shango066, that record deck spun for ages, good lube. I think the colour decoder needed a clean up, all that crud must of messed up the more sensitive areas. Bloody good video, as always :-)
Glad you did post it! My CTC-39XL was having the exact same color issues (before high voltage cup started arcing out 🙃). Kinda wish you could've investigated it a bit further so it might narrow it down for me 😅! That being said, I'm glad you mentioned the .01's being problematic, I just assumed they were good bc they were mylar. Same for the crystal. BTW, do you happen to remember what kind of grease you used? I've got a GE turntable that's a little slow and greasing it might be all I need
What a nice set you got there, would love to get hold of one. Sadly it is very rare to find one of those on the street, even more so on my country haha.
My mother cried when her Magnavox console color tv/AM/FM/Phonograph/tv stoped working for the last time. Charlie the TV repairman had kept the baby going for over 10 years for my mother. He was over repairing that TV so often that Charlie became like a family member.
Isnt it amazing that in the old days TV's were so low to the ground but were comfortable to watch, yet today theyre freakin 6feet from the damn floor and you get neckache
This video was all fun and games until the dumpster TV I was watching this on went up in smoke. Kind of a fitting end to a free TV. The spirit of Shango "EOL"ed my TV through the internet.
Many years ago I used to repair and sell TV's for a living. That big console is exactly what a lot of people used to buy when they lived up on the upper floors of an apartment building. Then we would have to carry it up several flights of stairs to deliver it. And then if it ever needed service it would have to come down the stairs again and then after it was fixed we would have to carry it back up all those stairs again.
This is what I like to call "Shango-tainment" - a delight to watch - and what's more, it's a zillion times better than anything aired on regular TV at present. You make even the toughest problems look easy to solve in all your videos. Wishing you and your family a safe and Happy Xmas plus a Super New Year. :-)
Because every tech needs to know how to service a picture bulb set while a train goes by in the distance. Being able to concentrate while police sirens wail at the same time, is a definite plus, and will aid the service technician immensely. 🤠
1:01:45 I did the HVAC design another house for an obscenely rich person that had one of those glass car elevators. All that did was elevate his car from the garage level to the master bed level, only about 13 feet higher, where he stepped out to go into his bedroom thru the master bath. There are windows between there and the lift. I won't even tell you about the house I just got done for a certain football team owner... that is waaaaay over the top. Anyway, I grew up with one of those big old console stereo/TVs in the living room. My dad got it in 1970, right before the '71 earthquake - we lived in Saugus at the time. Wish I could have pulled the tube stereo part out of that out when my parents finally got rid of it, really did sound great.
I'm screaming "Turn down the blue drive!" at my cheap Insignia flat screen right now. Haha! Here's a shortcut a veteran showed me for setting screens and drives. First, display a white raster on your VG-91. Then, throw the service switch, and follow the instructions you just did about the CRT or Kine bias adjustment. Adjust the screen controls until the line just disappears. If you have a white or gray line, your screens are too high. You shouldn't see anything if you did it right. The CRT is just on the threshold of firing at this point. After you've done this, put the service switch back to normal, and adjust the drives until you achieve a white raster. You usually have to adjust blue and red to match green, which isn't usually adjustable. The 'screens' adjust the blacks, the 'drives,' the whites. I LOVE what you do on here, and I hope my advice helps you later on :) Keep up the good work.
It’s great to see you put life back into these old TV 📺 thank you sir as I like to see what you chaps had in U.S 🇺🇸 we in the uk 🇬🇧 don’t see these old tv’s stay safe 👏👏👍
40:28 It is often said that our (old TV standard NTSC meant "Never The Same Color". ) Anyway thanks for another great video Shango, I always enjoy watching you troubleshoot these vintage TV's and radios...
Good save. With the department store EOLs going on, nice to see the store brand stuff living on. It would be a neat trick to walk up to the Sephora makeup counter at JCP with that burned out circuit breaker and ask for a replacement! 😂 I've got some old TV parts around here somewhere, I'm gonna try it!
Until I was 10 years old this was a similar model we used at home. Instead of a tape deck we had a phonograph. My brother and I would ride our bikes to Radio Shack to buy replacement tubes.
