I get such a kick out of your commentary over these videos!

It’s such a shame that Majestic was left out in the weather. It’s a really beautiful looking unit to own, I would love to have this in my house.

Glad to see someone saved that set

Loving these videos

"Vintage General Electric television to re-purpose. Well.... we can't let that happen now, can we??" Love your comments and humor!

Nice to see some old Ferguson stuff. The old factory (now sadly gone) was about 8 miles away from where I live

That's a sweet stereo. I bet it sounds great. Celestion speakers are preferred by a lot of guitar guys (like me) have them in my rig. Really love this video guys. Good work.

I'd live to have those speakers and amp to play guitar through.

I drop everything when a new Shango video comes out. Great video. Hope to see the two of you working on these sets pretty soon.

I'm a vintage TV fan thanks for sharing

Shango066, very interesting video, I enjoy your channel so much, you are so good at getting these TV;s working again, the things I have learned from watching you is my enjoyment, just wanted to say thank you, have a great day!!!

i remember those old ferguson radio grams el84 output stage. very basic radio but good celestion speakers. the garard turn tables good quality, basicly the best ones were dynatron with the garard turntable , great find thou and in good condition

On the road ventures with killer spiders and plug n play artifacts. Very cool. Thanks............. Carl

What a great video! Cheers, guys!

yes you are really into your work and I really like your sense of humor it is a really good change from all the snooty too serious people . great video as always

Seems like the trip was worth it. Nice suprise to see the television and console stereo were in operable condition after sitting outside.

Nice to see a new tv video and a road trip too. I don't usually kill spiders but I got bit one one of those little buggers once, bloody painful!!

Darn spiders! Interesting how after a good many years and the harsh environments that both the TV and radio just fired right up. Like to see a Chinese built flat screen TV or an smart phone do that under similar conditions. Very cool!

I'd love to see more of these two pieces of equipment sometime.

thats a Fergi radiogram i can tell just by looking at it from the late 50s early 60s common as dirt over here in the uk

love the music in this video!

Cork sniffers always get pissed.Then you got the Vintage dudes who want original parts.It never ends.Let's just see if the thing even still works.Goodjob.🔌🔋

Years and years ago when the Goodwill auction site first started not many people were hip to it yet and for $17 I bought a box of nos tubes. From the pics I could see a few tubes that were desirable. When I got them I was more than happy to find 16 black plate 1950's RCA 12ax7's and 27 Amperex Bugle boy 12ax7/ecc83's from holland plus a several RCA 6lq6's. All the tubes were new untouched perfect, I've never been able to get a deal like that again.

Ventura highway in the sunshine :)

man you have the right music!!!

LOL!!You guys are so funny-everytime you see a bug it's like kill it kill it!! I guess that Black Widow spider inside the old stereo was spinning a web where people used to spin a disc???Lol

Black Widow EOL!

Nice, I think that's one of the last CRT televisions to have a screen in the shape of a circle.

Another cool video mr. realistic

Wow, these things are indestructible.

love the road trips

No its not a 6BQ5 its an EL84 originated conceived designed and built in England by Mullard. ))

Man that radio is lovely..

These road trip videos are so cool, specially this one as it look liked I was in the car with you both travelling! **(I wish)** by the way, your fuel is heaps cheaper then what we pay here in Mudgee! I pay AU$1.60 a litre for BP 98 Premium.

i have not seen a nuvista tv in years. I used to have one of those type of tvs it worked pretty good for having sitting in the elements of out side

Nice save. Most always gotta be ready for other stuff that may be "in the wings" with the items being advertised.

Interesting pieces

The sounds of the Cologne 2.8L V6 makes me miss my old Ranger.

Nice haul, I would take the majestic off your hands if i wasn't 3000 miles away. I used to drive that haul you did for over 25 years. Don't miss that part of LA.

