A great vintage TV/radio repair YouTube channel

Post by derkom »

Yesterday when looking for something else (I've now forgotten what!), I ran into this great YouTube channel featuring a guy who repairs/resurrects old TVs and radios: https://www.youtube.com/user/shango066

Be warned! It's easy to get sucked into these videos for hours! He's a really "seat of his pants" engineer, and has a generally great sense of how these old electronic devices work, and watching his process poking through bodging things back to life is great fun.

I'll give it a try later as I do have an old CRT portable TV that would benefit from some TLC :)

Another channel I like is Mr Carlsons Lab. Now his videos can get a bit long, but I do find them very interesting when I'm in the mood as he looks at a lot of old radio stuff that is hand wired and tube based, it's quite enlightening.
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...
