It doesn't speak well of TV channels when it's more interesting to watch you watch TV, than watching it directly.

Ha! Great video, loved every minute of it. That's a Motorola 19P35, the set I grew up with all through the 60's into the early 80's when it finally got hit by lightning (dad bought it brand new it 1963). Can't believe you even plugged it in, but then the damn thing starts working - too much! That's the only tv set we had, but in the 60's all you needed were channels 2 - 13 because there was so much great stuff on to watch. Keeping that set running is what got me started in electronic repair, and even though it's been dead and gone for over 35 years I still have the Motorola factory service manual for it. What a trip to see the inner workings of one again!

One historic aspect about this TV is that 1964 was the last year that it was legal to sell VHF only TVs in the US. (I wonder what the manufacturers and dealers had to do with their remaining inventories of sets like this one at the end of the year.) Indeed, it is fascinating that all of these vacuum tubes, save for the shattered high voltage rectifier, survived these harsh conditions for so many years. I doubt that germanium transistors (or possibly even early silicon transistors and ICs) could have survived this kind of abuse.

The first TV I ever repaired was a 65 Motorola. I think it required one tube, tuner & pots cleaned. Adjustments. Friends passed it around until the 80s. Picture got a bit soft near the end.... love Motorolas.

Fantastic clear picture for this 52 year old TV. That TV would have never expected to see digital transmitted TV images to be displayed on its tube. The replacement HV tube works very well. The glowing of the bulbs is awesome !

Those earrings on the girl on Morey would make great fishing lures.

I'm honesty shocked that it worked with such minimal effort required. I think I'd just clean it up, put a new speaker in it and use it.

This is Awsome man, Seeing these things which were abandoned for so long. a good chunk of our lives actually.. and here we are.. Running power through them once again..

Simply amazing... I had "pre owned" B&W Motorola floor model back in the early 70's. That thing just kept on working, I left it with my ex house mates not sure what ever happened to it.

0:18 the dirt falling out of the bottom of the set completes it pretty well.

Brilliant video, amazing that the audio still worked, with the original speaker. The HV was present minus the broken output tube. You are the true master in TV repairs, and your video's are the best and most interesting in TV resurrection on KZfaq. Keep up the excellent work mate.

How lazy could the owner have been? They didn't even weed their TV set.

Despite the dead spiders that lived in the high voltage, weeds growing everywhere (proves weeds DO grow anywhere), it still came to life, unbelievable!

It's hard to imagine that other than a broken tube no parts were required to make it work again. Very decent picture.

Quality tested to the extreme, buy me, switch me on 30 years later, I work, fill me full of sand and weeds, I work. Much Respect.

Amazing picture on a set that's been baking in the desert sun for many years! I've noticed that Motorola does use quite a few oddball European tubes in their sets.

Nice Video! I'm always amazed what these vintage TVs can go through and still work, yet a modern flat panel you can just look at it wrong and the screen cracks and in the trash it goes Lol.

Sounds like a good name for a rock group, "deep desert resurrection"

Shango You ROCK man. I love all you're videos.

38:06 This is the most I've watched the Rio Olympics.

"Continuing on with the Motorola...... Ugh, spider set."

The Spider was only doing his job.

I laughed out loud at the "weeds out of the chassis" comment. I watch tons of these videos; very entertaining. Well done

I am just absolutely stunned you got this thing going so easily! Just damn!!!

The picture is so sharp you can see the chroma dots. Those TVs take a lickin' and keep on tickin'!

"The Golden Voice has had too much to drink" Hahahaha!! love it!!!

3 people need to get the hell off shango's channel

I just about fell off my seat when you plugged it in and it started working. You rock! So does the spider TV...best video ever!

I found it hilarious that the TV basically worked after 60 years, and even better, the American news is comical. I would expect that kind of news reporting in a Fallout game. Best ever youtube video.

Man I can't believe you're dealing with a tv set my family had over 50 years ago. Obviously the color of the box faded away dramatically, but it's the same model; no doubt about it. The image looks great for it time. Still remember how many hours I spent watching Lost in Space in one of these.

I love it! You cracked me up trying to adjust the volume with the vertical control.

