I've got one of those sets I got from my friend's estate 16 years ago. Hasn't been turned on since. You can have it if you want it. I'm eating a ham and cheese on the same bread. Killer!
Watching these videos is very educational, but I'm also noticing you get a good glimpse into Shango's life. He's hard working, diligent, and eager to help out friends in need. God bless you Shango, you're improving the lives of those around you.
Shango would be a great neighbor. Not many folks these days would run over to help with a broken pipe. From fixing tvs and radios to cars and pipes..he does it all.
So true, Repairathon with Shango or New Year with plastic people living in a synthesized plastic drug enhanced advertising world pretending to have fun. Shango every time for me. I bet Shango has a more fulfilled life judging by his YT channels. Electronic repair, automotive and mine exploring. What has America come to when it's population prefers advertising and gangster rap to the frontier experience Shango gives to the world, unfortunately wokism has infected too many people via TV and media. 🇺🇸
I agree completely. Its just an excuse for people be loud,drunk and obnoxious and make "resolutions" they never keep. Each year we have people firing guns into the air,shooting fireworks etc.
Me gusto mucho tu video, soy de Venezuela , y gracias a tus videos he reparado radios de tubos y televisores que he coleccionado comprando por EBay , y televisores de estado sólido como Sony trinitron, ; tus videos son los mejores tengo 30 años pero me apasiona la electrónica antigua.
Amigo,hay convertadores por sus televisores desde la ATSC a la sistema que su pais utilice? Are there converters from NTSC to the present standard used in your country?
Thanks for the comment on ESR testers and how they are not 100% to be relied on. I fell hard into this trap couldn't figure out what was wrong with a device that appeared to have obvious capacitor problems. Finally I tested the capacitance, and it was very low.
I like the little TV. Could have been a kitchen set or for a kid's bedroom. In 1970 my parents got me a 12 inch Sanyo B&W set. Loved it. Dad traded it in along with a 17 inch Motorola from the early 60's that my brother had (Had the UHF tuner on the side instead of on top with the VHF tuner) to buy me a 15 inch RCA color portable in 1978. Wish he hadn't traded those two in. They were good TV's.
Great video as always! I had a chance at a 60's, I believe it was a Sunbeam?, AM Radio, alarm clock(if I remember right) 14" or so tv, some years ago, and it was tubes, in a big portable plastic cabinet at an antique mall center about 150 miles from me. Similar in function to the older Emerson 1232 portable AM radio/TV combo from the 50's, but much bigger. It was called a "Slumber Time" set or something. No price tag on the set. I wanted to buy the thing right away, but, the luck that sometimes happens to me got in the way. The owner of the booth was no where to be found. I went to the front desk and they paged him, no answer. They then said they would call his phone number, but no answer there either, so they left a a message. I went and perused the rest of the mall, probably about 40 minutes or so, and then came back to the desk. No callback, and still no answer to his phone. By that time I had to give up, as it was time to drive back home, and I knew I wouldn't be able to travel up there again for at least 6 months. Wound up going up there a year later, and of course it was gone. Never saw another set like that before or since. I've missed out on sets before, and will miss out on them again, it's the way it goes. But it gets frustrating at times.
When I was I high school early 90s I saw Penn and Teller live and afterwards they invited the audience to a nearby parking lot to pre tape a NYE thing and when it aired on NYE a week later it seemed like it was live to the TV audience.
There's a chance that the water pressure in the neighbor's house is too high. If it's an older house it might not have a pressure regulator. The optimal pressure for a residence is 40 to 50 psi. Once, they upgraded the water lines in my neighborhood and all of a sudden, the new water heater blew its pressure overload. I called the plumber and he checked the pressure and it was 150 psi, I told the city, but they didn't believe me it could be that high. I installed a pressure regulator and set it to 45 psi, haven't had any problems since.
Hey I like that! What a great piece of Sears history there. I love the design. What a work of art and electronics! I remember seeing one of these many years ago at an antique shop and they would not sell it. You can set one of these anywhere and it never looks out of place. Well, maybe now, but these absolutely have a great look! I hope you can get the soft picture issue and the radio squared away and have this one to enjoy. I know I certainly would. Great Video On This Sears!!! cheers! 🍻
Wow. One of these “combo” sets where the clock actually works! Usually the clock on those things have checked out and not returned… much like wax-paper capacitors. 😊
In the early 80s, I had the same problem with an early 70s Sears TV. It turned out to be the vertical output transistor. Ordered the part and schematic from Sears, had them within a week. Really miss that company.
My grandparents in Brazil had one very much like that set but it had a gray cabinet, not wood. It worked until grandpa died in 1992; after that I don't know what happened to it but I remember he still used it in the bedroom.
When capacitors test ok ESR but significantly higher in value, it's most often because they are electrically leaky, as if you tacked a resistor in parallel. It happens due to the way testers charge them and time things to determine the value. When you see that, def replace them, as it will throw off bias and cause all kinds of issues.
Love watching your work, and the feeling you see the world with a similar level of suspicion as I do. Like government and society that do not come with schematics, are deficient and glitchy.
I wish they made such combo items these days. An apartment dweller in a small apartment could really use such a thing(Even with an LCD and an ATSC tuner.
Looks like a hotel tv sets with lots of hours. Very informative and educational video always enjoy your channel and learn something new. Maybe use the crape erase on the crt to remove the blurry images:) thanks Mike
Thanks A LOT Buddy ! I was laughing soooo hard at your new years dinner , then the wife went shopping today !! NOW I Got Daves cement mix bread and runny organic peanut butter , and GOD Knows what the jam is made of !! Hey , Nice Video ! Thanks.
Hi.. happy New Year....now sometime when you have some time get a copy or maybe an online print of Antique Radio Classified June 1999. There is an article in it by a Mister Ray Bintliff called... Adventures in RCA TV Land. He describes what it was like in 1946 when TV first took off in post WW2 period in NYC. He describes converting Pre War TRK- series tvs to the new frequencies so people could use them to jump start TV. He seen TRKs in his sleep as he converted so many. He worked in a RCA shop in Queens that previously housed a butcher shop. He also describes what it was like when RCAs first post World War model 630TS came out. And orders came in a mile high! This has to be one of the finest articles that Antique Radio Classified ever put out.
That 1ufd cap couples a sync signal to excite the oscillator into starting synchronizing the vertical kind of like some GE color sets use the burst to excite the 3.58 crystal to oscillate simplifying the tint circuit
Happy New year, shango066, and everyone else,before it's too late,to say it.2025 will be a real challenge, as i want Explore the World of transistors,for future transistor radio repairs.
I don't think the capacitors at 25:00 went up in value, I think it has to do with how multimeters check them. I've explained that in my video on multimeters. They measure the charge time for a constant current. High leakage increases the charge time, causing a higher reading. I usually check their resistance and it is somewhere in the 10s of MegOhms. The resistance range is better than the diode range for testing leakage, since it can usually detect huge resistances that are "invisible" to the diode range.
Interesting all in one set, a real "bachelor's special", but since you got several, maybe they were hotel sets or something. Honestly I think they're pretty neat and I'm sure they weren't cheap at the time. They very much have that "made in Japan" look of the time too. The speaker grille and knobs are so of Japanese electronics of the time. That you got it working being as it's 45 years old is pretty good. This stuff was never considered to last so long when it was made.
I don't think the capacitors were shorted, but they probably were leaky, which is why the apparent capacitance went up when measuring them. wonder what the DC resistance was across them
Yes. Very ofter that chinese tester shows much higher capacity, but in fact its just leaky capacitor. Because it use RC method to measure capacity, any leak will raise the capacity value, but its indicated by high Vloss. If you use bridge, capacity will be near the original value.
It's interesting that a Sears 1969 Console is all solid state (except the picture tube) but my 1972 12" Sears B&W set uses tubes. I guess the console was considered a premium product. Always a great weekend when you drop a new video. Happy New Year.
Sears kept (at least partial) tube sets in the catalog until 1975 for price reasons. You could get a tube set for like $69.95 while a solid-state B&W set of the same size was probably $99.95. I don't remember the catalog pricing off the top of my head lol.
Great set too. I would have loved a set like this when I was a kid. I had a modern equivalent. It had an AM/FM Radio, Alarm Clock, and 5” B/W TV. Alaron branded. Think the Sony Mega Watchman in terms of style.