Man that water is crazy I hear you on the FEMA prep coming from southern Illinois

That record player turntable is cool I've never seen one with that many choices on the cartridge

Two very interesting finds, and the TV wasn't fish tanked. Hooray for Shango066 even if he doesn't follow the mandatory vintage electronic repair guidelines.

Celestion speakers are great, I've never seen them in hifi equipment. A good few high-end guitar amp brands use them. Very popular in guitar and bass amps.

Matieu Pizil my b&w speakers from the seventies use celestion HF and they made a huge amount of there own speakers

At 6:22 The Sherman Oaks Galleria.. I lived in Tarzana a few years back, Frequented that mall. Took the 101FWY (parking lot) home every day. I actually, really miss it.

Not my vehicles. The newest I have here is a 2001(built 8-22-2000) oldest is 1986. Of course living in California it's much different due to the crazy emissions laws. As always another enjoyable video.

that is a good looking tv

I like watch old model TV set

I repaired a number of those European sets over the years. Telefunken, Grundig, Majestic, Nordmende, Blaupunkt, Delmonico, etc, etc.... They bore different names, but the chasses were almost completely identical. Early on the service info and schematics were sometimes hard to find, but I usually managed to troubleshoot and repair them without too much difficulty. Power transformer failure was common in these. (IMHO the US was the only country that ever made a decent power transformer. The Euro ones were failure prone.) Also the electrostatic tweeters in some models never worked that well if at all. Another difficult to repair failure involved bad contacts in those push-button switches at the bottom of practically every model made. Some of the sets had the smaller speakers with one large woofer (usually oval) at the bottom of the cabinet. The 2 output tubes were single ended for left and right mids and tweets, and there was a 3rd output transformer for the woofer. The L & R outputs were fed out of phase, and the polarity of the windings compensated for this. The effect was push-pull action for the 3rd (low frequency) transformer. The B+ fed through the center tap of the LF transformer primary, and the plates were connected to the primary ends through the primaries of the HF transformers. Some US manufacturers did this crazy arrangement as well. I never liked that practice. On an old TV set I never took the precaution of ramping up the voltage slowly. Just plug it in turn it on and see what comes up. Life sometimes needs excitement. Cheers!

Your neighborhood and surrounding area makes me want to go play Grand theft Auto v good job

That;s a decent Garrard record changer in that console.Maybe late 50s just before stereo came in? I think Majestics may have been Garrard/Grundig consoles rebranded for the US market.Cabinet looks shot.Water damage maybe?Probably ony good for an organ donor unit.Southern California is console stereo heaven.So many more there than the rest of the US.

what's up with the squat toilets do they have regular ones in Beijing or not??

The TV is a simple elegant design. My childhood neighbor had that GE. They got long use out of it.

Along came a spider and sat down beside him and scared little Mr Shango066 away!!!

39:40 I wonder if any of these euro sets were ever made with one full range speaker and electrostatic tweeters for left and right channels. That would have been a way to get most of the stereo effect with only one output transformer.

Hey Shango, I know this is really random but where can i find a G.E. Widescreen 1000? I have looked all over the net and even Ebay doesnt have any listings for one.

Five Finger Death Cricket for the GE Roundie TV unveiling!

"Oh its metal!"......"which is a bonus", " yeah, rust not termites". My sides! , that was just a perfect shutdown with the beautifully applied sprinkling of sarcasm before the guy used the opportunity to haggle the price back up.

Hey, that CRT could do with some degaussing on the down right corner especially, right? I love the speakers on this, just love the sound of those good, old Celestion and Goodmans speakers :)... And the output tube could be a ELL80, a double output pentode, those were common in stereo radios here. :D

Lando on the the dashboard keep them coming your videoes are great!

did the garrard changer have a mag or ceramic cartridge,shgo,

Were there any UHF stations when this TV was made?

Hey Shango 066,do you repair old ham tubes abandoned amateur radios ?

hope you guys restored that stereo...

Is it safe to take compressed air to a tv that dusty?

