FUNNY!
the video if the " salesman & repair tech" all the technobabble, BUT when he said " I can pull off my speaker leads..." and showed him removing the 300 ohm dipole wire from the VHF tuner I just lost it! LMFAO! too funny! did they think people would not notice? Also the overlaid video on the TV screens?

No one should ever, and I emphasize the word ever, tamper with the wiring (including antenna wiring) behind the back cover (or in any other area) of a television receiver unless the person knows beyond the shadow of a doubt what he or she is doing.

Why did RCA hang onto kinescope for so long? Wasn’t it something like Philco or someone else had the trademark for “picture tube”? Also, I think Ampex had the trademark fir videotape early on.
Or it could have just been RCA adopting weird names fir things. Ultor? |

Regarding the set that folded into the table! It looked like it took a bit of effort to fold and unfold the set. The young lady that they showed doing it was rather fit. |

I have one of the folding sets and it is very easy to open up, the CRT housing is spring loaded and takes very little effort to bring up. The lady in the ad makes it look more difficult than I find it to be.

Neat video. I have watched about half of it so far and will finish later today. Thanks!

I watched the YouTube video and have one question. Did RCA really have DC Restoration on a 1960 B&W TV? If so, was it 100% restoration?

Don't know the answer - best way to tell would be to find a schematic.

And what I also noticed with the “technician / salesman” video, when he was bragging about how how easy it was to unplug the tuner, and then showed a plug that may indeed could have been a tuner power plug, (bias + filament) but failed to mention that there is also a shielded line for the IF signal, which is often a “RCA” type connector. :O

These are sales/marketing films and, as such and just like today, bear little resemblance to reality

I thought the RCA Channel Master Programmer model was interesting. Has anyone here saw, owned, or worked on one of these sets? Was this feature offered beyond the 1960 model year?

I found what appears to be the schematic for the TV in the YouTube video. It's in SAMS 461 and the ETF has it in their files.
Yes, the video is direct coupled from the video output tube's plate to the cathode of the CRT so it appears that there is some DC restoration, although not much. The resistor providing the direct coupling is a 1 Meg, R29. |
