    Wow! What a tearful nostalgia that is! For I was a TV technician; for RCA Service Company for 33+ yrs; before GE bought it in 1988. I didn't want to stay; because GE TV's were no where what I was used to. So I quit. And later retired in 1996.
    Yes, I have fixed a number of those first portable RCA TV's. Wow, I haven't thought about them for a very long time. And I sit here watching one. Wow. I will be 90 yrs old on April 5th and I was hired by RCA in 1953; and I loved it every day. I will take it to my death. Praise Jesus.

    I used to work at the old factory building that produced a TV under the name Raytheon power tube under the name Dumont. Back in 1957 the BW TV small portable size costs $250.00 in the US and that equivalent to 3K today. When Hawaii became the US 49th state in 1959, my mother shipped the TV made in USA that called "portable unit" it was 15" Sylvania and she paid closed to $150.00 for the whole paycheck at Navy hospital nurse.

    I had one of these but left it at my parents' home, which was sold after they moved to assisted living. Mine worked, but had an intermittent problem that caused the horizontal hold to lose lock when the set was fully warmed up. This TV was a true marvel of miniaturization for the 1950s as the case was hardly larger than the 9" picture tube, and it used large-format tubes!

    I have a rather pristine version of this set that I fully recapped years ago. They are not the best performers with no aluminised tube or DC restoration. That said, they do work good in a moderately lit room. They were intended as a personal TV and sold for around a hundred dollars in 1956, 57.

    I look at this "chemtrails" phenomenon (26:53) with jaundiced eye, as I have seen stuff like this in the sky as far back as I can remember, around 1963 or so. These are condensed ice crystals from the exhaust plumes of jet aircraft. Portable, low-budget television sets of the mid-1950's were fairly novel at that time and priced accordingly. It was just as true back then as it is today --- you get what you pay for.

    If anyone wanted to prove that contrails contained chemicals, all they would have to do is build an easy to obtain spectrum analyser, they can be made from an old DVD and a pin hole box.

      Chemtrails? The problem with that is, if something is aerosolized at 30,000 feet with the wind it would be dissipated to a minuscule amount and would be hundreds or thousands of miles before it touched ground. Chemtrails would be a lousy way to dispense chemical’s. Our water supply is a far better way like they do with fluoride, or even or food. Chemtrails is what non-critical thinkers believe in.

    They were really pushing that 1V2 to its limits there. And 9000 volts on a brown Bakelite socket? Amazing.

    Here in the UK our small black and white tvs were made by Ferguson, the Ferguson Courier was one of the best portables ive ever seen for picture quality. its true shango, the picture on yours looks so bad, so much so id argue the contrast circuit is not working.

    Occasionally my dad brings up having one of these portable B&W’s he had to share with my aunt back in the day.
    It got handed down when my grandparents got the new color set for their bedroom, he’d hear them watching the Ed Sullivan show on.

    Puts me in mind of the lipstick red gold trim RCA Model 14-S-7070G as the 100b came in the same color scheme too. It would be nice to find the original factory stand for that television.

    Enjoyed the troubleshooting - as always. Sorting out an old TV is still an education in electronics, even if it is +60 years old. I appreciated it very much! I really think that "Belting that CRT with the Beltron" (rejuvenate) is something that should have been done - tho. After all, you now have a good picture bulb if it should all go sideways. 73.

    Another very brutal, but very effective repaire. But personally, I remembered when I was still a child and watched my grandfather's old shitty Soviet TV with picture quality even worse than that. Thanks for the memories...

    The 8DP4 is capable of producing a nice picture. I had an Emerson Port-O-Vision TV radio combo with that tube. These are compact, personal TVs, with cramped electronics. I found the Port-O-Vision ran quite warm. I would look for issues with the video output section on this set.
