Estate sale looked rough as hell! Sympathize with your venting at on the drive home. I too avoid them like the plague, went to a flea market about 15 years ago and it was just full of flippers running around buying everything that was underpriced so they could put it on ebay and let them take half the profit for the pleasure. Can't imagine what they are like these days. That old timer trying to tell you about doing an IF alignment was also amusing! Shoulda told him you'd seen a guy on youtube called shango do them before :D
In belgium we call them " opkopers " .people are setting up and those idiots are already there, its also disgusting how they treat stuff they buy i saw one shove a tube table radio into the back of their vehicle with no protection and stack FULL WOODEN chairs ontop of it and other heavy stuff. its truly disgusting .
The tube shield coupler is real. I have the Bateman's and Ryder's for the Admiral 20Y4 Super Cascode, and it shows you how to prepare a tube shield coupler and how to slip it over the RF amp tube.
Flippers really get on my nerves as they are one of the reasons prices for stuff like this is so high. I feel like every hobby I am into the flippers have gotten their hands in making things unaffordable.
That TV is a beast! A testament to early American manufacturing and engineering. The color of the front panels on the TV set off the cabinet, which is also very cool and well built. A great TV to see for anyone to see the history of TV manufacturing. Awesome video! 🍻
That experience really sucked. I’m with you. I hate the frenzy that takes place at estate sales. Just because one person is having a panic attack doesn’t mean we all have to share in the fun.
Wow - I have enjoyed your channel for some time, because you sound crankier than I am and now I find out I'm even older than you. I appreciate your candor. I appreciate you giving us a free field trip to an estate sale. Now I know I am not missing out on anything. There are a lot of things in life I thought I could never master but I stand in awe of your television repair skill because high voltage and flinging electrons still wig me out -- God bless the flat screen. Lastly, some day somebody in the future will say "how quaint, some archaic 60 fps footage of internal combustion vehicles in traffic" so you shot archival stock footage for the ages there! Keep on trucking, Shango066! I would love to see the CBS in operation on your channel.
It dawns on me I might have drawn the wrong conclusion about my age relative to Shango's based on when he said he was in middle school. Maybe he just got held back like a dozen years hahahaha...
That CBS might have been the best piece at the sale, if you’re a tv guy. Looked like there was some decent audio gear so those guys might argue otherwise. What an amazing piece of engineering.
The end drive on the 405 literally gave me anxiety flashbacks. I'm actually surprised it was MOVING!!! I really don't miss Los Angeles..... Anyhow, on the estate sale.... yep, all the ebay flippers are out! I learned from my Mom when she passed away. WHAT to do with all her stuff? It had meaning to her, but with exception of a few special items, none to me. (She was a dress maker) So ever since that time, I have been selling off my own "collections", as I am getting old and would rather enjoy the cash instead of being robbed by flippers after I die and they make thousands. It really changed my perspective on life. I know everyone needs to make a living, but I despise these people. Ebay is turning into Cristie's auction for the rich, it seems. Not with MY stuff!
WOW! What an amazing collection of vintage electronics, I feel like I stepped into a time machine. It'd be interesting to know some history of the shop. Thx for sharing, that was great!
Not being in TV or Radio Repair at all, but if i get my hands on electronics stuff and couldn´t make it work again (which can happen easily because if a specialized IC is dead or being unable to solder fine pitch stuff), i still go for the parts, even if its a diode, cap, resistor or whatever that could be bought nowadays for a few cents. If they prove good, they´re or course still usable for other things. We simply dont´t have any pure electronics stores leftover here in Germany like it was in the 60/70/80s, so you can´t take a ride to the next town and pick something up you need instantly, so in this case everything has to be ordered online - and i - hate - waiting for parts which i instantly need. So from my point of view there is nothing wrong about dismantling something for parts and collect them. We also have virtually no "Garage sales" like in the US (or probably elsewhere) where special stuff can be found, because the interest, besides drinking beer or fiddling around with modern electronics stuff at best, is likely 0%. Maybe something pops up on a flea market, but that happens barely. But if it does, i am at an advantage, because i have no competition at all and most sellers have overall no clue about what they are selling. They only see electronics trash, trying to make a bit money out of it, instead of firing it immediately into the dumpster.
i did tv and electronics repair in the late 80's and old tv's were abundant on the side of the road on nights before bulk trash pickup day. i scavenged a good many parts and tubes from them. much of it i still have.
