Hello Mr. Carlson, I obtained my Associates Degree in Electronics about 40 years ago. I have been in the electronic/Electrical workplace for about 50 years.
I went into electronics in order to do the exact type of work you are doing. Board level repair. It seems I have been in Industrial Instrumentation , Telecommunications and general electrical.
Drat. I have retired now and found your channel. You are giving me great experience in troubleshooting and repair of an array of electronics. I probably won't do it professionally, but
I will do it for pleasure. I have two old receivers in upright wooden cabinets. I am ordering parts to replace the ones already there. Thank you very much. I don't have your test equipment.
I hope I have enough to at least do a fairly good alignment. Thanks again. Keep the video coming!!
Thanks Paul, especially for the SSB tips on overdriving the sensitivity.
I have watch a number of Mr. Carlson's videos in the past few years. All of them are great, but so far, this one is the best of all. Having walked by many of these HQ-140's at Ham swaps over the years, I may just bring the next nice one home. :-)
Hello Paul - I just wanted to thank you for this excellent video. About 16 years ago I had an HQ-140X and it was one of the most enjoyable receivers I have ever used. It was just a lot of fun to operate and I remember how sensitive and stable it was. I was able to tune in a German ham operator on 10 meter SSB and even at that frequency it wasn't necessary to "touch up" the tuning to keep him intelligible. Very impressive.
Hammarlund did a beautiful job in the design and manufacture of this receiver and I would like to find another one but they seem to be getting fairly rare, especially in the condition yours is in. Anyway, thanks for the excellent tips on restoration and alignment and the trip down memory lane with the "band cruising". Your videos are excellent and very informative. 73, Bruce K6RQR
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Bruce. Thank You for your kind comment!
in spite of its length, this is by far the most enlightening video I've seen on the subject as he exposes rarely talked about intrincacies. worth watching every minute
Just yet another find example, of the Mr Carlson letting up ride along in his time machine. Loved the part of him showing us what this beast will do. Thank you so much for all you do ,I'm glad to support his channel and be a Patreon.
Sir just want to convey my extreme oppression for the time and effort you put in all your video's. love of the craft really comes through
and it's that same love of watching my father work on the electronics of my youth this is where my love of all things electronic. Thank you the craft you teach in invaluable too us all and is very much appreciated. God bless you and yours. Thank you for giving so much of your time.
Thanks Joseph, Glad to share!
I am in awe of the level of your knowledge, humbleness and genuine willingness to share, explain and teach this highly technical and unique skill set. Thank you. I find your videos highly entertaining and fascinating. I have no experience in ham radio or electronics but you make me want to learn more about how radios work and were made decades ago. It’s amazing what people have invented and created. It makes you realize the amazing gift we have been given. God bless you.

The "Tuner Capacitor" is a work of art Paul. I think you have a unused receiver there. Any drift can be put down to age. My word you don't muck about with your vidio's. 10 out of 10 for expertise and just about everything else.Stuart.
Thanks for kind comment Stuart!
I agree. I think I would have checked the spades on the power plug to see if it had ever even been plugged in!
What can I say Paul the amount of work you put in to all your projects you are truly a perfectionist at what you do. The best three hours watching a genius at work. thank you so much Paul for sharing all this with us. You just amaze me all the time you treat all you projects with the respect they deserve you have some lovely radios they don't make them like that any more. I honestly I don't think there is nothing you can't fix. and when it comes to restoration you are number one the work to details is perfection.
While sleeping, I was following a course about this in french with visual representations, once the video started my teacher restarted the whole course and started speaking english as in a new english student walked in the classroom then woke up to this video at 6 minutes. I'm mindblown.
Paul, that was simply amazing. The knowledge you have and the way you present your repairs are incredible. I started watching this video right after you posted it. Was working in the shop while doing so and just found it astonishing. Very well done on this relic.
Thanks Buddy!
The radio of radios! This reminds me of my grandfather who loved radios. On new years day he usually had the main TV, a portable B&W TV and three desktop radios all tuned to different games. It was insane but the man could multitask and the whole town came to him to find out the scores. He also had a Zenith AM/FM tube radio at his bedside and usually listened to AM shows all night long. His last favorite radio was a Cobra 29 CB transceiver.
