Passing up a "What's in the Booooox?" chance.
Well I’m looking forward to the next video.
You know what I really like your videos and I like the way you explain things I'm actually a electronic tech I fix TVs and tablets mainly cell phones and stuff like that I really would like to be able to speak with you or chat with you sometime I wanted to talk about a couple of things in brief but I really wanted to know because I have a blue ring Q tester and I'm trying to see if all of my Transformers show up green or should some of them show yellow
I am actually a business owner and I do conduct Daily Business I'm just trying to hone my skill
Part 2 plz
Always a good day when Mr. Carlson posts a video!
You know it, Paul! :-)
When I was a kid ( I am 80 now), there was a radio in a central place in the village and a small speaker in the houses.
Similar to the motel/hotel scenario you were talking of.
You produce the best audio, very clear. Keep putting up material, watch them all.
Thanks!
@@MrCarlsonsLab Valve mics? Sounds like. You have a lovely warm noise when the audio is whacked up really loud to test that. Okay I am that nerdy and I already did that weeks ago ;) Really nice mics .
That's because he knows mics. No cheap Rode / Audio Technica stuff in his chain. At a glance, it looks like a Neumann U47 clone, but obviously, it's a pretty good sounding one.
Really thanks you sir.! It's just so relaxing and comforting watching your videos. Big thanks from Italy.
Thanks for the extra content. Much appreciated at at time like this.
You're very welcome Matty!
I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl in watching Paul go through this old radio. Can't wait for the second part! So well done in it's execution,like a skilled surgeon.
Seconded!
I have one of these! I actually got it at a yard sale, so I have pics of the pointer if you need them. Im half tempted to recap it tonight.
Becoming a Patreon member was the most enjoyment I have received from You Tube! Thinking of moving up a level.
Please! Please! Please! We need Mr. Carlson's lab more than ever!
500 watt solder-zilla .... Like a crowbar with the end filed down and heated over a campfire. 😂 I love your sense of humor!
HA- THAT'S A HOT ONE-!!!
Hey, kids, you laugh! When I started doing electronics a few decades ago, my first soldering device was a heavy copper wire that I stuck up through the grate of a coal-burning "Warm Morning" stove to get hot. Then I graduated up to a gasoline-burning blow torch that heated a crowbar-type iron. I liked that one - not nearly as many ashes. Those were the days! (From North Carolina, USA)
@ Used to have one as well. My father said he had used it when repairing eaves troughs. The tip was just filed off at an angle and might have been a half inch across. Don't know how, but I picked it up by the wrong end once as you say. I think I gave it up after that.
He does have a robust Weller soldering gun with a piece of 14ga copper wire in it to solder ground joints right to a steel chassis. Can't do that with a sissy froo-froo Hakkon!
@@deadfreightwest5956 ....the right tool for the job-!!!
The M meaning thousand comes from Latin (it stands for Mille) and Roman numerals. It is still used in the financial industry -- that's why they use MM (a thousand thousand) to mean a million. Old schematics also commonly use mF to mean microfarads and mmF to mean picofarads (micro-microfarads).
M is also used in the Gas (Natural and Propane) industry: MBTU is “thousands of BTUs”.
Yes, Paul please restore it.I would enjoy watching that.
I love picking up tidbits from each of your videos I watch. The amount of knowledge you have for someone of your younger age is nothing short of extraordinary. Either that, or you have a portrait hidden away in a dark recess of a seldom-used, cobweb laden wing the mansion that's aging horribly and you're really 110 years old. Thank you for passing on your experience. A lot of it does stick.
Just bought an old Hallicrafters 5R40 radio that I will be restoring during this virus crisis. And, thanks to your great videos, am confident thAt I will not be going into the project blind. Keep up the great work.
I've learned so much watching this man, and still learning! Looking forward to the update video.
Sounds good, Mr. Carlson. I learn so much from your genius, talent and skill. Keep them coming.
Thanks, Paul! Can't wait to see the restoration!
Wow it’s so nice to listen to someone so on top of his shit. Unbelieveable.
Thank you for the prebuild look , i learned quite a few things.
Mr. C. I love watching your videos! You are so knowledgeable you blow me away. I used to be a home entertainment repairman ( T.V. radio, tape recorders, etc.) and these restorations of old devices really brings it back home for me. Thank you so much for doing these.
You're very welcome Kevin! Thanks for you kind comment too.
Paul - Lab # 2. So glad that you are bringing out the treasures from Lab # 2 !! Keep showing us more
Keep em coming Mr. Carlson!!
Looks like old radio repair is what I’ll be doing to occupy my time. At least until I get back to work, or go broke waiting to get back to work... We’re all in this together, so stay safe my friends!
Wow... I'm actually from Mt. Carmel Illinois and the old Meissner building is still there!
What a trip down memory lane! Takes me back to late '50s when I was bldg Heathkits, Knightkits, Dynaco kits, etc. and fixing TVs. I'm looking fwd to when you actually rehab this radio! Thanks for your excellent videos!
