So true, modern TV and radio sux! I rarely watch or listen too....and what makes it worse is to watch / listen too these vintage gems, you have to deal with garbage / really bad programming!
Vintage Electronics Geek around here I can get 1930's big band music on AM radio It's a god damn miracle because I have an old zenith console radio and the music fits with it perfectly
I had that same problem with a Motorola bw console find on craigslist here in s florida could not find the volume switch it wound up being witch i thought was the uhf
Hey Corinna! I would have dropped a line to you the other night, but that happens when you go to bed at 6.30am twice in a row. Love your picture...Is that you??? Gorgeous. EDIT: (I fell asleep..at 8.30, I wrote that, but it disappeared)
Ha! Great video, loved every minute of it. That's a Motorola 19P35, the set I grew up with all through the 60's into the early 80's when it finally got hit by lightning (dad bought it brand new it 1963). Can't believe you even plugged it in, but then the damn thing starts working - too much! That's the only tv set we had, but in the 60's all you needed were channels 2 - 13 because there was so much great stuff on to watch. Keeping that set running is what got me started in electronic repair, and even though it's been dead and gone for over 35 years I still have the Motorola factory service manual for it. What a trip to see the inner workings of one again!
One historic aspect about this TV is that 1964 was the last year that it was legal to sell VHF only TVs in the US. (I wonder what the manufacturers and dealers had to do with their remaining inventories of sets like this one at the end of the year.) Indeed, it is fascinating that all of these vacuum tubes, save for the shattered high voltage rectifier, survived these harsh conditions for so many years. I doubt that germanium transistors (or possibly even early silicon transistors and ICs) could have survived this kind of abuse.
Really enjoy watching your videos, and it amazes me how you get a tv working that is showing the Clinton, Trump campaign 2016 on a set that was made just after Kennedy, and looked totally trashed.
Brilliant video, amazing that the audio still worked, with the original speaker. The HV was present minus the broken output tube. You are the true master in TV repairs, and your video's are the best and most interesting in TV resurrection on TH-cam. Keep up the excellent work mate.
Despite the dead spiders that lived in the high voltage, weeds growing everywhere (proves weeds DO grow anywhere), it still came to life, unbelievable!
The first TV I ever repaired was a 65 Motorola. I think it required one tube, tuner & pots cleaned. Adjustments. Friends passed it around until the 80s. Picture got a bit soft near the end.... love Motorolas.
This is Awsome man, Seeing these things which were abandoned for so long. a good chunk of our lives actually.. and here we are.. Running power through them once again..
Nicely done, but I'm curious how they could engineer something that gets so hot and be OK with it? Is it just me or has daytime television reached an apex of stupid? It's too painful for me to watch.
Fantastic clear picture for this 52 year old TV. That TV would have never expected to see digital transmitted TV images to be displayed on its tube. The replacement HV tube works very well. The glowing of the bulbs is awesome !
Amazing what little work it can take to get those desert sets going again. I keep hoping you'll delve into the metal cased RCA set from the "Testing CRTs and Old Television Graveyard" vid. That was the one that got me hooked on your channel. Those earrings are amazing. They make me want to go fishing. "And they lived happily ever after... until she accused him of cheating 3 weeks later. TUNE INTO THE NEXT MAURY TO FIND OUT IF HE'S A LYING BASTARD!!!!!" :|
That's often interesting and depressing... most things I take from the trash don't need any repairs. They just work. My high school once put dozens of Atari MegaST computers on the trash. I specifically asked them to just give them to me, which was denied. So I just "stole" three of them, without a bad heart.
Nice Video! I'm always amazed what these vintage TVs can go through and still work, yet a modern flat panel you can just look at it wrong and the screen cracks and in the trash it goes Lol.
Many flat screens need to be tied down, they use to come with a small cable for that. Kids running around I'm sure knock many of them off the stand. Or a wife throwing something at her husband...and missed!!
iworkout LOL, love how you said "Wife throwing something at her husband...and missed". Yeah it's a shame the poor tv cops it instead of the husband. Haha
11:38 Yep. Picked up a Sanyo 90's low end set at a flea market for free. It's moderately high hour and the tube is weak enough where "smearing" happens and text is hard to read. Which, is why I'm daily driving it. I want to see how bad one of these can get!
That vaping ad just reminded me of when my 13 year old son bought one home from school! A friend of his gave it to him with these bottles of different flavours, tasted nasty & I made my son give it back to his friend as I certainly don’t want him taking up smoking! It’s a disgusting filthy habit. :(
I would really like to have a black and white tube tv that has multiple tubes with plate caps like that one not sure if that tube is a damper or a horizontal out put or vertical Out put the B&W tvs I have don't use plate caps for those tubes only the high voltage rectifier tube has a top plate cap
Looks like although Motorola did their own thing that it was a good thing. The old, neglected, sun-baked set seemed to _want_ to go back to work. Who'da thought that Raid and Round-Up would be tools in a repairman's TV tool box?
Amazing picture on a set that's been baking in the desert sun for many years! I've noticed that Motorola does use quite a few oddball European tubes in their sets.
I found it hilarious that the TV basically worked after 60 years, and even better, the American news is comical. I would expect that kind of news reporting in a Fallout game. Best ever youtube video.
Simply amazing... I had "pre owned" B&W Motorola floor model back in the early 70's. That thing just kept on working, I left it with my ex house mates not sure what ever happened to it.