Geez, great video. Your skills are just mind blowing. I haven't seen one of the Hammarlund radios in 38 years and they were rare antiques back then. We used to sell them "as is" in a CB shop back in the 80's. I thought they were old military radios back the 80's because they were built like tanks.
I've been using and repairing old radios like this for years and I absolutely agree with you. There's several things I do as a matter of course in troubleshooting, diagnostic, or repair that I'm not sure is documented anywhere. Just some tips I got along the way from my Elmer or others kind enough to share. Thank you for taking the time to do this, I enjoyed every minute of it, especially the Crystal Filter and IF Alignment. I'm getting ready to revive an old BC348 and was dreading working on the Crystal Filter section. You provided a great refresher!
I love these old radios they have so much personality
Having built almost every Heathkit receiver made, it was fun to watch the alignment on this Hammarlund. The principle and tools used brought back a lot of memories. Good job Paul.
Thanks!
You know, I've had, HAD, near every piece of great vintage gear from flea markets and repaired them. Rented semi trailer space for all of it, till I got to old age, then it was only right to pass them on to good homes. Even though rigs got highly complex, I worked rcv/xmit combos and worked 100 countries with boat anchors. Your intellect and magic you do to the past is commendable .
This video was a pleasant surprise find. I have an HQ-140 which has been sitting idle for decades. You've inspired me to have a look at it and start restoration.
Glad to be that inspiration!
These are great radios. I was in the Hammarlund factory many times. My best friend in High School was Lloyd Hammarlund Jr.
Got my start in rf with this radio. Got one from a neighbor when I was 10 years old. 56 years later feeling really sorry I don't still have it.
Thanks for sharing your story Stan!
Thank goodness for mr Carlson !!
I've got a 100, a 170 and a 180.
This sure will help.. Thank you, sir
All real nice receivers! Glad your enjoying. Thanks!
I just started becoming interested in electronics when I felt compelled to attempt fixing an old radio that I have. Most of the content on your channel is WAY too advanced for me, but your knack for explaining things, and your passion for what you do make your videos absolutely addicting. I've even learned a thing or three along the way. Thanks. - Shawn
Glad your enjoying Shawn!
The final product demo in the end was an awesome reward for the hard work of following the front of the video. All most appreciated. I think I have a "virgin" Hammarlund HQ-215 that was retired not later than 1965. It looks like it was used by a novice with a Heathkit DX-60/HG-10 combo which I also have and that also appears to be in the same old fine in the 60's state. The HQ-140 is amazing, but it sure would be nice if I could pay my Mathematics teacher pay to have this Hammarlund HQ-215 safely work nice by someone with the first/last initials "PC". This is the wrong forum for such an appeal, and I hope it was not too obtrusive. I'm good in QRZ. Joel ~ KN4EWI
Paul: There is so much good information here that I am replaying and taking notes. Double thumbs up and thank you for your efforts!!!
No problem Shaun. Glad your enjoying!
Fantastic job Mr Carlson! I was waiting years for electronics teacher like You!! It couldnt be better, greetings!!
Very informative and very well done! I've aligned many old radios, but I still learned a number of things from this video! One suggestion: your spectrum scope H-P 3585B is a beautiful instrument, but I'll bet that almost no-one viewing the video has anything that good. It would be very interesting (and much more useful by much of your audience) to see how you do the alignment with a more humble (and much more common) set of instruments. For example, an old Tek scope (like my 453), the sweep from a general-purpose function generator, and a frequency counter. Thanks again for this video! Fred VE1FA
Hi Mr. Carlson, I have to agree that's one Great looking receiver. It is amazing to me that you have the ability to make me WANT to watch a 3hr long video, on a piece of gear I will probably never own! Your thoroughness in explaining and examining each feature of the unit, why said feature's are there, how to test all components, and how to replace faulty parts is unparalleled. Your enthusiasm for this vintage gear is infectious.... It makes me want to run out and hunt down one of those old "boat anchors". I could go on praising you for all the effort you put into making these videos, but I think you get the point............ Great Job, Thumbs Up, Please keep posting these great old pieces of tube equipment!!!! Thanks, Tom By the way Paul, I would purchase those old caps from you if your just going to through them away.... Let me know.. Thanks again for posting :)
I really liked the audio noise troubleshooting part. Another great video.
..That has to be the cleanest piece of equipment I've ever seen on your workbench...!
