was already obsolete, but i really love how good and kinda magic glass tubes and bunch of others simple componets can produce such amazing picture.
I was born in 1994. Last summer I found Grundig Black and white TV from dumpster. I don't understand very much about it, but I hope that someday I can make it work, and I think that your videos will help me.
I am a boomer that collected antique phonographs since 13, and had a similiar issue with antique music box collectors. They looked down on us and many were pre-boomers and now music boxes have taken a major hit in price as young people are not interested in music boxes. Phonographs seem to have surpassed music box collecting, but even early phonographs have taken a hit. When I say early phonographs, I mean acoustical with horns and early wind up phonographs. Early electronic phonographs do have collectability. Sad to say it looks like the three guys bought a boat anchor.
I'm a millennial currently working on my first Roundie. Picture had been dim and slightly out of focus (I got it to be a lot better by installing a new focus rectifier, but it still had a ways to go) and tonight I finally decided to risk hitting it with my rejuvenator. I was honestly shocked at the improvement. It still doesn't look like a 'new' tube, but it's 100% more watchable. It is sharper and has better color and contrast. Unfortunately I still can't turn it up to a very bright setting due to an issue with horizontal lines appearing on screen when high contrast images show up. I'm probably gonna mess with the AGC some before actually replacing anything (if it's not that I was wondering if it might be something in the horizontal blanking circuit). Eventually I'll have to de-cataract the tube and I'm not looking forward to that, haha.
ive had similar boomer issues with vintage electronics test equipment and amateur radio. im one of the last Gen Xers (1979) so i used to be given old valve tv's and radios when i was very young to pull apart but became harder to find as i got older and as boomers made them so expensive to buy or just think valve tech is too old for my modern brain to get... I love boat anchor radios, i love valve test equipment, many of this old tech will out live me.. im restoring a Telequipment D43 scope and i love it
You are so right about the older generation. If you want to ensure your intrests & hobbies end up in a skip & get forgotton, don't bother to teach a new generation. After all we all end up dead in the end & their ain't no way of backing up our brains.
I'm 27 years old (turning 28 in July) and honestly your videos are the reason why I own an old late 60s Magnavox 14 inch black and white "portable" set, because without these doses of CRT history I'd have likely ignored it without realizing its value (value as like...an interesting vintage electronic item, not monetary value, I doubt it's worth that much). I'm hoping someday to find one of those really nice Zeniths from the 1970s, a Chromacolor II.
Been watching the various comments on here regarding younger people wanting to learn about vintage electronics and the attitudes they encounter from older people,as a mid era boomer (58 model) I love it when someone regardless of age takes an interest in fixing anything older, electronics,cars and trucks, small engines or home appliances whatever, I see nasty comments from folks my age or older when a younger person has a legitimate need to know and asks a question,for my part if someone wants to know something and I know the answer I'm more than happy to tell them, otherwise our interests will die with us, sorry for the long winded comment but just thought it needed to be said.
That's a great intro I must admit ... while I don't share an interest for Vintage TVs this old (still love my mid 90s HD Trinitrons), I'm into digital computers older than me (I was born in 1985) and "we" have exactly the same problem you describe. Elitist oldies hoarding and scolding - literally ending up with unused, broken piles of stuff being crapped on by pigeons or getting drowned in flooded basements while the young ones are usually considered clueless. While I've had the great privilege of working on a few extremely rare, expensive or sought after items (I do repairs, mostly selftaught) those were usually owned by oldies ... promising fair money (like more than a "tip" and spares parts which I used to ask for til recently) ending up with nothing but unkept promises. I've recently been offered to work on a prototype machine that usually fetches $15.000-$25.000 - which I have declined, as a consequence of previous experiences. Wonder if that's gonna change some time before it's too late. I've seen what you described more than once - namely valueable items being dumpstered because the older ones don't care about the digital heritage.
I'd go ahead and ask the owners of this set if you can use the CRT tester and "Wangoflauate" the CRT with a hard core rejuve. There's no sense in trying to save the CRT. So IMO knocking it hard core with a super stage 2 nuck rejuv wouldn't do any harm. It's already roasted anyway.
That tv is out of this world. I always say this, but America has such fantastic televisions from the early days. It makes me envious.. Okay, we got television in the early sixties in New Zealand, but we never had roundies or those Predicta type column sets and so on. Only very mundane box sets with little variation. Sure there are some nice old sets here, but look at this thing! Blue! Round! Color with tubes! My God, I would _kill_ to get my hands on one of those..... You lucky bastards. Lucky, lucky, bastards!
my buddies brian and vinent in san francisco used a large pair of mitsubishi hi-fi speakers to keep various things inside, to keep them hidden. an older set like this, wouldn't be in danger of being stolen when you're out. somebody was keeping sacks of something inside of it. the tubes were all pointed away from what was there.