You need to do more vids like this

Do you also export to Europe? I am kinda interested in an NTSC Tube, not right now but in some years.

man i love five finger death punch

are you using a Flip share camera??

What did you end up doing with the stereo?

I think you just found the nickname to the stereo. Hey, let's go work on the Black Widow for awhile!

37:30 Sounds as if some oldies station was trying to re-create the '70s AM-radio experience by playing Don Mclean at 48 RPM the way they did it back in the day. That thing has a beautiful sound, rubbing noises aside, I'm guessing it's really a re-branded Bush, Pye, Sobel or some such thing. The "cheshire cat" radio control layout seems more continental, but I guess everyone imitated it at one time or an other; I've even seen US-made RCA export models (no Nipper emblems) with it. I have a US made Majestic from the 1940s, but it seems that after the war, they were just an importer or maybe the name was used under license. PS: Never heard of Ferguson, but if that "radiogram" is any indication, they must have been pretty good.

I've watched this more than Star Trek IV

good haul for 35$ and gas

lol that tv makes that REALLY REALLY REALLY high pitch CRT ring like old ones did. your camera actually picks up that crt ring, sounds like a supersonic dog whistle lol

Do you know the year it was made, metal is a wonderful electrical conductor

14:50 - the spider.. over here (Aus) those little buggers come with a red stripe, and they're called Redbacks. And yes, they're the least of your worries here.

Gas is around $2.80 here in Florida And Diesel and premium is around $3

That's a great deal

It's funny how all this CRT stuff is coming up at almost give away prices. i picked up some old 70's zenith sets from Goodwill for 75 cents a set the other day I lucked up the week before on a tube 1968 Ge 18in B&W for $1 I even saw a Goodwill store selling a few Sonys and Funai made sets for 10 cents.

just plug it in and ask questions later. After it's been sitting outside

Why would you burn the motor out if the thermostat was stuck open? I used to own a Shelby Charger that had that problem and the engine basically never got hot, at least not during the winter. I was driving one night for hours and I pulled over to get gas and I don't remember what made me think of it, but I checked the radiator and it was cool. So I popped the radiator cap off and the anti-freeze was ice cold.

acids and water build up in the oil, parts dont expand to their designed tolerances, cold metal wares faster, gas doesnt burn as well...on and on

I think $4.27 for a gallon of gas started the Great Whatever. I have 2 1949 electrostatic tvs. They are soo cool and easy to understand

how does the screen looks like if you use wide screen i know you had a long time ago that tvs

Shango says 'Electrolytics are cool'

you talk about tubes, i have a vintage crystal only police scanner that still has the rocks inside of it yet lol. i SOMEDAY want to mnake it tuned for ham frequencies both in 2 meters and 440 though as it did have superior sound when it was being used for policeband reception. it's useless right now though because even winobego county went either digital or moved to 800 mhz.

nuts...I would had liked to had used a 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300TD- very cheap to run and extremely reliable.

Polymer filling between crt and front safety glass has degraded and become white.

i used to have one of them majestic stereo phone

Most guys are out late at night chasing woman. Shango is out late at night testing old CRTs.

I’m from uk and that radiogram doesn’t look familiar to me but it looks kind of regentone or something like that.celestion speakers are decent speakers made in England.the deck is a garrard rc121 or something like that.

That California freeway stuff is no fun. We used to drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles back and forth twice a year on highway 101. It was usually 9 hours each way with a meal stop.

Rodalco is kool ,he says your one of his American friends

Like man

interesting gas is $2.29 here. i got gas last week for $2.05 with 20 cents off at kroger when it was $2.25

all this durable old stuff,much of it still works, the markets of 'firstline' av surround,5.0 electronics, and the pursuaders in advertising who convince consumers to spend 3k$ for 'state of the art' playtoys that go 403 after a year,,older devices will take a drop on the corner from 4 feet & still work,title it 'back in the day'

As long as its not made by REALISTIC all will be well ;)
