- This session we build a replica of one of de Forest's very first vacuum tube transmitters. He had made many arc transmitters but they were very inefficient and unreliable. He then built a much more powerful audion vacuum tube he called an "oscillion." This had a much larger filament and plate so it could handle significantly more power than the spherical audions which were used for receiving sets. We will now build a replica of one of his very first vacuum tube radio telephone transmitters! He built this model sometime between 1915 and 1920.
Electronics, glass blowing, design/engineering, woodworking, metal working, wood finisher, interesting to listen to, funny sometimes, a heart for animals. Goodness, you are amazing.
You forgot to mention that she's also a dressmaker cutting and sewing all her own dress. She's a very talented old gal
OH my. Please get a push stick for your table saw. I love this channel. You're amazing.
Thank you for your videos! Very few people doing lamp work today.
Your "OK'"s are calming and reassuring and help the project move along.
You are A true craftsman in many fields ron
Watching a genius at work. What a treat. Thank you, Ron. God bless you and God bless America. 🇺🇸
your knowledge of old radio is next to none I enjoy every video you produce I have learned so much with your work your an amazing teacher
The first radio broadcast in the Netherlands was provided by Hanso Idzerda with a Forest Oscillion transmitter, That was on November 6, 1919. Very nice that you made one.
Damn, that´s a thing of beauty! Very very nice build!
Ron you should have a million subscribers. Its a crime you don't my friend. I respect you greatly.
Maybe if I wear a cat costume? :)
@@glasslinger Polly not the best route to the desired outcome but quite a picture indeed lol.

What an amazing replica you have created, and it works far better than i would have thought :-D
Ron you have no idea how amazing you are, and you make it look so easy, but it's not.
This is an absolute work of art. It is like time travel. We are witnessing the dawn of an age as it must have looked over 100 years ago. I am in awe.
Ron, you are undoubtedly a genuine "National Treasure"!
You are by far my favorite TH-camr. What I admire most is your positive attitude and your ability to laugh at yourself while being so passionate about these things. I learn a lot about the electronics, but most of all, I learn how I want to live my life, creative and positive. Thank you so much for these. You remind me of my great grandmother who passed long ago, but who was always positive and whom I loved dearly. Thank you again.
Back when I was a boy in the early 1960's my best friend and I used to make raids on the town dump grounds. We were both from very poor families, and got by on a dollar a week allowance, so if we wanted stuff to tear apart, the town dump was a wonderful supply. There were no guards, or "attendants" as there are today, just a huge pit where the city garbage truck (driven by my Uncle Clarence) would dump the town's garbage daily. We always found wondrous things, my friend liked to tear apart stuff for the copper which he sold to the local junk yard, myself, I liked parts for radios and the like. I once found the front of an old radio receiver much like the one you had in today's video. I knew it was from an early radio, all the variable capacitors and rheostats were there but the rest of the radio was gone. Oh I found other great items, the only thing I have left from those days were a set of butcher knives that I found right after one of the local slaughter houses went out of business.
Please keep your fingers safe, this community needs you :) very nice work, I loved it.
@meraydin1 Yes I agree. Ron could sure use some table saw push sticks to keep those fingers safe. There are plenty of free templates for them on the internet.
What an outstanding replica. Thanks for sharing, Ron.
Wow !! That is fantastic, amazing and a piece of art antique. thank you so much, you brought this old technology from the past and gave it a life, really you are a creator.
This is a master class in ingenuity and craftsmanship. It was a pleasure to watch.
I simply love your videos, especially because you display
- hand (re-)building of good aged technology
- the beautiful art of restoration
- your calm teaching voice
- cat content
Skilled at carpentry and early electronics. Absolutely superb Ron!😎
It's amazing! 😊 DeForest was kinda flying in the dark when he invented this transmitter. He not only had to make a coil, he had to know a coil was required and where to place it in the circuit. Same with the vacuum tube. I suspect he found a thousand ways how not to make a transmitter before he stumbled on this design that worked.
It is said there is a fine line between genius and insanity (I prefer crazy) and my friend, you are there! None of these kids nowadays could even dream to do what you do and in a pinch of all hell breaking loose, who is going to talk to others at a distance and who is not. And an EMP will fry all of the kid's goodies and the tube sets will keep humming along.
Thank you for sharing with us and giving us hope to bring back an era long forgotten.
That large coil you wound is a thing of beauty. Stay safe regards Chris
I like restoring tube radio's but I don't even have half the knowledge and skill you have. What you have made here is stunning, i have also seen how you made that tube that is also stunning! Thank you for the video and hope for more to come! All the best from the Netherlands.
This is so unbelievably cool!
Bravo for persevering and making another tube even nicer than the one that failed!
xraytonyb sent me here, and boy howdy do I not regret droping in again. That was a pretty amazing display of skills and knowledge.
No new posts for a while, hope you are well and working on some new videos. You Sir are a true expert and as an old time electronics engineer myself one of my favourite TH-cam creators.
Hope all is well!
We need a tube transmitter that hasn’t been made in 100 years,
Glasslinger: hold my beer.