@@NeverMind-pk4wz I just pull the boards from stuff I scrap and throw em in a plastic tub for later scavenging when I need a part at 3AM. It comes in clutch more often than I expect. Same dismal scene of local electronics shops over here in the states, last one near me closed a couple years back when the old guy that owned it finally retired. Sure now I can get pretty much anything I want within a week or two, if not next day, but half the fun of the local electronics/tech surplus shop was digging through the piles of scrap looking for gems.
This reminded me of how I've got a BW TV for my room as a kid, it just needed a rectifier tube. It was a east european make with an upright chassis hinged at the bottom, the locking screw too loose, and too short of CRT connector wires. I brought it home, put it on the table, the screw fell out, the chassis went down and ripped the neck right off. Man, was I pissed off.
Fantastic find and video. Of course its an RCA tube; they were the only ones making them in 54 right after NTSC concluded. Beautiful set. Anaxing piece of history! CBS just got their ass kicked with the reversal from field sequential (spinning color disc back then) to RCA / NTSC dot-sequential color.
Shango, it's fascinating to watch your videos. Brands and models that we saw in old magazines, you give them a superb description. In my country there was television only in 1956 and color in 1981.
Not true necessarily. Ever hold your own estate sale for someone you love? It HURTS. An estate company WITH ANY CREDIBILITY or time in the business will know MORE about what items are worth than the faimily will in many cases, thus bringing more money, will ADVERTISE the sale better, and organizes it so the family doesn't have the pain of going through memories while the sale is set up. And, ask yourself, what's your time WORTH? You want to do a sale for a close family member's estate? By the hour you would never do it if you knew what the hours vs. money would be. Give THAT some thought...and I'll bet you've never had to organize one for a family member you know that passed. I have. It's painful. Hire the professional for sure! Screen for a good one that will price things, not just display them, clean them, and make it a good presentation for better money. Good ones will get you more money, and take the burden off your hands.
@@RadioAnnouncer Indeed. I know one lady here in Tacoma that I knew when she worked at the library where I worked and found out she had an estate sale business, at that time, on the side. She only does the better sales in my area too. Many of the clients were collectors of fine stuff and thus a lot is beyond my pay grade, but I have often found something I can easily afford. One of the more recent items was a Dansk Kobenstyle blue butter warmer for $16, likely never used. They normally go for around $45 new. Many of them will be like antique dealers know the item, the maker, find out its provenance etc and then price accordingly as necessary, and can take a week, sometimes 2 weeks, just to set up, let alone seeing the place, then negotiating to do the sale etc too. When my mother passed away, we did not have an estate sale as much of what she had, we mostly wanted. I got a bunch of her prized kitchen stuff so I have items that remind me of her. Anyway, it will depend on the person and we went to many local sales over the years, some were better than others insofar as prices for the items were going for.
I could tell your anxiety was high before you even mentioned it on your drive back. Hell I was feeling it too with the 5 person limit and the sound of people digging around. It was great seeing what you filmed and sorry to had to experience the busted tube neck. I look forward to more TV videos.
Brake light on. Eather the oil is low or the sensor of the oil is not working and making a short or at the brake pads the wire that goes to the brake pad itself is touching ground making the light go on. There is a 3rd thing and that is the hand brake. If the switch is rubbing against itself or something that makes that light go on. You, being shango066 should restore the correct function of that light man. Best regard and I love your work. I hope you have a great future. You deserve to be rich. I am a repair guy that do everything like you and I like to help people with their stuff and I know they abuse us in the way that they like that we sort the things for them but they never pay us what is just. But that is another conversation. Big hug from Portugal.
