Thanks, but being a caregiver really helps. It's a lot of work that has gaps between taskings that can be handled one of two ways. Do nothing, and be bored, or find something fun to do. Restorations are pure fun for me, so it helps keep me going. Video editing and producing videos... well, not so much LOL. But if it helps keep this hobby alive then it's worth the effort!
I have been watching your restorations since almost the start of your posting and very much enjoy watching your patience and skill .As I am in my late 80's I am almost as old as some of the models you restore, the first family radio our family had was a pre-war Cossor universal (AC/DC) set. I look forward to viewing many more videos from you and will certainly purchase a copy of your book when published. Happy new year to you and your family and carry on restoring.
Thank you very much! It's good to hear that more seasoned restorers are getting something out of my videos. I'll be sure to let everyone know when it finally gets published!
Hey William, super awesome year(s) in review. My Dad was in the USAAF during WW2 but that's another story. Your intensive and deep dive into the radios is awesome. I'm kinda new to real electronics as I came from the audio (movies and tv) area. I fell in love with radio because of old radio programs. That led to my first radio, an AK 39. It was so awesome. Now I have many radios including 1919 sets from Chicago Radio Labs (early Zenith) thru RCA (Westinghouse built), and very early microphones. And God bless you for being there for your partner. Hope you find more of the Chelsea line. Can't wait for the book!
Thank you for sharing this lost knowledge and thank you for your service. We would have never know your qualifications had you not shared it with us. Again, thank you.
Have you made a video of how you built the diamond antenna and tuner. I have a crystal radio lab here at N1FOY where I experiment with different designs.
@@N1FOY_FOY I haven't, but I just got some Litz wire and I'm going to build a similar one soon. I'm going to try and replicate the Paramount Loop which looks like a spiderweb coil. I'll be adding a switchable tuning capacitor to it as well.
Great channel, its helped me to restore 1920s radio, Thanks from England
Wish I had a tenth of your energy. Great work.

I just watched a 5 year old video from glasslinger from Texas doing g a Chelsea radio. If you need radio or parts you might want to contact him.
