YouTube on Vintage TV 

Fr

Yeah I am always blown away by the picture quality and the colors this set produces. And in this video the convergence is out as well as the vertical. I really need to go though and re setup and alignment. But what really really is amazing is this TV does it all with out any IC’s or chips. It’s done all basically by just vacuum tubes, capacitors, resistors and coils! Crazy it can look so good.

Like Spock and Data did when they were individually sent back in time.@@MangieRaccoonsTech

I have a 70's TV it doesn't work it's water damaged I found it in a like lake cannoe someone through it in i went back the next day it was washed up on the side I'm surprised its not like water worked cause it's real wood it was hard to get tho I still got it it of course didn't work so I use it as a tv stand I check if it works once every week or so

​@@Econolodge. Punctuation exists, for a reason.

❤❤

Yeah! Indeed and I like it being small and getting to talk yall. I imagine it would be hard to do that if it blew up and too popular

Yeah that will be awesome! Gotta let me know when you get it going :D She is a sweetheart! shepherd border collie mix

I sure will! I might even upload a video. Please pet your pup for me! :)@@MangieRaccoonsTech

Sure will! And if you do upload let me know, I'd love to see it!

Update: I got my modulator in the mail today but no luck! Wonder what I’m doing wrong

Hmmm, welp first, do you still have static or any kind of blank screen

Awesome! What version/chassis do you have? I really love these older RCA’s. I also really love this era of Zenith TV’s as well. XD

@@MangieRaccoonsTech I'm not sure because it doesn't have the label on it anymore and I like the zenith 300 with the 2speakers on the front

Oh yeah they are beautiful sets huh!

@@MangieRaccoonsTech yeah I am on a hont for one but no luck yet

Wish ya luck! Don’t give up, you’ll find one.

Yeah! I was thinking the same thing too XD I think I’m going to try that.

Please do!

@@MangieRaccoonsTechwhat connections on back of your tv?Is it only antenna or coaxial connected?

@robertshade8631 only antenna, have adapter for coax

@@MangieRaccoonsTech ok thought you had hdmi to coaxial converter.I’m trying to hookup some old tv to Tablo whole house setup.Tablo does not tell you that you need hdmi to rca or coaxial converter plus a rf modulator.

I watched this video on the flat screen in the living room and it did the same thing. Had me wondering if it would do the same for anyone else lol

How to configure Alexa to turn tv on?

Using an alexa controled outlet plug adapter that the tv is plugged into.

Next-level laziness.

@robertshade8631 I'm using the Logitech Harmony hub to do it. Let's you replace your remote control with an app on your phone.

Crazy huh! :D I’ve been enjoying it the last few days too. It’s been working great! Indeed so I did see that there is an HDMI to RF adapter on Amazon.

Awesome! :D

That is a good question that many don't know about. Usually youre ok watching from the couch. One of the tubes that produced a lot of has a newer replacement that produces a lot less. You know if you got the older radiation king if the tube glows green XD

Interesting guess

You bet!

if you are getting static, check to make sure you are on the same channel as the modulator output. If you have done that, check with another TV to see if its a problem with your modulator or your television.

Lol I know right! Really makes them foreheads extended too. XD it’s been a few years since I’ve touched anything. The convergence is getting really poor as well. I’ve been thinking about doing a complete setup on it again.

Yeah it is! I really like it too. I found it at an antique mall in Ohio

Oh recommend a good outdoor TV antenna and decent old zenith converter box

@@MangieRaccoonsTech Thanks! Now I know where to start 🤓

Yeah there is something about these old sets I love as well

Same flatscreens are crapscreens.

Check one channel up and down with fine tuning and see if it's as simple as rf being off a bit. Otherwise there could be a lot of thing that could be the problem

@@MangieRaccoonsTech thank you for the response, too bad the fine tuning with the channel and its up & down channels didn’t work. I felt really close to succeeding hooking it up as the sound came out really clear, but found nd article saying that if the sound working fine but picture doesn’t, they said need to change other type of modulator

You're welcome! There is the us NTSC vs PAL. Not sure what region your tv set and modulator is made for. Other wise besides that, older tvs and even 80s and 90s tv sets are getting old enough now that capacitors are failing and causing weird problems like no picture or Strang weird picture etc. That's if the crt just isn't really tired. You should see static/snowy picture when there is no signal hooked to the tv.

Here is a link to an old black and white TV from the 50s, skip to the very end of the video, I cut the dtv to rf modulator and you can see the static snowy picture. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QOTX32Qksc8.html

@mangieraccoonstech thank you very much, will check it out surely

Sadly I don’t

thas funny I turned one of these into a real cat bed but its more from the 80s the tv that looks like a microwave where u punch in the channel I gutted it so that the plastic shell was all that was left and put it on legs

Way back then picture tubes were made round. It was around this time though they started figuring out and being able to make them more square.

Awesome! XD I use mine daily as well

@@MangieRaccoonsTech but I love the tv tho

Yeah I really like this old set too

@@MangieRaccoonsTech my guess is 1950s to 1960

Yap, 1966 CTC16XL :D

NTSC

@@MangieRaccoonsTech We have a PAL standard in Russia and throughout Europe for a long time.

@@MangieRaccoonsTech Asian countries except Japan also use the PAL color system

That's cool, I've been wanting a PAL tv set for a while. Are yall still using PAL? Over here we switched to ATSC

@@MangieRaccoonsTech Naturally PAL, I have a TV set in my room at the very main CRT.
