I recognize that style shirt, used to have one just like it. When I build stuff now days, I do it in my recliner, reclined to almost laying down, it's a pain thing following 5 major surgeries trying to repair my spine after an auto accident while chasing a drunk driver. At any rate those shirts melt when solder drips on them, the one I had developed so many holes my wonderful wife of 51 years decided it was time to take it out of service. It now serves as several nice cleaning cloths. I am a rather large man and the shirt was a 3X so there was a LOT of material left that didn't have melt holes in it. Thanks for the diversion, I am still caring for my wonderful wife as the cancer eats away at her organs, her hair has now gone almost completely from the Chemo, the doctors have put her on morphine for pain as well as some other pain meds for breakthrough pain. The meds have helped her a lot, she has been able to keep food down once more and is gaining some strength. Docs say she has perhaps a year, two at the most, however she will be in a nursing home soon because her body will no longer be in any condition that allows my daughter and I to continue to care for her. I dread that time. You see other then a year that I was in Vietnam and the 2 years that I went to college, we have been together, and very close, even when I was in college, I would drive home for weekends, even in the worst weather to be with her. Getting old sucks.

Great video man and you didn’t even bother with control cleaner, the resistive coating is damaged in that VC, you did the only thing you could to make is useable without replacing it.
Now a usable GE radio! Good work, Shango066! Thanks again for quality television, radio, electronic repair/ restoration videos! I am very happy, when I open up TH-cam, and discover a new Shango066 video!
I’ve done that resistor trick with bad volume controls that were no longer available. Last time I did that modification was on a GE clock radio. It worked out pretty good. Excellent lesson on rebiasing silicon transistors
My parents in 1960 bought the predecesssor to this radio, same general case and knobs but with battery-tubes. It needed a 90 and a 7.5 volt battery. Your replacement silicon transistor probably has too much gain and bandwidth so it wants to oscillate at various spurious frequencies. I would try adding a 1K resistor in the base lead and see if that quiets down its tendencies. Or if you have some, try a ferrite bead or two.

WOW. Un-powered and it effects the other radio. Fricken magic. It's sorcery. Vinegar would probably work better and dissolve the corrosion. I had a bad pot on a late 80s Realistic scanner. No matter how much I cleaned it it would get crackly within a month. I opened it up and you can see the slider ware tracks on the carbon trace. I ever so slightly moved the slider fingers over to ride on unworn areas of the carbon trace. Been working for years that way. Good troubleshooting on this one THANX.
The correct way to rebias for other transistor type is to match the emitter voltage, so the bias current. The reason is, the transconductance of transistor is Ie/(kT/q), regardless if it is Si, Ge, GaAs or any other. And this transconductance is, what the rest of the radio circuit is designed for (impedance seen by the oscillator feedback is exactly reverse of that transconductance,...). So with 0.6V noted in the schematic for the emitter, minus about 300mV of the typical oscillator amplitude, plus the Vbe of the transistor gives what needs to be at the base. So with 0.2V Vbe germanium it is the 0.5V, with 0.6V Si you may start with about 0.9V. But the emitter voltage needs to be checked and the bias readjusted (with the oscillator running of course).

Silicon RF transistors often go crazy on autoconverter circuits for MW radio, they have too much bandwidth and the whole thing oscillates with lots of harmonics. Sometimes, the cure for this is to add a few ohms resistor in series with the emitter, or a ferrite bead slipped on emitter or base leg of the transistor.

My parents had it hard. Lived through the Great Depression. But at least they had more liberty. I am living in the time that liberty dies. Btw, great video!!!
Interesting to see GE used other brands of transistors instead of their own. That corroded transistor is a Sylvania (EIA 312). I have a radio like those leather ones and all except one transistor were made by Tung Sol.
Those pre-1960 transistor radios are a b**ch to fix. Especially the ones with FM (I live in Germany where FM was kind of mandatory for all radios manufactured after WW2). It's absolutely crazy what they did to get away with the minimum number of transistors possible. Everything oscillates and has to oscillate in the right way or those things will not work. And then the bandswitches on top which switch barely detectable signals in the microvolt range. I remember tweaking away with those for days as a kid in the 1970s. Frustrating stuff. Thanks a lot for putting out all those videos!!
@@ModMokkaMatti Yeah, well our government hasn't really considered the possibility that getting a lot of people cooped up in a small space will SPREAD the virus.

If I read right, the tolerance of the 33k resistor is 5% (gold band) which is + or - 1k5 ohms, so the maximum value would be 34.5k, and the minimum, 31.5k. So it might be ok to try another 33k with, say, a 1% tolerance, or from the same 'bin' as the one you found that measures, say, 33.5k on the meter..
It was surely corroded out inside for sure, and 1260 there is a radio station 1260 3SR or was a radio station at Shepparton in Victoria about 100 km away.
Very interesting video, good work as always ! 21:20 the alignment should not be so touchy, perhaps you have to change the value of both of base-BIAS-Resistors and perhaps the transistor oscillates on another frequency (parasite oscillating 27:35) because these VHF/UHF-Transistors are much too hot for such stages! Some of them has to have a little ferrite-core on the Kollektor to prevent them from this parasite-oscillating. Perhaps another Type of Transistor is better, for instance a BF224, these are used in combined 455kc/10.7Mc-IF-stages... In my self-built superhet radios the biasing of the mixing or oscillator-stage is by far not that touchy.

Very interesting video, good work as always ! 21:20 the alignment should not be so touchy, perhaps you have to change the value of both of base-BIAS-Resistors and perhaps the transistor oscillates on another frequency (parasite oscillating 27:35) because these VHF/UHF-Transistors are much too hot for such stages! Some of them has to have a little ferrite-core on the Kollektor to prevent them from this parasite-oscillating. Perhaps another Type of Transistor is better, for instance a BF224, these are used in combined 455kc/10.7Mc-IF-stages...
