Dear Radio Mechanic, this video on the Eico 377 is just what the doctor ordered, I will be restoring an Eico 377 very shortly, and this video is priceless for me. Thank you kindly for posting this, I will watch it many time to learn all I can. Have a nice day!!
Your doing a great job keep up the good work I am a old guy who worked as mechanic and in the gas and oil patch I am still working but my back is about done and I always like electronics and trying to learn so that when I can't work anymore I will have something to do so I don't go crazy I was really looking forward to going to some hamfest but they are all canceled thank you for video
I always learn something new when I watch your videos! Thank you so much for taking the time to pass on your extensive knowledge. And im glad it's not just me that wears the magnifying glasses lol

As always I enjoy learning new troubleshooting techniques. Thanks
Hi Robert. Comes from years of making mistakes.
I really enjoy the troubleshooting and the more straightforward methods of doing so (components in place). Thanks!
Your welcome, thanks for watching.

Well grasshopper, knowledge come from many failures.
I love your videos, including the #1 and now #2! I'm learning so you have reached your goal! Thank you!
Thanks Vern...keep 'em coming!
Hi Dino. Thanks my friend.
Great video Thanks. Carl
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Do you have the part # for that bottom lamp?
Just change *ALL* the CAPs.
Does the location of this capacitor create a problem with the tube so close to the cap from heat??
I had a question, in the pi power supply, what was the purpose of the coil between the two filter capacitors?
Thank you for the help.
That is a choke to remove AC ripple on the supply.
Using a 5 henry inductor makes a better filter than a 1890 ohm resistor does. The inductor turns cancel out the ripple.
If you're building a list of projects to video, maybe calibrating that old Tenma scope could be one of them.
It's in my bucket list.
I have found that any electrolytic will show some leakage when tested open ended with a high impenence meter. I'm not sure this test is valid.
Well, proof was voltages went back to normal.
Dear Radio Mechanic, I can see now why we replace capacitors, they become a real issue...
#1 failure point is caps. #2 resistors. Tubes are a distant third.
