The instructions for the super mack say to switch it to "remove G1 short" (at which point it cuts the heater voltage) and let it cool down for at least 30 seconds before pressing the button. As far as I can tell removing a G1 short is like burning off a tin whisker with current. It'll surge the grid and blow off any particles that may have gotten lodged in there during transport or when/if at some point the crt what turned vertical with the neck at the bottom and stuff fell into the gun. The short likely won't come back unless you were to upend it again
PC (Windows AND Linux), 53" Smart TV, whatever. I'll show the Millenials your stuff (and others, of course) JUST to learn 'em how to actually fix things before running out to buy new. The point is that THIS is the REAL TH-cam content that people need. Please don't ever stop.
I bought a phone to make calls on! I've never watch a video on a phone. This video was very clear on my computer monitor, and it's not even a full HD one.
It would be made out of ten times recycled ford tauruses and the rest would be asbestos with a sprinkling of glass shards that would resemble this lovely TV but in a really crumbly way like the lamented modern Crosley 300 in 1 classic-retro-magic vinyl grinder radios.
I would like to see a video where you change the capacitors on this TV. I guess people might think me of being weird, but every piece of electronics is different. Besides, it's fun to hear you ramble about all sorts of stuff. I find it entertaining and sometimes fascinating. I don't know why, but sometimes I learn something new. People with short attention spans can always skip past those parts.
Hahahaha! I absolutely love that "Smokeless Grill" and plastic TV EOL idea! It has to be the "boy inside the man" thing! It still makes me laugh out loud, when I see your EOL's! "That blowed-up real good!" 😁😊😉 Nice little RCA KCS100B, I have one, in red, with the swivel stand complete. I agree about the band-aid effect of rejuvenation, etc., temporary fix, but I have had mostly good luck with the G1 short not coming back, once cleared. Worth a try.
Ditto, I would more than donate to shango's patreon account or donate a smokeless grill to the cause for research on will it remove smoke from a EOL TV.
Just watched this video on my 55" flat screen and although it's only 1080p the video quality is outstanding. I am now at the computer with a 27" 1080p monitor and it is still the best. I do not own a 4k tv or monitor but it works out very well with what I have. Very clear and small details show up. Keep up the good work and enjoyable videos. Aloha
Not a bad candidate for restore, if the CRT behaves. I have one of these sets as well, with the stand, and may get to it someday, too many projects in the queue.
21:50 hey what about smokeless capacitors with extraction technology so they don't stink the house out when they start to short? Actually, nah that'd take the fun out of it I like the smell of dying caps.
From my reading, clearing G1 shorts is an okay fix IF, you keep the tube horizontal through the rest of its life. They say to avoid having the CRT in any form of screen up position after clearing shorts.
I normally watch you on my 13 inch MacBook Retina display. I couple of times I've downloaded one of your videos, dropped it on a flash drive and watched it on a little (13"?) 90s color CRT TV out in the garage. Using an Ematic AT103B converter box with USB recording.
Most of the buzzing probably is caused by a wide bandwidth audio demodulator, reaching down in response well into the colour subcarrier area and probably also into the video as well. Most likely the major cause is leaky interstage coupling capacitors and bad power supply capacitors.
I hear you on the band-aide thing. My very limited experience with rejuvenatiors proved to me just how temporary that process is. Hopefully clearing shorts is more permanent.
I wanna see the plastic TV Grill EOL !! Would be cool if you looked at a reel to reel tape recorder sometime, or maybe a vintage tube type ham radio transceiver, im into cb and ham radio, vintage electronics etc
Ditto, I would more than donate to shango's patreon account or donate a smokeless grill to the cause for research on will it remove smoke from a EOL TV.
i did used to watch on my computer and still do sometimes.. but carnt be bothered to sit at computer unless i have too.. much easier to watch on my mobile. i could netcast it to my tv from phone but carnt be bothered to do that either.
