Thanks for watching my video!
just got a sharp aquos 20inch portable LCD set on freecycle for my retro theme sleaper build and Im watching this video on it right now as I type this comment!
That is awesome! Love that I can be seen on someone's tv, running my own show. Kind of a boyhood dream...lol. Yes the Sharp Aquos is a very solid TV line. My dad bought a 60 inch back in 2010. We were blown away by the LED picture we got with it. Sharp is definitely underrated as a brand! Thanks for watching!
Good to see these. 🇬🇧
I've picked up so many over the past 5 years that I don't pick them up unless they are Sony or some very good name brand. Thanks for watching!
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. Years ago, I managed to find a second hand Citizen TC-53 VHF/UHF hand held portable analogue TV., similar size to your Casio. The advantages were that the Citizen had manual tuning, no mute and was quite powerful with catching signals. The one problem was after a bit of use, the dial pointer froze and despite still being able to tune the channels, it was difficult to work out which channel was which. Also, there are no AV inputs or even an external antenna input. This seems to be a fault that happens in that particular model. Unfortunately, once analogue was switched off the TV became virtually unusable, unless connected to a digital box. The output on the TV allows reception on the TV to be recorded to a VCR, which is reverse to the standard way to record. One portable TV that works quite well with a digital set top box is the Toshiba C-531 VHF/UHF TV. Using a small adjustable antenna filter may lower the signal interference. The only problem with the Toshiba is after time the on/off switch won't work as well. The way around it is to leave the switch on and operate it from the power point.
Wow, thank you for your feedback. It looks like you've done your own research and evaluation of portable tv's. Back in the day, I never owned a portable TV myself because I had a TV in every room in our house. Plus I never saw a portable TV with good reception or worth buying. I have to look into that Citizen you mentioned. Thanks for sharing.
@@joelsdiy9469 I actually found the Citizen analogue pocket TV in a cash converters story while visiting Albury NSW years ago. For a TV of its size, the reception was quite good. No mute at all and all manual tuning, which made it absolutely perfect for my use.
@@viewermc9128 Actually you are correct. My first Citizen TV-53 was bought at Cash converters at Albury NSW while on holiday. After it had tuning problems, I managed to get another one on eBay, though later that suffered the same problem. They are still useful, if set up with a localized low power transmission of an analogue signal from a video recorder or similar.

Io c'è l'ho ancora ,e ha una ricezione incredibile ,anche in auto .
Da quando in italia siamo passati al digitale ,e finita in un cassetto .
You can always clip the antenna with an alligator clip and feed it into the center of a 75 ohm balen then to an outdoor antenna or directly to a digital TV tuner. I forgot there are no analog TV signals. 73
9:49 the sega genesis and sega master system take RF so it would work on here... pretty cool!
Great collection there!!
the 3 leads AV cables have different standards. there's a great video made by vwestlife testing a couple of them. you might want test plugging mismatching colors to have it working properly.
The distortion may be not enough power from the supply. Because the fail goes bad with the hi volume.
I am waiting a TV set of 6 inches branded as "Atashi" to arrive. So I am watching TV sets trying to find one in working condition.
No idea what how damage is, I paid low price, because it was as the picture shows.
Nice collection. Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻
I appreciate you watching my video! I used the stock power supply so I am not sure if it is that. Usually you would get distortion if the power is too high. Thanks for the advise!
I had a similar issue and I used a generic laptop power supply with a barrel jack and it fixed everything
the artstar one can be found under many different brand names, It is a very common 6 inch TV from Korea.
Thanks for that insight!
I love all abaut crt's.
Thanks for watching!
5:32 i need to find one of those. Im watching your full video now i didn't have time to watch it all the other day cuz my kids call me all day :) glad u made a comment back cuz i was wondering how u make the tv work without the colored av cables to hook up to stuff
You should watch my video on making your own DIY analogue tv station. I go into depth on how to make this work. th-cam.com/video/j53bZ6MuxJQ/w-d-xo.html
Muchas gracias
my Brother friend Christ has a small portable TV, they place it on the ground and they lay on their stomach in their sleeping bag and watch something on the small TV.
The last tv has the timer and the auto mode so you dont have to switch the inputs manually
thanks for letting me know and for watching my video!
You need to mess with the cabels on the memorix
Thanks for the video i learned a lot i didnt know :) sorry about too many comments i left :)
No worries! Glad I helped. Don't mind the comments, it makes me happy that someone is enjoying my videos.
Oooh where did you get the converter for the external antenna? I have a portable tv and I really want to find a use for it since the end in analog tv in 2009. Could you link it if you got it online? Also is the box that you hook the tv up to a cable box? Thank you!
I found it on Amazon. It is basically a mono 3.5mm plug to coaxial. Here is the link: www.amazon.com/Fancasee-Adapter-Coupler-Converter-Connector/dp/B07R3B2Q38/ref=sr_1_5?crid=26WHN7M55F8JS&keywords=portable+tv+plug+mono&qid=1642367527&sprefix=portable+tv+plug+mono%2Caps%2C126&sr=8-5
@@joelsdiy9469 Thanks!
I subscribed to ur channel i would love to pick up a mini tv someday!
Awesome! Thank you! They are kind of cool, specially the ones in color. Thanks for watching!