Interesting to look at estate sales, a mans legacy working and hobby collecting now being sold off. I myself have a shed full of old technology waiting for my retirement however my kids have no interest in inheriting it and tell me that it all will get thrown in a dumpster and sent to the rubbish dump once I cark it. I can only hope I will make sure it will be passed on to someone who will make use of it and appreciate it as there are some really interesting pieces of history in my collection.
Just so you know, as a neurodivergent individual with autism, this man likely was not OCD. OCD stands for obsessive compulsive disorder, meaning, they have rituals they must perform in order to avoid "something bad" from happening and can rule their lives. This level of organization could be Autism as many of us will be that fastidious about organization, lining things up etc. ADHD can be the opposite, in that things left in piles is preferable as if hidden, it's out of mind and the person with ADHD will forget an item even exists being one of the symptoms of ADHD. Just FYI. Also, that set is wonderful and like the colorway of the avocado green and pale yellow and black with the blond wood.
19:37 1991 Mazda B2600i? You didn't get that fancy orange VFD digital clock on the peasant class base model. AWESOME! Probably even went to the In and Out for a good burger and everything that day... I miss my 2600i.
It’s strange how different countries are going with radio stations. I’m in Australia and we have had a local station in Victoria rebirthed after being shut down 34ish years ago. 3GL that went from 1930-1990 came back on the air in march on there original 1341kz band playing non stop music from 50,60,70’s. 6 ads a hour and no news breaks. It’s really filled a gap over here, not one fm local station plays anything earlier than 80’s pop music.
Our AM stations are going because of the more conservative talk radio on many of them...also cost. If you can't hear the news anywhere else, you can hear it on AM. We have some real communist propaganda news over here in the US(A)SR.
PBS FM. Huge range of eras. I'm a subscriber because I like the EDM, but there's a huge amount of older stuff that other people like. No matter what genre the show is none of it is ever boring "hits", but rather interesting, obscure quality songs that sometime you'll never hear elsewhere. There's also RRR but the audio compression is a killer on that station so I don't listen.
They like to silence certain news shows so half of us only hear commie propaganda. Yeah, they hid my first reply because this media is in the sack with the same prop.
The early color TV sets had metal color picture tubes in their they shielded themselves from the earth’s magnetic field. Newer color sets have the metal shield. There were early rectangular glass color picture tubes made of glass, and they’re rare to find
Many people think that CBS was simply a name attached to other companies products (and sometimes they were), but there really was a CBS Electronics---they built much of their own stuff, as well as some of the phonos for Columbia. I have one of the CBS-built Columbia suitcase phonos (one of their hifi models) and it sounds amazing
Looks like even though they upgraded the CRT, the bezel is still for the 19 tube. - Wow 21axp22 with good emission!! I hope the new owner does a video on plugging this in. You are correct the reds are amazing on this tube.
I'm mixed... ebay parts are usually good stuff. And so I'm not so hard on flippers. But I appreciate that you are a great home for this stuff.... Thanks for the tour.
What a wild never-throw-out-anything sale! I noticed a Hickock 15560 tube tester in there at 25:00 ...I bought one of those this last week at my local recycling joint and a Crosley AA5 radio for silly cheap. It (the tester) has the glass on the main meter smashed and YES I'm looking to sell it for lots more. I find estate sales are very high priced, full retail Plus.
Have interest in TV though I didn't work for this company I got in to TV in the 1970s working for Sylvania TV till it's closing(thank you Hillary) but we referred rounds for many years😢 thank you for walk down memory lane. 😢
I love this video! I enjoy shango getting irritated in these type of events. That fact that someone busted his tube on that tester jig...that was funny as hell. These are the videos I enjoy the most.
When I was in high school, I used to unsolder components from scrap PC boards. The difference was that I was a cash-strapped teenager with nothing better to do. This just borders on OCD!
