All the capacitors should have been replaced and resistors out of tolerance replaced. Crystals have to be tested. Great job on the case restore, you're halfway there.
3 channels, amplitude modulation, transmitter power approx. 300-350 mW when powered by 10 ni-cd / ni-mh batteries and approx. 200-250mW when powered by 8 * 1.5V disposable batteries. The actual sensitivity of the receiver is around 5 - 10 uV (the manual gives 2 uV for 10db s + n / n). The modulation level is about 70%. It was a very reliable device made on silicon transistors, 1976-77. The range of the device is about 1.5 km to the second same station in open terrain, antenna length 135 cm. A state permit was required. Military radio stations of this size had a range of about 2-3 km because they operated at a higher frequency (average 45 MHz) and their antennas had higher efficiency at a similar length.
Great restoration and by the way if you don't have any contact cleaner for the knobs you can use a few drops of kerosene instead (would you believe !!!) , i tried it on several radios and it worked.
I remember I bought my Danita Beta 3 in 1984 or 1985. I paid 400:- kr that's like 40 usd. For the same price today I can get a good Baofeng. It came with only crystals for channel 11. The rest you hade to buy separate.
As far as I know, it is a cb radio, so if it works it should communicate with other modern cb radios. The Danita Beta 2 works on frequencies 26.965 and 27.405 MHz (FM), so I'm guessing the Beta 3 is not far away from these values. If you can get a cb radio you can test it, but from what I saw in the video I doubt that it still works (but would be nice). There are datasheets online (in a language that I don't understand), so it can be replicated (sort of). The way you restored it to iit's current apperance is highly satisfying, you did a great job about everything. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Hungary!
Looks so nice now! Maybe you need this transceiver's mate to see if it works properly? Another unit with which it can communicate? I don't know, I am only guessing. Excellent work! 🍻
Nicely done. But be careful with using it. There might be laws in your country that prohibit sending on certain frequencies. This thing is old and the channels from then might be used somewhere else today.
@@Restomaniac all right well thank you I'm going to restore try to anyways a 1965 vintage walkie-talkie myself I hope it will come out as good as yours
Eskilerin meşhur polis telsizi. En son 1988 yılında görmüştüm. Amatör telsizcilerin henüz iletişimin yetersiz olduğu zamanlarda "arkadaş arıyorum arkadaş" çağrısıyla yankılanırdı. Yanlış hatırlamıyorsam Hababam Sınıfı filminde bilgi yarışmasında bu telsizi kullanmışlardı.
Hai fatto un buon lavoro! Pero' un po' di spry per contatti nei potenziometri, lo potevi mettere. Ad evitare che gracchia quando alzi il volume! Poi se guardavi i quarzi, avresti anche dedotto la frequenza di ricezione! Io lo avrei fatto! Lavoro sulle ricetrasmittenti da quasi 40 anni.

Большое спасибо, с уважением :)
Hello Resto beautiful restoration good job well done my friend
Thank you so much, dear Vince :)
The childhood memories you brought back with a walkie talkie! Thanks for sharing this restoration. Cheers from -18F, -40 wind chills Minnesota, USA.
Thank you very much for your kind words 😊 Cheers from Istanbul to Minnesota 🤗
Ellerine sağlık İsmail. Muhteşem çalışma. Yaptıkların arasında en karmaşık olanı buydu bence.
Teşekkür ederim Salih'ciğim, sevgiler 😊🤗🙏
Perfect. You bring back our memories
Thank you 😊

Cool vintage stuff well done.
Thank you very much mate 😊🤗
Great job 👍 love the paintwork. Looks like a new one again.
Thank you mate 😊🤗
Beautiful restoration 😸
Thank you 😊😽
Beautiful restoration from a old one
Thank you :)
Great restore and it looks like new. And great video thanks for sharing with us
Thank you, dear Alan 😊🤗
Good job and nice finish 💪👍
Thank you 😊🤗

