Turn the volume down on your signal generator so we can hear you over the probing,I've got my volume set right down,but then struggle to hear what you are saying.

Me entero que los discos de 16 realmente existieron. El stereo que mi padre compró en 1962 incluía la velocidad 16 pero nunca hubo discos en Chile,, al parecer no dio resultado, nunca más se habló sobre ese proyecto discográfico.

I'm glad its in your hands and not some electric guitar maniac that would make a guitar amp out of it

If you were servicing anything else that had more wattage and B+ the way you are spraying cleaner in the "live" vr's and probing around in there with that dental pick it would be catastrophic. Ken you sure have a strange way of repairing things on this channel considering the experience you have over the years of this hobby. I hope the ones who are new to these repairs don't exactly follow this logic just for safety reasons alone.

It sounds great. I was so impressed with the WOW and Flutter results.

Why not use an actual compression driver?

You could make it stereo then. Brilliant.

FD is flat display? New FD tube appears in Philco ad

I had one that ran the same way but it has cogs on it like a gear and they were worn down

I wonder if an old degaussing coil can be temporarily used as a loop antenna. When I was working on radios and needed a loop antenna I would just take a line cord and wind it in about a six inch circle about 5 turns and it would work its not that critical but not optimal. The antenna trimmer alignment must be done with the sets antenna.

Back in the day a lot of money was made from tube testers. Just because it shows in the red doesn't mean its bad it means they wanted to sell you a tube 😅. It can still work but not at its best. You're absolutely right. If it reads in the red its questionable. Tube testers are overrated unless its a military grade tube tester they operate the tube under load at maximum voltage. I have a little small tube tester and it has very little components its basically a test to see if the filiments are good and if it has any emissions at all. You have to know your own equipment.

Do you have a dim bulb tester

Hello Kent good to see you again 👍

224 vs 274 In Canada the newer two speed model was named the 274. Much simpler mechanically and easier to service.

When the Tube Tester is in the "Red" it's bad not "questionable" The "Yellow" area with the "?" means "questionable" I'm just adding this comment because when you checked the second tube it was in the "red" and you kept saying it was "questionable" . This may be a bit mis-leading for those who are new in vintage electronics by you saying the wrong readings when testing these tubes. There is a '?' question mark on the gauge and the reason they used a question mark is just that - meaning "questionable".

Hey Kent, I really enjoyed the video and appreciate you putting it together. We just might be long lost brothers separated at birth. 😄 Our radio shack’s look similar and I’m also a ham operator but really enjoy collecting older SW and SSB portables, doing basic repairs and then comparing them and changing radios from time to time. Cheers Daniel.

Por favor podría enviarme el archivo para imprimir el centrador de 45 rpm muchas gracias

I have the 715 and the 716. You got a great deal. I paid $30.00 for one and it didn't have the case and didn't work. Don't pull out the antenna, you will be sorry. You can pull out the black plastic cover and glue the antenna down. Otherwise, the flopping of the antenna will break the thin antenna wires.

I have one of these, i need to find another to pair with it and i need to geythe instructions.

Cool, was the red trim original?

Good save Kent, don't beat yourself up on the neck break that looks to be a break from thermal shock or stresses in the tube. It happens, look on the bright side you have more space in the shack. I see there is a lot of Dag flaking it may help to sort that.

NICE

YAY. Nice picture. I replaced a 20 inch B&W CRT with a 19 inch CRT in a radio-gram/TV set. I called it my Tellygram. It took a lot of faffing about, but eventually it worked perfectly.

Awesome job Kent 👍🏻

I have a question to those that repair these old analog tube type TVs. Just what use are they put to after you get them working???? In most areas there are no analog broadcasts anymore plus the picture quality is honestly pretty bad compared to todays sets. Looks like a waste of time to me.

Kent if you look at the 45:30 mark in this video it clearly shows all the 17BP4 Picture Tube and all the types of this Tube (A,B,C,D) in the SENCORE book (7th one down from the top left page). How in the world you didn't see this is mindblowing! Had you would have noticed that # tube was in the book when you first looked you may have never cracked the neck of the Tube because I believe that happened when you removed the socket and hung that heavy homemade adaptor on it that was most likely wired wrong and arced internally to the neck and cracked it being wired incorrectly causing it to short. I enjoy your mini reel to reel repairs as well as your piano videos, but in the future please leave the vintage CRT tube sets for Shango. ;)

You only need the battery for the Ohms, so I leave a battery out of mine. And use a digital meter for the resistance testing.

I love the Triplet meter. So accurate. I've got a cheap 80's analoge meter, (good enough for what I do), but it's not a good.

That meter is super fast!

Mail it to mister Carlsons Lab. He knows how to fix it

Bringing the dead to life is tricky business

Oh no. :( That's the worst that could happen. I'm so sorry.

As soon as I saw the TV I thought, Shango would just plug it in. LOL.

Coming up Next = 3d Video on a Wire

Great job 👏

Hermosa radio,genial!!!!

The one I have is remarkably clean with no sign of wear. It must be a defect from the factory. With a finger, I have to put a little pressure on the capstan and push toward the pinch roller when it begins to drag on playback. Pinch roller is clean. Any ideas?

old TV Built Way too good

Good work getting that back working. Q: what sort of stylus is in use ?. I would have expected the disc to become damaged during searching but it does not seem to.

I have a new respect for you Kent. That thing looked like a nightmare to work on and you somehow tackled that mess with great results!

Cool, it sounds great. I wonder if that stuff you cleaned the record with was causing the squeal during recording ?

"I won't be able to turn it in for warranty" 🤣🤣

Haha, counting the discs when the _unused_ box -- wow about that, itself -- says "100 discs" in big text.

Manufactured right in the middle of the Cuban middle crisis

Great haul. That's a lot of records. I had a similar machine that used magnetic disks. It was playback only, so I put in the circuit from a cassette recorder. It worked well enough, but I only had one disk for it. 😞

Lovely meter and surprisingly simple circuitry compared to the AVO's which are hand selected resistors for calibration. 6kV is pushing it. The dial is so clear I am envious and on the search. Thanks for posting.

What a beautiful meter. I love using analog meters, I still have 2 of them from the 80's.

Where do the keys go back in? "We'll figure it out." You know- it would have been a whole lot easier to just place them in the order you removed them in the first place!

When I was a kid my mom picked up a similar organ second hand from somebody who gave it away. I was brand name Magnus. It was all plastic and inexpensive but a little better than toy grade. It worked the same, basically like an accordion. It had a keyboard that was about an octave longer and more chord buttons, I think there were 8 of them. It had plenty of wind in the pump to sound clear and strong, the chord reeds responded instantly and it still had plenty of wind to sound clear on almost anything played simultaneously on the keyboard unless you mashed all the keys with your hand sideways, then it would start to run out of wind. The keys were numbered and it came with a play-by-number songbook that had traditional staff music notation with the corresponding key number under each note and the appropriate chord button under the staff, to enable the novice to play songs without reading music.
