Hi John! I've been working through your carb rebuild series for the 4100 on the Thunderbird. I rebuilt the thing about 15 years ago, and it's run fairly well ever since, but she started squirting fuel outside, so it was time. I know I didn't pay nearly as much attention last time, so your insights are invaluable! Very well done! I've delved deeper into your other videos and I have to say, I'm very pleased to find you still going strong! You're a fun watch and take on some pretty tough stuff. Great job, we'll keep coming back!! Thanks again from Tx.
Another great educational vid that actually shows the work! I don't mind long videos if I'm learning... Looking forward to the next one... Thanks- Harry
Harry, Thank you, my friend, that's very good to hear. My vids have always involved detail, primarily for those who aren't in the know about this stuff, the young and curious. And more often than not it's also a refresher for those who merely dabbled in it years ago and would like to give it another try. Regards, John
Hi John, I wonder whether when these radios were being originally produced, the workers doing the assembly soldered those capacitors the way they did simply for speed of production rather than have to spend time doing a neat job! Just a thought!
Gordon, Actually, those filter cap soldering jobs were done not at the factory, but more likely by an "Uncle Billy", everyone's traditional family fix-it man, or by some local corner radio repair shop. Regards, John

Excellent explanation of capacitors. Is Dr evil would say billions.. of electrons.
Dr. Evil? What's Buzz got to do with this?

Hello John. I enjoyed the video. If you run out of flux, can you use ear wax? They look the same. LOL.

It would be a lot cheaper. 😋