What a beautiful piece of furniture, well done for giving it a new home considering it takes up so much room. Shango i just love your pig latin comments when talking to call centres, keep all that coming its gold. would love to see some more transistor radio diagnosis and fix, the zenith 7000 vid was just brilliant.
I watched Elvis Presley Life from Hawaii on this set. The signal went from Hawaii to Satellites in space to my Fancy Modern Television!!! as soon as I finish paying this tv off, I am going to get one of those fancy Plasma tv’s I hear about
Very Interesting Shango ! I like how you analytically diagnose the problem and show us what you did to get it to work again. Better than Nova ! haha ! When you stopped on the Munster's show, I said yeah ! Good old Black a White ! lol ! I remember watching The Wizard of OZ, for years as a kid, and never knew it was in color when Dorothy landed in Oz ! haha ! Not having a color set, didn't matter. Man how life has changed. Thanks ! NMC.
that tapedeck is a Hitachi TRQ 252D (or something very similar). I have this deck. Pretty reliable for its age (around 1972). The VU needles moving and clicking is because the Playback/Record switch is dirty. Haven't fixed mine yet though, because if you twitch the Record button a little, it goes away and I've had tons of decks that were in more desparate need of this switch cleaning and I don't have the time.
My favorite part was when the test tone was allowed to pierce my eardrums several different times, for several minutes. Watched all hour and a half of it.
Great video I knew it was gain from the beginning but I bet you did too but it's good to go over the symptoms as well as the fix so people learn great video and great detail.
the tape deck looks to be built like a tank. 1973 I think folks were done with the large combo units and this must be one of the last of them made. By 74 Dad had moved our CM combo unit into the garage. He purchased a new Curtis Mathis set for the house, Solid State set I think made by NEC. It ran forever. Thanks Shango!
Awesome. I've always had a love for old tube equipment. I grew up with this stuff when it was new. I have a 1954 zenith AM FM phonograph console. Was my great uncle's. Never overhauled, lots of tubes, and it all works great. I call it old RELIABLE!! 65 years old and still working.
Stayed through the whole thing! I'm glad someone wants it who will enjoy it. Yeah, today's TV content is must NOT see TV. Munsters are pretty cool though.
1:00:45 About 7 years ago now, I worked on an HVAC remodel on a 13 acre house/compound for a billionaire here in Vegas. He wanted a pool in the basement of the existing sports building. I had to figure out how to get the dehumidifying units to serve that area from the high roof some 25 feet higher. That was an interesting project for a very eccentric guy. Oh, and the original 35,000 sq ft house wasn't big enough, he had to add 2,500 sq ft, which was mostly the new master bedroom - just the bedroom. Old bedroom became the new walk in closet. lol
Witam i pozdrawiam!!Podziwiam twoja wiedzę z napraw odbiorników telewizyjnych na waszym terenie!Przyrządy to nie wszystko,trzeba dużo cierpliwości aby dany telewizor znowu zagrał!Przed naprawa powinna być jakaś kolejność jej wykonania, zanieczyszczone jego wnętrze trzeba pierw dokładnie oczyścić z kurzu potem sprawdzić wizualnie następnie pomiary zasilacza, układ zarzenia lamp ich styki,także układy wspomagajace działanie zasilacza,następnie korekcja obrazu jeśli jest wskazana i układ wysokiego napięcia,stare kondensatory elektrolity wymienia się,sprawdzić dokładnie napięcia na poszczególnych działach kineskopu!!Pokaz Video okej!!
We had an all tube 26" Grundig (German) multiband vhf/UHF set that weighed a ton but even that was dwarfed by the sheer cabinetry here... This one's beautiful alright!
I see the color bars at 38:22 which were used on early Columbia Pictures Home Entertainment releases from 1979 through 1981 which were on VHS and Betamax as you can tell by one of the VHS closings.
Shango it ain,t right like you said but for as old as it is it,s doing good..Like watching what you do.Radio and TV was like magic when I was young.I used to stay up the tube jockeys but when he did tv service.
