Hello Professor, how far can it reach and is it suitable for television channel frequencies?

How far can he go?

I dont know, so I have to ask. On that LNB circuit board, there are holes on the circuit paths. What is the function of the holes ?

Does clouds count as a large object to reflect off of? or does 10 Ghz just punch right through ?

The EHT was 2,300 Volts and derrived from a high frequency oscillator. Not 20kv

Hi, thank you for posting the video, do you know how to remove the front cover of the tape door ? I need to do some head alignement but cannot reach the screws which hold the heads. Thank you

The same radio with FM Band going up to 108 MHz was sold by the Montgomery Ward department store chain in the US. They show up on e-bay occasionally. I have 2 of them. Not sure what manufacturer actually made this radio but it appears to have been made in Asia. One of those rare but not particularly valuable radios.

Thanks for the video Darren. I'm in the process of building a much simpler top band AM transmitter just for fun.

I have never seen tuning indicators like this before. Always good to see you.

Nice unit Daz and a nice overhaul. Great to see you around!

I have the ITT RCX 75 Bigger radio since it has a casette recorder build in, 4 bands and a tuning/ battery meter. It runs on 5 D cells and weights a lot. Great radio with a good reception and a very good sound. I do also prefer ITT over Grundig. Yes, these radios were build in the mid 70s. Thanks for the video.

Nice ITT collection Darren. I have a Pinto. Great to see the RX revived.

Well done, babes. Glad you have sorted your birthday present and glad you like it xxxxx

Shame this never came back in stock

Currently servicing my own 501, really bummed out too that I need to desolder a PCB to get to the belts.

I found a 46T at a local market. You hardly see them in the USA and usually they are badly corroded and beat up. I sprayed the band and function switch and pots and it came to life. It’s very sensitive on MW. The 400 Hz filter and BFO work as well. My S meter did not work also - until I went to adjust the zero. It woke up. Salt corrosion? Perhaps try adjusting yours.

Same fault..

Thank you for taking me back to a 14 year old boy walking around the city with my Grandmother.

Fantastic video

Echo on 1215 because of the Irish TX phasing with it. 693 and 1053 are like that here terrible echo and fading. 909 and 1089 are ok though.

It was also poor even in Red Lodge terrible quality standards for a supposed local station for Suffolk. FM was / is reasonable (at 2KW, used to be 640w initially).

Non fai vedere la parte più interessante, quella che da senso al lettore cassette?? La testina! 😐

Hi! At 3:20, when power on, the VU meters are in the red zone. How did you fix this? Is it the capacitors? Was it possible to repair the rewind? Thanks for your repair videos, they are very helpful!

Muy buenos estos proyectos de aquellos años! Algo interesante para los que gusten del AM es armar un receptor con TDA1572 con detector de muy baja distorsión ! Saludos.

They last life time a recap every 20 years or so an a service every 1 or 2 years motor an turntable spindle go for ever there great little players so basic simple an durable well mines going strong its 45 years old next year its been recapped an had a new speaker an cartridge an stylus sounds nice its black with wood affect the red1s are the earlier 1s started in 1976 till 1980 an the black 1s was till 1985 in argos they were £13.95 back in 76 an went up to 22.99 in 85 the the output is 1.5 watt yes tiny little amp that's bomb proof

Got mine, exactly the same colour, Christmas Day 1973.

Adamsın, Dostum. Şimdi bende deneyebilirim

Thank you for the helpful video. I found the same mistake at my KX-W4070 and this video was very helpful.

I Think It Is Mu metal For Screening Darren I Have a Panasonic RX-DT75 Boombox Darren That I Fitted a Bluetooth Module To As a Plug In Extra Worked a Treat No Noise No Hum Lovely Work As Always Darren Regards mike.

Great to see a new video of you, Daz. And a nice repair. I learned some things watching you open up that motor.

I think Manuel at Electronics Old and New on TH-cam has built an isolated 5 volt supply for bluetooth modules. They are on sale at PCBWAY, or you could download the schematic and board design from the site. You would need to find a free switch on that switch bank to switch it on and off or fit another switch somewhere to stop it interfering with the radio though. Another option is to put some external windings with ordinary insulated wire around the mains transformer until you get around 5 volts and feed that into the diode - again a switch would need to be fitted.

i think you had only one half last video

Nice video Daz, good to see you again. I have to admit to staying away from boom boxes but I can't explain why! I dunno, just me being me I guess. Nice bluetooth add, what a pain though for the supply/ ground issue but a simple no failure mode solution.

Had that box, used it many years. Perfect radio for working area reliable very pleasant. Keep rocking homes.

Great to see you back. I always enjoy your videos, don't leave it so long next time. 😉👍

Thanks babes absolutely love it brings back so many memories from my teenage years xxx

Sir this one pre deck

Where about did you get the replacement valves from? I've just brought one of these and would like to try and get it going.

Can’t believe it, we were watching this, and recognised my nan when she was younger haha

Where are you Darren, hope you are well? I miss seeing your videos. Hope you will put up a few more soon. Regards, Michael Beeny

Hello Darren. Please let me how to do we contact, but you . Because I have got Vintage QUAD Acoustical FM for the Fully service . Please!

Buenos días Darren, me acabo de suscribir. He visto todo el vídeo, menudo trabajo. Un familiar me regalo este mismo modelo, no en muy buen estado. Lo conecto a la red, se mueve bien la cinta pero no se escucha el audio. Luego he visto que se puede poner 6 pilas en la parte trasera. ¿Puede ser que al no tener las pilas no se escucha el sonido? Gracias Darren

My dad used to have one like this. When I broke it at the age of 2 (my first cassette player), my aunt gave him hers. I broke that one too. :) One was white, the other was black. Watching this video took me back to my childhood. Thank you. Now I know what it's called and can try and look for it :) I also remember it had a microphone attached to it with a cord.

great video i have one myself and hope the belts out live me

Any idea where I can buy gunn diodes in the Thz range, or as close to Thz as possible?

Hi Darren, Great video. I’ve got my 612 in parts in front of me and I need a new pinch roller. I wondered if you know the size/part number and/or a supplier? The pinch roller seems very shiny and isn’t quite reaching the capstan so I’m hoping it’s that.

Bố cái thằng thợ mò🤣

I think you will be able to get quite a good output eventually. I used the machine as an amp for meeting in a school hall through a couple of columns.. I had to use it in the record position with the rec. and stop buttons down. This was because there was a very heavy bass boost present if just left with function off. Maybe because of EQ needed for the tape heads being present. Also, so current not being fed to the motors. But a very faithful machine.
