RE: the estate....Here is what I walk away with: Talk to them while they're still with us. Get to know them, and learn their stories (if they're willing to share). The knowledge this man took with him far outweighs the value of all the electronic parts he left behind. This place is a shrine. If only the walls could talk. RIP genius.
And when we go, we leave EVERYTHING we have behind, after lifetime of accumulating knowledge and "stuff". WTF is the point? Leave all our shit for some poor sap to sort out?
I wonder if this guy did build that house himself or something. My daddy owned his own lumber business and built our house using the lumber.when I looked at much of the house some of the lumber kind of remind me of what was built in the house for example the fold away stairs leading to the attic and even some of the lumber nailed in the attic itself.
I attended an estate auction in Missouri similar to the one seen here. It took three weekends running two rings to auction off everything. Everything was laid out where you could see what was there. There were three 20 foot long trailers full of tubes most of which were brand new old stock. All good numbers. Lots of rare Western Electric tubes. The man had owned movie theaters at one time. He had a complete pair of Simplex 35mm projectors with carbon arc lamphouses and a working Vitaphone system still connected to the projectors. There were lots of Vitaphone records included. It was a once in a lifetime kind of event too see all of the stuf. They had two flatbed trailers piled full of nothing but vintage movie posters. Thousands of 35mm trailers. It was insane! I spent every dime i had at the time. I bought the record collection. 2,500 unplayed promo 45's of 50's R&B, Blues, DooWop, Bluegrass, Skiffle, Rockabilly and Country. About 1,000 78's of pre-war(30's) Blues, Bluegrass, R&B, Rockabilly. I didn't have enough money or room to buy it all. Everything was good stuff.
When the notification pops up for a Shango video I race over here like a kid for Saturday morning cartoons. & a double treat today at that! An hour long RCA vid... Might have to pop a tape in the VCR & record this one...
Yeah me too, I'm not that particularly interested in old valve TV repairs, but to see this man's skill and detective work, his experience is unsurpassed by any other repairs I have seen on TH-cam, and he's just a special guy, entertaining and what not, you never know what you're gonna see next which is what I like.
I dispersed an estate much like that last fall. Completely overwhelming for the family and I. The man was a meticulous genius with a generous helping of OCD.
That house is a TRIP! It's literally a vintage component electronics store. Seeing how he was, I'll bet there is a computerized inventory, or at least a spreadsheet of every part contained, complete with quantities, in that entire house.
Those "cracks" in the wooden posts and the railing rail, are called a check. Normal for all un-sawen wood to get those. Does not take away strength. And yes, the roof tung and groove planks are 2X6 planks. Then high density foam is placed over the top of the T&G, then more planking for securing the usually metal roof. (I'm a former log home owner). Although the log look inside of the house is just log siding. Plywood floor is to be covered with carpet, or vinyl plank flooring, just like you put in the house with the concrete floor. That place would go up SUPER QUICK if there were a fire in it!
That estate collection is mind blowing. It's like a museum of repair parts. Bob Anderson and the old radio guys are gonna stroke out when they see all of that. I think it's safe to assume at least the loose capacitors are NOT worth taking home but everything else...
I'm into loose and extra. There's so much to work on just to revive and get a direction for a full restoration. Many items will never get a full restoration. No sense in burying expensive parts inside.
This is gonna sound weird but I find your videos help me relax or get over headaches. I understand a little about electronics but watching you take your time to fix old things while explaining what you're doing is strangely calming. Thank you😊
That house more than likely came as a kit.😊 BTW: That type of ceiling is typically called or known as "cinemax" tongue & groove. It comes in 6 and 8 inch widths and 2.5" thickness; and being tongue and groove it can span 12 -14' spans (beam to beam). Joints can be anywhere within that span without loses in strength.
That house was a trip, hope you got some goodies. I kind of dig the wood, shame it wasn’t finished out in some areas. Never worry about paint, it’s just wood!
I am stunned, wow what a video Shango, thank you ! The memories here of that person are insane, what a pleasure you would have had to know this man, RIP a true tech Legend !
That was a crazy amount of vintage electronics in that unfinished rustic log home. May have lived somewhere near Phoenix AZ ( I'm guessing as KNIX- FM was a clue). Also a member of the Association of North American Radio Clubs, i.e. ANARC. A better question would be where was his workbench? I didn't see a single oscilloscope there nor a vintage TV. Lots of Unobtainium radio power transformers were there! The peacock is the official bird of the City of Arcadia,CA! LOL That was mind boggling visit Dan! Thanks for sharing it.
Just imagine if shango had everything that could be useable or salvageable to fix anything he wanted.this is a dream come true,a real treasure and a sure gold mine!I know he had to be in love with what he saw!😄love the house as well.kind of reminds me of our house in a way our daddy built,he owned a lumber business.
It looks just like the RCA my parents bought when I was a teenager. It came with a free clock radio. We watched all the old shows like Star Trek and Sea Hunt.