The "restore" and "rejuvenate" type functions tend to be temporary unless you're waking up a good but long-unused older B&W tube's cathode for the first time after lengthy storage. The remove G1 shorts is usually permanent unless the tube is very old and/or the gun structure is coming apart. It is usually just a small flake that once you blast it, if the CRT is otherwise showing strong, will lead to good service life.
Those little TVs from the mid 50s on are famous for bad caps. Not only age but all those tubes confined to such a small space causes it to be a miniature toaster oven. I'm shocked it has a power transformer! Usually those little sets are series string, hot chassis "gutless wonders" to keep weight and more importantly; production costs down. Looking forward to the next installment!
yeah! shango I liked it look friend you fixed the TV now just need to change some capacitors, it's shango you are a great technician asd.. your friend Ricardo sales franz
I know this video was posted a while ago but I couldn't resist commenting to my mate about those two adverts, back-to-back, featuring products which they claim to be something they aren't. .. Jeez you suffer the same sort of commercial crap as us but on steroids .. thanks for keeping us informed! I no longer feel hard done by with our comparative lack of TV/radio channels. Really enjoyed seeing this brought back to life, what a fantastic result so far (prior to the next video). ↓ This is what I mean by those ad references, if I'm actually wrong about what frying is, let me know, I probably won't bother to respond though ↓ Smokeless "barbecue" which extracts all that smoke which is traditionally meant to flavour the meat and add some "atmosphere" to the -outdoor- occasion? An air "fryer" which, everyone with a modicum of intelligence, knows is an oven??
The weakened early-plastic form that holds the deflection-yoke coils in place could disintegrate from the heat of the CRT, causing those coils to unravel. It would be advisable to replace the wax paper caps that handle higher voltages, since they're the ones that are under the most stress. Those oil-filled caps need immediate replacement because of the distinct possibility of them shorting and damaging adjacent circuits.
A possibility is that something, maybe some of the cathode material flaked off and when you carried it the material created the short in the tube. Back in the day I used to have more luck clearing shorts lasting than rejuvenation for low emission. Heater/cathode shorts were best handled by an isolation transformer much safer then pushing the big button. I have 3 of these little sets Red, White, Black, I restored the red one years ago....as I remember it required quite a bit of profanity. I would say no one should make this set their first TV restoration. But the little set produces a great picture very stable and good contrast and brightness. This is a much better set than the little GE 9 inch of the same era.
I had one of those as a kid, back in 1963. Hot chassis set if I remember. Maybe not, is that a power transformer in the back? 6U8=6GH8=6EA8 ad nausum. Lots of similar numbers for those triode-pentodes. CRT looks like an ion trap job. I'm no expert, but I think you'd have a better chance of long term fixing a G1 short on a CRT than a heater to cathode short. Also in fixing the heater to cathode short, it's more likely the patient would die on the operating table.
I didn't have one of those, we had a big old Motorola B&W to watch Astro Boy on. It was still working in 1976 when my folks finally caved and bought a color TV.
Thanks for the 'Restore Method' info IE: 'G1' Short. Lasting or temporary, either way that CR31 Sencore is Boss! note - i don't work on these - just like learning the 'whats, hows & ifs'. Wanting to know - better than Nothing ? tho - some don't like Truth . . now about that grill. =]
the UK firm Ekco used clear plastic (perspex?) on some of its LOPT frames/shields(which also carried the EHT rectifier) and they were notorious for 'rotting'/shrivelling
18:45 I bought a 1999 GPX B&W portable TV (in box) at Goodwill a while back, and the vertical hold was really bad, like how it looks at this point. In my case, the potentiometer was bad, but I need to do a better job of fixing it. Oh, and the contrast pot also went bad, and I need to replace that one, too.