Just super!! How can that work so well like that! You are the best. thanks

Shang you sure love a challenge! You inspire me with my own projects :)

These are the videos I love to watch the most... That and people's stupid repairs and how you fix them.

I would have been afraid to even plug that up. And it freakin' works.... LOL Cheers! 🍻 Speaks a lot to the quality of things now.

These videos are fantastic, very much appreciated.

That's interesting regarding the 3A3 high-voltage rectifier tube. When I was a kid, I remember we had a 1964 Sylvania roundie color TV in the family living room that used one of those.

Wow This was really cool. Like the style of that old set. Good picture to

im just amazed at how you can get these things going, nice job

You have great channels and make very interesting video's thanks for sharing.

its as old as me 😀 amazing how electronics has evolved in 58 years

Damn, mother nature shows us once again who's boss, lol. I've seen plenty of weird bugs inside old TVs but never any sort of plants xD.

I am shocked that you pulled a junked TV that's been lying in the desert for years and have it fire up with a great picture. Only a few parts to make it play. fantastic😄

I'm nominating this video as the best Shango066 video. Weeds, spiders, and all, yet audio and high voltage!

Reminds me of the tv sets in my youth that weren't worth a crap.

wow I have to say you can fix it all and after all this time you got this set going . you fix cars and anything electronic you can probably do plumbing as well. . all the best and keep the great videos coming

amazing that you were actually able to get this to even TURN ON!

That's Amazing! Thank You for sharing yourgreat video. That is one tough TV set.

So awesome to see these old sets resurrected again great job, hope you save that CRT the rest is junk

i really enjoyed watch this. the picture quality is good.

love these desert find videos! :)

great picture from this old desert tv

Cheers Shango, the news footage was comical too

11:38 Yep. Picked up a Sanyo 90's low end set at a flea market for free. It's moderately high hour and the tube is weak enough where "smearing" happens and text is hard to read. Which, is why I'm daily driving it. I want to see how bad one of these can get!

Thank you for the video i'm learning a lot... The old vintage TV's now that's quality -- I too like direct tv the best I'm back with direct tv northing beats the clear picture me I picked me up a MCS Turn Table model 6205 year 1980 I plan to relube the motor moving parts with White lithium Grease & zoom spout oil new belt stylus needle..,

you got it working those motorola's just keep motoring.

You iz da man.You iz da reanimator !!! At first the tube looked a bit weedy(pun intended)but then gave a surprisingly good picture !!

Probablely carton of speaker is broken. You can change it for a new piece, replace the carton paper, or to arrange with white glue for forniture, due it is elastic. I had a Motorola with wooden cabinet, same inches when I was just boen in 1967, here in my country, Chile, SouthAmerica. In 1978 arrived cokor, transmission (NTSC) and my father bought a Sharp 19". We have a GE 19" color for a week before, but at night image showed a bar black up snd down, cause of voltage get low (220V 50Hz) . Huggs.

As always excellent work.

The weeds are the only thing holding this TV together. So you might want to leave them in there.

Is it a sign of sickness that I have watched all of Shango's video's.....every single one, and this is my 3rd time around lol.....its great that I keep forgetting them and can go around again lol.....

Can't believe you got it working.

Can't help but enjoy your videos but this one was great. 73 Leo

The buzzy audio is often caused by strong signals causing the video to clip. The audio is picked out of the video, so when the video clips, the audio does too. Sometimes a slight backing off on the AGC fixes the problem, if the TV has an AGC control.

That vaping ad just reminded me of when my 13 year old son bought one home from school! A friend of his gave it to him with these bottles of different flavours, tasted nasty & I made my son give it back to his friend as I certainly don’t want him taking up smoking! It’s a disgusting filthy habit. :(

love your videos keep them coming

Very good picture!

Really enjoy watching your videos, and it amazes me how you get a tv working that is showing the Clinton, Trump campaign 2016 on a set that was made just after Kennedy, and looked totally trashed.

bet u are a very interesting person

Crazy stuff man

The reason for the light/dark lines, loops, and/or on/off appearance of the CRT is because your camera shoots at 60fps, and NTSC video is displayed at 59.94fps. This difference is where the "Black" parts appear in various shapes and sizes when recording the CRT. When it's dark enough that the shutter speed is under 60fps (when it's dark), you get the whole image.