I've got one similar to this but it's a Westinghouse. Also has a phonograph on top. Cool little 12-in set with similar features except it is fully tube except for the radio.
Good to see someone with a lot of enthusiasm at fixing that piece of junk! Looks like a frame collapse problem, maybe a faulty resistor or as you mentioned a dud capacitor or capacitors ! I f in doubt sacrifice it to the TRASH HEEP . NICE 👍
Your comment about Pringles made laugh. When Pringles first came out they called them "New Fangled Potato Chips" on the tube. They later had to change that to "potato crisps" because the FDA ruled they didn't meet their definition of what constituted a true potato chip. Does anyone else here also remember those Frispo machines Carl's Jr's had in the 70's that made crinkle fries from a dried potato mix? They were like the pringles version of fries.
The blurry tube with good emission most probably needs a cathode cleaning. Not rejuvenation, just cathode cleaning with low current. This blurriness happens when the electron beam is not circular, because the cathode has uneven emission across its surface, possibly due to cathode poisoning caused by slight gassiness. If you can pull the yoke off the neck and de-focus the beam, you can inspect the shape of the beam. You should do a rejuvenation on the totally bad one. Nothing to lose at this point. I had great success rate with these Japanese B/W tubes, from virtually no image to completely watchable, and long lasting results with light use, sometimes even with heavy use. Most likely it has enough emitting material under a poisoned surface layer. It it's too gassy, the neck will have a purple glow after rejuvenation.
Now I'm confused (no change there). The transistors in the vertical stage, including vertical amp Q14 2SB56 (tested at 20:14 maybe), all appear to be PNP, yet you seemed to replace Q14 with an NPN 2N2430 (28:10). The humour compensates. Happy New Year to you.
I was half stuck inside a GORF arcade machine at midnight when everyone else was partying. Every time I fixed one fault, one or two more popped up. Bad ICs and bad IC sockets. Almost 10% Vloss on the component tester means the capacitor is very leaky. I toss most of'em it they're over 3%. Depends on the situation and capacity though.
That about the cut off explains a lot. I was recording my Nashville ABC affiliate this year, and right as it got to the 15 or 30 second mark it cut off. I guess that was why. I didn’t realize there was a rights issue.
"It's not even blurry enough to make that look good" CRACKED me up. Thanks Shango for the laugh.