Did Funai ever make any 60s television sets? Atleast in my experience, the stuff they made in the 90s and 2000s are utter CRAP. Like, even for the time. I ask as I have one of their mid 2000's "enhanced definition" lcd sets that has an eeprom that's succumbed to bit rot, causing it to have one HELL of a "personality".
Wow now I see what us brits are missing out on as far as top quality tv goes.....Ricky lake on steroids.and the old tv is good.well done for it putting up with that rubbish on its screen Great video Shango,got to love it!
The buzzy audio is often caused by strong signals causing the video to clip. The audio is picked out of the video, so when the video clips, the audio does too. Sometimes a slight backing off on the AGC fixes the problem, if the TV has an AGC control.

+Shango066 hi, i am a big fan and a subscriber for a while, i hope you can have the time to answer me...i am trying to repair a german tv (nordmende), the raster on it is dim and i have to have the contrast and brightness all the way up...boost voltage should be 500v but it reads 300v and i have a voltage called "sperr" on the schematic wich should be 190v but it reads 120v...all the capacitors have been shotgunned...can you hint me where should i look at?
I'm trying to fix a GE 911 clock radio and wen I got it someone took out the audio output tube and put in the cases and I put back in and all the tubes lights up but nothing form the speaker
Is this one of the "affordable bare bones tv that anyone can get, last a long time and has the dissolving plastic shell that is supposedly good for the environment"?
The reason for the light/dark lines, loops, and/or on/off appearance of the CRT is because your camera shoots at 60fps, and NTSC video is displayed at 59.94fps. This difference is where the "Black" parts appear in various shapes and sizes when recording the CRT. When it's dark enough that the shutter speed is under 60fps (when it's dark), you get the whole image.
Is it a sign of sickness that I have watched all of Shango's video's.....every single one, and this is my 3rd time around lol.....its great that I keep forgetting them and can go around again lol.....
Then I am sick as well. I keep roto tweebulating back to this channel. The fascination with old tech and his unique personality.... Oh and of course the airplanes constantly checking out what he's up to. 👍
It doesn't speak well of TV channels when it's more interesting to watch you watch TV, than watching it directly.
So true, modern TV and radio sux! I rarely watch or listen too....and what makes it worse is to watch / listen too these vintage gems, you have to deal with garbage / really bad programming!

Blame the attempted communist overthrow of the west . . they are trying to turn us into mushrooms
Regular TV is full of commercials . They interrupt the program with long ads every few minutes. I hate that.
Never had satellite TV, haven’t had cable since 2001 and very rarely ever watch broadcast TV! I do watch Shango066 TV for the drama !!
I'm nominating this video as the best Shango066 video. Weeds, spiders, and all, yet audio and high voltage!
amazing that you were actually able to get this to even TURN ON!
Can't believe you got it working.
Crazy stuff man
Whats your opinion on Asbestos and wax insulated wires?
luv your videos... Are you going to Burningman this year?
I had that same problem with a Motorola bw console find on craigslist here in s florida could not find the volume switch it wound up being witch i thought was the uhf
how do i text a picture of the clean kitchen to get the wifi password if i got no internet?
MMS on your cellular network?
I might have to try that idea on my four kids. LOL 😜

mart fart OMG, did you just use the G word???......yeah the picture is me. 😱
mart fart I was 26 years old there. Shock horror at the least! 😝
TV Resto Coming up well, Personally I use my own videos as a source on TV's that way no risk of Copyright!
Plz buy now in this item how much
Almost beyond baked.... more like cremated

