Opening up my second parcel of old radios. A nice lot with some interesting finds.
Keep watching and I will run through each radio and see if they work. Future videos of restoration and repairs will follow.
Welcome to my new subscribers and let me know if there's something you would like to see in future videos.
I created this video with the TH-cam Video Editor ( / editor ) / radiocruncher / radiocruncher . Have a look at my new website radiocruncher.com www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...

the great thing about youtube is that people are generous enough to send you stuff and its all to make YOU happy well done all those who send stuff
It’s always appreciated when people send me things to have a look at or donate to the channel. This lot I did pay for but got them at a good price. Thanks for watching
A great of all types of radio indeed!
Thanks. There are some nice radios there
I collect just about everything I find cool or interesting. My new thing is collecting smaller vintage radio and in one day, I bought 8 and that’s just the beginning and want more. So I’m glad to see other that love collecting radios on TH-cam and I knew I couldn’t be the only one. Lol!
Oh and I’m staring with Sony and Panasonic from the 70s and 80s. I also love collecting boomboxes, Walkmans and cd players. But I have to stay focused on just radios bc of lack of funds and space.
I wish they opened a vintage radio and electronic shop and I always wanted to open one, like they commonly have in Japan. But I should learn how to repair audio before even thinking of opening a vintage audio store. I think I’m the future you will see many vintage radios being displayed in businesses and homes for decor and displaying.
So I’m glad others are collecting and loving old radios and taking care of items loved from the past. Bc to me in the old days was everyone for a kid or even a family. I just get excited just seeing them work and play music. I mean tyat the thing about vintage radios, it’s something that plays different music and still kind of like a wonder toy and not like a toy that you just look at, but a radio plays this wonderful thing called music.
That’s what I need is a work bench and tools to be able to fix and restore my radios and vintage watches.
Check out one of my latest livestreams as there is a list in the description of the tools and equipment I use. Be careful though as the collecting can get out of hand 😉
Nice radio
Thanks for watching
Thank you very much, really great video.
Thanks for watching
I love the tube Robert radio ,but I collect tube radios I would love to get a vintage Robert ,because of your you tube channel ,I really learn to like the Roberts radios,and your show.thanks for sharing
The Ferguson had the BBC frequency change stickers they sent out back in the day.
I get lots of radios in with those on. I always take them off but I suppose they have a place in history
I don't know why but I think people 40 or 50 years ago have better sense of design than what we have today
Yes I agree Mike. The thing is that the penny pinchers got involved and that restricted the materials and quality of the sets
Yes, you are absolutely right bro. Anyway, Old is gold.
Thanks.
Muy cierto😢
Adoro estos artefactos de años anteriores son un encanto
Thanks. I love old radios but have a few too many now
Old is always gold .
Some nice old radios here. Thanks for watching
Wow! Very nice! 😊👌👆
Parabéns pelos vídeos!
Thanks very much
The bracelet is for Good Luck when you come across a radio that won't work, you curse it, then it comes alive, in the middle of the night.
I must give that a try 😁. I don’t know where the bracelet is now though
Замечательная посылка. Мои поздравление.