@@joelsdiy9469 its hard to come across these tvs i found 3, 1 was color but the guy on fb market never replies to no one maybe hes on vacation! The other 3 do not have that white and yellow av plug in the only have a plug in called ANT i think thats antenna not sure if we can use those tvs to hook up consoles like sega or snes.... i have a channel to if you like please subscribe i would love to find a tiny tv someday :)
@@segagirladventurespico Yeah no problem! Love to support your channel. Have you tried Goodwill or Thrift stores? They get them all the time. Unfortunately I had to get rid these a while back because I upgraded to some Sony portables. Thanks for watching!
@@joelsdiy9469 i read the box its called digital stream. I need a antena i will have to post in my new videos some tvs i came across on fb market (photos) maybe someone knows something about them because on my ig not many people knew how to hook up a sega to them...
@@joelsdiy9469 yes i go to the thrift store but i never look at the wire section next time i go i will film our wire area in Canada i dont see many great wires lol
Nice!
20:49 thats what MOST of the mini tvs i found ALWAYS just have thats what i wasnt sure if you can use to hook up my sega... still watching!
You can make your own RF signal to broadcast on the tv or you can use an av to rf to convert the signal. Personally I use my own rf signal so that tvs stay portable.
@@joelsdiy9469 oh that is high tech stuff i have no clue what u just said lol but cool! I thought RF is just a wire a cable you connect a console to the tv using RF . Is RF like cable antenna?
In house whee I ive I picked up CATV leak with Baofeng and I wonder if those type of TVs could pick up too
It depends. Usually these tvs can pickup, UHF/VHF. Give it a try. Maybe it might work? Let me know.
@@joelsdiy9469 I should find one of those because I picked up CATV leak on 477.740 MHz and 517.760 MHz, but analog tv I have in home have scan option and while scanning it skips those frequencies because when it's scanning it goes from 477 to 478 and 517 to 518 MHz you get the idea
I'd check to see if the sound / horizontal distortion might be caused by bad, or leaky filter electrolytic capacitors in the B+ section. They may be going bad. The power supply for sure must be of adequate mA, well filtered DC. Just a possibility.
Yeah that's a good point I'm sure the electrolytic capacitors need replaced. Probably will help the picture as well. 73
Action is the best of yours TVs
Absolutely!
where I can by tv like that
They pop up from time to time in thrift stores. It’s been since I seen any in my area. But you might want to look up some for sale locally. I would probably pass on ordering them from ebay. Most times they won’t ship them. Thanks for watching!
The memorex set audio is probably distorted by the power brick becouse it is cheap and
I agree, they probably tried to make as many of these as possible before they finally did away with CRTs. Thanks for watching!
What is that converter Jack called? I’m talking about the one from the converter box.
3.5mm to f-type connector
The action tv is from 1993 I think
Very cool. It definitely felt like it was for sometime in the 90s. I've gotten rid of all these TVs except for the best one of the lot. Thanks for watching!
3:06 It's Korean 👍
Pries sir
That one colour tv try a power supply with a higher mA
Not sure if that was a good idea since the higher the wattage the noisier the TV. That’s just my experience.
Is it called DTV TUNER? 5:30 where do u buy such thing?
At the thrift store. People used to use them on old tvs that didn’t have A/V ports. They are pretty common. I think their called A/V to Coaxial converters.
I got it at a goodwill. You just need av cables and an antenna.
@@joelsdiy9469 at goodwill i will have to search for that box thing still watching your video crazy day kids my mom shouting lol
@@joelsdiy9469 i heard of that name from someone on my instagram i wasnt sure what it was since i dont know the name of different wires yet. I only know RF and AV cables:) tks for the info! I still dont have a mini tv i have the 10inch tv will have to do a video on all our tvs :) someday
@@joelsdiy9469 nice! I will keep my eye out my competition is big here in Canada its me (a lady) against soo many men who re selle and collect cable/wires gaming collectors most are men in my area lol havent met a lady gamer yet but there around somewhere!
I don't think the Action ACN-5503 is true vintage 80s
Perhaps, but it was released over 15 years ago, so maybe in another 5 years it will be considered an antique? Thanks for watching my video!
The artstar is korean
Thanks for sharing! I bought this at my local thrift store and they definitely have some unique pieces!
Hello. I buy and sell video games for a living. So I need to have a small portable TV preferably that runs on its own batteries (optional) but a TV that has composite inputs so that I can test the game systems that I'm buying off of people like at a Starbucks connected to a jumper box in the trunk of my car or on a table.
Can you give me a list of your top 5 or 10 smallest and best quality portable CRT TVs that either run on their own batteries or are just regular style but that (have composite inputs a must) so that I can connect like a Nintendo 64 on to it but some of the smallest ones and the best ones that you can recommend please?
Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon.
Thank you.
Sounds like a good idea for a video. The thing is that CRT tvs are not manufactured anymore so its hard for me to recommend anything new. If I had to choose a good brand for a portable tv, I would go Sony or Canon any day. They were well built and usually gives good picture. Have you thought about looking into portable LCD or LED screens? You can find great ones at the Goodwill or some thrift stores that cost less than $30. Thanks for watching my video.
Похож!
Sar please give me one tv m married
....televizori est, a vescianija na takix diapazonax net...sliskom bistro zagnuli s etim ciprovaniem, mozno bilo dobavit kakix 10 let, xotia...seicias toze est malenkija sovremennija perenosnija televizori...
Ahhh ahhh haha hhhhhahhhhh ah
Glad I amused you!
