Back in 1974 I was 15 and was a dishwasher in a very busy restaurant. The next year was to be thier last as they decided to sell the place and retire. In the dishwasher room was a table top Zenith am fm radio , about this size here,, which was always on, in the corner of the room . I asked them if it stays or goes. They said, would you like to have it? I said sure, they said then it's yours now. I looked it up years ago and its a 1964 . I have never had any issues with it, all the tubes are Zenith, and 49 years later it still plays great!
“Aaand the scope died so we need to drop it...” *drops the scope, scope starts working again* this is exactly that type of sh-tshow I want to see in Shangos videos and what I love about them. Funny, entertaining, commedy and you learn stuff and see old vintage tube gear. Love this so much.
Basically if you are pro left they will not censor your comments. If you are a conservative or a right winger you can bet your comments are going to go into cyberspace.
You mentioned this was a cheap clock radio, but I was eventually given a similar 1967 vintage unit from a lady who still had the (non functioning) unit on her bedside table as a clock. It still had the price tag on the rear of the unit, $67.95. Story was that her husband bought it while she was in hospital giving birth to their daughter and at that time the purchase price was the same as their rent. She was livid! Unit had an open filament on one tube, EL 84 or EL86.
Course you are, Siri because you’re an American patriot and I’m proud to watch your channel and Brad to the repairs and bringing this all equipment back to life
I like that the first broadcast the radio played, albeit quietly, after sitting dormant for who-knows-how-long was about going to the moon. Very appropriate for a ‘60s radio.
Hello shango, you are rally one of this persons who speaks right throw my heart, we rally need more people and companys who took proud and converdence in their products. The quality goes in, bevore the name goes on! greetings from germany: Josef
Here we have the last few hours of our first normal year in years. America still strained but one patriot corralled vintage tube electronics, which alone is commendable. But this champion of the platform went much further and invested many hours in the taping and final presentation of the project. When I meet you I will know someone with a great heart and wisdom.
Interesting line up of tubes. The 17C9 is a miniature tube ( Noval +1) with a center pin no less. Brings out a tube tester but swapping out a known good tube into the radio is best results. Struggles with the alignment because of bad connection in the oscilloscope. Next video may be an oscy repair! Like to see that. One bad IF can fixed.
I had to go check my tube tester to see if it had a tube socket like that, and sure enough it does! All these years I have had my tester and I never noticed the center pin on the socket. Never knew there was a 10 pin miniature tube, now I do. Thanks for the info from he's the Master!
Never seen a tube with centre pin before. In Europe we mostly used ECC85 (or UCC85) for the FM tuner. I wonder if that centre pin connects to an internal screen.
Been watching you for years, love the content here. Was glad to donate for the TV project, looking forward to more repair vids in 2023. F Censorship and the phony fake show that’s going on. Hope you have a nice EOL vid lined up for tonight😊
Happy new year! I have worked in the electronics service field (Medical and industrial) for many years but your skill set in working with TV and Radios is at the next level! I wish I had spent more time in the Radio industry, so much to learn especially with tuned circuits and RF alignments.
I'll just keep saying it: if AM is going away it isn't because you can't have it in electric cars. My 2015 VW e-Golf came with AM radio and it works just fine. Love your videos and commentary! Best wishes in 2023! 🍻
Not incorporating AM in electric or hybrid cars is a good excuse to go cheaper on EMI filters in the car. Btw, disappearing analog broadcasts in favour of digital services makes it easier to control at a personal user level what contents are consumed.
I happened to see the image and name on your vid disruption , I'll never forget that clock radio . My folks had four of us kids and one bathroom , you can the problems . Our parents had this radio , theirs was maroon . But , we all knew the drill when it went off , both alarm and radio . Thank God for summer vacation from school , you could sleep thru it !
My restoration and attempted hot-rodding of a 1930s Setchell Carlson has turned into more of a lab experiment than a dedicated restoration. Sunk far more money into it than any sane person should. I'd maybe do the same with a radio like this. Old radio restoration can become as addictive and expensive as drug or alcohol addiction.