That friggin house was soooo cool could watch another 30 mins just slowly documenting it ...there was definitely too much to take in. I wonder if the owner had an old school electronics store at some point Kinda looked that way. Thanks for sharing this Shango loved it
That was neat nice house and OMG how did he collect all those really rare and interesting pieces. Love that extra treat. Looking for the next part. Wish I had that stuff. also what an amazing house built with re-claimed wood.
Awesome video Shango I love those Roundies. That house and its collection is amazing how on earth does anyone collect that much stuff. That wood work in that house took a lot of time and patience.... And money. All the time it took to build that it would burn down in a matter of minutes if it ever caught on fire
Like a kid in a candy store. Good thing I live too far from there....but....I saw some Command Sets. Me being 80 years old, brings back a lot of memories.
Premium quality content here! A meltastic moment, and an electronics ocd garage grown into house exploration. I want every thing in there, but then i remember i might never do anything with them. What a trip!
The estate footage hit close to home because I gotta start getting rid of stuff. I'm making a pile for Shango and Radio TV Phono Nut and a few others. Not looking to make any money, just don't want collectable/desirable gear going in the trash.
That house was cool. Certainly a lot of parts and stuff. That wood work was awesome. I would not have known what to buy with all that available. Would certainly be broke after the trip. LOL Cheers! 🍻
Hey thanks for the field trip! That was really enjoyable . Some pretty nifty items there .. that guy really left a legacy I'm not sure if that's passion or insanity but never the less very very cool..
This guy is the best explaining what he is doing and why he is doing it when troubleshooting. Love his videos will be sitting down later tonight and definitely watching this .
What a collection! I'd love to have a few of those direction finding sets. They make great AM dx radios. I wish I was closer. I see alot of things I'd like to add to my collection. Great video! Thanks!
It's actually pretty nice to have these coming every Saturday. I think Shango posted at 8:00AM California time. Straight out of San Diego ::))). To Shango: In about 3-4 years, I may hit the block and come around, right after I'm done with my UK affairs, I'm planning to visit there and learn some, if you find that ok, of course, provided you still go into TV and radio sets by then.
I'd certainly ask the person about all those radios 📻, and the Roundie TV. Ya can probably bundle the prices. That's a VERY beautiful 😍 house. Your friend, Jeff.
My family had an RCA just like that one. My father taught me how to properly adjust the color and tint for a good picture. The degaussing thermistor went out twice on it, and the horizontal output tube blew in half one night. Other than that, it was a great TV set.
43:17 my dad has that same light switch wall plate in his bedroom with the thermometer and I think a humidity strip and I’ve never seen another one until today.
What an estate! My only thought were, hunger, sheer hunger. Next was how much money did this guy spend to acquire such a collection. And lastly, sadness that one day, no matter what we accumulate, we must leave it all behind to be sold to the highest bidders. Shango, how do you find these places?
Its a sad reality but most of us eventually go down that collection rabbit hole .every make model we have to have it.then in a split second. Estate sale 😢 and for myself it would have to be a Stanley No 1
I live in an old house and my roof has either 1x6 or 1x8 boards and also the floor in the center of my attic are all 1x6 or 1x8 boards and the held my weight up just fine and also I have a furnace up there as well. My house was built in 1931.
Thanks for all the great videos. If you have a chance, it would be great to show us how to calibrate those analog meters. I have several, but have been unable to figure that out.
You just know, in all of that stuff. Is a brand new part you will need 3 videos from now and how would you have even been able to know it. And its gonna end up in a land fill. Ugh… that kills me. 😵
I knew a collector/repair shop like this he moved everything from his house to a vacant hardware store on main street I took electronics to him he always said "i can fix it it's not hard leave it over there" skinny guy in his upper 60's big caffeine eyes the cigarettes did him in
Of all the things in the estate sale, the only one I need is the flouro-desk lamp. 😊 That being said, I’d probably want one of the open-frame tube radios. 😅
The estate sale clip kinda shows the depressing reality of this hobby. You spend your whole life collecting these things, just to die and have your family sell everything off cheap. And anything that doesn’t sell just goes to the dump
After going to a few estate sales myself, I’ve wondered if that was their thinking too. They pack their homes and garages with so much gear and much of it goes unused. At one estate sale I got a lot of gear for free because it got to the point where they just wanted to get rid of it and nobody was buying. Upon opening a lot of it up, I encountered a lot of corrosion. It wasn’t even worth the time to restore and was trashed.
Some grew up dirt poor. Never having anything they needed, or what they did have was broken. Or thought they wanted to be ready for the end of the world. No telling unless you know the person. I always think of how much information that is lost, or items that can never be made the same way again.. some of that metal was pre 1945.. low background radiation. Thank you for showing what your dreams must be like shango...

