When you started touching the flyback I flinched instinctively, even though it likely hasn’t been powered on in many years.😅

That is so cool. I was born in 1957. Remember we had black and white initially. I remember the vacuum tubes in the back of the set.

Just take the tubes in to your local Radio Shack and put them on the tube tester. 😁

wow that's very nostalgic tv

That was awesome, man! I love how you breathed new life into that old TV. It’s a beautiful piece of engineering history.

When you turn that radio on in the twilight zone, you will hear only broadcasts from 1936.

Beautiful tv

Hello Very good Love Love Brazil thanks 🤔🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️👊

Now we have TV's you can literally roll up like gift wrap. Pretty amazing.

Big fan from india❤

Everything turned out great. Quite an accomplishment. Congrats!

👏🤝

so cool.

A lot of these old tvs contained asbestos in the cloths protecting the chassis and in the wiring. Is this a concern of yours when restoring these old tvs?

Beautiful TV, I would love to have the experience of working with one of these, a dream. But here where I live, in Brazil, all of this is very rare!

This brings back memories. Radio, then the tv. Then my mother wanted a radio/phonograph combo, the radio had to go. Then the HiFi stereo, new tv, but kept the counter top radio in the kitchen. I remember coming home for a visit and they had a color tv!

I have this exact TV. Bought it over 20 years ago thinking of having it restored. It's all there, has a good cabinet, and lights up. Then I thought I should convert to an LED screen. Seeing this, maybe it should be restored.

Hi, did you sand it at all or did you just use the wood bleach?

You did a great job. This is a great way to learn electronics and enjoy yourself too through TV or Radio circuitry.

Just ran into your channel amazing! Subscribed and liked! Thanks for sharing!

What's a fair price to pay for a Philco Predicta (one of the table-top models) in a condition similar to this, with a decent picture quality? I'd love to have one, but have no idea how much one actually costs

I had a few great old sets ,but when they cut off the Analogue signals, I couldn't see any point in keeping them, of course I had no idea they'd be worth anything one day, so I put them out on the curb they were all crushed in the back of the garbage truck, it's funny when I heard that a wave of sentimental feeling about them came over me, of course it was to late, my little Sanyo set from 1980 had the most beautiful colour, the TV's of today can't compare, I had three black and white sets one was a miniature screen radio combo ,they all went out on the curb😔

I like how the radio has gospel

Fantastic. A great restoration project. Very informative.

WOW! Nice job. A marvelously restored piece of history. Greetings from southern Alberta.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Interesting repair - I have a feeling the reason there were 600 uF caps in the power supply was to help with the half wave hum bars in the picture... but it does work as designed. Geat job on the repair. Funny how the "newer" caps are almost 50 years old... from the looks of it, probably was just a regalar shop repair. 1976 was when I started repairing TVs (in high school) so I did see a few old sets- but any old enough to not have UHF would normally not be repaired where I was because the popular stations in the 70s were UHF. Cheers and thanks for making this.

show us the soldering

I would love to have one of these old radios.

Looks good! I love these old radios.

That's a great job

Used to call those kind of remotes, "Clinkers", for the hammer hitting those hi=pitch tuning forks.

10K temperature rating

I think the 10k on the resistor refers to 10000V insulation resistance.

Very nice work dude, amazing. The high voltages in old TVs freak me out a bit.

Hi. How do you get modern media to play on this TV? I know nothing about restoring or using old TV's so I'm just curious since I didn't see any "inputs" to connect anything to it. Also, OTA broadcasts probably don't work with these anymore I assume? Thanks.

Wow. The sound quality seems better than my 55 inch LED 3D TV from 2012.

Thanks for working to preserve these marvelous historic electronic devices. I was 1 year old when this model came out. My parents purchased their first TV in 1949 or 50. It may have been this one. I have one short memory of standing in the playpen while my older siblings and parents huddled around that small television set. Television was so exciting in those days.

Freaking sweet 🤘

Jack you are almost doing the impossible. Could you please tell us how broad of an electrical engineering background you have. It is one thing to be able to work your way through modern electronics but you must be working with a Television Repair guy from the early 1950s you have living with you. Are there Repair Manuals still in existence from that time period you can reference.

ah Lucky Goldstar- the company that was the death knell to the American Television industry. Zenith was the last Classic american television maker that was independent. was purchased i think around 1994-1995

I remember when I was a kid these old tvs chassis used to be in the shop more than they were in your living room

Not sure you should fix the ripple to be honest. Kind of a Feature, not a Problem. You're not watching that one scene from the Matrix on it?

How do you get into this kind of repair? I've done a lot of repair work on vintage machines and analog tech but it's usually pretty minor, and I'm at a loss with anything that uses tubes. I have an old AM radio and a Wurlitzer electric piano, both use tubes and have their own sets of issues. I'm struggling to find any information about them, let alone anything specific to repair and maintenance. If you have any resources for this I would really appreciate it.

Really cool work. Love it.

It really brings back memories watching Toy Story 😅 Good job on restorations, such a priceless piece you got there 😘

I can watch the Rocky Marciano fight now!

17:20 Those dots you mention are called "chroma dots", and they're caused by the way colour information is carried in a TV signal. The Dr Who episode "The Ambassadors of Death" had been preserved only on B&W film. The B&W picture tube in the telecine caused the chroma dots to be recorded onto the film, and in 2008, a technique was invented to recover that colour information!

I would totally buy that if I could 😢