I'm looking forward to your review of the Quodosen DX-286. I've had one for a week and am pretty impressed but there is a learning curve. The antenna/amplifier options are impressive. If you get this thing away from interference, you can switch to the telescoping antenna on AM/MW which outperforms the ferrite bar. This radio eats batteries though.
Thanks for taking us to the sale. I'm sorry it was such a miserable experience. The trays of recycled carbon resistors. That's a different era mentality for sure. I had to laugh at the audio signal generator that guy used to align radios. Why would you bother. These days everyone has access to cheaper, better and more accurate test equipment.
Leave a note with the seller with your name and phone number and tell them that before they put it in a dumpster, you can come by and give them some money and haul some of it away saving them work and allowing them to make a little more money. It’s better than it going into the garbage at a complete loss.
Holy smokes! This one is gonna' be real good! A CBS brand electronic TV? I honestly hadno idea that CBS made them. First time I ever hear of or see one. Very rare indeed!
I watched your video of that sale, so neat, a shame we couldn’t have met him before meeting St. Peter at the pearly gates. It’s a dog eat dog world where pro people flock, not giving anyone a chance. Money can be made using eBay and Facebook market place. Too bad the sharks are in the water. At least they know the value of the stuff, and there’s enough suckers to pay premium plus price to have it. Different story if there was no interest.
At 12:33 I think they used conductive paint on top of a plastic film to form an HV filter capacitor between the metal bell and the conductive paint. As a bonus that part is grounded and maybe it keeps the metal bell from arcing to some random grounded spots inside the set.
I remember when estate sales were enjoyable; not anymore. The seller seemed to want top dollar for everything, and if he doesn't get it, most of that stuff will go to recycling. Sad that a lot of what he had will not wind up in the hands of those who truly know and appreciate what it is.
I agree. Sadly it's been this way for quite a while now since the advent of smartphones. Smartphones/ebay/Facebook marketplace and all the flipping/reselling shows. I used to enjoy going to the sales a lot more than I do now. Now I go there with the understanding that there will be rude aggressive folks,a line outside unless you go hours before it starts and that the prices will likely be sky high.
I think when you go to estate sales or the like the first sensation is to be overwhelmed then a small amount of panic sets in then you calm down and you start to take things in and look for stuff you think you really need. Then you go and splurge a load of money on some stuff you'll not look at in a decade. But sometimes you get it right and come away with some great finds you can do a lot with. Live for those days.
Looks like the guy is a real electronic hoarder and it looks like you were not going to leave with your treasured item intact. PS great view of California side countryside
Wow that estate sale is a lot to take in. I can't imagine how long it would take to look at even just 50 percent of it. Looked like some cool stuff though.
This is a rare one for sure! Seriously when is the last time we heard you cuss like that. :-) Totally understandable, necking the CRT. We feel the frustration! Also, want to say how much we enjoy your videos. Thanks for this one and all the others. You're saving marriages.
@@wernerhuehn674 In NYC they actually did! That is likely where this set was orginally sold and somehow made it's way to SoCal....My guess is the people were quite well off and moved from NYC to LA at some time after they bought the TV back in the 50s.
I'm with you on the resellers & flippers Shango. It's the same reason I don't go to Estate Sales and Flea Markets. I rarely even visit Goodwill anymore. Tons of overpriced crap here in WA state. We have some decent antique stores here though. I collect vintage transistor radios (50's-80's) and digital cameras. In fact, if you have any transistor radios or digital cameras you're looking to get rid of, I might just be interested!
I have read about the CBS color system utilizing rotating color disks that ran synchronized in front of the camera and picture tube. The FCC briefly licensed the CBS rotating color wheel system. RCA won out in the end. Have you ever come across any of the CBS rotating color disk receivers?
In the early 1950s a lot of people did not have tv... people would gather around Retail Store windows to watch a TV that was turned on to see what all the excitement was about. Retail Stores would give TV demonstrations to introduce TV to the public. Local Bars in those days had one TV in operation that was a big draw to customers who visited the bar to watch sports shows.