So glad to see another video from you and what a gem that receiver is. thanks for sharing
You are the best person I've seen on youtube working on these aged radios.. Keep em coming, Carlson
I am always impressed by your knowledge. Bravo !
Thanks for posting this. Your calm voice helps me deal with the anxiety of the current time. Plus I learned something too.
Very much appreciated!
Mr. Carlson. Thank You !
Loved this video. Thanks for sharing with us!
Hang around and get an education that’s better than any tech school I’ve been to! Go Mr.Carlson! Your videos have substance!👍🏻
Excellent video !
Mr Carlson!He’s an Alien Electronics expert!
At one time I was considered mission essential but I'm at home, now, one of the benefits of being retired. Looks interesting, Paul. Looking forward to your restoration.
Now this is cool. Thank you Mr. Carlson. I have been laid off as a result of Covid-19. So looking for a new job. Just taking a break now to watch you. Thanks again.
Stay safe, stay healthy, success on the new job search! I finally got a job after 2 years of searching...then last Friday was told the place was shutting down for 2 weeks (no pay)!
That's terrible!! I'm so sorry to hear that this "hysteria" is affecting you negatively. Really, I am. It's absolutely outrageous.
Johnathan Waters The “hysteria” that will have killed 200,000 people in the US alone come end of this year… I guess we have different definitions of what “hysteria” is then. If someone blew up a town of 200k people to bits people would be literally up in arms, and the government would be looking to bomb some place in retaliation. But if a preventable virus does it, and people are asked nicely not to act foolish and protect themselves and others, now it’s “hysteria”? The mind boggles. If anything, there’s not nearly enough of being serious about protection. Total shutdowns were needed precisely because people were foolish and extreme measures had to be taken lest millions would die. If people did actually wear masks and distance and do basic disease control from day 1, there would be no need to shut down and have as many layoffs - perhaps even none.
I hope you have found employment and things are better for you.
Excellent vid, stay well
I never tire from watching mr. carlson do his thing!
Very grateful for you posting some fun videos during this crazy time! Really appreciate the effort you put in, and the unusual equipment you have to show.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe
Nice device, thanks for sharing.
Been in electronics over 40 years and never knew about BED resistors. Always learning from the Lab!
Well I sure learn some new stuff today! Thanks and stay safe!
Ya know, it's amazing the things you remember after 65 years or so, even more so the things you forgot ... Sometimes you don't think about these things until some one or something pokes you in the ribs. I would love to have that time machine Mr Carlson has hidden behind his secret lab. How else could anyone explain where he gets all this neat old stuff. I've never been a junk collector, however I would consider it as a hobby if I could get even a few of these things just to play with. I just absolutely LOVE these restoration videos, it brings back so many precious memories. It's always fun to learn. Thank you !
I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses rolls of solder to hold things up! Thanks for the video!
Fantastic looking foward. Mr Magoo in Milo, Maine
Great video stay healthy and I can't wait for a resto
I had no idea that Canadians pronounce thing the same way we do in Australia...like Zed instead of Zee, and solder instead of sodder. Impressed.
I worked for a hospital that had a lot of Executone nurse call equipmemt and I remember seeing this function. The nurse call/pillow speaker could play the audio and it was capable of 4 channels of audio. It was never implemented in this installation though. The nurse station units actually had tube type amplifiers.
Thanks for sharing that George!
Another great video Paul. Thank you
An excellent presentation Paul... WELL DONE!!! 10/10
Thank you kindly!
I seem to recall seeing a receiver very similar to that in an old hotel room in Reno, Nevada, back in the early 70's. Fun stuff :)
Looks like a really fun project can't wait to see then next one!!
Fascinating! Alternative receiver designs have always interested me.
Always interesting and always learn something. Cheers.
Can't wait to see the restoration.
Holy cow! I'm subscribing just to hear more about all the equipment in your lab!
Very glad to find your channel. Thank you for your work!
I think you are the best tube guy on the net, your video's are so good that I always watch them till the end.
Great content as always Paul. That is a very interesting receiver. Never seen anything like it. Stay safe my friend. I am going to work everyday although the county has shut down.
Now for those of you that are wondering about joining Mr C on Patreon but have yet no decided, Let me tell you it is very worth it and you will enjoy everything you see there. You thin his YT videos are great then you should check out his Patreon.
Thank you so much Mr Carlson! I’ve learned a great deal from you. I really need some stimulus to engage me and occupy my mind in these dark times. You’re amongst a tiny proportion of the World population who can do that. You’re a living legend!
You are the best Paul. Thank-You very much. Take care.
Thanks, You too!
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us! Blessings.
Glad to share Victor!
Great video Paul, thanks! I'm starting work on a really clean (but previously modified) BC-348 I had on the shelf. Great fun!