Did they really make those as late as 1962? I've got a Consumer Reports from 1963 with a story on small plastic sets that are about half the depth of that beast and of course much lighter (not that all of them would have lasted as long). I'll bet this was their "economy" model if it was still sold in the early 1960s.
Good video! From the outside, you would think this is a transformerless set, with PC boards. But once you open it up, you realize that you were wrong on both assumptions. Cool little sets, though! It’s a shame you didn’t get the tripod.
Speaking of oil filled paper caps what is everyone's opinion on Sprague Vitamin-Q caps? are they any good? Ive got some NOS ones but i cant find any info on them other than guitar people seem to like them for their amps which makes me think they must be junk considering they seem to like anything that leaks or explodes?
I would love to find one of those 1950s sets. I've been searching flee markets and garage sales for years. And Fleebay sellers think they are super valuable. Not to mention shipping cost for one. And then most people don't know how to properly pack one of these for shipping. So, I guess I'll never get one.
I have the very same set. It has not yet been restored and so far is dead. There was another youtube video of someone who restored their set and had to manufacture the plastic for the yoke. I restored two Zenith porthole sets and the "buzz" is an issue.
The writing at 5:35 is the wiring color code for a canister capacitor. Someone wanted to make sure they wired the replacement capacitor correctly. I found a link to replacing the canister capacitor with regular capacitors. See those little symbols the triangle, box, half circle and "nothing" are etched into the bottom of the cap. Here is a link I found for replacing a canister capacitor with regular capacitors. www.instructables.com/id/Tube-Radio-Capacitor-Can-Replacement/
Every video of yours I've viewed on my laptop(s). Your channel content, in my opinion, doesn't lend well to phone sized screens. Keep up the good work. 73s KE0RFZ Oh and BTW, what a lovely unit!
@shango066 I have a 3D printer. but Ive got no clue what it would take to make a yoke. that said if someone else in the comments knows the yoke and can get me an stl file I'll print it and ship it to you. no charge so long as you dont care what color plastic i use. side note: Im absolutely watching this video in 4K, and on a 50 inch 4K TV to boot.
Wow 4k! I watched your video on a 43" 4k monitor. shango066 in 4k? Are you kidding? This is a first. I know I am in the minority but it looks great! I can see and count the CRT scan lines crystal clear. Thanks for all your videos. Thumbs up.
25:37 - and the secondary infant mortality begins. That TV is considered by some people as "a lunchbox" model. If you do an EOL with a smokeless grill, I look forward to seeing it.
lol I knew short clear button stabbing was going to happen but it still made me laugh like hell :D as for the G1 shorts, i've heard from radio hams that have got cheap transmitting tubes due to grid shorts and used a high voltage capactior to clear the short and used them for years afterward without trouble... could have been a grid wire that broke and was making contact that got burned off when clearing the short... performance might not be as good as new if that is the case but probably very negligable degrade. your thought about running it for a while is good idea.
4K is better, resolution is why! Taryton cigarette reference. 😁. 4K The next best thing to being there. Bell System reference. These are great sets although VERY painful to work on, like you knoted in your alknowosis.
A good thing would be to recap it since its physically in a good state with the hopes of you one day stumbling across another picture tube or another of these TVs that might be cheap cos its rusty but the tubes ok
18:01 Definitely a permanent fix, since the little chunk of stuff that got lodged between the G1 and cathode structures and shorted them got zapped to bits by the multiple charges ;-) from your CRT rejuver, and since the set was on it's face when you zapped it, whatever bits of stuff that got blown out from between G1 and cathode most likely fell down through the neck and into the main body of the CRT, far away from the gun area.... the little remaining micro-bits probably made little microscopic dings in the screen phosphors when they landed... lol :-D
Bad caps... Bad caps... whatcha’ gonna’ do? Whatcha gonna do when shango gets to you? 🤪
They'll turn leaky in fear!
Lol
Eat my G1 shorts.
LOL! :-D
What's SHANGO'nna do when he comes for you?

