Can a Radio Rewind Time? Picnic Radio Restoration

The radio belongs to my grandmother. I found it among her belongings in the basement, and when I asked her who it belonged to, she replied saying it was a gift from my grandfather, her husband, and that they used to take it with them when they went on picnics. My grandfather is no longer with us, and my grandmother was very upset about the condition the radio was in. Without saying anything, I took it with me to restore it and surprise her...
About the radio:
the radio is from SNT, sport model, and from some research it appears to be dated 1957. The outside is leather and the inside is cardboard.

Sou Técnico Eletrônico já aposentado, mas este vídeo levou-me a uma viagem pelo túnel do tempo, e com saudades, lembrei-me do final da década de 1950 e posteriores, quando iniciei minha jornada no mundo da eletrônica com uma pequena oficina de reparos. Consertei muitos rádios transistorizados deste tipo que na época desbancaram os rádios valvulares pois poderiam ser levados pra onde quer que as pessoas fossem. Como no caso desta vó e vô que levavam o rádio até nos piquenique. Etá tempo bom que não volta mais. Saudades. Parabéns pela postagem. Me trouxe grande alegria do tempo passado.

Não tenho palavras pra descrever como fantástico assistir a uma restauração impecável! Conseguiu resgatar a era de ouro, da felicidade nas coisas simples mas muito valiosas na grande era do rádio! Parabéns, mil vezes! Abraços do Brasil!

radio nie działa , podobnie jak silnik do mopeda... Przerost formy nad treścią a raczej estetyki nad funkcjonalnością . Zawiodłem się..

The radio works, I preferred to put a background music to create the atmosphere of the final scene, otherwise what would I have made you listen, a normal radio frequency?
For the engine of the bike, as I said in the various comments, there will be another video where I restore the bike, the tank and the crown and where I will mount and test the engine. I didn’t do it in the first video because it already came out very long

@@Ego.Reficio As a designer and constructor of electronic devices, I always look forward to launching a project. This is the most interesting moment. This is often when I realize what my work is worth. This reveals my lack of knowledge and skills. I also worked at a repair service. It's almost the same as renovating old equipment. Then the final launch of the device gave the greatest satisfaction. I don't understand why you don't show the results of your work. Besides, I am sensitive to fakes on the Internet, there are many pseudo-specialists. Especially in my field, electronics. I believe that your videos are real and that you fix these things to make them work and continue to serve you, not to gain subscribers. I also admire you for your determination in renovating this radio, a lot of work. I wouldn't find the motivation to touch the radio in such a condition.

What do you mean, "I don’t understand why you don’t show your work"? Thank you for the compliments. I'm not a true electronics specialist; it's just a passion of mine, along with mechanics. The radio was in terrible condition, but what drove me to restore it was the vision I had in mind, imagining how it could be once restored