Looks like although Motorola did their own thing that it was a good thing. The old, neglected, sun-baked set seemed to _want_ to go back to work. Who'da thought that Raid and Round-Up would be tools in a repairman's TV tool box?

Amazing what little work it can take to get those desert sets going again. I keep hoping you'll delve into the metal cased RCA set from the "Testing CRTs and Old Television Graveyard" vid. That was the one that got me hooked on your channel. Those earrings are amazing. They make me want to go fishing. "And they lived happily ever after... until she accused him of cheating 3 weeks later. TUNE INTO THE NEXT MAURY TO FIND OUT IF HE'S A LYING BASTARD!!!!!" :|

Wow, amazing that TV worked at all considering where it was living for who knows how long

great video keep up the awesome work!

42:10-42:20 “Hell yes”😂 That cracked me up!😂😂😂 I love your sense of humor! I’m exactly like you!

Yeah, that volume knob is nut's...cheers.

"Twerkosquirculate" 😂 That's EXACTLY what that horizontal oscillator was doing. All kidding aside, the logic you use, combined with the humor, make your videos must see TV.

32:44 The fine tuning is so good I can see the chroma pattern.

Speaking as someone from The Old Country who was used to Nokia and Sony Ericsson back in the day, I can totally agree that Motorola were weird! I now have a Huawei manufactured Honor 7X which runs the All American operating system known as Google Android. I'm sure you could argue that it's actually the Chinese customised Emotion UI but... 1. I bought the phone in the UK, China pre-installed those All American Google apps. 2. I signed into my Google account, letting the NSA know that I've bought a new phone. 3. I live in the UK and use a British ISP and a British mobile network, GCHQ already know who I am. 4. I signed up for a Huawei ID, letting the Chinese PLA know that I'd bought one of their phones. In short, Chinese Intelligence are getting to know everything that British and American Intelligence have been learning about me this whole time!

Whats your opinion on Asbestos and wax insulated wires?

That classic interferences sound is produced depending of how white is the image (ilumined screen) and in a normal picture (people talking or movie scene) noise reduces it self, I think. Wonderful to see this restoration. Celebrate this testoration going to a restaurant (restoration - restaurant, it's a joke XD).

Excellent video.

I think you found spiderman...dried out. Another cool vid

What's unusual is, this is the first B&W set I've seen that uses a 3A3 HV rectifier.

I can deal with the dirt and the weeds, but spiders... I would have to soak that thing in a gallon of Black Flag before I ever took it in the house.

I'm so jealous! You can watch the Rio Olympics. 😢😭 I still can't because I have no one to fix up my house antenna so I can watch it. Also wow I can't believe this tv works after what it's been through, I told you that you were a genius at this stuff. 👍🏻❤️😘

27GB5 is a PL500 over here in the UK, very common, even more so its later version the PL504

فيديو رائع سيد دان

Just amazing

I can not BELIEVE it worked at all in that condition!

Wow now I see what us brits are missing out on as far as top quality tv goes.....Ricky lake on steroids.and the old tv is good.well done for it putting up with that rubbish on its screen Great video Shango,got to love it!

"Even if he falls a few feet.. he could EOL out" lmfao

OMG your tv is nuts

Nicely done, but I'm curious how they could engineer something that gets so hot and be OK with it? Is it just me or has daytime television reached an apex of stupid? It's too painful for me to watch.

Cheatgrass growing inside, random spiders marching about from from induced emf. LOL, Shango. I don't smoke either.........much.

WHAT I TELL YA!? WHAT I TELL YA!? WHAT. I. TELL. YA!? 😂😂😂😂 Aye, it's shows like this that make me really quite happy about my life 😊

How do you still pickup channels without a converter box?

Yeah! I really like that videos. Keep going!

I would really like to have a black and white tube tv that has multiple tubes with plate caps like that one not sure if that tube is a damper or a horizontal out put or vertical Out put the B&W tvs I have don't use plate caps for those tubes only the high voltage rectifier tube has a top plate cap