Mister : only one word : THANKS !!! perfect , for me your job and knowlege is a pure joy and i'm learning many , many things !!! please continue your video and i hope many beautiful thing for you and your lab's !!! Eric from France ....
I can't believe those knobs. I've been a licensed ham since 1967, and have been to countless hamfests, and I've never seen one like that!
Wonderful vid! Really enjoyed it. I'm a retired two-way tech, so my experience with AM stuff harks back to my earliest days.
But in those early days, I was taught _in no uncertain terms_ that the "l" in the word "solder" is never pronounced. It was "sodder".
I guess times have changed, though. Still, this little bit of shop talk reminds me of when I was considered competent at something.
Bill Martin , I made the same observation and was told that IN CANADA, they pronounce words differently! DAMN! He was right. LOL de KQ2E
So been keeping an eye out for one of these. One showed up for way too much money 3 months ago, finally came to an acceptable price last week. It's a 140-XA, Only 4 electrolytic caps and no paper caps. Waiting on caps to arrive then to start this, thanks for the video! Found reproduction dials, mine are all warped up.
Hi Cory, I've had my dad's HQ-140-XA sitting on a shelf for a couple years, and I'm about to order replacement caps to put in before I try plugging the beast in. I've found a couple surprises on inspecting the circuit that's supposed to have the one paper cap (at least, the parts list says C38 should be paper). I wonder if you would be willing to be in touch somehow to compare notes? I could send you a couple photos and let you know what I'm looking at. If you're interested, we'll figure out how to be in touch. Thanks.
Your hard work on this video is acknowledged and appreciated. Thank you, Paul.
Feel the same.. couldn't agree more..😊
I'd really love to see an FM alignment video. Keep up the great vids!
I'm really getting a lot of enjoyment from your videos. A search for a better understanding of vacuum tube operation led me to your channel. I really enjoy the format of your videos. Although a lot of content is above my head, your attention to detail is very obvious. Thank you so much for inviting us into your lab!
Wow... You know I love sagas! I would have pulled out the popcorn but I watched it first thing in the morning. Too early for popcorn.
Great information here and what a beautiful performer this radio is. All those alignment tips will come in real handy! I also loved the way that you isolated that noisy passive component with that non-conducting probe. Now I know the real reason for the noise generator function. Works a treat.
The video, I think, could use one more thing. "Intermission!"
Great job Paul as always,
Tom
Thanks Tom!
That's an amazing find - always enjoy watching your excellent videos. Those ceramic stand-offs on the filter cap are a great idea!
Thanks, I have owned it for some time now, but wanted to save it for a video. Many more receivers in the waiting.
I'm not an engineer or analyst or electrician at all (I know a little bit about it, but not much). I find these video's fascinating!
Thanks for sharing your testing/reviewing/repairing/restoring video(s). Absolutely great!
Thanks Paul. I am not sure about those brown knobs they used though. I have seen many original ads for those receivers, but they were in black and white, so I never knew the color of the them. A matter of taste, I suppose. You seemed to like them, and the object is to preserve the radio as closely to original as practical.
I appreciate your efforts in making the highest-quality videos I have ever seen on youtube, without regard to the subject. You seem to know just when to skip over things and when to slow down and show details. P.S.-I love the marathon videos! 3 hours of viewing pleasure.
I'll bet the knobs matched the tuning window bezels' slate color when they were new. My 1958 Heathkit Signal Tracer had fluted knobs of same apparent style as on Paul's HQ-140x. They were colored gray to match the panel when new. They have also aged to "milk chocolate." No significant exposure to sunlight. Just an unstable colorant.
Totally agree: Mr. Carlson's lab videos are the best.
Mr. Carlson, another great video. i didn't see this until almost three years after its release. I Great work., I'm impressed.
Got this video running in the background as I work on restoring an old vintage computer. Love these extra long videos whilst working on some old vintage gear :)
Glad you enjoying Aron!
My First Ham Station was a Hammerlund HQ-110C and a Heath DX40. Love the Hammerlund receivers.
