It's good to see someone changing parts and observing the effect rather than just blowing through the caps. The end result is the same but the journey is much more interesting. And if you make a mistake when blowing through it's far more difficult to work out what went wrong. Nice work.
I was a kid in the early to mid 70's. We had a used black and white Philco "Caravan" portable 19 inch tv. It was meant as a spare, in case our 25 inch color console quit working. I used to look down the ventilation slots and observe the glow of the tubes, feeling the warmth, and it had a certain smell, not a bad smell, just a smell. It used to give me a good feeling looking at the tubes and feeling the heat in my face. Anyway, nice Magnavox.
What's more fun to watch, Shango going through every Los Angeles AM radio station or radiotvphononut going through the Meridian Mississippi cable channels. (just kidding, smile, thanks for a good video).
@@thethirdrail8397 You're right, I like to listen to the old clips of 93KHJ and 77 WABC (lived in NY and LA as a kid) on CZcams, especially the Real Don Steele. That's back when both music and radio were great.
What's in motion, stays in motion. It's a common false misconception, that if you don't turn something on and run it in a long time, that it won't break. You try that with a car, more then likely your going to have things on the vehicle and engine rotting out. The fuel going bad over time, especially with the ethanol added in it nowadays.
I think that is the same t.v my family once had, back in the early 90's. but the tv we found at a rummage sale - was made out of plastic and the color was white! well, off color white, due to the age of the set.
Hey, Mr. Radiotvphononut, that’s the year I was born!! Although TV’s, 📺 radio’s and record players started taking a downhill decline on quality at this time, these TV’s 📺 are certainly better than Walmart’s flatscreen 📺 television set of today. Those CRT TV’s 📺 were daily drivers. They could stand the test of time, maybe 🤔 🆙 to 25-30 years, if tube type. Even the CRT could be replaced. Try that on for size with a flatscreen TV 📺 of 2024!! It’ll be in the dump before 2027 has the chance to arrive!! Thanks 😊 for resurrecting these old TV 📺 sets. Please keep 🆙 the GREAT 😊 work, Mr. Radiotvphononut!! Your friend, Jeff!!
Very good but lengthy video on this Magnavox B&W portable television set (made in the same year I was born). I'm wondering why you didn't use your Sencore CR70 to check its kinescope? Also, weren't you going to connect a Sencore analyst to make final adjustments to it? Would this be your Sencore VA48? Other than that, when checking for capacitor 'leakage' with the higher voltage settings that are beyond the questionable/suspected capacitor's rated (working) voltage using the Heathkit C-2, cause its neon light to 'blip' than hardly at all with the voltage settings below that questionable capacitor's rated voltage?

I have been collecting radios for 48 years now, and just to let you guys know that I replaced the electrolytic capacitors in some of the ones that I started over 40 years ago collecting. And now when I turn some of them on even with bringing them up slowly on my variac the electrolytic have gone bad New Old Stock electrolytic with no and very little hours of use have gone bad in these radios that I have restored 40 years ago my case in point electrolytic along with other caps do not have a lifetime shelf life
they certainly can deform with long disuse, but will vary with brand and quality, i have a 1957 transistor portable, physically rough but 'virgin' electronically ,all original, and works perfectly, most of my transistor sets have not needed new electrolytic caps,
These videos always keep my interest as I use to repair these sets back in the day. Hey , when are ya gonna do that "Red record player for the blind " ?
So let me ask. You are testing these capacitors at rather high voltage for leakage. For example 400 to 600 volts. Are these caps rated for high voltage like that, and if not, wouldn't they leak at voltages they aren't rated for? I noticed that in the microfilm I saw lower voltages than 400 volts the caps tested where in. Essentially why test at voltages they are not rated for and do not operate in? Not saying your wrong by any means. Thank you for your time.
I am wondering if when the screws and washers fell off of the handle down inside the cabinet if they might have touched something and caused the fuse to blow, and nobody messed with it after that.
On CRT TVs up to the mid-2000s, could users' setting preferences affect the life longevity? I know a lot of more recent tube sets, from 1990s up to 2008 or so, shipped with the 'Contrast' or Picture setting maxed. On the two that I either bought or received new, I promptly lowered that setting to the mid-point, and adjusted the Brightness(black level/ bias) until detail in darker parts of the picture were just visible under normal room light conditions.
Hey what are your thoughts on a 1985 Sharp Linytron 19” model 19PK15 CRT tv, with knobs and woodgrain siding? Have you experienced any known issues with those Sharp CRTs?

Good repair video Bryan. Those Japanese b&w sets of that era were good performers and were priced fairly.

Hey, we may never see those stations again once they go away. someday that is! it could be today, this month this year, Next years... etc..

Found the UART port on my DTV box. There's some interesting stuff, like poking and proding memory, changing the config, emulating the remote, etc.

That sure looks familiar. We had one way back when...

I've already started on it. I just need to get the video edited together.
The parts from the handle might have blowin the fuse arcing something

...possibly...

Cranking the brightness/contrast will definitely make the tube age faster. I don't think any other user settings could make a difference.
Hey what are your thoughts on a 1985 Sharp Linytron 19” model 19PK15 CRT tv, with knobs and woodgrain siding? Have you experienced any known issues with those Sharp CRTs?
Mainly cold solder connections, bad capacitors, and an occasional bad flyback transformer.
Hey are you ok?
1:31:07 The brightness appears to be up too much. Everything looks blue.
