That is one beautiful radio for 1946, push button tuning as well 😍 Thank you for the shout out too Vern. I have a US built radio in my next video. Can I say, I don't get why you guys trim the top end of the local oscillator then pad the starting point at 600 or whatever frequency. I know it will end up the same but it seems odd to trim before setting the start point. Anywho... great series and I love that radio, Matt will be very pleased 🙂 Oh... tick for the hot glue and the oval speaker and the 3D printed adaptor plate ✔✔
Thanks david, I've been chomping at the bit waiting for your next one. It's the highlight of my day when one of your new videos pop up. I grab a cup of coffee and I know I'm going to enjoy the ride.
Glad you chose to put the newer speaker in. The audio is much more dynamic and doesn't change the radio operation other than reducing the current draw.
Hello Philip and Hello New Zealand. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. You must know of David Tipton your neighbor in Aussi Land. Dave's Radio Adventures. He does great work as well. Check him out and tell him I sent you. Cheers.
I'm a fan of all these OLD radios 📻!! Just came across your TH-cam channel and subbed 👍 to it!! Too bad 👎, they don't make the good old things they used to. Just junk at Walmart that lasts less than 5 years. Please keep these GREAT radio videos coming!!Your friend, Jeff!!
you have a new subscriber .. love your format and love that you do not edit out mistakes as every one makes mistakes ...very good video's about that radio ... thanks I really enjoyed this series.
There are very few people repairing old car radios for the reason "time is money "and they make modern substitutes with modern components ( solid state) with the same or nearly the same radio fronts but not as elegant as an original. That being said thanks for showing that these old beauties still can be fixed up and working again regardless of the cost in doing so. They also sound great when fixed by a competent guy like you Vern.👍👍
Regarding your Canon EOS camera and battery pack, Canon has a DC-adapter and external power that can replace the rechargable battery. This way you can run the camera on mains power and not relay on the battery. DR-E10 is the DC-adapter that goes in the camera in place of the battery. CA-PS700 is the power adapter that plugs into the DC-adapter. BTW, I have a bunch of these batteries lying around after swapping them out for the DC-adapter.
Nothin wrong with the hot glue on those IF cans. The speakers with the foam surrounds will generate a lot of vibrations in components. The surrounds are for bass response. It’s possible to reduce the bass response by adjusting the tone cap to a higher value. ❤💪 Great video.
Never mind reconing the speaker 🔊. Just replace it with a modern speaker which is 10 times better. The rest of the radio is cool though and very interesting to see this old radio brought back to life 🙂👍
oke you got that one dude that does not like your phone chirp ?? come on all lets chirp all together chirp chirp chirp .... hope he got anoyed by that ...
The radio may not actually drift, it may slowly "bounce" off frequency due to vibration. Most car radios used slug tuning instead of variable caps to reduce this.
No, they actually drift. These sets use simple LC tuning. While permeability tuning is better than a tuning cap, they are still subject to THERMAL changes. Every radio from this period did. Including military radios.
Great radio repair series with some good tips. I think the owner will be very well pleased.
Great video nice repair well done enjoyed this series
I am always amazed at radio engineers/technicians abilities to bring old tube radios back to life.

Nice job, and I enjoyed watching these episodes.
Great videos mate keep them coming congratulations from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿

Nice job I am currently working on a Delco car radio radio from 1955 !
I had a Tucker radio made by Motorola. Never got into it but did move it on to someone who I hope got her working.
Congrats on a great job.
There's actually 3 place that recon. The 3D plate looks good.

Great video.
I might have used silicone, but certainly aren't freaking out over hot glue.

AT THE 11:47 MARK, YOUR RADIO HAS A STEAM PUNK LOOK TO IT
oke you got that one dude that does not like your phone chirp ?? come on all lets chirp all together chirp chirp chirp .... hope he got anoyed by that ...
I'm not so sure everyone is shooting 4k. The majority is just 720p being upscaled before upload.
Can you help me make a voltage step down circuit for 1950 Buick. My battery died while out and I couldn’t accept a jump from any 12 volt car. Thanks

P.S. this is why almost all alignment procedures tell you to let the set "Warm Up".
