What a nice, talented man. We need so many more of these craftsmen. He is a treasure. Reminds me of my dad, who did his work off-hours in our basement. He could fix anything electronic from the 1940s to the day he passed away 11 years ago.
Aww, god bless his soul. He seems to be so passionate about his job. I wish I have a job where I can be happy and smiling doing what I love like how he does.
In 1984 I earned my diploma in this. Not only was I taught solid state sets, we were taught tube sets. If you think you like listening to CDs you should hear the same music on vinyl or reel to reel coming through a tube amplifier. Talk about a warm rich sound. I also still have my tools.
Often in progress, much of what we came from and the means of the journey is left behind. Some this is all for the better, others, for the worse. Love it or hate it, Television is sadly increasingly one of those goods left behind. Sure the modern units are nice and all, but there are some works of art and entertainment key to our journey's history, that the modern machines do a disservice to. That for these things we need to take a step back, to take many more forward. My hat is off to Mr. Chi-Tien Lui for his work in this corner of keeping the history we should never forget, a living history.
That's something at the age of 20 I've been doing as well. I love repairing vintage electronics TV's, game systems, stereo's. But i fear that won't be anything more then a personal hobby and that the work isn't gonna be there in a 10-20 years.
It's scary how quickly CRT maintenance is becoming a lost art. Only a decade or two ago everyone was staring at tubes... now it's *rare* to see one. There are a few old-school CRT repair and restoration shops around, but it really is rapidly becoming a lost art form. Here is one museum trying to save the last few CRT rebuild machines + skills: earlytelevision.org/first_museum_crt_rebuild.html
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about how to repair electronics devices try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System (just google it ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.
To wake up, do what rocks your world all day and then go to bed afterwards knowing you get to do it all again the next morning is a beautiful way to live.
Very nice video do you know if the early television 1929 rca and Telefunken sets used VHF the same as what a modern VCR or DVD player can be played in threw channel 4 or 3
I need to get him to fix this small TV I got from a yard sale...I think it's from the early 70s...bulb turns on but...I can't get it to display an image.
On the side... Or below it. I got to know who's countin', but it- Hell, or... Below it. (What what what what what what-) Only for the right- (Whatcha doin' there?) Oooooh~ Cheeseburger Family Man, I love a simple boy. Arigato, family. I'll be good 'til the better time.

The work he's done has been amazing, thru the decades. Watching these kinda films makes me feel happy

A nice short film about a true innovator, disciplined technician, and artist.

I hope I like my job as much as he does one day. Good for him.
My grandfather has been a TV repairman for the past 50+ years in Puerto Rico.
This man is truly living the American dream.
Content like this is exactly why I'm subscribed to this channel. Fascinating stuff.
This was an interesting look at how TV has evolved
KeLion Pro not really what this video was about...

This is a wonderful story that I would have never heard if not for this amazing channel.
I'm 17 and one of my favorite hobbies is to fix radios 1970 and below.
James Luck you'll be a good technician or engineer one day then
James Luck Just don't try to fix them in the bathtub and you'll be fine. 😉
Maybe you will be... lucky ...and get to meet Mr. Lui.

How much experience and knowledge in his hands that time will take forever.
He literally turned his profession into art
I hope he has someone who learns from him, who then knows how to do all this.

What do you mean like olden days?, they haven't changed their format at all lol.
Tim Tam's No actually some of their videos are directed as if CNN's threatening them to be biased or something. If you observe closely...