How lazy could the owner have been? They didn't even weed their TV set.
@@the8bitkid698 Just as long as the weed killer is not round up lol
LOL 😂
I'm honesty shocked that it worked with such minimal effort required. I think I'd just clean it up, put a new speaker in it and use it.
3 people need to get the hell off shango's channel

The Spider was only doing his job.
Yep leave that spider alone or re-locate to a near by bush.
Brilliant video, amazing that the audio still worked, with the original speaker. The HV was present minus the broken output tube. You are the true master in TV repairs, and your video's are the best and most interesting in TV resurrection on TH-cam. Keep up the excellent work mate.
"Continuing on with the Motorola...... Ugh, spider set."
Sounds like a good name for a rock group, "deep desert resurrection"
Despite the dead spiders that lived in the high voltage, weeds growing everywhere (proves weeds DO grow anywhere), it still came to life, unbelievable!
The first TV I ever repaired was a 65 Motorola. I think it required one tube, tuner & pots cleaned. Adjustments. Friends passed it around until the 80s. Picture got a bit soft near the end.... love Motorolas.
Shango You ROCK man. I love all you're videos.
38:06 This is the most I've watched the Rio Olympics.
Same here because my house antenna won't work! 😭😡
This is Awsome man, Seeing these things which were abandoned for so long. a good chunk of our lives actually.. and here we are.. Running power through them once again..
bet u are a very interesting person
The weeds are the only thing holding this TV together. So you might want to leave them in there.
Nicely done, but I'm curious how they could engineer something that gets so hot and be OK with it? Is it just me or has daytime television reached an apex of stupid? It's too painful for me to watch.

I specifically asked them to just give them to me, which was denied. So I just "stole" three of them, without a bad heart.
I can deal with the dirt and the weeds, but spiders... I would have to soak that thing in a gallon of Black Flag before I ever took it in the house.
Those earrings on the girl on Morey would make great fishing lures.
Nice Video! I'm always amazed what these vintage TVs can go through and still work, yet a modern flat panel you can just look at it wrong and the screen cracks and in the trash it goes Lol.
We find heaps of them at the local tip & all of them have smashed screens.
Many flat screens need to be tied down, they use to come with a small cable for that. Kids running around I'm sure knock many of them off the stand. Or a wife throwing something at her husband...and missed!!
iworkout LOL, love how you said "Wife throwing something at her husband...and missed". Yeah it's a shame the poor tv cops it instead of the husband. Haha
0:18 the dirt falling out of the bottom of the set completes it pretty well.
11:38 Yep. Picked up a Sanyo 90's low end set at a flea market for free. It's moderately high hour and the tube is weak enough where "smearing" happens and text is hard to read.
Which, is why I'm daily driving it. I want to see how bad one of these can get!
It's hard to imagine that other than a broken tube no parts were required to make it work again. Very decent picture.
That vaping ad just reminded me of when my 13 year old son bought one home from school! A friend of his gave it to him with these bottles of different flavours, tasted nasty & I made my son give it back to his friend as I certainly don’t want him taking up smoking!