Thank you for both of the recent videos. It brightened what was a down time for me. What does that say about this time of the year for me? Aloha and thanks again
Shango, when you switch the modes on the signal generator, it's more enjoyable than most of the stuff on broadcast TV. Oh Spectrum, and Satellite. I would love to pay $100 a month to watch commercials!!
2 & 1/2 men comes on. “Ok , I don’t want any of this crap” *changes channel* Hyundai commercial comes on. *sarcastically* “Oh YEAH Bring in that Korean Junk” - I love this humor!
Oh.... your playing with Fire ...... YT gonna slap your hands for longer than 9 seconds. Good for you and too bad for them. How many bucks in royalties do they need? A bizillion I know. JC Penney. What a great company they were. Everything in the US is spoken of in past tense. But for the time period it was a good set/ console. Then I heard a rich friends parents McIntosh. Iusted for that incredible sound afterwards. Won’t settle for less now. I just repair used ones. Still the best, still made in America.
Mackintosh, with an Emm Ay Cee Kay if you please lol ;) I have to admit I prefer a more raw, lo-fi sound myself but still I find myself running with a B&O 8802
No wonder they wanted it. Its a Wells Gardener ! Not a bad chassis. Very rare in NE, just some Pennys & Bradfords. Also they sold some under there own name. Pissah set LFOD !
The first time I heard Eric Clapton’s band, “Cream” was on a neighbor’s Magnavox console Stereo/TV .. I can still hear/feel Ginger Baker’s drumming on the left channel, playing “Sunshine of Your Love” …
Set was made by Wells-Gardner, Chicago. Looks like their all tube modular chassis, if I remember correctly they made a hybrid and all solid state chassis too. Been a long time since I've fixed any of these.
Company's been around forever. I've worked as a tech for several arcade companies. Personal favorite monitor to work on is usually Well's. (Simple in design and easy to diag.)
@@olradguy I used to carry the re-cap kits in my normal stock, and can pick out a cold solder joint on the flyback in seconds. I'm still in the industry as a tech and manager at this point. Everything is flat panel now. What few CRT setups I do have are made by Kortek. I still see a few WG's from time to time, but it's rare. Worst one I've ever worked with was made by a company called "Sharper Image" I never found out if they are/where related to the "Sharper Image" line of cheesy electronic devices. That make was used in the deluxe cabinet games (Think back to the old Primal Rage 33" cabinet) Spent toooo much time re-soldering cracked joints at the flybacks, and in one case jumper wiring EVER-THING the flyback was attached to. The entire thing cracked itself loose from the monitor board. Total junk. Fixable yes.... But junk
good start to a vid, sparks comming from the high voltage bit from the crt, mind you we are on shango066 channel so that is normal, also this is either a lost video that youtube hates as its loooooong and not popuar, or this is a customers tv set as shango066 only goes after these for parts,
That's the one we always had to deliver to the second floor through a window cause it wouldn't fit the stairs.when it quits a sledgehammer makes it go out easier.😁ours were Magnavox .
That sparking happens after a dry spell atop utility poles. Dust on the ceramic insulators and humidity leads to enough conductivity to cause wood poles to smolder and some to begin burning.
26:17 - Contrast all the way up, because it was probably run that way for a decade or more. On CRT rigs I never run contrast/drive more than 2/3 of the way up. On a relatively low mileage newer(post-2000) tube TV, I turn contrast down from factory max to the mid-point(50 on the numeric scale), and adjust brightness(bias) from that base point
1:26:33 - Just try to find “Paint It, Black” in stereo on ANY consumer compact disc release! I have an ATCO CD issue of ‘Aftermath’ by the Stones and nearly every song on that CD in stereo except - you guessed it - THIS one! 🤦♂️ I had to purchase a crappy download of the stereo version from Amazon! The stereo version I’ve heard on the radio was cut just for broadcast, and is available only on albums such as the one Shango found on this combo
i sure miss the days of tvs and stereos being part of furniture. granted i love my 60 in led tv still doesnt look as pretty as these old school cabinets do.
