In the U.S., TV screen sizes were advertised according to the picture tube size, not the actual viewable image size, so they would hide the edges under a bezel to cover up convergence and focus errors. Making the entire CRT visible would require the image to be perfect edge-to-edge, increasing manufacturing cost. And often the TV programming itself would have lens shadow and camera tube convergence errors at the edges, as well as parts of the image that you weren't supposed to see (the boom mic or another camera in the shot) that you can now sometimes see when watching old TV shows on a modern flat-panel TV that doesn't have overscan.

Actually SECAM was much different from either NTSC and PAL. Generally PAL is very simmilar to NTSC as it uses the same QAM subcarrier carrying U/V components. SECAM uses two FM subcarriers and was transmitting only red and blue component. Green was reconstructed using a delay line and some sort of matrix encoding. The result was a crap but France always want to be different from Germany and England. SECAM has been dropped dropped in Eastern Europe just after fall of communism. This wasn't as complicated as it might looks like as TV studios and microwave transmission network were using PAL from the very beginning. SECAM signal was generated inside TV transmitter from provided PAL signal. SECAM was useless in video production due to picture quality degradation.

SECAM held up better in low signal environment. Also, it had good picture. I am Hungarian, we had SECAM until 1995, and old VHS recordings which were recorded in MESECAM before the PAL transition has much better picture, less color noise on saturated colors. One downside is that SECAM produces some bright red and blue speckles if there is a dropout on the tape.
@xsc1000

Secam was invented earlier than PAL. Secam tried to avoid QAM, so it sent R-Y line only and than B-Y line. You need delay line to reconstruct the missing information, so the vertical colour resolution is reduced. Green is produced like in other systems - by matrix from R-Y, B-Y and Y. PAL used more smart way - it used QAM like NTSC, but used delay line to correct phase errors.

SECAM is not a problem in these sets but if your converter can generate that audio carrier is a good thing.

Ulterior motive: Sometimes a really desirable tuner will appear on Ebay, such as the Sansui TU-X1, and it is selling for a reasonable price, because it too has the low freq FM band for the Japanese market. Your conversion video might give good clues as to how to best 'up-convert' the front end of an elaborate tuner like that one.

As for conversion the video signal, this is is not really needed, as the sync- range of these sets is wide enough to lock on a NTSC timed sync. Running a TV at 50Hz in a 60Hz mains powered country will give interference is some of the 60Hz gets into the circuits.

Interestingly enough, this grey Elektronika TV has the same power connector (see 15:49 ) as the one I wanted to send over uses.

Although people also brought decent equipment from American ebay and now it’s enough to go over local ads to buy something rare inside the country and cheaper than dragging it from the USA (and here recent events have added difficulties). But again, it’s expensive to drag across the ocean, so the Zenith TV can only appear in our area only apparently if it was pocket :) Although, to be honest, we dream more of the Filko Predicta series for design.

Almost everything designed after 1985 or so had this plasticky but clean look and feel. IMO, this was actually an improvement over the earlier mid-1980s Soviet styling (tacky signage, faux chrome moldings etc.).

Very good unboxing video - especially on that Soviet элекmронuка portable novelty television set (supposedly B&W) which should make for a very interesting future video. However though, keep in mind that the complexity of SECAM (in one aspect as compared to NTSC and/or PAL) was considered rather inefficient for a French devised colour system. By the way, are you sure that's actual cellophane and not plastic/Saran wrap instead?

Hahaha. The joke about the Soviet pin and a Democrat fundraiser was award-winning! The plastic is to protect from humidity, my company used to assume. We received electronics wrapped up. We were a reseller.

The designs of the 80’s radios look very much like ours. On the silver one that Shango said looked like something General Electric would have made I had to laugh because it was true. At first glance the little logo on the back of that radio looked like the planet express logo from Futurama!

Soviet Russia used 220V @ 50Hz, but many TV's have options for 230V, or many times even 127V and 110V configurations.

Most of them would work on 230V because soviet energy grid had +-10 Voltage changes count as normal shift

I think you need to start on the 80's plastic new wave radio's, they look so dam cheesy but in a good way, oh and make sure you at least wear an appropriate 80's piece of clothing when working on them to match 😉 That little TV set will be interesting to get going as well.

Cellophane keeps them dry if the box gets wet. I know I’ve had boxes from shipping overseas get wet sitting in seaside docks no doubt.

The most surprising thing is that TV uses the same 12 Volt car adapter that we use. I really would have thought they'd have their own Soviet mandated connector.

Do the yellow Sony Sports knock off after the TV. Then the one you called a GE look alike. Curious if they kept the long range capability of the 70s Soviet units in the new wave cabinets. Thanks for the Videos.

I’m guessing the cellophane wrap is to protect the electronics from unforeseen moisture (rain?) from damaging them.