lol
all that buzzing, sounds like your tv has done a trump
38:53 King Kong
The picture is so sharp you can see the chroma dots. Those TVs take a lickin' and keep on tickin'!
I would really like to have a black and white tube tv that has multiple tubes with plate caps like that one not sure if that tube is a damper or a horizontal out put or vertical
Out put the B&W tvs I have don't use plate caps for those tubes only the high voltage rectifier tube has a top plate cap
Looks like although Motorola did their own thing that it was a good thing. The old, neglected, sun-baked set seemed to _want_ to go back to work.
Who'da thought that Raid and Round-Up would be tools in a repairman's TV tool box?
all it needs now is a rat bed.. maybe keep it outside til it gains a resident?
"The Golden Voice has had too much to drink" Hahahaha!! love it!!!
Shang you sure love a challenge! You inspire me with my own projects :)
GROW UP!
Haha, funny. 😜
***** yep & you can throw a soccer ball at them & it just bounces off the screen but flat screen, **SMASH**. 😱
Still would like to know what you meant with the term, "GROW UP!" ???? 🤔
Sam Gates I've watched it over 20 times already! The weeds have already done their growing a long time ago because they are dead 💀. LOL 😂
Sam Gates exactly, just dead weeds. LOL 😂
you got it working those motorola's just keep motoring.
sounds like dubstep to me (the speaker)
Amazing picture on a set that's been baking in the desert sun for many years!
I've noticed that Motorola does use quite a few oddball European tubes in their sets.
climers are not braking news cnn
Damn, mother nature shows us once again who's boss, lol.
I've seen plenty of weird bugs inside old TVs but never any sort of plants xD.
Just super!!
How can that work so well like that!
You are the best.
thanks
40:38 "10Mbps HIGH-SPEED internet"
10Mbps is high speed? wow
love these desert find videos! :)
42:10-42:20 “Hell yes”😂 That cracked me up!😂😂😂 I love your sense of humor! I’m exactly like you!
I found it hilarious that the TV basically worked after 60 years, and even better, the American news is comical. I would expect that kind of news reporting in a Fallout game. Best ever youtube video.
Simply amazing... I had "pre owned" B&W Motorola floor model back in the early 70's. That thing just kept on working, I left it with my ex house mates not sure what ever happened to it.
Cheatgrass growing inside, random spiders marching about from from induced emf. LOL, Shango. I don't smoke either.........much.
What's unusual is, this is the first B&W set I've seen that uses a 3A3 HV rectifier.
My Motorola 1960 23" set uses a 3 volt filament HV rectifier.
Wow sound weed and sparky.Worth 5 bucks Shango let’s go.
Cheers Shango, the news footage was comical too
I recon they should let theses people complete their climbs.
Good picture. Nice electronics

I think I'm just gonna keep vaping, thanks... But no thanks commercial.
It's funny cause I had a 1960 Motorola that was rusty likes that and it had no vertical but everything else was perfect
Wow now I see what us brits are missing out on as far as top quality tv goes.....Ricky lake on steroids.and the old tv is good.well done for it putting up with that rubbish on its screen

(sigh...) why am I watching this? maybe your TVs are a proxy for my life. can I be resurrected ? or is there no hope. 😁
I laughed out loud at the "weeds out of the chassis" comment. I watch tons of these videos; very entertaining. Well done
I'm trying to fix a GE 911 clock radio and wen I got it someone took out the audio output tube and put in the cases and I put back in and all the tubes lights up but nothing form the speaker
But how? You said it was face down in the mud. You would think capacitors, wires, sheet metal and the crt...how?
Is this one of the "affordable bare bones tv that anyone can get, last a long time and has the dissolving plastic shell that is supposedly good for the environment"?
I think you found spiderman...dried out. Another cool vid
That's how America built stuff take it out of the dessert little adjustments still works
You have great channels and make very interesting video's thanks for sharing.
Who says gardening is not a necessary skill when fixing a TV?
FUNNY TRUMP TOWER! TV STILL WORKS UNBELIEVABLE!!
crazy american tv man
Yeah, that volume knob is nut's...cheers.
I had that TV it used a 19dsp4 in mine and the yoke was shorted on the horizontal

When it's dark enough that the shutter speed is under 60fps (when it's dark), you get the whole image.
Direct TV is broadcasting the Rio Olympics in 4K. It may look better on this TV if its in 4K.
I wish my tv would display it. 😭
Is it a sign of sickness that I have watched all of Shango's video's.....every single one, and this is my 3rd time around lol.....its great that I keep forgetting them and can go around again lol.....
Then I am sick as well. I keep roto tweebulating back to this channel. The fascination with old tech and his unique personality.... Oh and of course the airplanes constantly checking out what he's up to. 👍
Question: why does it buzz with text?
P.S. Latoya is cute
Reminds me of the tv sets in my youth that weren't worth a crap.
hey man, this is CA I've got some weed in my chassis
0:17 Was that TV in Pharaoh's tomb?
That cop was a moose, he could've snapped that dude up.
Never, ever, water your electronics!
if that was an lcd tv it will be to far gone to save!!
Maybe no6 took it
their is a place in ohio that rebuilds crt
That set looks like it has matsushita tubes
great picture from this old desert tv
Philips Miniwatt Valves were Holland made, they are Sylvania branded Philips Valves by the looks of it