When it's that much stuff, honestly, the best method of selling it is via the "Goodwill Outlet" method: Sell it by the pound with some items priced as marked. That clears out stuff quick AF.
Shango,I go to estate sales all the time and have seen the same situations you've discussed here and worse. 99 per cent of the folks who show up at the sales seem to be flippers these days,not collectors,or hobbiests,some of them extremely aggressive and violent.Its changed a lot with the advent of smart phones and shows like pawn stars and american pickers. Everybodys a shark looking things up on their phones. I witnessed fist fights over record albums. A woman push another woman down a flight of stairs over a set of pyrex bowls she wanted to resell. Ive seen a man knock another man out over a Bernina sewing machine he claimed someone grabbed out of his hands,and two dealers having a catfight,following each other outside to damage each others cars after an argument over some George Nelson furniture. Ive seen flippers have "turf wars" with each other over someone moving their box/bag or other such marker saving their place in line before a sale. One time a flipper/dealer gave the people running the estate $500 to get inside early and buy all pieces he wanted before the sale and when it opened most of the things had "sold" signs on them and the guy showed up with a truck and started hauling furniture out. You put up with all this bs just to get into the sale only to he confronted by sky high,often higher than ebay prices,just like this sale here where the capacitors were $500. Then the estate people will complain later when they dont sell the stuff and it often winds up severely discounted in the final hours before the sale ends or winds up in the trash or at a thrift store. Yes sir,estate sales have changed a lot in the decades ive been going to them. It sucks but at least your aggressive Google lens guy did you a favor and left.

The irony of a CBS TV set using an RCA picture tube is amazing.
I was surprised too. I have tubes branded CBS so I imagine that RCA could have been a replacement.
That CBS is a true rarity. That is an excellent find. Much more rare than the 1954 RCA color.
When did RCA first offer color sets. I remember my neighbor in 1968, having the wooden floor set. Don't remember the screen size, however. 25", maybe?

Anyway, it will depend on the person and we went to many local sales over the years, some were better than others insofar as prices for the items were going for.
Omg the john wayne picture nearly gave me a seizure. Those were EVERYWHERE when i was a kid.
I could tell your anxiety was high before you even mentioned it on your drive back. Hell I was feeling it too with the 5 person limit and the sound of people digging around. It was great seeing what you filmed and sorry to had to experience the busted tube neck. I look forward to more TV videos.
Brake light on. Eather the oil is low or the sensor of the oil is not working and making a short or at the brake pads the wire that goes to the brake pad itself is touching ground making the light go on. There is a 3rd thing and that is the hand brake. If the switch is rubbing against itself or something that makes that light go on. You, being shango066 should restore the correct function of that light man. Best regard and I love your work. I hope you have a great future. You deserve to be rich. I am a repair guy that do everything like you and I like to help people with their stuff and I know they abuse us in the way that they like that we sort the things for them but they never pay us what is just. But that is another conversation. Big hug from Portugal.
That tv looks stylish and mellow yellow
Interesting to look at estate sales, a mans legacy working and hobby collecting now being sold off. I myself have a shed full of old technology waiting for my retirement however my kids have no interest in inheriting it and tell me that it all will get thrown in a dumpster and sent to the rubbish dump once I cark it. I can only hope I will make sure it will be passed on to someone who will make use of it and appreciate it as there are some really interesting pieces of history in my collection.
I found it's easier to leave all parts on the boards. A board is more easily recognizable than a part.
i get all giddy when i go to sales like that there could be anything
I don't go because of the people there. Impatient or know-it-alls.
Great piece of television. Greetings.
This beast is a work of art. I give it my seal of approval.
LFOD !
Just so you know, as a neurodivergent individual with autism, this man likely was not OCD. OCD stands for obsessive compulsive disorder, meaning, they have rituals they must perform in order to avoid "something bad" from happening and can rule their lives.
This level of organization could be Autism as many of us will be that fastidious about organization, lining things up etc.