Move out of LA shango and buy this cool house
And when we go, we leave EVERYTHING we have behind, after lifetime of accumulating knowledge and "stuff". WTF is the point? Leave all our shit for some poor sap to sort out?
Forget the shed. You need that house!
I wonder if this guy did build that house himself or something. My daddy owned his own lumber business and built our house using the lumber.when I looked at much of the house some of the lumber kind of remind me of what was built in the house for example the fold away stairs leading to the attic and even some of the lumber nailed in the attic itself.
empty it
Yeah I think the easier thing to do is to just move there!
When I saw that house, my brain melted like that VDR.
Being a boomer, I serviced the 16 in my teens. And when you opened the flyback cage, I could still remember the transformer smell; it hit me briefly.
now that's nostalgia!

Same here. Especially when it is an RCA Color round tube.
Yeah me too, I'm not that particularly interested in old valve TV repairs, but to see this man's skill and detective work, his experience is unsurpassed by any other repairs I have seen on TH-cam, and he's just a special guy, entertaining and what not, you never know what you're gonna see next which is what I like.
That estate sale, my mind is so blown I will dream about it for a month!
I need to show the estate segment of this video to my wife, who thinks I have too much stuff 😊
Its been 9 hours, how did showing her the video go?
@@sgath92 Probably divorced now 😂
The game of life: He who dies with the most toys wins! Great video as always Shango!
Australia's richest man . . Packer junior's motto
That estate sale...whoa. Man those sorting trays with all the knobs...I'd love to have those.
I dispersed an estate much like that last fall. Completely overwhelming for the family and I. The man was a meticulous genius with a generous helping of OCD.
That estate sale is like a weird fever dream. Extraordinary.
That house is a TRIP! It's literally a vintage component electronics store. Seeing how he was, I'll bet there is a computerized inventory, or at least a spreadsheet of every part contained, complete with quantities, in that entire house.
I regret Shango cannot have the house as his new HQ. It will be so hard to select a few things to get..... as he needs about half of everything. ❤
Those "cracks" in the wooden posts and the railing rail, are called a check. Normal for all un-sawen wood to get those. Does not take away strength.
And yes, the roof tung and groove planks are 2X6 planks. Then high density foam is placed over the top of the T&G, then more planking for securing the usually metal roof. (I'm a former log home owner). Although the log look inside of the house is just log siding.
Plywood floor is to be covered with carpet, or vinyl plank flooring, just like you put in the house with the concrete floor.
That place would go up SUPER QUICK if there were a fire in it!

I'm into loose and extra. There's so much to work on just to revive and get a direction for a full restoration. Many items will never get a full restoration. No sense in burying expensive parts inside.
That radio, instruments and parts collection is unreal! Freakin' goldmine! Total value on Fleabay would be astronomical. Maybe hitting a million.
Good morning!!! That estate sale is a trip!!
The pain when you find an awesome loot, but the inventory is full. Hope all that stuff finds a nice new owner.
The coolest part is the guy actually had enough space for all of it.
Yay! That’s my set. Can’t wait to see part 2.
What a stunning house. Perfect for both you and Mr. Carlson. I about forgot what video I was watching. Thanks Shango.
There are hoarders...then there was THIS guy. Awesome display of practical organization!
Wow, what a collection of parts! Talk about meticulous attention to detail, just utterly mind blowing!
This is gonna sound weird but I find your videos help me relax or get over headaches.
I understand a little about electronics but watching you take your time to fix old things while explaining what you're doing is strangely calming.
Thank you😊
That house was amazing. Imagine the type of mind responsible for that home/contents.
that house is like a super well stocked electronics warehouse! everything you could need and more
That house more than likely came as a kit.😊 BTW: That type of ceiling is typically called or known as "cinemax" tongue & groove. It comes in 6 and 8 inch widths and 2.5" thickness; and being tongue and groove it can span 12 -14' spans (beam to beam). Joints can be anywhere within that span without loses in strength.
I agree. My timberframe home uses 2 x 6 double tongue and groove Spruce, to span similar distances.
30:48 I thought you were about to say that was the Shed you built - I was gonna say DAMN you work fast. lol
Wow.... what a house! I love it's rawness. And it wouldn't be California without the incessant blaring of 2 strokes EVERYWHERE.
That house was a trip, hope you got some goodies. I kind of dig the wood, shame it wasn’t finished out in some areas. Never worry about paint, it’s just wood!
I am stunned, wow what a video Shango, thank you !