Greetings Paul - Hey, I love the sensitivity of those TRF Rx wileys. Not to mention the incredible wide audio range, like a 'live' performance... Long ago, I built in a large jack-plug several germanium diode receivers whose antenna was a tuned length for the station I wanted. Each unit had it's own tuned length antenna / Station change, pop-in a different jack. Went into a tube pre-amp then out to a good tube amplifier. Man that old stuff sure impressed my guests. No substitute for quality ! I enjoyed the Meissner inspection. 73, de Tony in S-Africa.
Awesome, yet another fun and interesting video to watch
"a crowbar tip heated over a fire" made me LOL
Stuck @ home with Mr C Yeah times are good... Cheers Paul. Hope you n yours are well TFS, G :)
Always, excellent information.
Thanks John!
The thing I love about you is you are not one of those people who sit and film a diagram for 50 minutes, you actually take apart the thing that you are working on and point out the component in real life, not on a diagram.
Big thumbs up mr Carlson
Hello Paul, Looks like your doing well, that's good in light of recent events. Looks like the TRF receiver will be a fun restoration. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and experience, also your video production time and effort. Governor ordered stay home mandate here in Oregon. Take care, all the best, C.
You remind me of my dad. He was a professional engineer. He designed amps, radios, TV monitors, and Video cameras. He also restored radios. He did total restores, including refinishing, or building new cabinets. His restores, like you, usually improved the equipment, to be better than factory. Look up, DAGE-MTI. That was my dads company. I love your videos. They are top notch.
I remember the A-B-C selector switch on the 70 volt Stromberg-Carlson intercoms in my high school; there was also a 3 position volume switch. The expression on my biology teacher's face as she walked over to switch off "Touche" by ZZ Top so she could start her lecture was priceless. It's too bad they gutted that building and "updated" it with all modern fittings; in this state, towns get no subsidies unless they turn every repair into a major project.
Way back in the dusty memory cobwebs I recall something very similar to this when I was in the hospital as a kid around 1960. Anxiously awaiting the restoration video. Thanks!
"... inside these resisto- err, capacitors.."
A Mr. Carlson Freudian slip.
He was right on both accounts considering the age and type. ;-)
Capaci-what? Those are condensers!
@@hempbear i see you are a man of culture as well
@@hempbear Or in German Kondensatoren
It is one of the three certainties in life. Death, Taxes and ALL capacitors become resistors, given time.
Looking forward to the next videos! And I like that old chassis diagram. Nice and clear compared to so many others I've seen.
Cheers Paul, great content as always
Thanks Brian!
Very good!
Great stuff, Better than TV.
Looks like a cool project.
So THAT's what those slits in the variable capacitor plates are for! I started my electronics hobby when I was 12, found radios, TVs, amplifiers, etc. in the dumps and took them apart. I built my first audio amp from scratch at the age of 15, later got and EE degree and here I am 61 years later, just finding out what the slits in the ganged capacitor was for!
Beautiful.
I have enough faith to push the bell icon for your channel and allow 'all' for the very first time on youtube. It is not something i do lightly. As a technician myself, i appreciate your detailed and informative videos. Rock on Mr.Carlson!
Mr C love this stuff thank you
Got a good LOL on your crowbar soldering iron description. This video is very interesting, your explanations to details is had me listening to every word.
I’ve always wanted to see more use of ‘curve tracers’ in real-world use. Other (great!) videos how how they work, and give examples of single components (from stock) and the characteristic curves you might expect, but they don’t really go into what using one to troubleshoot would ‘feel’ like. I really enjoyed this video. I really, really enjoyed watching the expert use of the curve tracer.
Keep’em coming Mr. Carlson, and stay safe.
Thanks Mr C, enjoy your vids immensely.
Thank you kindly!
I missed this video. I'm glad it popped up!
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@MrCarlsonsLab I’ve always enjoyed your videos. Being born in New Brunswick, I can appreciate the accent. You need a little work on ‘solder’ though. I can’t quite swallow that one. 73’s!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
You seem really excited for this one. It's infectious 😉
Very cool receiver! Thank you for posting this video. Even if I don't understand everything you're talking about I still find your videos very entertaining and interesting!
Stay Safe Me. Carlson! You're a treasure.
Thanks David!
Great! thanks
Robertson screws; a great Canadian invention.
So nice to see you
oh wow, i would like to have your level of understanding :) and the calm in your voice, that shows exactly the skills on electronics going trough the roof, like baah, another device i have never seen and don't a have a schematics for it :)
Hi, Mr. C...still waiting to see this old receiver get restored. Such a unique circuit, compared to what we usually see, so I hope you can get this going for us. Thanks!
Mr Carlson's Shop.
It's like Mr Rogers' Neighborhood for grown ups.
Excellence as always.
Hope we get to see this one completed soon. I love seeing these things finished when they've had the Carlson touch. I'd like to see the painting process too. And those face screws were horrible, blah, needs some good replacements. Thanks! Loved the vid.
