It is sometimes possible to use the EHT to weld the cathode back. Nothing to lose. Sorry if you covered this, I won't get to whatch the video until tonight. The last time I seen it done was in my friend's TV shop about 10 years ago, it was a Panasonic quintrix with red cathode open. It worked, put theres know way to know how long it would last.

By the end of his career, repairing cracked printed circuit boards, he knew there was little future in TV repair; just dispose and buy a new one.

A color set with that many tubes and a round CRT is what you call a "Last Gasp" set. It would have been the cheapest "Large Screen" color set on the market in 1967 and was probably sold into 68 maybe even 69 to use up the last stock of round CRT's. On the other end of the spectrum, you had RCA in 1968 releasing the "Model 2000" showpiece set which was completely solid state except for the HV rectifier and CRT, and had a varactor diode tuner" and in 1969 they released the more pedestrian CTC-40 series which lost the expensive tuner and computerized control circuits bust still only used two tubes.

I began working with colour TV much later than 1967, because colour TV in Europe was delayed by a colour standard war (PAL Vs SECAM), so by that time both 90° CRTs and vacuum tubes chassis were gone. By the time colour become mainstream, also delta phosphors were gone, we mostly had in-line CRTs. The inline hadn't that horrible 50 trimpots dynamic convergence panel of the Delta types. I enjoyed your video as that TV was few years before my time; Philco was one of the best TV brands, also available in EU. Thank you for posting this, I truly appreciated it. Regards,

Yes, as you said, I well remember seeing terrible pictures on old color TVs, still in use, in some friends homes, especially in the mid-70s and early 80s. One friend in about 1973-74, they had a beautiful RCA ctc-16 roundie, in a colonial maple cabinet, with nice sound. I recall watching cartoons there, one Saturday morning. As we watched, the color sync would frequently break out into "barber polling." I curiously asked, "how long has it been doing this?" My friend's mother said, "oh, at least a year" it didn't seem to bother them! It was 'killing' me, because all I could think, is it likely only needed a few tubes replaced in the color circuit!😊

TV manufacturers were very slow to switch over to transistors or "Solid State" as it was called then. Philco made small fully transistorized B&W portable sets as early as 1959 but, never caught on. Sony ran with this idea and did quite well in sales. Growing up in the 1960's, Dad bought an RCA 12" fully transistorized portable in 1966, which had poor reliability (sorry, I don't remember the KCS number). As a retired electrical engineer now, I believe the TV engineers designing the products then, really didn't understand transistor operation very well. Looking back, I saw circuits that were allowing the base-emitter junctions to be reverse biased and collector-base junctions to be forward biased, with no current limiting (guaranteed poor reliability). Transistors cost more than tubes in the early 1960's so, the increased ticket price probably reduced sales. Motorola was probably responsible for many advances in the TV world in the 1960's and 1970's, in addition to the modular design with plug-in PC boards ("Works in a Drawer", which came out in 1967), they also came out with chip sets that integrated most of the circuit functions into a few IC's, which ultimately tremendously reduced the cost of a color TV. Note that in 1965, an entry level color TV had prices that started at $300 or, about $5,000 in today's devalued currency. To change the subject a bit, concerning your comment about hybrids then, relating to electric cars today (4:50 minute mark), I don't see that happening any time in the near future, at least for electric cars that are charged by plugging into house power, the current electrical grid cannot support this increase in electrical power consumption (not even close).

My parents have had a total of 3 color tvs since the mid 60s. One was a Philco very much like this one with the round picture tube. It had a pretty good picture. The 2nd was a Sylvania. That was a decent tv too. Currently they have a Phillips Magnavox which is at least 20 yrs old and has never been serviced and still looks pretty sharp, even by today's standards. As a young man I also remember the high pitch squeal these old tvs made. My father used that noise as a diagnostic tool when he did service calls.

Thought I would add my 2 cents. As a TV Tech in the mid-1970's, I always referred to the 21" round CRT as the 70 degree deflection CRT. For the most part, these had much more pure colors than the 90 deflection CRT's and slightly better convergence. The 70° CRT's never had high brightness capability. The first rectangular color CRT was put out by Motorola in 1964, it was a 90°, 23" and had the same screen size as the RCA and Zenith 25" 90° CRT's that came out 2 - 3 years later. In the mid 1960's, an unknown Japanese TV manufacturer made sets for Sears with a rectangular color screen using basically a cutoff 70°, 21" neck, mated to a 14" bell. These were console sets with a fairly large wood cabinet with a small screen (due to the long CRT).

What you said about hybrid cars and techs not wanting to work on them at first is so true. I have been a tech since the late 90's and have seen first hand the hybrids roll out and the fear that came with them. Originally Toyota said they only had 1-2 tech certified in working on hybrids and they had to wear speacial grounding apparatus just to be able to work on them and not get fried. Now you see teenagers who never worked on a car in their lives out rebuilding their own hybrid batteries with an iPad and a KZitem video. I agree that it just takes time to get people used to working on new stuff. It also takes time for the aftermarket to build the tools and parts needed to repair new stuff.