Wow Almost a million views Mr Carlson! I know this is an oldie but I enjoy going back and watching you go through these old am radios. Well anything really your videos are a treat to us nerds lol
I love Shortwave :) Started out with a Am transistor radio as a kid then graduated to shortwave I love it!!!!!! always have
lots of things can be tuned in world radio you can here stations depending on the band 234 / design frequency = each dipole side length in feet,
OR - 468 / design frequency = total length in feet. Most builders cut long and trim the total length for lowest swr on their design frequency. for the Antenna!!! and you can here the world! this rocks and as a ham now I have taken my love of radio not only talking and tuning in but also learning and refurbishing them some day :) but if you use this in a 2 sided dipole you use a 50 ohm line for the best receiving and you can divide the total length on each side you can here radio in France and Japan UK Germany Havana CUBA, Spain all over the place I love radio always have always will. Even Russia and other places no min use English depending on time of day and Space weather Forecast if no sun flairs are interfering with the band you can here a lot of stations coming in...
Great job man great representation it takes a lot of time..
I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos.
It's amazing seing such a young person with such a knowledge of these vintage machines.
me too
me too :-)
👍👍👍
I love your restoration videos and learn something from each. For instance if someone else told me I might need a wobbulator I would chuckle and say "yah right, I already have chrome reverse muffler bearings". But now I find myself looking for an entry level wobbulator...
The HQ-140X was my Novice receiver. I purchased it for $100 in 1960. Very sorry I ever sold it. I loved it!
So much here that I'm going to have to watch several times. I don't mind waiting for content when it's this good.

你好啊，你也喜欢看 Mr Carlson 的视频 ：）
猪枣泥 啊你好。他的视频内容都很轻松有趣，每次都拿来像看电影一样看
你是做这一行的吗？在国外？
兴趣而已
Thanks for your kind comment! Glad your enjoying the video's :^)
I appreciate you explaining alignment and the application of various test gear...Thank You! Super Fine Radio!
Many thanks for the most informative, most detailed, perfectly described and beautifully presented videos, it is truly a blessing to be able to watch these videos ⚡
Thank You for your kind comment!
Thanks for your patient explanations Mr Carlson, much appreciated!
You're very welcome!
I don't comment very often however this a truly great video. I learned a lot and throughly enjoyed it.
Thanks Neil!
I've never understood the noise function of the signal tracer until now. Great video Paul!
Thanks Michael. Many components "in tube circuits" can even be left installed when this test is used as well.
Excellent Paul. I'm aligning my Drake R-4C. I can hear your tips and knowledge in my head as I work! 73, W0KU.
The marathon videos are great when you take us carefully through the process. Stuff like this is rarer than hen's teeth today.
Paul I sure am mesmerized watching these repairs. Thank You
Thanks Wayne! This is my longest video to date.
Great video, thank you! The signal tracer / probe part that showed the crackling components is very interesting, wasn't aware of this function.
ooooo.. Been waiting for this.. going to cook our lunch and then settle down for some quality educational video. I love your videos, keep up the great content.
Thanks!

You have way too much spare time on your hands.
@@Frankowillo If a job's worth doing, do it properly ;)
Mr Carlson you are good at electronics restoration of vintage shortwave radio Receivers and Alignment
Excellent. I have one of these receivers that has been with me since high school (70s). The quality and reliability has been amazing, and it is pretty close to the condition of your receiver. I personally think this is one of Hammarlunds finest. I only wish I had the equipment to do the alignment like you did. Despite that it performs quite well except the crystal phasing does not perform anything close to what you achieved. Thanks for taking the time to do this excellent video.
Glad you enjoyed Jim!
Great video, slowly working my way through the back catalogue of older videis, I don't do tube stuff but find your work very fascinating and easy to understand. Think I'll stick to low voltage silicon, high voltages scare me ☺ thanks for sharing all this stuff
You're welcome!
Wow! This has to be one of, if not, the best videos of this genre/subject/topic. Thanks so very much for taking the time to produce and publish this!
Great video. I really appreciate all of the time you spend to make such a detailed video. When you started tuning the 3.2 mhz band, the first station you picked up was a North Korean propaganda broadcast. I doubt it meant anything to you unless you happen to speak Korean like I do, but it was cool! Thanks again!
I just finished re caping and restoring a Howard 450A. Its a good receiver for those who like old radios.
Glad you made this video as I am working on mine now. I need to make the probe interface boxes. I wish I could just buy ones from you and I can't make a printed ckt board so mine will not look so nice. thanks Mike
i was watching how someone got hurt when i went to sleep and woke up to this 😹
LOL I JUST WOKE UP TO THIS TOO!!! Fell asleep for who knows how long and this is what's on!