Thank you very much :) Yes, I received a contact cleaner, albeit late. But I'm sure kerosene will work too.
Great job. Looks brand new! 🤘🏻

Thank you mate. I don't know much either. But it may be necessary to learn to use it for doomsday :))
Sehr gute Arbeit.
Ich danke dir sehr :)
All the components have advanced so much. Most of those parts are just IC"s now.
Looks great 👍👍
Thank you 😊🤗
Hey RM🙂
Nice work, great paint job.
There sure are a lot of parts to the board.
Hope you are all well.
Thank you, dear Tim. We are well, Thae care 😊🤗🙏
@@Restomaniac
Glad to know you are well🙂
Отличная работа! 👍
Большое спасибо :)
Another great job! thank you
Thank you very much :)
Çok iyi iş çıkarmışsınız gerçekten, elinize sağlık.
Çok teşekkür ederim Batuhan Bey :)
Cool resto!
Thank you Musti 😁
Great friend ! You always restore cool stuff. Very interesting. I learn a lot from your videos:)
Thank you very much mate, you are so kind :)
Sabır işi gerçekten ellerinize emeğinize sağlık🙏
Teşekkür ederim 😊🤗🙏
10:27 chi ama i gatti ha una marcia in più 😉... Ottimo lavoro! 👍
Haha grazie. Lucy (😽) è passata un po' in officina per controllare il mio lavoro 😁😽😽
Very interesting as always
Thank you 😊🤗
Brilliant job ..
Thank you very much 😊
I have this transceiver, good radio.
Great job.
Thank you 😊
Search the frequency numbers on the crystals, that will tell you what public CB channel they correspond to (if any). I had a similar radio.
Thank you 😊
AMAZING VIDEO
Thank you very much 😊

Thank you so much. No, I will not use it :))
Gene harika olmuş eline sağlık👍
Sağol canım 🤗
Wow! So cool!
Thank you 😊🤗
@@Restomaniac thanks to You!
Mr. Carlson's lab . He can help!
Great video. What kind of glue did you use for the decal sticker on the back of the radio
Thank you :) I applied a water-based adhesive and stuck it close to dry.
@@Restomaniac all right well thank you I'm going to restore try to anyways a 1965 vintage walkie-talkie myself I hope it will come out as good as yours
Was hoping you would get it communicating again. Other than that it looks as new as when it left the factory.
Thank you 😊
REAL NICE!!!

I don't recognize the name but the radio itself looks familiar. Did Radio Shack/Realistic make something similar ?

Grazie mille per i tuoi commenti e suggerimenti.
De acuerdo con Paolo yo queria sugerir lo mismo pero tu lo hicistes
Eso hubiese hecho yo.
Alô Câmbio.
10-4...LOL...GOOD JOB...
Thank you Bob 🤗😁
Wow, electronics have come a long way. About how old is this walkie talkie?
It's a radio from the 80's.
@@Restomaniac Very cool. Excellent restore!
Another extinct electronic item saved from the scrap bin!!
Thank you very much, dear Dean 🤗
У меня тоже есть такая радиостанция, только там нет выходного транзистора (TR8). Вы не могли бы посмотреть какой транзистор там стоит?
Технические подробности по следующему адресу:
pdfslide.net/documents/danita-beta-iii-cb-radio-walkie-talkie.html
@@Restomaniac Спасибо что ответили, но там на схеме нет обозначение транзисторов. Мне нужно узнать что за транзистор Т8?
Ideally, you need two of them. Or you can accidentally pick up a police frequency. If you talk they will yell at you to get off their channel.
now you just need to find it's twin.
1:50
That's what SHE said.
ну кстати неплохое внутреннее состояние, видимо, хранили не в самых говнах
you need two too talk....or mayb a CB radio with channel 14.
This thing takes 8 AA batteries?! That's gotta be inefficient
Yes it takes 8 AA batteries.
This has NO NARRATION.
