    Always enjoy your videos . My father used to build this kind of superhet radio in the 20s and early 30s . He often made them to special order for friends . He taught me such a lot in my youth . The hobby has always been with me . I love the square wiring done in those days . Looks so neat . Thanks for sharing your amazing knowledge with us . I have learned a lot by watching your uploads. Respect and best wishes to you from the UK ...

    I absolutely LOVE your channel. You do the same stupid stuff I do, like holding on to hot wires LOL. But you always figure it out and I love your analysis. One day I hope I'm able to to make my videos look as easy as you make yours look. Thanks!

    '20s counterpart of Heathkit, huh? That's a real deal lovely radio. And after debugging it's a thing of beauty and a joy for ever.
    Nice to see you back, I was missing you! Hope everything is OK on your end :)
    Connections should never rely on solder alone to provide mechanical rigidity. When a wire breaks like around 19:05, I tend to wrap a few turns of thin wire to join both parts, then solder the whole thing together. Likewise, I wrap the end of the wire around another when making a T-junction.
    You've got a lovely power supply there, LED digital meters with a wooden enclosure brings back the '70s/80s aesthetic, and there's so many that it reminds me of Back to the Future :)
    (PS there's a typo in the title)

    There's something really pleasing to my eyes about the wiring of this radio. Almost reminds me of the refinery I used to work in, with all of the pipes. Lol
    Thanks for the video, for some reason... I never see when you post a new video. I'll see if I can fix that

  • @brianatbtacprod1989
    @brianatbtacprod1989 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is one of the coolest looking radios I have ever seen. The oddly meshing caps were cool, and the wires that look like piping just make it cooler. Thanks for the video

    @josephconsoli4128 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The schematic shown at 7:03 in shows a later design with 6 UV199 tubes and 3 201A tubes ( instead of UX120's). There
    is no need for a C battery in this 8 tube radio. Love those gear reduction variable air capacitors! Love the repairs on these
    ancient radio designs doing what very few people can restore properly.

    Wow! as a young kid in the early 1970's I remember seeing a few old trashed and discarded pre 1930's antique radio chassis in my backyard in the woods, one of them looked identical to that heterodyne kit radio with the mounted open bare wiring and those 4 prong Edison shaped tubes, a few tubes were still intact but the tuning caps and pots were all seized and deteriorated. Way back in the day a HAM radio guy lived at my location from the 1930's to 50's.

    @clytle374 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video as always. Love that radio. I have 2 1920s battery sets. A kellogg Wavemaster and another I can't remember. I went as far as to reverse engineer the schematic for the wavemaster as the ones online didn't match. It is supposdly not a regenerative set, but I think it is. Need to finish it and the fix the other one someday. Just too many projects. It is missing a cap or resistor, it's a ;glass fuse' style and I'm not sure what it need.

    • @glasslinger
      @glasslinger  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Most likely a grid leak if it is the cartridge type resistor. It should be a 2 to 5 megohm value. The value is not critical. Anything in that range will work fine. You can find them on ebay.

    Haven’t gotten all the way through it yet, so perhaps you address it in the video…but it’s supposed to be a voltmeter not an ammeter. The panel even has the engraved reminder to keep it at 3v or less. This is of course to protect the 199s from burning up.
