Old RCA techie here, just ran onto your channel. Watched the four parts on the CTC-16. This is by far the most ambitious resurrection saga I've ever seen or heard of. Just a little tip on setting purity - with the yoke slid back, and the red blob centered, slide the yoke forward until best purity occurs; the 'sweet spot' will occur when the yoke is about 1/4 to 3/8 inch shy of being fully seated against the CRT bell (On rectangular jugs, the sweet spot will be 1/8 to 1/4 inch shy). Kudos for your tenacity on this project, my hat's off to you Sir.
You guys in the UK missed the fun years. By the time you got color in 1967, we went through 13 years of it here. We we worked out the bugs before you started, and went in a totally different direction with PAL instead of NTSC.
That antenna is almost exactly the same design as TH-cam videos and online forums recommend to build for digital TV. I’ve made one and it works well. I have some VHF channels, and it even works for them.
I cant believe you found that, I had one growing, up stuck out my window on side of the house, It worked great back in the 70"s, nice fine, makes feel old being I'm 61 , you will like it.
Hi shango greetings from Ireland i repair tvs and radio's a lot of new lg Samsung leds go bad after 5 years old tvs were bult to last nice to see them working again keep up the good work 😁
Excellent video, I watched yesterday but TH-cam wouldn't let me comment. then after I refreshed it the video disappeared ? But today I found it in my history.
That type of antenna was very popular in the country side in Romania 15...20 years ago... only was UHF and VHF and with amplifier...I did had one... till cable was bring in the village... Now some people are using satellite antenna...
The word *Local* in English sounds like *loco* in Spanish, it is *crazy* . You are loco. Keep this way! We need locos like you. Thanks for repairing these marvels of past era.
You successfully resurrected that TV! The camera always makes the picture look better then what it actually is. I still have two TVs they have picture tubes in them but they're solid-state chassis. Always enjoy your videos
Hey Shango, about your Fluke meter, I have a Fluke 12 and it was doing some weird display things. They use those conductive foam pads between the board and the display, (or at least the 12 does) might take it apart like I did and just give it a finger wipe, (not sure that really helped or it was just the taking apart part of it was) put it back together and mine worked fine after that.
Yes, it's like a hard rubber contact. I don't understand them completely, but cleaning the board contacts and the flexible contract strip will fix the display just about every time.
What happened about 9:12 into the video? The audio seems sped up for a while starting at that point. I'm glad you're parting the set out rather than EOLing it.. Seems like a lot of work to go through watch it go up in smoke (and kill a bunch of tubes..).
Shango066 At the least very least you accomplished a great feat by resurrecting a otherwise dead television. You gotten very good at doing this. You saved another vintage Television from singing the junkyard blues
No there are still stations on VHF (in LA 7,9,11 and 13 still transmit digitally on their old analog era VHF channels) you might want to check out Antenna Man
@@Bagel-the-Beagle-1 ABC 6 WPVI Philadelphia still transmits a digital signal on Ch. 6 (PBS stations in Boston and Pittsburgh operate on the VHF low band 2-6 so a VHF antenna is still required)
Sorry I didn't realize you do a lot of this (sigh). When I was younger I used to haunt out back of TV repair shops. I had figured out that with an old TY for it's transformer and horizontal tube and a couple of 5 tube radios for the variable capacitors I could cobble together a linear amp for CB. They have all dried up now but good to see some (not all) survive. Cool.
27:01 bottom center of screen can see voltage tracking and shorting around and amongst the pads in that area, like tiny lightning bolts. I assume its voltage dwindling out of the system after he was turned off.
That's not true, Mister Shango! Here in Jacksonville, Florida, we have four high-band VHF channels. Why the FCC allowed it that way, only the Good Lord knows. So, while we don't need the low-band VHF antenna, we do need a high-band VHF as well as the UHF channels antenna here.
Great work! I am always amazed at your knowledge and ability to stick to the problem and reason your way through. You understand how the circuits work at a fairly high level and can usually identify the component and type of failure. I'd love to understand your hobbies, education and vocation/career choices. It's always interesting to me how people get into different hobbies and work. Was there once a video about that which I've overlooked? Thank-you and God Bless. PS No matter which party you affiliate yourself with or which candidates you support it's important to understand that a country with a government based on self-rule is subject to principles just the same as the electronic circuits Shango066 troubleshoots and repairs. The outcome of the diagnostic process and repairs as well as the circuit functions themselves are reliant on those principles. You can't often "luck in" to successful diagnosis and function without understanding and abiding by these principles. Our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and amendments are based in principals gleaned from thousands of years of human history. We have the greatest country in the history of the world. Can we keep it? I hope and pray we can and trust that with God's help we will keep the American way alive and well. God Bless the United States of America!
