Because of you I have picked up a beautiful 1958 Unitra "Belweder" TV, first TV made in Poland after WW2 using only polish components (which is kind of a breakthrough because the big brother USSR didn't really want their satellite states to make anything of their own, just buy from them). I'm working up the courage to start resurrecting it.

Luckily I do hit one antique market around my town that has a bunch of old radios in stock always with fair prices for their condition. I've wanted an old tube set television for a long time, hope I find one someday. If I lived near Shango I would probably end up adopting every set he doesn't want lmao, my collection is already pretty huge considering my pretty limited access to vintage electronics around here.

@@ixionn563 Interesting (Big Country, the USA). I've got about a dozen sets from about 1963 (B&W TV began in 1960). No roundies or valve (tube) color sets ever seen here - non existent . Color started in '73. All PAL (better picture, I suppose), no NTSC. The early 60s sets here, are cool, but seeing valve color roundies, or 1940s 50s sets on KZitem, is like a glimpse of heaven for me. All our TVs (picture (screen) tubes) are the rounded rectangle with slightly bulging top, bottom, and sides until the corners became somewhat sharper in the late 70s. 1940s TVs just blow my mind. I had a book from about 1946 (from USA) called "The history of television" of course I lost it when I was younger & less settled.. but it was amazing to me how early TV was established in the States.

I hate the way those bright yellow things look in an old radio, plus the set is mostly original anyhow, so I thought I would try it just for the challenge. If all goes well I may try it with the Bumblebees in my Zenith T.O G-500, since it's one of the less common T.Os.

For someone from the UK there's so much weirdness in the part of this video where you pick it up. Firstly I don't remember the last time I saw something dumped by the side of the road like that; the local authorities would be handing out fines rather quickly and I would very much doubt someone would abandon a very old set like that, they'd be looking to get some coin for it on ebay. Of course in our wet climate it'd be screwed within 48 hours anyway. Then there's the whole business of homeless guys in a residential area - that's scary stuff, is that really an issue there?

When I lived in metro NY. They used phone booths as piss posts. The pee would decompose after time and create a stink that would make you choke. They removed all public phone booths in the mid 70s by order of the NYC health Dept

Too bad this thing got trashed...Hoffman made some very nice TVs and radios and they were also an important contributor to the US space program.

Save that power transformer, even if you cannot resurrect or restore the set. People are looking for one of this size. Hammond Manufacturing Co. sells them new for around $100. Sell it on EBay, if nothing else.

The 6AV6 is grid leak biased woth 10M so the coupling cap is very critical and could explain the lack of gain.
