    I can recall my father making such splices with friction tape and string, even on lamp cords and such. We once rented a farm and the house was wired for power, however there was no power in the upstairs bedroom which was shared between me and my two sisters. My sisters got the bed, I had a bedspring on the floor with old coats and blankets piled on to form a mattress of sort. Dad wanted us to have power so he drilled a hole in the floor of our room next to the wall, then spliced three lamp cords together to reach from an outlet on the living room wall, up to the bedroom, the spliced on another long drop cord and put a single light with a chain switch in the middle of the bedroom. We would leave the light on in the morning, come down stairs and unplug it till bedtime when we would again plug it in so we could see to climb the stairs. My sisters always went up first, got ready for bed then called me to come up. Nice privacy there. This worked well until my sisters decided to paint the room since it was bare sheet rock. Well they went out in the toolshed and found a gallon of paint left over from the previous residents. They painted the ceiling and walls, only problem, the paint was made to paint old tractors, it was a very dark glossy green. Man that cut down on the power of the 30 watt bulb dad had furnished us, eventually he got us a 100 watt and we could again see but the glare off those walls were horrid! Ah growing up in the 50's, man that was the life, when we would shout "It's A FREE COUNTRY!" and mean it. Sad to see today that we now need permission to enter a store and must cover our faces with ridiculous masks. It is amazing how quickly freedom can disappear. Looks like the Chinese have won WWIII without firing a shot, our nation is quickly going from a free nation to a communist dictatorship overnight. Once President Trump leaves the White House the conversion will indeed be complete.

    Nice, great radio
    That cord repair? I have a 1937 Toastmaster toaster with a fabric covered asbestos cord set that after damn near electocuting me, I finally got around to replacing.
    The cord did enter the toaster through a Bakelite feed through but the strain relief was actually string wrapped around the individual wires and then the fabric of the round cord. I could invision a person who's sole job was to terminate these at the McGraw electric company in Elgin Illinois.
    I did my best to replicate this when replacing this cord with a silicone/ fabric wrapped three wire cord and grounding the chrome steel frame housing.
    Thanks shango066 for a great year of videos from you. They are always informative and entertaining.

    Wow that sensitivity is amazing. If I wouldn't have seen it on video I wouldn't have believed that that was recorded during the day. It sounds more like short wave radio in the middle of Europe, in the middle of the night, in the 1970s.
    Happy New Year!

    I do envy you with all those radio stations. I can remember living in such places, El Paso was like that, as was Arlington Va, in the shadow of Washington DC. I now live in South Dakota. Our home is a rather dead spot, I can get 1 AM Station, the local radio station, and zero FM. If I get in the car, I can get many more stations on AM, and 3 or perhaps 4 FM depending on which street I am on. Our cell tower (we only have one, Verizon) is about 2 miles from here, I get 2 bars, sometimes 3, the wife has an Apple Iphone, she gets only 2 and sometimes 1 if she is in the kitchen. We have friends who live near the cell tower, they can't get phone service in their house without an external antenna. There is a town some 70 miles west where I responded to major crimes, as they only had a 1 man force who also read water meters and plowed/seeped the streets. It is surrounded by hills that are filled with uranium and iron. We responded to a man with a gun call over there, our squad cars were 2 blocks apart and we could see each other but our radios (500 Watt Low Band) could not contact each other.

Town of Rugby, about 60 miles to the east of Minot where I was, they had the state low of -26 F and the windchill hit -50 F. Cue up "Baby, it's COLD outside!".

    • @bobtk2352
      @bobtk2352 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Larry Fowkes if you quickly stop the video just at 2:45-2:47, when he just starts to show the schematic, the power transformer has values for both 25 cycles and 50/60 cycles. So, you're right - it could run on 25 cycles, accounting for the huge transformer.

      Huh ? 25 Hz for the line power frequency??? I know I’m not that old, but what’s with that ? I thought all of North America was 60 cycle and other countries were 50 or 60 cycle. Notwithstanding the 240 vs 120 voltage difference between North America and the rest...

      @@brianfletcher9774 Areas in Canada and New York that received power from the Niagra falls hydroelectric systems were 25Hz. I suspect other areas that used hydro power back in the 30's and 40's were as well. You can always tell by the unusually large cores in the power transformers. Because of that they run very cool on 50 or 60 Hz. I have 4 or 5 sets that have 25 Hz transformers. They are pretty common around here.

    Nice powerful radio. Had unique power transformer from 105 to 240 Volts switched. Rating was indeed 55 Watts. Very little distortion due to a secondary Pi network on
    the feedback " AVC" line . She would sound rich with the tone control operating . R9 says 1000 Ohm 1 Watt but it really should be higher like 1200 Ohm 2 Watt.
    Cool cabinet design. Big bucks back in the day! I prefer the E52 which had better wood stain look than the E50.
    This was a black and orange (faded to a red sheen) stain/painted radio. Happy Halloween

    Happy new year, Shango! I don't think 11 degrees is all *that* cold. Back in Bismarck, North Dakota the overnight temps in winter often dipped down to -30F or so, but it would heat up to the positive single digits by the afternoon. As you know, that radio came off the assembly line when the only commercial broadcasting available was on the AM band, so the receiver *had* to be of good quality to compete for customers. FM was still on Armstrong's drawing board in 1937.

    The tape on the cord replacement is old fashioned electrical tape which is still used for wrapping hockey stick grips. I prefer it to modern vinyl tape for certain applications because it becomes as hard as rock as it ages and stays waterproof. Great for outdoor electrical applications such as antenna leads.

    That was before the Great Cheapening at GE. They made sturdy and capable radio back then. Those funny knobs they also used on their big consoles of that era. And oh, the very fast tuning, that is the two-speed knob transmission stuck on the high speed. Needs lots of oiling. It's that small brass sleeve right behind the tuning knob. They used it on many models all the way up through the "magic Brain" models.
    Very astute of you to notice the lack of AVC circuitry. I can only imagine that GE wanted to avoid paying RCA and/or Hazeltine for the AVC patent. So maybe they were already going down the slippery slope toward cheapness. Sad.

    Great radio. Would have been nice if the owner would have wanted that completely rewired. That old wiring really makes me cringe, but like you said...”use a power strip”. I might add...never leave the radio running unattended. Just my two cents, Happy New Year Shango !

    You've got colder temps at your place than we have near Cleveland OH!

    Upper left knob looks like fine-tuning for both bands, so that will make up for the quick lock to lock turn of the main tuning.
