If you every want to part with it please let me know. I see you got Dickel doing a GOOD job. Blessings and Merry Christmas to you and your family. Leo

      Hi Leo.....wow! double wow!....This news is better than I expected. You actually played in the Templetone parking lot!... Did you have anybody you knew who worked in the factory? I love history like this.... Leo, if you want this radio, I will give it to you for free, if you can pay for the shipping. I think the radio would be happy to go back to Connecticut. Please let me know!.. Hope you and your family have the merriest of Christmas's...email me @

    It popped into my head, in 1957, my mother escaping something loaded up the 52 two tone Buick Super with Dynaflow. We were on our way to Cali from NY, US 30. and US 6 past Chicago. Two lane. We got out "West" they were just building 80 and we'd hit detours and traffic jams as they blasted. But there were signs "Turn off Radios, Blasting" We turned off the big chrome radio in the Buick. I was about seven. I sat on my grandmothers lap the whole way and if we had hit something both of us would have launched with me first. We didn't though. I remember we almost got run down in Reno crossing the street. We made it to SF the foggy city. We came back six months later. Same route. My grandmother smoked the whole way. Talk about second hand smoke. Not to mention Burma Shave. Always a great restore.

    Great video as usual Buzz and great entertainment. Your editing is amazing and having spent ages trying to copy your style for next week's special Buzz segment I am even more in awe. Hey! Were they my undies? It looks like there is no hope for punk Buzz 😟 Merry Christmas to you, Dickel and family (nice to see Dickle come out ahead) and all the best for 2023 🙂

    • @Buzz1151

      haha, Hi David...I must admit, you caught me!!!!.....those were indeed your undies from my last restore. I am sorry, but they were the best I ever had to apply the stain. 😁😁... The so called "Punk" was sentenced to death in 1968 for murder, but it was commuted to life in prison without parole, due to a a liberal California judge!🤣..Have a Happy New Years my friend, in the Land Down Under! 🦘🦘🦘

    That Temple radio turned out to be a real nice radio!! Interesting to find out it was made in New London Connecticut! I think New London was home to the Electric Boat co makers of submarines but I may be wrong on that! Anyway, that area of Connecticut including Bridgeport and other locals was highly industrialized during WW2 my mother and her twin sister worked for G.E. at the Kossuth Street plant in Bridgeport and had friends that lived in New London. The G.E. plant was vacated many years ago and was recently torn down to make way for a new school building!!! Buzz I am wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

    Hi Buzz, I can't help but feel your restoration of this Temple radio is a tribute to those very ladies pictured on the assembly line 75 years ago making it. What a great connection! Loved the horse video, proof horses have horse sense. My cats do the very same thing when I open the door and there is a snow drift before them, except they seem to take longer to ponder the situation and then finally give up on their vagabond ways and return to the warmth and safety of the abode. The movie featurette reminded me of Hitchcock's "Psycho:" back in 1959 when the shower scene turned unexpectedly into a horror scene. Ho, Ho, Ho, I confess "Bad Santa" is one of my favorite Christmas movies, right up there with "Miracle On 34th. St."
    Thank you for all the wonderful video gifts you have blessed us with over the years. May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    I guess Dickel deserves that 100 bucks for the internet research and Christmas present. So you found the cabinet label
    saying it was an E-514 (even though the dial face glass is from a G-515, ssh our secret). Someone must have tried
    cleaning the original one only to find it washed off! Great cabinet work , interior repaint from that ugly white, and original
    label save Buzz! I wish you , Dickel and fam a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. Steve

    One of my Aunt's had a that Temple Console Radio & Turntable cabinet combo back in the 50's I saw that photo Dickel found and memories came flooding in. Another great rework, I think its a looker myself. Also the gold grill cloth really works much better that cathedral radio too. 👍 Thanks BUZZ, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to your family too.

      Hi Sam....Yeah, some of those pics of the Temple combos looks pretty good....I think it was about time to change the grille cloth on that 1932 cathedral! .....Here's hoping you and yours have the best Christmas yet!.

Well I have only been home a week from the hospital where I was in icu for about a week had a sepsis blood infection and Atrial Fibrillation. All because my immune system is compromised by Leukemia so I will be having Chemo in about 10 days that will continue 4 to 6 months

    Another Great Video Buzz!!
    Even before you mentioned doing it, I wondered if you were going to try to save that label on the underside.
    I'm glad that you tried, and am DOUBLE GLAD that it worked, and that you succeeded as you did!! 🙂
    Thanks for all the great videos this year Buzz!! Can't wait to see your 1st one, of the new year!! 😊
    2022 has ended on a bit of a "rough note" for me: I was already suffering the effects of worsening Osteo Arthritis, in my Right Knee, Right Hip, & Lower Back; then due partly to the effects of that, the following happened:
    On October 9th, I took a bad fall, and broke my Right Ankle in 3 places,
    2 breaks on my Fibula, & 1 break on my Tibia!!
    I've already been trying to get S.S.A. Disability due to the Arthritis affecting my mobility quite a lot, now, one of the Dr's. who attended me at the hospital during my 3 hour ankle surgery; says that he don't see me ever working again, as badly as I broke that ankle!
    If only Santa Claus was "really real" I think I'd ask him for at least 2 things:
    1). To make a way that I could get hold of one of those ol' Tube Radios, to "tinker with" & try my hand at repairing and/or restoring it!!
    2). To help me complete the goal, in the "Go Fund Me" Page, which I posted awhile back!
    One VERY KIND GENTLEMEN, donated generously to my family & I, but no one else has donated so far, & I still have $500 to go, to fulfill my goal!
    I hesitate to post the name of my "Go Fund Me" page here, as I dunno if that would really be proper.
    But, just in case any fellow "commenters" (or anyone else, who might see this & not leave a comment), may care to donate, my page can be found on Facebook, at: "Ronnie Hazlett Jr."
    Thanks Again For All Your Great Videos Buzz, & May You and all fellow viewers to your channel, have:
    A VERY MERRY & BLESSED CHRISTMAS!! 🎄🎁 ⛄
    &
    A VERY BLESSED, HAPPY, & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TOO!!!

      You're quite welcome, Buzz! & Yes! I am SO HOPEFUL that things WILL get better for me here, in 2023!!
      My Ankle seems to be healing & mending pretty well, although I must admit, that here lately, especially yesterday; (Saturday), I have been lacking help to get things done, and have on my feet, WAY MORE than I should be!!!
      Yesterday, (for the 1st time since my accident), I was having to lift things, which I prob'ly SHOULDN'T have been trying to do!!!
      Luckily, that didn't seem to affect my bad Ankle very much, but my Arthritic Knee & Hip, got to throbbing & aching pretty badly!!
      Take Care & Talk To You Again Soon!

    Buzz" Great restoration. I was surprised when you booed yourself after the restoration. Not sure what you felt was bad with your effort. The only thing that concerned me was the new venier not matching up but you got it to look right. I would have thought you would have affixed a label to the back cover as it was surprisingly stark. Maybe a lable of the Temple logo with your label of restoration and date. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and look forward to your next project.