ADHD can be the opposite, in that things left in piles is preferable as if hidden, it's out of mind and the person with ADHD will forget an item even exists being one of the symptoms of ADHD.
Just FYI.
Also, that set is wonderful and like the colorway of the avocado green and pale yellow and black with the blond wood.
19:37 1991 Mazda B2600i? You didn't get that fancy orange VFD digital clock on the peasant class base model. AWESOME! Probably even went to the In and Out for a good burger and everything that day... I miss my 2600i.
It’s strange how different countries are going with radio stations.
I’m in Australia and we have had a local station in Victoria rebirthed after being shut down 34ish years ago. 3GL that went from 1930-1990 came back on the air in march on there original 1341kz band playing non stop music from 50,60,70’s. 6 ads a hour and no news breaks. It’s really filled a gap over here, not one fm local station plays anything earlier than 80’s pop music.
Our AM stations are going because of the more conservative talk radio on many of them...also cost. If you can't hear the news anywhere else, you can hear it on AM. We have some real communist propaganda news over here in the US(A)SR.
I would love to have a station like that where I live.
PBS FM. Huge range of eras. I'm a subscriber because I like the EDM, but there's a huge amount of older stuff that other people like. No matter what genre the show is none of it is ever boring "hits", but rather interesting, obscure quality songs that sometime you'll never hear elsewhere. There's also RRR but the audio compression is a killer on that station so I don't listen.
They like to silence certain news shows so half of us only hear commie propaganda. Yeah, they hid my first reply because this media is in the sack with the same prop.
So when he necked it did he apologize and offer some money back?
The early color TV sets had metal color picture tubes in their they shielded themselves from the earth’s magnetic field. Newer color sets have the metal shield. There were early rectangular glass color picture tubes made of glass, and they’re rare to find
Many people think that CBS was simply a name attached to other companies products (and sometimes they were), but there really was a CBS Electronics---they built much of their own stuff, as well as some of the phonos for Columbia. I have one of the CBS-built Columbia suitcase phonos (one of their hifi models) and it sounds amazing
Looks like even though they upgraded the CRT, the bezel is still for the 19 tube. - Wow 21axp22 with good emission!! I hope the new owner does a video on plugging this in. You are correct the reds are amazing on this tube.
I'm mixed... ebay parts are usually good stuff. And so I'm not so hard on flippers. But I appreciate that you are a great home for this stuff.... Thanks for the tour.
Wow, a CBS roundy.
looks like '54. a piece out of a twilight zone or Alfred Hitcock Presents. a busy Saturday, will check it out this Eve. no cataract evident on it!
That estate sale was amazing. May not see one like that ever again. Too bad about prices.
Not a good day. Quite a nice collection though. Thanks for sharing despite the anxiety.
very special early color tv.
This is an absolutely beautiful set. Wish I could find a color roundie.
What a wild never-throw-out-anything sale! I noticed a Hickock 15560 tube tester in there at 25:00 ...I bought one of those this last week at my local recycling joint and a Crosley AA5 radio for silly cheap. It (the tester) has the glass on the main meter smashed and YES I'm looking to sell it for lots more. I find estate sales are very high priced, full retail Plus.
I didn't expect a 21 inch tube. I thought the only tube in '54 was 15 inches. Great set.
wow 6 am and the high way is busy
Have interest in TV though I didn't work for this company I got in to TV in the 1970s working for Sylvania TV till it's closing(thank you Hillary) but we referred rounds for many years😢 thank you for walk down memory lane. 😢
I love this video! I enjoy shango getting irritated in these type of events. That fact that someone busted his tube on that tester jig...that was funny as hell. These are the videos I enjoy the most.
Nice looking tv😊
Nice video and yes some people just want too much for stuff. Necking a CRT awful hate that when that happens. thanks Shango for great video Mike
The vintage stereo stuff is a hot commodity, I can see why they are lined up to buy it up
Now is the one crazy over the top collection, was about to wear out my pause button.