Hi do you repair radios as I have a few that need fixing.
@@rolandgallone6513 Hi. Yes I do repair radios. Drop me an email to Graham@radiocruncher.com
Hi, I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out but the label in the PYE suitcase radio does say GEC not G&C
Hi Terry. My mistake. I always confuse the script E with an &. Thanks for watching
I love the first one.. Hitachi radio..
That was a very nice radio. I sold it on eBay for next to nothing and regretted it ever since. Thanks for watching
Hello thank you
Thank you too
جدا جميل شكرا لك
Good and cool.
Thanks for watching
Hi Graham. An idea for your channel. A definitive/good way of using our lovely analog radios to play shit but useful digital stuff. AM/FM transmitters, or leads to AUX connections. LM386, Rasp/Pi. We weekenders Im sure would love some good info from "our guru". Because all I seem to find on the interwebs is pretty sparse, conflicting and DIY try this!. Cheers Graham
Hi Jeff. I will pull out the couple AM transmitters I have again soon. I've not messed much with the Raspberry Pi except to build an arcade game emulator. I have been looking at Bluetooth though but i need to experiment more before recommending anything.
Those Ferguson AutoTwins are quite reasonable soundwise, that's the Mark III version (aka Ferguson 3162) you have from 1969. I like the Defiant too. That Pye is from 1955 while the GEC (case) is from 1957. I may be teaching granny to suck eggs, sincere apologies if so, but those battery valve heaters won't stand any over-voltage if you've not done one before. If you look on the UKVRR main site (I see you''re a member) Paul has a very easy to build 90/1.5v power pack project for battery portables.
Cheers - Andrew
+Andrewausfa Andrew. Thanks very much for the advice. I've been researching the valve portables as I've not yet worked on one. Strange to have a case that looks right but with a different chassis in it! I have a battery eliminator which will work for the Pye but not the Vidor as that needs 7.5v on the LT. I have looked at Paul's circuit and its good but I fancy building the inverter type by Tony Thompson. This is where i was looking www.portabletubes.co.uk/sitefiles/ptbattelim.htm
+Radiocruncher Yes it fits though so no-one will ever know... :) I didn't realise the Vidor was a mains/battery with it's 7.5v LT. The suitcase portables always seem a bit unloved by most collectors, including me as I don't have any. I think I bought enough parts to do two of Pauls version so I'll have to make a 7.5v one now.
+Andrewausfa sounds like another video from you soon then. I'd enjoy watching that and would be tempted to build along with you. Thanks again for the comments
Defiant was a Co-oP brand.

Hi, fellow vintage electronics guy here from southern California. I inherited my great uncle's 1954 Zenith am FM console phonograph. He passed in 94 at 100! He told me he bought it new. It works very well and the cobra matic turntable works too. I use it quite frequently, but an electronics guy I know says I'm risking disaster by not having all the CAPS and other stuff replaced . Basically an overhaul he says. Is this true? I've been using it since I received it in 94, with no issues at all. Also, all the tubes in it still say Zenith. I would appreciate your advice. Thank you.
Hi John and welcome. I think if vintage valve equipment is kept in use it’s less likely that the caps will go bad as quickly as if they are stored for long periods. I’m not very proficient with valve gear but there are some critical capacitors feeding the grids of the output valves (tubes) that can damage the output if and when they go bad. Also any old electrolytics will probably need replacing as they will have gone high in value and could cause hum and damage to the other components. Good luck
@@Radiocruncher Thank you for your reply! I will pay close attention to any sound quality changes. As of now. There is no hum at all and it sounds very good. At 65 years old, I've nicknamed it OLD RELIABLE lol. I did do a dumb thing the other day, I was listening to it when I got a call. So I turned it all the way down. And for some dumb reason closed the cabinet doors. This was about 10.00 am. At midnight I head to bed and notice the little amber light on the bottom of the cabinet was on! I'm like oh no! Open it up and the dial was lit up. I immediately turned up the volume to see if was ok, and it was playing fine. On for about 14 hours! I'll not do that again . Probably added at least 5 bucks to my electric bill lol. Anyway, I subscribed to you and looking forward to your uploads. Thanks again.
Sounds like it’s performing well John. It certainly had a good soak test. Thanks for the sub
Do you convert old radios to bluetooth speakers?
Hi Chris. I’m sure I could but haven’t done so far
Yes Yes remake but the case one hundred percent of the old generation. I really like the design
Hi, greetings from México, I got a radio cassette but I don't know how does it work, it is an old radio and some people told me that it uses 8 mm cassettes.
Can you help me? And tell me the worth of this?? It's really in excellent condition, it looks like new!!!
Regards!!
Hi Rafa. Yes they did make 8 track cartridges which work very well. There’s not much demand for that though so probably not worth much. Is it a car version?
Nice sir video 👍
#karanjadhav
Do you put bluetooth module devices into them?
ChrisATV301 Hi Chris. I haven’t gone down the Bluetooth route with a radio yet but I have done a couple experiments so hopefully in the future I will find something that will do the job
If you want Bluetooth, this is not place for you.
I want Red tube valve radio
Hi Harish. I think I still have this radio. Is you are interested in it then email me graham@radiocruncher.com