Hello shango.I wanted to write this since a Long time. Basically I wanted to thank you for all your Videos. You are an amazing teacher regarding all These old Tvs and generall Technology.On my channel I also try to teach People electronics but I´m more into Basic circuits. What you offer here is some Kind of TV repair Person / Service technician apprenticeship and everyone can whatch whatever lesson the Person is into. It could be replacing a CRT - so more mechanical work ... or IF alignment on a TV or Radio. Really great stuff and watching your Videos - especially the Radio ones - you also mention stuff in a way that People who are not that familiar with that type of Technology will learn and understand how things work (As I´m not having that much knowledge about Tvs I do about radios)I know that everone is free to share his or her oppinion but you sometimes should be a tiny Little bit more thankfull about the ammount of analouge signals still on the air in your Country. Many other countries - especially Europe - have switched off their analouge stuff... Like Analouge Tv has been switched off many years ago here in Germany. It got replaced with "DvB-T" and funny wise - the new digital Tv Standard lately just got replaced with DvB-T 2 making the old converter boxes and Tvs with built in DvB-T (1) tuner useless (Well kinda). AM has been shut off in 2015 here - and unlike in your Country where you have this "part 15" and can set up your own house / neighbourhood broadcast Station (with the 100mW or less Limit) there is no such Thing here. We Radio friends found out that we at least are allowed to do some inductive Transmission... like transmitt a Signal over an old am ferrite antenna to a Radio with a built in ferrite antenna. There is no officiall Thing saying to do this but there is a law about field strength allowness / emitted and a few People (including me) asked "our fcc" (has a different Name) and they said they´re ok with that "playing around" as Long as we don´t get over the -15dµA/10m field strength... well.. so it´s not compareable to a "real" Transmitter.Part wise some Radio Museums that we have here got a licence for a 1W am Station to serve around the Museum and in the Museum... but if you ask as a "normal Person" you usually just get pushed away or like "basically it´s allowed... but there are soooo many laws and ... well better don´t even ask". What is kinda unfair for me because either everyone should get a Chance or noone should get a Chance to do this stuff.Like you have what was it? 10mW on FM... we have 50nW allowed in 2006... yes... 50 nano-watts... ehm... yeah...I could go on same with Amateur Radio. Extremly expensive here (just get a licence >200$) and compared to your Country you can barely do a Thing...I could write a really Long post but in a nutshell...I enjoy your Videos very much. You do awesome Content and I assume you know that. Keep up the good work and also Keep up the funny things and occasional sarcasm... but on the other Hand. If there´s another AM Station taken over from a spanish Service.. don´t be tooo mad about it... at least there´s still a Station on the air as here´s just silence over the whole band... and except for These "toy" "inductive" Modulators you´re also at the time I write this post not allowed to do some DIY broadcasting with some 10mW even if you have the highest Amateur Radio licence / class test passed.Suggestions for further Videos would be that you also explain a Little bit more about laws in your Country (I know really many but still I´d find that interesting). Also you could look into These "Video senders" that broadcast in the UHF band. Check out the antenna. Sometimes it´s missmatched (telescopic antenna pulled out max Transmitter does not go as far as if it´s pulled out to a certain length)You could explain a Little bit more about Transmitters in generall and make more Basic Videos. You´ve made some and they´re good but it´d be cool if you made more.Anyhow. Thanks for all your work. I really appreciate that.

In the U.K., you have to purchase a yearly license to watch over the air broadcasts. It's only 154.50 Quid. Then you get to watch Gov't run tv.

If you left the crap tube in it'd make a great prop for playing historical footage. Something about the washed out amber/sepia plus the echo-ey tone of the speakers where you are really creates an experience.

love all those testing equipment from back when. My dream job was to repair those tv sets but I had no one to explain to me (80s) how it worked. Thanks for sharing this much knowledge and making an old dream come true with state-of the-art repair best practice!! yeah that color, reminds me my early color tv days, it seems they all were missing blue :D

Damn, the only 21FJP22 on eBay is about $800. I remember when a rebuild was $75 and a new one was about $150. Those round tubes were far more durable than the rectangular ones like the 25ap22 which had a lifespan of less than 3 years with normal use.

We started HD digital simulcasting in the US in the late 1990s, then shut off analogue in 2009 (ten years already!) and now in the middle of a repack where 15 more channels will be changed over to wireless and two way use in a couple years.

I had that set but a square screen version. The set I had used a tripler and a note saying it was bad but here the fly back was shorted the tripler was good and on mine it used a 6hv5 add the hv regulator but everything still had a warm up time as the fly back boost voltage drove the Solid state IF circuit

I worked art rca tv plant in bloomington ind for 40 yearand the last round tube produced was (if Memory is right ) was produced in mid 1966- it changed to the square tube on the same production line and used the same chassis type (CTC17) -also for 10 years Rca held the paten rights to color t.V so every brand Color T.V, was made in bloomington plant -I started working for RCA in 1964 , by that time we only made a few of the other name T.V just because they didn't have a T.V to sell (J.C.penny was the last one I remember.)

My first "real" job was working for a small TV shop and the owner got hold of a Beltron prototype before they hit the market. El Cheapo (the owner) of course copied it and we went NUTS shooting CRT's and resurrecting junk sets from the boneyard and peddling them on the cheap. I'd say I was out installing filament boosters on at least half of them within a month and probably 80% went completely flat within 3 months. What a "miracle" it was...
