The Panasonic carbon cells are pretty good and readily available and cheap. They are pretty well made. WAY better than dollar tree. You can literally crush a dollar tree battery with your fingers. I have a local supermarket that cells Kodak carbon-zinc D cell 2 pack for about a dollar. They are great. 8000mah according to the data sheet.
I like to call them "explodacells" because I've had two pairs of AAA's blowup in my headphones while I was wearing and using them. And a third time when I wasn't!
I have seen two *very* corroded Eveready cat cells before, however I also have two pristine (but dead) ones too. FWIW one set was stored in climate controlled closets for 40 years, the other set was in a house with no central air. Interestingly enough, both sets were in cameras, one in a Kodak Hawkeye FlashFun II and the other set from a Polaroid Swinger.

Hi Shango. I have that National Panasonic radio R 441 B. It has a "hidden" SW antenna on the front of the radio. Lift the bar that wraps around the radio from the bottom and the stations will come in much stronger. I think this radio was made in 1962.

The new normal.... did they pick that up from our premier mark rutte? I heard that phrase to much. Best thing to do is social distancing from mainstream media i guess... Btw... i missed your ranting about it... more is better🤣
What on earth is that "This is only a test" thing? I remember when you first tuned into that frequency in your 1937 CO-OP radio repair video. I started watching the video in bed and I fell asleep halfway through it. Then I started hearing "This is only a test, this is only a test" in the background of an absurd dream where some mechanical birds were trying to fly into my house.

I watched the video in its entirety the next day and sure enough the "Today is a great day, testing testing" lady was really there 😁
It's one of many traveler's information stations ('TIS') in that area. TIS is limited to 10 watts and found in metro areas and sometimes, multiple ones sync'd to cover a larger area.
@@ShyMagpie It's still considered medium wave. Technically speaking, the upper limit of medium wave is 3000 kHz, but some of it is considered part of shortwave bands regardless. That could be in part for ease of distinction between medium wave and international use of spectrum above 1800 kHz.
That Radio would get Tokyo on 593 and 603...Akita on 747 and 774....at Night from my location in the Hawaiian Islands.... even my Location in California too.,... Stations are NHK 1 and 2
I'm not sure if Shango is tapping the components on the circuit board to hear Trump or to silence him. I guess it's all in your point of view. More crappy chinesium batteries we DON'T need! After this I'm headed for the beach! Now where's my suntan oil? I'll bring a radio too!
Good Morning,I have one AKAI AJ-505FS Radio Cassette Recorder,Everything is working but only problems are in the tape side,could you please advise me how I can repair this unit waiting for your good advise and useful suggestion.
15:16 that means its getting at least 26.965Mhz which is channel one... but from what I heard , that sounds more like CH6 on CB which is 27.025Mhz so thats pretty good it can pick up that far up. with a slight modification I bet it would be able to pick up all the way to CH40 which is 27.405
It Depends On The Time Of Day In The Afternoon WWV Is Strongest On 10MHz Strongest In The Morning On 2.5 & 5MHz Strongest Later In The Day On 15MHz Strongest In The Evening On 5, 10 , 15 And 20 Sometimes 25
0:12 You know that the metal border around the National Panasonic radio is actually an antenna, right? It can unfold from bottom to top. I didn't saw you unfold it...
Several months ago, I picked up a small device that had suffered horrid leakage. I needed a cleaning supply but had none so I resorted to a bit of juice from a large jar of Dill Pickles. As you can imagine, it worked great and to top it off, the house smelled nice for a few days, seems all who entered had a strange desire to raid the fridge for pickles.
I’ve pretty much gone to rechargeable batteries. While technically they can leak, I’ve not had one go yet in the two decades since I began using them. I have have nearly a hundred of them. They don’t provide as much umph as alkaline batteries, but I got tired of both the cost of new throw-away batteries and their tendency to leak in equipment where they are needed to provide backup and don’t get replaced but maybe once every year or two.
In the US, I believe so. I don't think the Matsushita name ever really showed up on American shores, nor did the National brand. Hell, even the 1962 Matsushita set that Shango repaired a couple years ago was branded Panasonic. It got to the point that the company renamed itself from Matsushita to Panasonic, in 2008.
You should go back to carbon batteries for sets like that, unless they have a tape motor to drive or dial lamps there's just no need for the power that crappy alkaline can pump out. My favourites, if you can get them over there, are the red/white Panasonic "for low-power devices" from Poland. They'd go perfect in that National set too haha!
11:40 in & I'm Loving that National by the way, I notice it covers 11m on the SW that's a novelty. Even though we're on FM here I guess it'd slope detect & depending how wideband it is might get the whole CB band in one turn of the fine tuning... I'm now looking for one... Dammit Shango, you've put the prices way up on ebay hahaha!!! Oh also, look around the front bezel, it seems to have a frame antenna for better SW reception...
hi sir hope you can read this i just found one r441b from my old place and dissembled it the part with 6 holes (antenna?) seems corrosive and crumbled as i touch it
The multi-band National Panasonic radio appears to be newer than the Sony, as the former does not have the CONELRAD emergency frequency markings on the MW dial. Obviously, both came off their respective manufacturers' assembly lines during the dark days of the Cold War, though. It's also noted that frequencies are denominated in megacycles (MC) instead of MegaHertz (MHz).
@@crooner2007 I've seen CONELRAD triangle markings on radios that were sold in the UK. I think some manufacturers at the time printed them on all dials, no matter where the radios were intended for. Similar with FCC "Part 15 Rules" case markings on radios sold in UK and Europe.
some great radios fixed by the right person. I was looking to purchase a zenith 600 transoceanic last year, but the person in the bay area selling wouldn't tell me if you were the person that recapped it. they simply said it was recapped. I love the style and performance of those radios, love old electronics in general. but we don't have any local parts sources here anymore.
I'm actually surprised you found a bad solder joint. Panasonic/Matsushita made great radios and TVs in the 70s and 80s. I love my Panasonic radios and I even have a nice 5" Quasar (Matsushita made) black and white TV.
Both radios look like good performers The Panasonic looks to be a battery only set unless it has a dc input jack on the side. Hope you got your stimulus Covid 19 check. You sniff those cold solders like I do!!! The Panasonic is their version of the Zenith Transoceanic Royal 3000
@Shango066 I know this sounds corny but Thank You for your service...I've enjoyed the hell out of your content over the years and have learned aceloads.
Hi Shango066, Wondering if you do work for people from the internet? I sent a philco am fm car radio to a gentleman and he just can't fix it. I send the radio to him some time ago and I can't remember if it was the am or fm that didn't work. One works fine. AJ.
Thank you for the nice repair video. The selectivity of the Sony radio is excellent because it uses 4 IF transformers. I have still hope that you put a hiphop beat under the 11m mumbo jumbo. Take care.
Anyone remember using another portable radio to "zero beat" a station running on SSB? Crude but it works! Thanks shango066, some really cool vintage sets. It may be a good thing that they don't build them like that anymore. None the less, some pretty great reception waiting on improved design philosophy.
Two great performers there, nice job! FWIW I’ve had modern batteries leak while still in service in wall clocks, they weren’t even dead and they leaked!
Disc caps are micro-phonic, likely the reason why they were fixed in place using wax. They do the same thing for air coils, sometimes also with a bit of foam in the coil to stabilize the windings.