Man I really want to find a roundie for myself
Holy crap you could buy that house and all the contents, do a video a day and never finish for the rest of your life!
Incredible collection, well organised!
At least we got to see this mans legacy, I would have like to have met him.
It looks just like the RCA my parents bought when I was a teenager. It came with a free clock radio. We watched all the old shows like Star Trek and Sea Hunt.
Thank you for the look at the estate.
New Shango vid = day saved
No kids and no wife - that totally explains it!!!
That friggin house was soooo cool could watch another 30 mins just slowly documenting it ...there was definitely too much to take in.
I wonder if the owner had an old school electronics store at some point Kinda looked that way.
Thanks for sharing this Shango loved it
I haven't seen parts like that for 40 years. Excellent thank you shango. Ken from gpt ms
My first color set was a CTC16X I was facinated by the 4 diode 6JU8.

So excited to see roundies around again!
Enjoyed the walk through, Chrstmas Tree 😊
I would have bought a few of the radios! I hope you got some great deals on useful stuff for your repairs. Really neat to see!
WTF? Those caps at the beginning just blew my mind. Why on earth did they do that?
What a collection! I'd love to have a few of those direction finding sets. They make great AM dx radios. I wish I was closer. I see alot of things I'd like to add to my collection. Great video! Thanks!
Beautiful old set as always great video
I still have big collection of those type TV tubes I saved for 45 years !
Wow look at all the nice old parts !

I've got an uncle that lives in Australia I think he lives in Brisbane LOL haven't heard from him in years no way of getting ahold of him
I feel really old now, I used to repair that stuff after I got out of the Air Force.
Now that's some stuff that guy had right there.
This was a treat! Thanks Shango.
I'd certainly ask the person about all those radios 📻, and the Roundie TV. Ya can probably bundle the prices. That's a VERY beautiful 😍 house. Your friend, Jeff.
Looks a lot like the TV we had when I was a kid.
The zenith 7g605 bomber radio uses a resistor looking cap as well! I learned to look at my schematic twice!
WOW!!! That estate sale is impressive for sure!!! Most of it will end up in the dumpster.
nunca vi nada parecido, todo eso que tiene alli vale mas que el oro de todo el planeta, un sueño
felicitaciones!!
Love the house!
Look how well built all that old equipment is .
Es increíble esa cabaña de madera, y el estado de todas las cosas, es increíble!!

Good day, I see you have a heavy one to fix today Shangoo
I love those resistors 💀💀💀...and repair... cheers all
Reminds me of when I was at a pro bicycle mechanic's estate sale. I was broke, and watched everything I needed sell cheap.
getting images of the old Pulse movie in my head lol
Amazing house!
I live in an old house and my roof has either 1x6 or 1x8 boards and also the floor in the center of my attic are all 1x6 or 1x8 boards and the held my weight up just fine and also I have a furnace up there as well. My house was built in 1931.
Thanks for all the great videos. If you have a chance, it would be great to show us how to calibrate those analog meters. I have several, but have been unable to figure that out.
You just know, in all of that stuff. Is a brand new part you will need 3 videos from now and how would you have even been able to know it. And its gonna end up in a land fill. Ugh… that kills me. 😵

After going to a few estate sales myself, I’ve wondered if that was their thinking too. They pack their homes and garages with so much gear and much of it goes unused. At one estate sale I got a lot of gear for free because it got to the point where they just wanted to get rid of it and nobody was buying. Upon opening a lot of it up, I encountered a lot of corrosion. It wasn’t even worth the time to restore and was trashed.
In reality it goes for everything..
Some grew up dirt poor. Never having anything they needed, or what they did have was broken. Or thought they wanted to be ready for the end of the world. No telling unless you know the person. I always think of how much information that is lost, or items that can never be made the same way again.. some of that metal was pre 1945.. low background radiation.

30 minutes of heavy breathing.......... Very interesting house, The guy had a story we would all have found fascinating but sadly will not hear.