When I was in high school, I used to unsolder components from scrap PC boards. The difference was that I was a cash-strapped teenager with nothing better to do. This just borders on OCD!
I'm looking forward to your review of the Quodosen DX-286. I've had one for a week and am pretty impressed but there is a learning curve. The antenna/amplifier options are impressive. If you get this thing away from interference, you can switch to the telescoping antenna on AM/MW which outperforms the ferrite bar. This radio eats batteries though.
Those prices were way out of line. Try dividing the prices by 10 to start getting in line.
400 for this CBS in such condition was a big deal though.
Marketing campaign. You hit the nail on the head.
The thought comes to mind whenever the flippers show up it is like flies on a fresh carcass and the sad remains of someone's life.
Thanks for taking us to the sale. I'm sorry it was such a miserable experience. The trays of recycled carbon resistors. That's a different era mentality for sure. I had to laugh at the audio signal generator that guy used to align radios. Why would you bother. These days everyone has access to cheaper, better and more accurate test equipment.
Dude, love your videos. I'd actually like to meet you someday.
A real beauty! Nice to see one for once that isn't covered in dead spiders or 3 inches of desert crud lol
Leave a note with the seller with your name and phone number and tell them that before they put it in a dumpster, you can come by and give them some money and haul some of it away saving them work and allowing them to make a little more money. It’s better than it going into the garbage at a complete loss.
No, they won't do that, they are afraid that once they start, every one leaves their number to sit and wait for the call. They rather destroy it.
*Wow that guy was a horder of the first order!*
LOL I can smell the Dust cooking when this gets powered up just looking at it so nostalgic
Holy smokes! This one is gonna' be real good! A CBS brand electronic TV? I honestly hadno idea that CBS made them. First time I ever hear of or see one. Very rare indeed!
CBS had to eat their pride using the APPROVED rca technologies. RCA raked in a lot of license fees 1950s right up to late 1960s.
What an antique find, never saw one of these. I wonder what these sold for back in '54?
I watched your video of that sale, so neat, a shame we couldn’t have met him before meeting St. Peter at the pearly gates. It’s a dog eat dog world where pro people flock, not giving anyone a chance. Money can be made using eBay and Facebook market place. Too bad the sharks are in the water. At least they know the value of the stuff, and there’s enough suckers to pay premium plus price to have it. Different story if there was no interest.
At 12:33 I think they used conductive paint on top of a plastic film to form an HV filter capacitor between the metal bell and the conductive paint. As a bonus that part is grounded and maybe it keeps the metal bell from arcing to some random grounded spots inside the set.
I remember when estate sales were enjoyable; not anymore. The seller seemed to want top dollar for everything, and if he doesn't get it, most of that stuff will go to recycling. Sad that a lot of what he had will not wind up in the hands of those who truly know and appreciate what it is.
I agree. Sadly it's been this way for quite a while now since the advent of smartphones. Smartphones/ebay/Facebook marketplace and all the flipping/reselling shows.
I used to enjoy going to the sales a lot more than I do now. Now I go there with the understanding that there will be rude aggressive folks,a line outside unless you go hours before it starts and that the prices will likely be sky high.
I think when you go to estate sales or the like the first sensation is to be overwhelmed then a small amount of panic sets in then you calm down and you start to take things in and look for stuff you think you really need. Then you go and splurge a load of money on some stuff you'll not look at in a decade. But sometimes you get it right and come away with some great finds you can do a lot with. Live for those days.
Looks like the guy is a real electronic hoarder and it looks like you were not going to leave with your treasured item intact. PS great view of California side countryside
Wow that estate sale is a lot to take in. I can't imagine how long it would take to look at even just 50 percent of it. Looked like some cool stuff though.
This is a rare one for sure! Seriously when is the last time we heard you cuss like that. :-) Totally understandable, necking the CRT. We feel the frustration! Also, want to say how much we enjoy your videos. Thanks for this one and all the others. You're saving marriages.
Shout-out to Long Island City NY. You'll never see that again.