Duracell probably are the king of today's leaking batteries. Bring back Eveready carbons. The cat was kind of cool.
Wait, are the eveready carbons supposed to be gone by now? Here they're still available, and are probably the most inexpensive of all.

I love the style and performance of those radios, love old electronics in general. but we don't have any local parts sources here anymore.

in year of 1960's old time radios were handmade working on the both radios, little heavy weight
I'm actually surprised you found a bad solder joint. Panasonic/Matsushita made great radios and TVs in the 70s and 80s. I love my Panasonic radios and I even have a nice 5" Quasar (Matsushita made) black and white TV.
Good eye shango

Shango066 I’m in the Los Angeles area and would love to have you fix my Zenith Royal 2000 . Would you be interested?
Both radios look like good performers The Panasonic looks to be a battery only set unless it has a dc input jack on the side. Hope you got your stimulus Covid 19 check. You sniff those cold solders like I do!!! The Panasonic is their version of the Zenith Transoceanic Royal 3000
@Shango066 I know this sounds corny but Thank You for your service...I've enjoyed the hell out of your content over the years and have learned aceloads.
Hi Shango066,
Wondering if you do work for people from the internet? I sent a philco am fm car radio to a gentleman and he just can't fix it. I send the radio to him some time ago and I can't remember if it was the am or fm that didn't work. One works fine. AJ.
👍
I hope these are good, none of that corroded battery terminal crap. It's 2240 hours in Asia and I'm losing sleep to watch this. (smile)
Beautiful radio
Thank you for the nice repair video. The selectivity of the Sony radio is excellent because it uses 4 IF transformers. I have still hope that you put a hiphop beat under the 11m mumbo jumbo. Take care.
Sony no baloney. I make it a habit to pull batteries. New (sort of) lithium batteries won’t leak. They are getting cheaper.
Anyone remember using another portable radio to "zero beat" a station running on SSB? Crude but it works! Thanks shango066, some really cool vintage sets. It may be a good thing that they don't build them like that anymore. None the less, some pretty great reception waiting on improved design philosophy.
Just pulled the batteries out of my Grundig portable, thank's for reminding me :)
At 23:30, is she talking about phase 3 or 3 phase? Inquiring minds want to know....
Two great performers there, nice job! FWIW I’ve had modern batteries leak while still in service in wall clocks, they weren’t even dead and they leaked!