Same 😂
Same
Same lmfao
Same wtf
Paul you are an awesome Tech! I am learning so much from your video's.
I like to having TH-cam open while I sleep and I just woke up to this extremely confused I don’t even know what a hammarlund HQ-140-x is but now I know how to restore and repair one.
The best part is, you will be so good, you could do it in your sleep!
I’m impressed. Excellent quality video, organized, linear approach to the topic. Excellent information.
Thanks for another good video. I would prefer black knobs they would look more professional like the R-390s that I worked on years ago in the Navy, the brown just looks like they had a bunch left over from another project and used them to keep cost down.
What a beauty that radio is. Also I learned a hell out of this awesome episode. Thank you so much.
Mir hat es Spaß gemacht, das Video anzuschauen. Dankeschön
Mr Carlson when repair restoration is cool
It looks like the company took great pride in building this to be very clean inside. No doubt some very smart engineer's designed this unit to last a very long time. It's funny because some people find abandoned tube tv's or radio's in old houses or laying out in the dessert, they apply some power and they fire right up!
Looks like you've hit the jackpot with this one. Very cool and nice receiver. The chocolatte brown knobs does set it off nicely. Cool stuff.
Mr Carlson Hammarlund HQ 140x the cabinet looks like new that's so awesome
I am a bit late on watching this, however you knowledge is unbelievable. I always learn something while watching your videos. Thank you for posting them!
Glad you're enjoying!
all I can Say is you are. brilliant engineer and a talented teacher and thank you so very much.
Paul...
This was once again a terrific video.
You mentioned the restoration of the Hallicrafters SX-28 . I have more than several in various stages of restoration. I perhaps misunderstood, but I thought that you had reviewed the SX-28 as one of your projects but, if you did, I’ll be darned if I can find it.
In advance, thanks!
Fred
I'm also waiting for SX-28(A) video.TY!
Another great session. I believe when you use 'interlock', you mean 'interaction .
Hammarlund was one of the few radio manufacturers to make their own air variable capacitors. I have a small ceramic insulated one sitting around which came out of the PA of a very old Johnson CB radio.
Your videos are nothing short of AWESOME. Thank you, Sincerely, Mike Harris
Thanks Mike! Many more to come.....
That Hammy is in WONDERFUL shape. Hope it's yours not a customer's.
Your videos are nothing short of AWESOME. Thank you, Sincerely, Mike Harris (hailing from Las Vegas, NV)
Thanks Mike!
mr carlson I could only dream of having a shack like yours thank you for these tutorials lot's of useful information
Good work finding those noisy components! My alignments are never that easy. I think you got lucky with this find, it was almost pristine, it appears.
I agree, this one was pretty clean. It's nice to come across that every now and then.
3 Hours of the amazing Mr. Carlson... Perfect..
Wow that's an awesome gift to the world! THANK YOU!
I really need to build a tracking generator for my 8668a. Looks the best way to do it, never really got on with a sweep generator and scope.
I am surprised this set is not double conversion. Maybe it's to early ?
Another very detailed interesting video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed Simon!
Paul,
Awesome video. Thoroughly enjoyed the three hours. Always look forward to videos by you, Peter, Mike, Alan, and Buddy. WB3BJU
Thanks Donald! Those are all great people.
great video. helped me do alignment on my recently restored hammerlund sp 600. visual method is way to go. thanks mr. carlson !!!
You're Welcome John!
Amazing presentation.... Not much to restore on this beauty- great score! Thanks for sharing your expertise! 😃👍
Glad you enjoyed!
This video is kind of like a video version of a service manual. Do you think its possible to add a few links into timestamps of the video to jump to certain sections, just like an index in a service manual? I am sure a lot of people will bookmark it in case they will later need it to look something up, its probably very helpful to jump right to the wanted part.
Mr Carlson the nobes on the Hammarlund HQ-140x collar brown is cool
Great job Paul. Wonderful radio and a fantastic job ... your knowledge and teaching skills are top one BTW the sound is really nice, I remember my grandfather's tube radio
Great video Paul!
Still looking forward to a video about that modified laminator of yours! :)
Thanks again!