*I'm trying to imagine the excitement of the first owners of this set when they turned it on the the very first time and saw the picture in color!*
Except no stations broadcast in color then. 😂
@@wernerhuehn674 In NYC they actually did! That is likely where this set was orginally sold and somehow made it's way to SoCal....My guess is the people were quite well off and moved from NYC to LA at some time after they bought the TV back in the 50s.
Greetings and happy evening Shango and fans 🎉
I'm with you on the resellers & flippers Shango. It's the same reason I don't go to Estate Sales and Flea Markets. I rarely even visit Goodwill anymore. Tons of overpriced crap here in WA state. We have some decent antique stores here though.
I collect vintage transistor radios (50's-80's) and digital cameras. In fact, if you have any transistor radios or digital cameras you're looking to get rid of, I might just be interested!
All those early TVs, radios, hifis record players and other things being displayed outside. Looks like the weather forecast was not calling for rain.
Gran Pieza de televisión. saludos.
Brings to mind a line from All In The Family - "the more you possess the more you are possessed."
Lots of interesting stuff there. If it's like estate sales around here they will drop the prices a lot on the final day of the sale.
I have read about the CBS color system utilizing rotating color disks that ran synchronized in front of the camera and picture tube. The FCC briefly licensed the CBS rotating color wheel system. RCA won out in the end. Have you ever come across any of the CBS rotating color disk receivers?
In the early 1950s a lot of people did not have tv... people would gather around Retail Store windows to watch a TV that was turned on to see what all the excitement was about. Retail Stores would give TV demonstrations to introduce TV to the public.
Local Bars in those days had one TV in operation that was a big draw to customers who visited the bar to watch sports shows.
When it's that much stuff, honestly, the best method of selling it is via the "Goodwill Outlet" method: Sell it by the pound with some items priced as marked.
That clears out stuff quick AF.
It hurts my feelings to see an RCA tube in that CBS set. How the general must have razzed Paley at the 1954 cocktail parties over that...
22:04 150 for a signal tracer? Insane...
Just pure greed.
@@horseathalt7308 lol and 180 for the RCA scope... I bet that the Tek 555 will go for one grand XD
Texan, and proud of it.
I wish i could have been there that looks like the roundy enthusiasts dream estate sale
Shango,I go to estate sales all the time and have seen the same situations you've discussed here and worse. 99 per cent of the folks who show up at the sales seem to be flippers these days,not collectors,or hobbiests,some of them extremely aggressive and violent.Its changed a lot with the advent of smart phones and shows like pawn stars and american pickers. Everybodys a shark looking things up on their phones. I witnessed fist fights over record albums. A woman push another woman down a flight of stairs over a set of pyrex bowls she wanted to resell. Ive seen a man knock another man out over a Bernina sewing machine he claimed someone grabbed out of his hands,and two dealers having a catfight,following each other outside to damage each others cars after an argument over some George Nelson furniture.
Ive seen flippers have "turf wars" with each other over someone moving their box/bag or other such marker saving their place in line before a sale. One time a flipper/dealer gave the people running the estate $500 to get inside early and buy all pieces he wanted before the sale and when it opened most of the things had "sold" signs on them and the guy showed up with a truck and started hauling furniture out.
You put up with all this bs just to get into the sale only to he confronted by sky high,often higher than ebay prices,just like this sale here where the capacitors were $500. Then the estate people will complain later when they dont sell the stuff and it often winds up severely discounted in the final hours before the sale ends or winds up in the trash or at a thrift store. Yes sir,estate sales have changed a lot in the decades ive been going to them. It sucks but at least your aggressive Google lens guy did you a favor and left.
20:43. That's the first time I ever saw a turn signal used in LA!
shango time!
Fantastico TV!!!
That was nuts. Times have changed for the much worse.
@Shango066 could that gold paint be the same as the paint that comes in that rear defroster repair kit? So it's like a conductive paint
26:58 I bought that exact same drill press in 1984.
