Restoration of an early 1970's Graymark 511 All Band Radio

I had built this radio in shop class back in the early 70's and had a lot of fun with it until I got a better radio and put it aside. It had sat forgotten until I found it recently, a bit rusty and with parts missing. I thought it would be a fun nostalgia project to restore it and get it working again.

We built these kits when I was in high school electronics class.

Very impressive for a school shop built radio - 50 years old.
Clearly, your shop classes were more advanced than my simple soldering of diodes onto a board.

I still have my Graymark 510, 5 tube superhet, that I made in High School in 73. It still works and I've never done anything to it.

I acquired a few years ago an earlier version of the 510, still in its box. I was thinking of making a video about building the kit.

@@FranksPlace-jk7pj They are surprisingly good radios.

@@Strike_Raid They used high quality parts which can be proven by the fact that your radio is still listenable with it's original filter caps.
