    Those are clutch head screws; they were used on Chevy trucks and other GM vehicles from the 1940s through the mid-1960s. Clutch head screws were also used in mobile home and travel trailer manufacturing from the 1950s into the 1970s. Clutch head screws are ideal in a vibration application because they can be torqued more than standard screws when installed. I've also seen them used in old Sun test equipment.

      This radio was not made in Canada and those are not Robertson screws. Guild Radio and Television was
      in Inglewood ,California ! At 4:27 in you see a screw head that is holding the phenolic base of the E cap (and
      also the audio transformer ) was actually called a tamperproof clutchhead security screw. There were several
      types of security screws available back in the 1950's and 1960's . In radios the most common one was called the
      triwing and had three slots in the center to keep the front of a dialface from being removed from the chassis.
      Used long before Nintendo ever used them ! They aren't rivets as some restorers think. Needed a special screw-
      driver for each type to remove any of them.

    1:30 That's an interesting dial. I don't see any civil defense markings even though 1962 was at the tail end of the CONNELRAD era. The "POLICE" zone above 1600 is also kind of novel; I wonder how many police departments still used those frequencies in 1962; I think it's just room for a few more stations now. The spring clip on the loopstick is also unusual; I assume that's for an external antenna.

    Odd (in my opinion), both mint and motorboating, but not humming (as I would expect for bad smoothing). As well as the commentary, It was the stamps that amused me, not $8 or $9 or $10 but $8.95. There must be some really large stamp books in the post offices.

    • @russellhltn1396
      @russellhltn1396 Рік тому

      while the stamp value seems odd, it's probably a common value, such as the starting postage for Priority Mail (currently as $9.35). Filter hum is usually the first capacitor after the rectifier, but later stages can cause motorboating. The power comes in though a dropping resistor and without the smoothing cap, the power audio stage affects the voltage on more sensitive stages.
