12:24 i don't watch TV either... Only time i see TV is when i go out to a bar or to a friend or family members house, i laugh at the sheer quantity of pharmaceutical advertising. Funny how we went from cigarette ads being bad, to 5 pill or injection ads in a single commercial break.
The circuit board warping is common to these sets. Found a few places to fix, then shoved a dense piece of foam under the middle to keep it from sagging upon reassembly. I've now owned three of them, just to keep the original one gifted-to-me "alive." Aside from the warping, the solid-state boards that plug in to the main board went into small plastic forms which would separate at one end and keep the vertically-positioned boards from making contact. I keep one on display with a ROKU/modulator. fun to watch old shows on it! You should ENJOY this little gem!
i wonder if when someone refitted the back in the past, they didnt get the board in the slots but it rode up above it, i've had that issue with an odd few portable sets myself,
@@andygozzo72 Perhaps "remotely" possible, but having owned three of these all with warpage, I'd put it in the "not probable" column. Thanks for reading my comment!
@@RadioAnnouncermaybe in that particular one, but i've had issues with refitting backs on some sets, the board doesnt always 'easily' slip in the support slot
My dad had this same TV, I remember playing with it as a little kid. It it stopped working and sat in the closet till my parents moved. Wish I still had it, would have been a great project to try and get it working. My dad used to say the same thing. It was a demo model for stores windows, I always though that didn't sound right.
It's cool for a collector today. But who wanted this in the 1970s? This is primarily a bedroom TV to sit on your chest of drawers or nightstand. That's probably why it is rare.
@@agoogleuser704well that screen is not big enough for the big ball’s energy of DJT lol. It will fit Joes thoughts just uhhhhh uhhhh uhhh oh you know the thing.
Yesterday, Friday April 26th 2024, slow Joe was on Stern's radio show (I cannot believe people still listen to him) and he said he'd debate Trump, but the guy is useless even with a teleprompter.... Anyway when Trump finished up court around 4:30pm he addressed the Press and told Joe he'd debate him tonight if he wanted too and also said he was free after 5pm Monday-Friday in NYC and would even go to the White House to do it. IF there is a debate the ratings are going to be through the roof just out of curiosity mostly and to see how long Joe will be able to last as well as what kind of lies he's going to spew as the guy 100% cannot go off script without a massive train wreck to follow. That being said if a debate happens I'll be turning off my cellphone, taking the landline off the hook, and whipping up some killer junk food and having a few beers because Trump will mop the floor with that demented old cadaver! Cheers Everybody :)
That old TV set held up a lot better for the past 54 years than me, or those Crepe Erase ladies for that matter. That was likely one of the first models that used that newfangled post-1969 RCA block lettering logo. This set is a lot safer to work on than the color models. 12voltvids told me one time the black-and-white sets that were intended for the lower mains voltages put out a lot of ionizing X-radiation when exposed to today's higher household voltages, but I think that's bunk.
it's so weird to me that they were still using tubes in the 70s in TVs. I remember we had an old 70s RCA tv in the 80s and I remember looking in the back and seeing tubes in that.
Everyone was too busy smoking, drinking, filling up the station wagon with Leaded gas for $10-$14 per tank, sunbathing, having BBQs with the neighbors, going out for dinner and dancing, all the great stuff we all did until the BIG SUCK starting in 2001 and going full blast by the 2010s. We did have 4 years of cheap everything until we were all locked up and then the Cadaver was installed January 2021 and we all know what's been going on since then. I really hope DJT wins November 5th 2024 and gets everything back on track before they tank our currency in order to usher in a new global one and than we all get to start from scratch.
Looks like they took a 1970 NOS production TV and dolled it up with the bicentennial celebration in 1976. Maybe gimmick to get rid of some NOS sets that were sitting in a warehouse? That would explain the patriotic doo-dads on the speaker grille. What do you think?
@@Desert-edDave Originally I wanted to say arab but then I was reminded of Arafat and that I could potentially annoy too many people with such a broad stroke. Hence...
