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? |
What on earth was this person trying to do? If he were removing the VHF dipole antenna leads from the audio output transformer, the TV's wiring must have been incredibly messed up, or the person may have been trying to make a joke which could have ruined the TV in the blink of an eye (if these leads were carrying any level of voltage). The way the TV was wired, it could not possibly have worked as intended. The antenna leads, after all, are supposed to be connected to the VHF (in those days) antenna terminals, not to any source of voltage. One slip could have ruined the VHF antenna input of the tuner forever and for good, if not started a fire or worse.
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.
