    Great to see you again Ron! You're repair vids are the best. So informative and I'm always amazed at your talents with electronics. It's interesting that chassis is one of the few farm sets from the '30's that has a constant dial lamp that I have seen. By the way Ron, it looks like the repro knobs are the correct one for Zenith models with that chassis. They were Bakelite with and octagonal design. A departure from the typical wooden type. The wood "pinch" knobs would be incorrect.

    Salutes, Ron. Another interesting and informative video! I have a 1953 Chevy Car radio that someone converted to work off of 120 volts. The transformer gets warm, but the radio plays fine. I have it near my electronic work bench as a reminder of my first car a 53 Chevrolet I purchased in 1966 for 75 bucks. The radio speaker was mounted in a chrome dash, and boy, it sounded good...........

    Thanks for a great video, Ron, you do some fantastic work. I'm in the UK and lived on a small farm along with my family in Yorkshire. I was about 4, but at the time we'd just moved there and didn't have mains electricity. It would have been 1954. Some of my early memories are of a man turning up every week in a Morris Minor van, and replacing the wet battery of our radio. So, it seems we had farm radios in England too! Happy days!

    I sure wish I had some of your valuable knowledge working with radios, I come from industrial electronics and process instrument trade background but RF circuits are a mystery to me. Also working knowledge around tube circuits is a vanishing art, a friend of mine who is getting on a bit in years is a former military radio and radar technician and has helped me in restoring an old tube radio set.

    Another Zenith farm radio conversion . This is a model 4-B-131 with chassis 5406. Not an easy radio to work on since
    rodents got to an IF transformer! Ron's cat loves supervising. Restoring it with new replacement caps and properly
    measured resistors would be next but it would make a very long video. Another excellent conversion to AC power Ron.

    I might be wrong, maybe it's hard to tell from the perspective of my laptops screen, but a LOT of these solderjoints look like proper cold joints to me, e.g. those at the fuse @13:20...
    And, a fuse, that is not properly installed with a fuse holder, is probably carrying mains and is "glued" to a switch looks fuckin dangerous to me...

    there was still a bit of 60hz hum in the audio, not sure if it was from the lights in the shop, or not enough filter caps :(

    And now you know why i won't pay a lot for old radios, mice chews, open transformers, crumbly rubber wires, bad caps, ripped up speakers, hack job past repairs. ☹️

    Great to see you back! A couple of questions, why don’t you use rivets to replace the ones you drill out to replace components? Also, the first time I ever saw someone scraping the capacitor leads. Why do you need to do that?

    • @glasslinger
      @glasslinger  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Screws are easier. The cap leads are corroded. Most of my old components have been around for 20-30 years or so which causes gray corrosion on the leads.

      @@glasslinger And modern SMD caps from the 80' 90's leaked and died as early as 2 or 3 years but that one was still holding its juice, lol. I thought there was a 60 cycle hum later in the video so maybe that power supply caps needed some more attention after all.

    I think you are doing what I wanted to do. Well, updating the power section. I want to remove a really old amp section of a radio, but didn't know if it would affect the tuning. Tips would be welcome. 1942 floor radio. TY Take care.

    • @glasslinger
      @glasslinger  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The speaker of the old radio is not capable of any better sound than the original amp can produce. Thus, putting a better amp is useless, and destroys the value of the radio as an antique.

      Not sure there is a speaker problem. Have not heard the radio since the seller removed all of the tubes. Supposedly, the radio is very common (little value) Zenith 10S669 or possible a GE L-916. Even so, with your info, I'm now torn. Thank you for your thoughts and timely repsonses. Good day.

    Ganz ehrlich, ich hätte mich auf den Austausch defekter Bauteile beschränkt.
    Ist doch faszinierend, wenn eine relativ große Röhrenschaltung aus einem 6V Akku läuft.

    • @danl6634

      Normally these would have an A and a B battery; one would usually be 90v or so. Pretty hard to find something comparable today.

      @@danl6634 Kann mich dunkel an den Schaltplan des Farmradios erinnern...
      Dieses Gerät lief tatsächlich aus einem 6V Bleiakku.
      Der wurde hier zerhackt und über einen Trafo gezogen, der die
      nötigen Spannungen ausgab.
      Ich fand es wirklich genial und hier auch erhaltenswert.
      Grade weil das Gerät noch in recht gutem Zustand ist.
