Many people fall into this trap, thinking that a new component must work properly 😄

🤗

You may not be a "professional" but you're clearly an expert.

Love your vids and cute cat

Parabéns meu amigo, vc é fera

Just curious why you didn’t try to match the top veneer wood tone closer to the front trim colour of the cabinet?

You did a good job. I think Vert. linearity needed a little more attention, though.

Great work

Use gold pin striping...

Jack your amazing and really did a great job even with trouble very encouraging to me as I often have same issues with my projects. I too have a cat helper looks like cody too.really appreciate you sharing. Bob Anderson on you tube has done a lot of predicta Bandersontv you tube. thanks Mike

I hope I can afford one someday 🥲 so beautiful

Jack - Your restorations make my difficult repair projects look like a walk in the park! Thanks, man - love your vids

The original tuner is not repairable?

It's so cool that it's in such original shape and that picture tube looks amazing

love the cat jajajaja

impresionante!

Holy cow, the amount of effort and knowledge needed to do this kind of electronics restoration amazes me. The result is awesome though! That set looks amazing!

"Put the set beside your chair, put the picture anywhere" a beautiful set, certainly on my bucket list...

Well done Jack ! When I started @1973 I wouldnt touch a Philco with a 10 foot #8 driver ! LFOD !

Noval or octal socket @1949 WOW! 19:07 Aliexpress power meter😂

Wspaniale pan remontuje i przywraca do zycia stare urządzenia.gratuluję😊

Hi! I love your old TVs! I got my first crt like a month ago and it’s a sharp I got it for 13 bucks at a electronic recycling place

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU! How is it that all your old TVs have good picture tubes? When I was a kid in the 1960s, I remember that TVs would park the beam right in the center of the screen when you turned them off. As a result, old TVs would get a dark spot right in the middle after years of use. Most old TVs of the 40s, 50s and 60s were thrown away because there was a big dark area right in the middle of the screen. It cost as much as a new TV just to replace the picture tube. So, people scrapped their old TVs for a new one. My grandma had an old early 1950s Stromberg-Carlson that got so dark in the center of the screen she replaced it with a new TV in 1971. By the way that 1971 color console TV is still in use. Sometime in the late-1960s they developed a technique so the beam would not park in the center of the screen when you turned the set off.

Awesome resto job!

Bonjour c'est incroyable l'évolution un peu de temps malgré tout des téléviseur on est plus surpris d'avoir des écrans de 1m30 voir plus grand alors qu à l'époque ils étaient tous agglutinés devant une petite image en noir et blanc de quelques centimètres de diagonale et c'était déjà magique c'est génial ce que vous faites je sauvegarder de restaurer le passé au niveau des appareils téléviseur et autre je découvre une voiture à chaîne et je crois que je vais regarder un peu tout ce que vous avez fait bravo bravo continuez !!! Hello, it's incredible the evolution of televisions in a little time despite everything, we are more surprised to have screens of 1m30 or even larger whereas at the time they were all clustered together in front of a small black and white image of a few centimeters diagonal and it was already magical it's great what you are doing I save to restore the past in terms of television devices and other I discovered a chain car and I think I'm going to look a little at everything you have well done, well done, keep going !!!

Radiotvphononut did a lot of this set and could mabie help

It is so relaxing and cathartic to just sit back and watch such a beautiful old thing like this being restored to its former glory... I think it is important to maintain not only the tech, but the knowledge of how it works as such knowledge is the very foundation of our technical world today. The old analogue technology was so ingenious, and the genius required to have overcome those challenges was a different kind of intelligence than that used to manage today's digital development. I do wonder though if the vacuum-tubes/valves at work in this kind of ancient device are still available or being made somewhere? I also wonder if it is possible, were it necessary to do so, could you replace one of those old vacuum-tubes with a transistor or something which could replicate its function?

Lets see a modern TV last this long.

Wow😮

Nice one Jack! As always. Accidentally ran across your channel here, take care! Gary.

I remember going to Thrifty Drug and getting tubes tested and getting new tubes. Oh yeah and got Ice Cream too 😁

WOW! Great job. Great TV 😊👍

Ух ты, вот это аппарат!!!!😮😮😮

Radio tubes, wall mounting, I remember such TVs!!

Sooo cooool !!!! Well done!

Labor of love

Makes me thankful for the wonderful picture we get now. I don't miss the old TV sets I watched as a kid. I worked in a TV repair shop during high school in 1971.

Even the cat is impressed with the finale look. I guess the movie title got his attention to....

Watching him with the circuitry was like watching Chief O'brien going back in time to the original Enterprise... "It's all cross-circuited and patched together, I can't make head nor tails of it!" About the same time difference, too.

BARF -- Point to point.

Fantastic job, fascinating to watch. My dad played football for Navy from '49-'51, someobdy might have watched him play, at least the Army-Navy game, on this set.

my cat lost his shit when you did the high speed sanding

A circular screen kinda makes sense.

Very good, amazing 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍, nice!

be neat to see an episode of Mary Kay and Johnny playing on it....

Two of my favorite movies the birds and the hangover!

우리나라 말 나오내

Wow. I’m always so inspired by someone with the technical knowledge to dive into a nest of connections like that and make something of it. This video was interesting and entertaining; I thoroughly enjoyed it - and I subscribed. 😊

After all the Philco Predicta restorations I’ve seen on YT, there must be more in operation now than when they were being sold!!😂

The veneer color is a bit off, too greyscale, need a lighter color more brown scale and not such a pronounced grain.