Not true what you said about VHF channels not used any more. They are in many areas even after repack used but of course in digital. It's true,in many areas only use the UHF band for RF signals and the above antenna would work very nicely. GE had a recall of a bad run on HV and shunt regulator tubes installed as OEMs on a run of sets made in 1966. It resulted in an expensive recall for the company.
I have been watching this video with the wish I could share it with my late brother-in-law who was a Sams Technician. I also looked at Wikipedia topic of Colorburst. Watching on a 60-inch digital set. My wife proposed an idea today I find frightening. Kamala moves to the Supreme Court. HIllary become Vice President, and then Joe is gone. Welcome to President HIllary.
I am also from the UK and was very pleased to see the results of your election. Common sense prevailed in my opinion, but thats only my opinion. However, politics aside, well done on this Resurrection.
Always a happy ending. When you tarsh sets like this after replacing parts do you bother recovering the parts? Like in this case that new oscillator coil
I know you done a great job getting that tv going. You seen that by the mice damage. The mice killed ever part in that tv. You worked harder then any body would on a tv like that. Even if that was a rare tv the crt was no good. So even if you took it all a part and put new parts in it. The crt not worth anything. I give you a A on working on it. And let lots of people learn from all the problems you had to fix. And washing the tv did not cause the problems. Have mice living in it for years killed that tv
I'm with you. I think rodent urine and other dirt and contamination got into the little places and probably didn't wash out. Did the washing put the contamination in the small spaces? It's possible. Impossible to know for sure. However, it's likely that the nesting would have been above the components and stuff rolls downhill so to speak. I wishI could effect the repairs he does on all of my goodies. I wouldn't EOL any of them. I have no idea what to do with them. Unlikely I think that I can find a home for every item I own....
Hello, I just wanted to say I enjoyed your video series on resurrecting old valve (sorry tooob!) TV sets. I've got a lot of them here from the late 50's on, mostly black & white 405 line sets as well as a few dual standard ones. Very interesting, and educational not to mention brave- I salute you sir! After watching you, I might do a few videos myself. I've got an early 70's colour Teleton (General/Toshiba) set here with US valves, almost impossible to get here and UK equivalents won't fit, are they still available in the US? Many thanks and keep up the good work.
Hi there, I was wondering if I could have your horizontal output tube please. 6je6/6lq6 tubes are very useful. I know it is a big ask but nothing ventured and all that. Thank you.
Hey, new fan from Canada over here! I've been enjoying your videos during my holidays. You often say that nothing beats RCA for colors demod,. Which were their best years? Also, what are your thoughts on Hitachi TV? In any case, Happy Holidays!
I remember how the Color Peacock looked on channel 4. Always tried to adjust color and tint using the peacock. That was a great color TV in the 60's except the fine tune adjuster. Poor Chris Wallace he had to Try and moderate the arrogance and Ego of Trump. I wonder how Trump's tune will change now? Hmm...
Trump having to act like the debate was neutral and Joe Biden is a good and honest man. I'm not surprised he was grumpy. I wish he stayed positive and brought questions back to Constitutional principals. God Bless
That's right there are still stations operating on the VHF band (2-13) and they are not all stations that still use their old analog channels some are actually stations that were on UHF channels back in the analog era, plus some were former VHF low band (2-6) stations as well (and the repack made some stations move from UHF to VHF (high and low bands, as well move from high VHF to low VHF and visa versa)
"Kat whisker" aerial. That's a fortuitous score... Very appropriate. You gotta love that charming type written "Gestettna" style fact sheet. That's how they rolled back in those olde days. Nice.
My grandmother used to call her outside antenna "the aerial". She used to have the 300 ohm twin lead from it hooked into a clothes pin like clip that hooked onto the 2 screws of the VHF or UHF TV antenna screws, where you could unhook it from the TV quickly before a lightning storm hit.

Such a great series !...I wish you guys all the luck going forward...ya gonna need it...cheers.
I used one of those back in the day....I bet it will work with Digital TV
RF is RF. The antenna makes no difference on digital vs analog. There is no more analog TV in the united states.

And a good suggestion is to use a 300-75 ohm matching transformer and RG-6 coax cable at the antenna

Thank you shango
Please take that fluke apart in a video, and clean the LCD zebra strips.
This is 100% the problem I have a fleet of flukes and when the display gets messed up this is what the fix is.
That's the very first time I've heard these antennas called Kats Whisker, here in England we call them grid or bowtie antennas.
Bowtie Antenna. Yagi?
That’s what I was thinking was “Yagi”.