3:57 - I'll bet I know why the speaker was bypassed. That mini TV probably had a speaker no bigger than a small transistor radio, and the owner wanted a "bigger sound," so he(?) ran the speaker wires probably to a stereo component speaker. When I was a teen in the 70's, I got a "surround-type" experience in my parent's living room by running a set of wires from my Pioneer H-2000 stereo speakers to a console radio/phono on the other side of the living room. I jammed the wires into the RCA jacks behind the speakers, and jammed the wires into the console speaker wire connectors. Sounded great!
When I owned a shop, I installed a 1/4" socket in the audio circuit which when plugged into, would shut the built-in speaker off so older folks could have the remote speaker next to them and not blow the stock speaker, or bother neighbors. In this example, the guy couldn't be bothered to find the right connectors and also was a hack solder-er, for certain ;-)
That is a really nice set! Being an antique myself, even watching those huge 55" flat panel TV's for the last 15 years or so, just looking at your set there, was so "natural". I bet w/a good cleaning and running on a slightly lower voltage, the set would run another 15 years easily.
Hey @shango066 If you're looking for a bunch of useless knobs just head on over to DC. Great video by the way, I've been watching you since around 2017ish and you taught me a LOT. I even managed to re-cap my 1959 Fleetwood Grundig SO 112 CA and does she ever preform crisp, clear, and amazing bass. Thanks again for the great content and humor!
I would have guessed, judging by the speaker grille design, that this was from 1976. Having lived through America’s Bicentennial, I can tell you that just about EVERYTHING back then had Liberty Bells, eagles, Statue of Liberty figurines, flags and fife & drum / revolutionary soldier designs on it or was painted with red, white and blue stripes. Cars, vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, telephones, transistor radios, kitchen appliances, you name it.
Photographing the QR code would be a nice test of image detail, plus the novelty of having some vacuum tubes in the technology stack for getting some info on Crepe Erase.
I remember RCA factory in Mooretown, NJ near my old apt. route 38. I know RCA has a plant called "Missle and Surfacwe Radar" in 1979, I applied for Engineering work at RCA aftert graduation.
Papa Shango is truly the master of vintage television resurrection when he starts in with his television diagnostic powers that TV will come back to life like Lazarus from the dead. I myself have several vintage CRT televisions, two of them still live but the picture on one needs adjustment CRT based televisions are basically electron accelerators. They boil off electrons from a filament and accelerate them using high voltage. When the electrons hit the color grates inside the picture surface of the tube they come to an abrupt stop. When any charged particle comes to an abrupt stop it emits electromagnetic radiation. The higher the speed of the particle and the faster it stops the higher the frequency of emitted radiation. Some Old CRT televisions may impart enough energy to the electrons so that when they stop the electrons emit X-rays, hence the stickers regarding x-ray. In fact old X-ray machines created x-rays by accelerating electrons and have them stop abruptly by striking a metal block.
I'm lucky enough to have one of these. I'm kind of surprised RCA made this. I would expect if Guild made a fancy novelty miniature tv, I kind of imagine this is what it might look like.
This was so great! I loved your commentary on the skincare products 😂🤣. It’s an old commercial they just keep running. Jane Seymour doesn’t look that young anymore on her current Irish tv show called Harry Wild. Either that or she quit using crepe erase! 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂 It’s a nice little set, like my little Sears 70’s B&W set I saved from the garbage when a friend’s grandfather was cleaning out their garage. It’s a solid state and works great! 😀
I remember seeing one of these at a thrift store almost 30 years ago., I remember it was a dark cherry. Even though it’s not a salesman special, it definitely looks like it could be. Really a miniature set of rabbit ears would look perfect on the top of this. Are you still recording with that phone you found??
Such a sharp picture! Very rare to see something from this era and this amount of use (see the on/off switch) having a picture this nice. I wonder if you'll ever find a TravLer TV in such nice condition to show us. My grandfather had an early 1950s one when I was a kid, but unfortunately it was pretty much just for decoration, as a reminder of his first tv set.

Bit late to this party but what a awesome TV. I've been subscribed and watching Shango for years and only just realised that Shango sounds like Jello Biafra! It must be that classy Californian accent.