Dam glasslinger your a craftsman your good on what you do. Love your videos 👍
I LOVE YOU!!! I don't normally leave Messages ,BUT I have to leave you this message . I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!! I was an Electronic Tech from 1986 to 2004, I repaired VCR's , Stereos, and Video Cameras. however I used to also Buy Antique Radios, I LOVED fixing them old radios however now I can even find the parts to fix 2 radios, and 1 radio-record player all 3 made of Bakalite . Again I LOVE YOU'RE Channel GlassLinger ):-)
Brilliant ! Thank you for showing your work, it brings a lot of pleasure to people who don't have your knowledge and skills. Matthew.
You have a real do all shop.
Nice to see how to make what some would see as lost.
Your incredible knowledge & experience on historical electronics is just phenomenal and a million thanks for taking the time to make your videos so there remains a record of this incredible first hand information for our future. Cheers!
This is one hell of a specific and very specialised skillset you have here. Manufacturing vintage electronic components with an understanding as to how they work - especially the holy grail of homebrew vacuum tubes. You're a very talented individual and many people on here look up to you indeed!
Well done, Ron! Thank you for your great videos! Can't wait for your next build!
I never tire of watching a master at their work.
7:20 Wooooowww your hand is so close to the blade!!! Anyway you are a GENIUS!!! Incredibly talented!
Excellent work! I can't wait for the next ones
An artist and a historian you are, thank you for making these videos, and please be careful around those unguarded power tools.
this is sooo exciting... and is like the very 1st cell-phone? Mmmm...:/ thanks a lot, great video...:)
Wow really enjoyed this project, looking forward to more in this series...

Ron, you no have idea how i feel happy when i see your new video notification...
Great Work Earthling Bless Up
Excellent job Ron I’m impressed and really want one
Amazing. You have mad skills!
I have built some transmitters over the years and has seen many builds, but this with no doubt the coolest build that I have ever seen. This is REAL radio.
Proof that there is artistry in the sciences as well. I just love your videos!
OMG that tool for winding coils on the lathe! Genius!
Amazing, beautiful work as always.
Sir, You are a heck of a craftsman. Thank you! CAL
I grew up with valves as a kid and I love the Home made Valves or Tubes as you say in the USA.
Great job!!! Keep projects like this coming, it's inspiring... 👍👍👍
I think you're amazing, you videos are pretty unique making items with such skill, explaining the process making it accessible and understandable to people like me with limited knowledge. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes to you and kitty, stay safe
This may be the best video I've ever watched on YT!
Félicitations pour ce travail exceptionnel!
Congratulations
Wonderful result, love learning from you.
Utterly fascinating-- every step. One wonders what Mr. De Forest would think of this-- maybe not as surprised as one would suppose. The early experimenters were all over the place. There were a lot of amateur builders and he might recognize you as being very familiar. Perhaps not as "amateur"! Never mind his reaction to all the modern equipment-- though you have quite a bit of old stuff to make him feel right at home.
Remarkable multi-disciplinary fabrication. And-- the damn thing looks great.
From Italy: I have been following your channel for some time, your projects are very interesting. you are very BRAVO !!👍👍
Another wonderful video Ron, thank you so much for sharing with us this great project.
Beautiful job. I really like this detailed videos.
The cation with condensers looking old and originals is awesome!
Art in her maximun expresion, brutal!
Fabulous, history literally brought to life before my eyes. Amazing, thank you.
That is a beautiful replica. I bet a museum wouldn't mind having that.
Nice to See You again in interesting work. TXS
Looks beautiful Rom. 👍
That came together very nicely and sounded great.
Used to work on BT the phones UpTo the mid 70s used carbon granule microphone.! Thanks for your time and work.
That's fantastic Ron a real blast from the past - Stay Safe
You never run out of ideas to fill the day
Outstanding achievment. Simply marvelous!
totally brilliant and unique Ron - I love your work and craftsmanship...
Great job Ron , Im impressed !!
Brilliant 👏 thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
Ron, you & Miss Kitty made a fascinating video about this reproduction. I'm looking forward to your next reproduction!
Hooray, another video to enjoy. thanks and I hope you are keeping well my friend. Genius at work.
I'm glad to see it working.
Nice work Ron! I thought it was going to be a non working museum piece, but you made it work!
On the brass plaques, you made them look like they survived in a smoke filled radio room of the 20s for a couple of decades. Thankfully, we have mostly given up smoking, except for an occasional circuit or two!
Keep up the videos! I enjoy the education!
I really enjoy these old builds
That was so cool hearing your voice come through. Amazing job.
This is *AMAZING!* If a curator or a staff member from a vintage electronics museum sees this video, they might pester glasslinger to do some work for them!
Absolutely fantastic! I love this old stuff.
What a amazing, Person, Your very special, It will be a Great loss, When you stop teaching, The young People that watch to learn from You , Will have a Great Talent, To show others, Great video, GOD BLESS
Awesome project! Looking forward to the next one.
I very much loved this video. And your 4 legged furry supervisor.
Creative minds at work! Excellent!