Thanks for taking the trouble to make these videos. Please keep the 4K
Nice looking artifact from the fifties... imagine what it would cost to build something like that today?
Not much if made in china.
It would be made out of ten times recycled ford tauruses and the rest would be asbestos with a sprinkling of glass shards that would resemble this lovely TV but in a really crumbly way like the lamented modern Crosley 300 in 1 classic-retro-magic vinyl grinder radios.
It'd retail at about 1000 bucks and wouldn't pass any modern safety tests
If it was made in the USA in today’s day it would be what is cost originally in the 1950’s adjusted for inflation plus like 35% probably.
all those people also loved the copper Pans, and the Ronco, chicken fryer..and the chop o matic
but arent ALL fryers chicken fryers technically? hmmm
Repair nightmares aside, there is something beautiful about the old vertical construction. Easy to say from this side of youtube, but still
Really pretty amazing performance considering the caps.
I would like to see a video where you change the capacitors on this TV. I guess people might think me of being weird, but every piece of electronics is different. Besides, it's fun to hear you ramble about all sorts of stuff. I find it entertaining and sometimes fascinating. I don't know why, but sometimes I learn something new.

Or put the youtube playback speed at 1.5
4K resolution is great on the big screen. I and my two girls are following along. Good stuff.

For a set with original caps it works very well.
The 4K is good, and makes for nicer HD viewing.
That would be awesome! Great old tv Shango.
Just watched this video on my 55" flat screen and although it's
only 1080p the video quality is outstanding. I am now at the computer
with a 27" 1080p monitor and it is still the best. I do not own a 4k tv or
monitor but it works out very well with what I have. Very clear and

I had a TV once with G1 short, blew it off with 1uf film cap :D TV didn't come back. The point is, give it a try.
Thats right,you have nothing to loose,its already bad.
I have one of these, pure hell to work on lol
Not a bad candidate for restore, if the CRT behaves. I have one of these sets as well, with the stand, and may get to it someday, too many projects in the queue.
Looks in very good condition.
I bet service techs loved seeing one of those come into there shop for repairs.
Look forward to the restore. Looks like it'll be an interesting chassis to work on!
Restore it Shango. Please. It deserves to live again.
That would be a great idea Papa Shango.
EOL smokeless grill
Taking that thing apart is going too be real fun pfft great video thnx.
Another great video. I love the stereo mics on your camera - with headphones it sounds like I’m right there.
21:50 hey what about smokeless capacitors with extraction technology so they don't stink the house out when they start to short? Actually, nah that'd take the fun out of it I like the smell of dying caps.
I love the smell of electrolyte in the morning, smells like ... dead caps.
From my reading, clearing G1 shorts is an okay fix IF, you keep the tube horizontal through the rest of its life. They say to avoid having the CRT in any form of screen up position after clearing shorts.
4K is appreciated. Even on a 1080p screen it looks better due to the increased bitrate.
I imagine that was an expensive TV back in the 50's. Cool TV.
Shango if i were you i would do the restoration,keep using the tv and it should hold up.Good looking TV .
Looking forward to the next E.O.L. that you do.

Let's put some new capacitors in there.....let's do it for Jason
The Original Cruze-bot.
The 4K looks excellent! Keep it up if it's not too much extra work. We know you got better things to do if it's too much extra work.
20:30 Do any of the converter boxes have a B&W RF option? If the color signals are causing some of that buzzing, it might help.
Most of the buzzing probably is caused by a wide bandwidth audio demodulator, reaching down in response well into the colour subcarrier area and probably also into the video as well. Most likely the major cause is leaky interstage coupling capacitors and bad power supply capacitors.
I hear you on the band-aide thing. My very limited experience with rejuvenatiors proved to me just how temporary that process is. Hopefully clearing shorts is more permanent.
The 6U8 held up really well, I remember RCA color sets with about six 6GH8a's and they would all be leaky.
More has gotta be better, I love it! Great video and 4K looks great.

We had one like that when I was young.
Interesting how you remove g1 shorts
i suppose it discharges a capacitor through the short..??
That tv has a nice monochrome picture and probably worth restoring.. A lot of these b&w sets had a bluish hue to them.
I don't know where you find these televisions anymore they all seemed to fade away I don't see them advertise in Florida
Like Morty Seinfeld's raincoats...
Would've never thought portable television's were around back then
Your video made me hungry. I want my smokeless grill!
I’m quite a bit older than this tv, and my knees are giving out. Could it be bad caps?!
Probably dried out, have a couple of beers.
Bad knee caps.
I watch on a cheap 42 inch HD (not 4K) TV over Roku. Your 4K recording looks spectacular.
Thanks for the 4k look awesome

18:01 Definitely a permanent fix, since the little chunk of stuff that got lodged between the G1 and cathode structures and shorted them got zapped to bits by the multiple charges ;-) from your CRT rejuver, and since the set was on it's face when you zapped it, whatever bits of stuff that got blown out from between G1 and cathode most likely fell down through the neck and into the main body of the CRT, far away from the gun area.... the little remaining micro-bits probably made little microscopic dings in the screen phosphors when they landed... lol :-D
iPad Pro; the big one. On full screen; so the 4K is actually doing something (it’s not a full 4K display but it’s better than 1080p).
I'm 60, and although I actually enjoy & use a lot of the things phones can do these days, video watching is NOT one of them. Desktop 4K monitor here.
i watched this on 720p as my computer is from 2006