We need your commentary on those new commercials Shango where the woman is walking around looking like a corpse, and saying she just had an IMPLANT in her throat so she doesn't have to wear her CPAP mask. It may be creepier than the Jardiance commercial
I was just going to say I think in that time frame we we're still making that stuff here. Little did we know at the time that train was coming to a quick end.
These were made for sale in the Philadelphia area for Silo,s and Globe sales.This TV set was Philadelphia themed for the local sports teams. I have also seen these themed for other cities like NY and Chicago.
It has Peptides! And no animal testing because YOU are the guinea pig! 🤣 As always, Shango, Excellent video! Thanks for sharing this awesome little RCA!
I have three of these little TV’s. I’ve always been impressed by how detailed the cabinets look on these. Surprisingly they still work fairly well…love watching your videos!
Neat. I can get face lifts in a jar, supplements to shrink my prostate, all from the idiot box. Neat idiot box though. Reminds me of the high hour solid state RCA TV at my parents house.
Reminds me of a Baldwin HT2 organ with the wood and patterned grill. Awesome pic! "Nice joule lines Nancy, but how can you afford a facelift?" " It's Plexiderm Judy, I only _look_ rich!"
I always had a liking to these, and had an oppertunity to pick one up before, but I never paid attention to the fact they were that old and vacuum tube drivin. How cool! Thanks for the vid
Great Saturday Morning with Shango Get your savings at ROSS and use Plexaderm and look centuries younger. Wonder if the RCA would look like new. Love my Saturday mornings with Shango. Thanks for making these videos about the only good thing on tv these days. Take care Mike
Very cool, love the little set; in 1971 I returned from Vietnam , in 72 we moved to El Paso Texas and Fort Bliss, I bought my first color set down there at the Globe Shopping City store just off base, it was about that size but some off brand Hong Kong set. it lasted for years and I eventually gave it to my sister who needed a set after i purchased a new one at the Gambles store in our home town some years later.
"decollete" refers to your neckline area from the base of your throat (below your chin) to the top of your chest and the cleavage between your breasts.
I was doing some digging on Reddit and found a post from 4 years ago, a guy picked up one of these exact sets and some of the comments on that redditor's post said it originally sold for $125 brand new. But this is a really nice looking set. I like the miniaturized version of a big floor console TV. Looks really cute.
This may make a cool collector's piece, but this would look goofy on a nightstand or on top of the dresser in your bedroom, which is really the only place you wanted such a small B&W TV.
4:30 wow that circuit board is curved! And I don't even know why. Unlike the inverter I bought where the circuit board wasn't correctly fit it into the track maybe it popped out during shipping. I can explain that one in the TV wow.

We at the TV factory made and rebuilt thousands of bulbs at Ottawa Ohio Sylvania(r) PS 13 inches were tough to reset the mask.
I love the styling and the novelty behind it, hate the typical craptastic RCA innards. You sure won't find any sagging circuit boards on a Zenith
Alot of tv sets in Italy in the 1970's came in wooden cabinets
Oh man, this video has EVERYTHING! 😂
A nice TV, a good set-up/adjustment, tubes, Marionette Lines, AND Crêpe Erase!
1970 was the first year that RCA had their new logo on all sets. The 1969 CTC-38 came both ways, with the "Nipper" and the new one.
This may make a cool collector's piece, but this would look goofy on a nightstand or on top of the dresser in your bedroom, which is really the only place you wanted such a small B&W TV.
This would be a cool tv for retro video gaming!
I’ve seen these in old sears robuck catalogs. I’ve only worked on the 19” RCA mini consoles, but they were all color & solid state
That looks like the one Elvis Presley owned!
It's so cute. Great picture too.
It does apear to have something to support the board there is a little foot sticking down but that only works with the back is on.
4:30 wow that circuit board is curved! And I don't even know why. Unlike the inverter I bought where the circuit board wasn't correctly fit it into the track maybe it popped out during shipping. I can explain that one in the TV wow.
YAY Crepe Erase.. I was starting to get the shakes from withdrawls
I remember seeing these in old Blue Chip stamp catalogs.
That’s a sweet little unit.