I fall into Xennial territory (born 1979) so I remember seeing a lot of 60s and 70s electronics in daily use, in the houses of friends and relatives, right up until the mid-1990s or so. I don't own any (I do have a few inherited items from the 80s however) but enjoy watching these videos and seeing something cool from before I was born saved from decades of neglect or a date with the dumpster and breathed back into life. If I had the space and skills, I'd love an old console set for my living room - having a Chromecast plugged into that (via an RF converter box or AV amp) playing RU-vid or Netflix would blow people's minds :) My late wife and I used to admire them in Goodwill and Sally Army stores but realistically i know that the ongoing maintenance required is beyond my skills and budget. It's strange, I hang around in classic car circles and most of the older guys are very friendly and keen to encourage younger people into the scene, as they know that without us it has no future (and it's already happening to a degree with 1940s and 50s iron as those who grew up with them die off or give up driving). I have found boomers can be incredibly rude (hence the 'Karen' stereotype of trying to get some minimum wage kid fired because her coffee wasn't just right) and unfortunately as we head into middle age, elements of my generation are beginning to develop the same entitled attitude and disdain toward those who come after them, as if there aren't already enough divisions between human beings :(
I completely agree with Shango066's comments, However, not all of us CPAP "Boomers" are like that! Yes, there are some, I have met a few, in all my years of involvement with electronics, but it's not been the complete rule, in my experience. I will turn 60 next week, so I'm sort of on the younger side of the Boomer Generation. I most definitely learned from guys older than I, when I was young, and all along the way! I have always done my best to help and encourage those younger than me, who have taken an interest in this classic, vintage equipment! In fact it does my heart good to see young people interested in the hobby! I have given away many radios, TVs and parts, tubes, etc. over the years to help young and old with this hobby. In the end, ALL of us are only temporary caretakers of anything we have, and all who are young right now, before you know what has happened to you...you will be where I'm at right now! Believe me, it happens too quickly! Thanks for another very informative video on this "Admirable" Admiral Roundie! 😊
I am older gen z (which isnt very old but still) and while I know that I currently dont have the time or space right now to properly care for one of these pieces of history it is fascinating to learn about older technology especially purely analog systems because nearly everything uses some form of digital controller to manage it. I think even the last CRT screen TVs I remember from the early 00s would have been more or less a CRT driven by a digital controller.
If its anything for you to know shango, you’re partly the reason i, a 17 year old, got into collecting and restoring vintage televisions. Although in Britain, i’ve got 9 CRT tvs, colour and b/w, big and small, from the 50s - 80s and I dont plan to stop. When picking the sets up, they’ve always come from an older seller, who always seems surprised to find a younger person waiting to buy their set. I often get remarks and comments, and thats from people my age and older. It just seems if you don’t conform to the norm, then there’s something wrong with you.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Every generation goes thru the same process. Every generation when starting out encounters, let’s say, obstacles. What is being encountered used to be called the generation gap. When have you heard last that term?
I had a Philco "roundie" that looked a lot like this set. It would eat the 6KD6 HO tube every 3 to 4 weeks. I bought up several of these tubes & changed them myself when they quit.
The 19VABP22 was an 'advertisement-reform compliant' replacement for the good ol' 21FJP22 or its earlier preferred 21GVP22 renewal type. The 19V represented the 19" diameter active viewing area of the 21" diameter bottle. I'm Gen-X, just always insert a 300mA pigtail fuse in series with the Horizontal Out cathode circuit (or in series with the Horizontal Efficiency coil, thereby relocating the fuse to B+ Boost, in sets where a shared cathode and heater ground exists that may be impossible to separate without risking destruction of the tube socket) to protect the flyback, and be very careful about setting up the sweep and high-voltage adjustments for optimal output and regulator cathode currents. I'm currently providing books on loan for a neighbor's son to study. I'm not sure if he'll be patient enough to follow through with the full '50s-era trade school textbook series to 'graduate' to supervised lab sessions, but the process begins.
Why you dont use the rejuvenate switch...so you can shoot the wehneltzylinder free. Ive got the same 30 years ago in my company and used it, if the tube shows up so bad like these. Try it the next time, you can hear it by a crackling sound inside the tube if its blocked by tiny parts of the filament.
I suppose many would say the paint job is sacrilege, but I think the teal color suits it. Shame about the controls. I came across a Sencore VG91 in good working order a while ago, and while I have a basic handle on what it can do, I've been meaning to inquire if you might have more in depth information about it. Maybe a copy of the owner's or service manuals?
Same thing happening to manual transmission autos and classic cars. A lot of older people I know don't like it when young people are curious because we are too "out of touch" to understand. They laugh that some of us can't drive manual or work on a carburetor but how can we know if they just sit there and joke on us all day? I learned manual by myself but that is only because I had access to those types of autos.
i'm 32 and have been into vintage electronics since my teenage years..as i get more experienced i tend to get upset if i watch some guy trying to fix an old set and ruining it, sometimes forgetting that i have been there. But if someone needs help and i feel i can help than i do help. if you go and ask for advice on videokarma forum than you are presented with the boomer elitist attitude were people either dont help at all or they explain something to you on hiper complex terminology so you dont undestant anything. Just try and go there as if you know nothing about tvs, you just bought one and want to aplly a signal. you dont know what vhf and uhf stands for, you dont know what a modulator is, neither antenna impedances etc etc...you will greated by some guys that just want you to stay away from that hobby....Here in Portugal nobody cares for old electronics but the thing is if you try and buy something (an old set for example) they are rare and people call them "vintage" "rare" "art deco" they lie and say it works etc etc and price it like a brand new 42 inch flatscreen althouth its infested with mouse piss and woodworm and has a bad lopt and weak crt. you feel kind of lonely in the end
I was on video Karma years ago and quickly left that alone. Hopefully these videos and my way of doing things can help others. If not they are just entertainment. In the end all things return to the Earth from where they came so don't have emotions over these things going away
@@shango066 your videos have been helpfull yes so thanks for doing them. UK vintage radio forum tv section and dampfradioforum.de have a couple of helpfull guys but the rest are just there to show themselves off.as for videokarma i just dont go there anymore aswell. a couple of tv repair channels are starting to pop up like OJNOJ for example and thats great. maybe inspired by your channel. we also need to debunk the insane irrational fear that young people have of being around a crt.