Video from 2017 I never thought was worth publishing but something the new owner needs to see... glad its got a new loving home
shango066 2017 makes sense. I was wondering why the analog LPTV was still on the air...
It was worth publishing
shango066, that record deck spun for ages, good lube.
I think the colour decoder needed a clean up, all that crud must of messed up the more sensitive areas.

two videos in just one week, it's like it's nearly Christmas, and it's a long video, just what I wanted, only 2 mins 50secs into video,
It’s great to see you put life back into these old TV 📺 thank you sir as I like to see what you chaps had in U.S 🇺🇸 we in the uk 🇬🇧 don’t see these old tv’s stay safe 👏👏👍
Wonder if there are any over here in the uk ? And if so would they still run with a step down transformer? Surely at least someone has imported one ?
Would love to try a zenith or something
40:28 It is often said that our (old TV standard NTSC meant "Never The Same Color". ) Anyway thanks for another great video Shango, I always enjoy watching you troubleshoot these vintage TV's and radios...
And in Europe PAL was "picture always lousy". Wonder if they did anything for SECAM?
NTSC is "Never Twice the Same Color"
I love to watch a Shango066 video in the morning...It looks like VICTORY!
But what does it smell like?
I love the smell of Fenol resin in the morning

Really enjoyed this. Thanks for uploading it.
that was worth publishing . hope you do a LIVE repair and diagnosis one day or night . that would be cool . thanks for the vid shango

A rave is a great term for what you just deeply and emotionally described.
MAN, your green is OLIVE DRAB!!! Takes me back to my old Army days in the very early 1970's, well from 70 to 78 to tell the truth.
Those consoles were IT back in that era! Color TV, phonograph, and am-fm tuner plus some usually decent speakers!
25:26 "We now return control of your television set, until next time when the Control Voice takes you to...THE OUTER LIMITS"
Este console com TV merece ser restaurado eu tive um da Standard Electric era TV radio e toca discos. Abraço! Rio de Janeiro Brazil
My grandfather used to work the mainframes at J.C. Penny's
That is single-handedly the biggest tv I've ever seen
It's a beast, but some rear-projection sets from the '90s were in the same range.
We had an all tube 26" Grundig (German) multiband vhf/UHF set that weighed a ton but even that was dwarfed by the sheer cabinetry here... This one's beautiful alright!
Great video. I think the news helicopter like your video too.
great video to watch thanks.
Wooded cabinets though! those were the days.

All the right ingredients in that party.
17:16 Power consumption... that is one area where the transistor beats tubes. That being said, I still prefer the sound of tubes.
Be prepared to have certain "Audio Experts" personally attack you for "preferring distortion to accuracy or the truth".
@@billdang3953 Ha ha - yeah I know, “tubes are the sound of distortion” 😆
And this is why familys lived in same house for generations.. Moving would be hell
I'm very surprised this had tubes in 1973. Pretty much everything was moving towards solid state by then.
That's the one we always had to deliver to the second floor through a window cause it wouldn't fit the stairs.when it quits a sledgehammer makes it go out easier.😁ours were Magnavox .

Epic choice of tunes 🔥🔥📺🔥🔥😂
agreed. maybe its too soon, but oh well. :)
26:17 - Contrast all the way up, because it was probably run that way for a decade or more. On CRT rigs I never run contrast/drive more than 2/3 of the way up. On a relatively low mileage newer(post-2000) tube TV, I turn contrast down from factory max to the mid-point(50 on the numeric scale), and adjust brightness(bias) from that base point
What a nice matsushita made set
Any TV that gets EOL’ed by Shango066 is a TV that never has to show anything with any Kardashans.

1:26:33 - Just try to find “Paint It, Black” in stereo on ANY consumer compact disc release! I have an ATCO CD issue of ‘Aftermath’ by the Stones and nearly every song on that CD in stereo except - you guessed it - THIS one! 🤦♂️
I had to purchase a crappy download of the stereo version from Amazon!
The stereo version I’ve heard on the radio was cut just for broadcast, and is available only on albums such as the one Shango found on this combo
That changer is an early to mid-1970s VM...one of their last designs before they went out of business.
