I don't know why I was recommended this but I enjoyed it nonetheless, keep it up! "I'll also reinforce the smaller crack, then maybe I'll smoke some crack"

Anyone notice the spider that got evicted upon opening the radio?

Very cool!

Chicago,

This channel is gold!

Chicago, I bet this radio played a lot of that in its day. Going back in time, I was hoping to hear a bit of KYW and its tickertape and maybe the ARCO Go Patrol report. I sure do miss that. Or maybe hearing an old WIBG broadcast. I have one tape from back then. Man, those were the days. Do you have a LP (low power) AM.transmitter? I've got my eye on doing one like Gregg's Vintage Workshop did, just not so big. That would have really been a treat, to have a period correct playlist actually playing through that plastic beauty. Yeah, I actually miss Sears as well. Long live Silvertone!

Amazing!! It looks practically brand new.

Restoring that was certainly a labor of love. The wide traces on the PCB are a blast from the past. I am used to modern digital electronics with ultra fine traces and multiple layers. Also, that tube tester is amazing.

That radio, obviously found its way to a good home. boj eciN

I enjoy your sense of humour, actually and, BTW, nice repair job! Edit: I subbed to your channel.

yessss iam 1st viewer hahhaa

Lol cinch your nuts

I like your train of thought

Two questions: is that variable air capacitor about 365 pf and what is the transistor model?. Great video and a cool kit. Too bad toys like this aren't available anymore, kids would be more open minded and inquisitive P.s regardingthe headset, i just purchased a high impedance 2,500 ohms imp headphones identical to yours from a guy in the Ukraine, he has dozens 30:04 brand new in the box, it was $25 bucks plus 11 to ship.

Parabéns gostei muito top,

Nice work

Take out the bits relating to creating ariels from the mains wiring. Some fool will do what I did as a kid and and stick two fingers in the light socket to see what it feels like. Later as my interest in electronics continued I would start to replace faulty selium diodes in our Murphy TV, the one with the controls under the famous flip top lid. I discovered how by playing with the rf tuning coils you could pull in other TV stations. One day I had the tv in a room with a Stone floor. It was propped up on a chair with the outer wooden casing off and I was poking around trying to get the vertical control to lock. Suddenly I saw the set starting to topple from chair and went to grab it and I was in bare feet. Luckily as soon my fingers brushed against the steel chassis I felt the same feeling as when I stuck my fingers in the light socket many years earlier. If I had fully grabbed it I would not be hear now. This is the danger of tinkering and not being aware that transformerless equipment can be deadly if the A/C live side is connected to chassis by reversed connection at the plug end. Some muscians have been killed using Audio equipment that did not use transformers. It is very important for earths to always be connected on cookers,kettles and all electrical appliances so that if the live of the mains touches the steel casing it will blow the fuse or trip of your supply.

I just bought one on ebay for $60. You missed your calling , a comedian

So much work for just American radio programmes. That is truly depressing.

HaHa, Opening the box the first thing you got was a shirt. Almost looked you received the wrong parcel. I am 78 years old. As a boy I often built receivers like this and they worked. Again I am returning to my old hobby, luckily there are still old radio parts lying around here. Thanks for your educational video. Greetings from Amsterdam (Nederland)

Your bandspread works like a bandspread. Mine is flat with minimum change. Cant figure out whats wrong.

Does trump sell one I can listen to while reading classified documents in the bathroom at Mart of Lardo? Will he be able to use one in prison while setting on the stainless-steel toilet. Vote blue so we don't end up tuning into Radio Russia.

I have this little beauty and I am trying to get it working. I have a question though. In the D band there is no capacitance in the feedback circuit in the schematics, How does it work without this cap. . Do you owners placed a cap between the L1 and switch SW2? if so wich value? thanks in advance for any answer.

I did laugh. Which is pretty unusual for me. It’s gotta be something very funny… and very weird. ✅You checked both boxes🎁. Thanks for the fun!

I was gonna say swap the ram chips since they’re socketed to see if one was bad.

You need flux with that wik

I was crushed ❤

Do they have a kit that doesn’t need batteries?

Wonderful humor😂

I thought I was a cranky old fart. This guy takes the cake.

I would love to understand how this works.

You look like the guy who taught my Tractor Trailer Class about a decade ago. hahahah.

Nice radio. Curious how it compares to the Number 2 Crystal Radio Set? Does it do SW, or just BC band. The current owner of MRL seems a bit over the top if he was going to have the old video pulled just for the sake of the "R in circle" symbol. Heck, I cannot even insert the symbol here in the comments. That is bloody crazy. Could he not have respectfully asked you to add it first?

you can buy an entire condensing unit for 1700

Never would have imagined how much length of film there is inside those things!

I replaced capacitors in 1AESS circuit packs. You knew they were bad because they got red hot. I understand that AC capacitors (flux?) expand / inflate.

Kill the power before the power kills you!

Mine didn't work thx for vedio

Corrupt bastards. Excellent video. Thank you.

Well done. A bad start capacitor and they wanted to replace the whole unit. I suppose the HVAC technician could see electrons!

Good intro.

Fantastic radio. And nice demonstration of the 1 valve radio. Those components have shrunk somewhat nowadays, give me a valve any day. No offence to the marvellous tech of today.

Its a piece of junk. My Uncle built one and put up a dipole antenna and the tuner was poor and if you put a signal generator beside it you could kind of listen to SSB. He sent it back and got a refund.

Very good! 😂❤

Reminds me of the adverts in Boys Own Paper for one valve SW radios. Never built one but did own a Dulci crystal set from Gamages of Holborn. In the late 50's there was a lot of Army surplus stuff in Exchange and Mart and shops selling bits stripped out of electrical junk. Market stalls had whacky gadgets guaranteed to bring the world to your living room. None of it worked, nor did the white spot transistors from Henries Radio. As they say, the pleasure is in the making, not in the results.

I as well say Chas-sis

Nice and lot of fun project, congratulations! 😂 Which transistor did you use for replace the original? Greetings from Argentina!❤

What a fun video!

I think the first word of the red pen notes is "Sketch"

Best UA-cam video I have seen in years. Thanks.