Spit my coffee out when he said that! He is comic gold!!
@@jamesplotkin4674 Yep,hilarious
That heating and cooling capacitors trick helped me diagnose a VHS camcorder. So thanks for that tip. You've mentioned it before in videos years past.
You're not getting old, broadcast television is getting worse, much worse. Our new years TV here in Australia was shocking too.
Same here in the UK. Sadly, it’s all becoming irrelevant now…
Same as the music, complete junk.
Agree. They were too busy talking with Robbie Williams & nearly missed the countdown! The fireworks were the only best part to watch.

Not far off
I love the look of this thing. It looks like a little mini console TV.
Желаю счастья в новом году !!!!! Обожаю ваши видео !👍👍👍👍👍
I started school that year. Nice tv and repair. Thanks!
Thankfully I slept right through the ball drop this time. New Year's is the absolute most overated holiday in existence.

I've seen some tv's that had a flip clock in them.

Good new year to you Shango👍
Hope you reach 100k subscribers this year.
This black and white set was included in the 1968 Sears catalog. For 1969, a similar color set was offered, most likely also made by Toshiba. I wonder whether these sets were sold outside of the US as Toshiba products or if they were Sears exclusives.
Shango the magnificent he teaches you by appearing ignorant which he is totally not. It is brilliant. The deader comment will get them going.
Try lifting focus pin u& add a power supply. These tubes usually had focus taps from ground up to boost.
If no joy try a light rejuve.
LFOD !
The data sheet actually says 8KV minimum, so it's under. We are going to revisit this.One parts have already been ordered
Sometimes there was no trimmer to set focus, but they just connected it either to ground or 150V for videoamp or g2.
I've got one similar to this but it's a Westinghouse. Also has a phonograph on top. Cool little 12-in set with similar features except it is fully tube except for the radio.
I'm having a sceance to see if I can bring Dick Clark and his music back. These people are making me nauseus.
Good to see someone with a lot of enthusiasm at fixing that piece of junk! Looks like a frame collapse problem, maybe a faulty resistor or as you mentioned a dud capacitor or capacitors ! I f in doubt sacrifice it to the TRASH HEEP . NICE 👍
Your comment about Pringles made laugh. When Pringles first came out they called them "New Fangled Potato Chips" on the tube. They later had to change that to "potato crisps" because the FDA ruled they didn't meet their definition of what constituted a true potato chip.
Does anyone else here also remember those Frispo machines Carl's Jr's had in the 70's that made crinkle fries from a dried potato mix? They were like the pringles version of fries.
It's a snack food invented by a soap company.
I remember seeing a set like that in a motel room back in the 60s, I wonder if they made them for that purpose.
I have one of these I picked up at Kutztown a few years back, sadly the tube was necked before I got it.
I just love this complicated shit.
Robbie Williams and james cordon, please keep them over there you're welcome to them😂

This blurriness happens when the electron beam is not circular, because the cathode has uneven emission across its surface, possibly due to cathode poisoning caused by slight gassiness.

You should do a rejuvenation on the totally bad one. Nothing to lose at this point. I had great success rate with these Japanese B/W tubes, from virtually no image to completely watchable, and long lasting results with light use, sometimes even with heavy use. Most likely it has enough emitting material under a poisoned surface layer. It it's too gassy, the neck will have a purple glow after rejuvenation.
Now I'm confused (no change there). The transistors in the vertical stage, including vertical amp Q14 2SB56 (tested at 20:14 maybe), all appear to be PNP, yet you seemed to replace Q14 with an NPN 2N2430 (28:10). The humour compensates. Happy New Year to you.