@@jeffreyhickman3871 You know, after I posted my comment I was thinking EXACTLY that...radio restoration is a lot safer than drug or alcohol addiction! :)
Starting off another new year, watching your terrific videos. Please keep Em coming for all of us who enjoy them all. Your hard work & expertise doesn't go unnoticed thanks again & happy New year
I just found the manufacturing location for this radio: 3324 E. Michigan St Indianapolis, IN. The complex was closed in 1995 and the buildings were torn down in 2017 as a blight reduction project. It's presently a vacant lot.
Cool. I liked how you went through a bunch of different processes. Exploratory videos like this can be very good when they focus on the procedures used. Thanks for the good content.
Thank you for the videos. I fixed my first silver mica diseased Zenith IF transformer a few months ago, after seeing one of your other silver-mica videos. I always enjoy your videos - TV & Radio and ... whatever else you're fixing! Best wishes for a fantastic 2023, and all the best to you.
I love it when he goes off topic. I would watch a plumbing home repair if he did it, and he did, and I watched it. Love his old 1920's house in LA. A diesel hit and miss motor repair in a mine? That was a cool one too.
Happy days with the scope heater problem. Very entertaining. Getting the best S curve, or getting the least clipping on an over modulated signal both seem to work pretty well as tools for IF alignment. S curve is arguably the easiest to see what you're doing. Especially with radios that contain crystal filters that have drifted. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I sometimes find I get better results aligning slightly higher or lower than exactly 10.7. S-Curve alignment makes it pretty obvious if this is going to be the case. I then like to like to jump back and have a look at a slightly over modulated signal as a check. Its very much a black art, but when it's correct the radio sounds like a charm.
Think I've watched all of your videos and you inspired a new hobby for me .I'm not very good but I only work on cool old junk so no harm. The commentary is what got me hooked
I vote for more hour plus video content. During this one I laughed/snorted so loud that I woke up my wife. A common risk while watching a Shango video.
Something that is rare or non-existent these days. Actually made in USA. When they had the old logo and were called RCA Victor with Nipper and His Master's Voice!!!!

Hi and Happy New Year! The 14gt8 is a tube that is used in my 1964 GE Pacer hi band VHF mobile radio. Fair Radio has used 14gt8's for $2.50 ea. Good place to buy parts. Have good coming year, enjoy your videos. Dale, NtwoDM, 73
@Eric Ruud,That’s the “Stockdale” method. Named after the character Andy Griffith played in “No time for sergeants”. Of course he’d also spit in the back of them before “whomping” on them.
Great tutorial, thanks! I don’t know why but I’d kinda like to see it all put back together and operating with the antenna hooked up and all, I guess just to see/hear how hot the FM is now under normal conditions.
Not trying to be snarky by no means, but ,I think its kinda funny some vintage electronic restorers/resurrection experts who have done this for a couple of days encounter different tube types in regular consumer home entertainment electronics and have no idea what they are and have never seen these certain types.Heck,when I was a kid it seemed like all I wanted to do was read every kind of old electronic TV & Radio service and experimenter magazine out there,coupled with taking basically "garbage sets" or hand overs given to me to tear apart to learn (or maybe even get working)LOL.
Hey, 👋, cool 😎. Such a nice 😊 retro clock radio. Almost like my dad’s, which was only AM. This one ☝️ is more deluxe with FM, too. Happy 😊 New Year, and happy and safe 2023!! Keep up on the great 😊 videos. Your friend, Jeff.
At less you got something going on AM and FM. In the SF bay the AM band have nothing. And we had a radio in the kitchen to play relaxing music on FM. Took it out because could not find anything on FM. Like what your doing on yoir channel. Keep up the good work.
The country really started going downhill post 1964. First to go was the introduction of 14 and 19 volt heaters. Now we have silver mica disease which we haven't seen in any radio after the 50's. Shameful!
That was interesting, you aligned both a radio and a scope at the same time. Yes it does suck when a piece of test equipment is faulty. I have one with faulty horizontal triggering that I need to fix.
AM radio discontinuation is because manufacturers are unmotivated to filter the noise from their inverters. Before suppression spark plug wires then coil packs, we had the same eventually solved problem with IC engines.

I agree, an off color joke is one thing but, being outright filthy or hurtful is another thing. This is a family channel. I trust my 11 year old boy watching Shango without me having to monitor a thing.
@@thetechgenie7374 Teaching a child morals is not being "sensitive". There's a huge difference between "colorful language" and out right filthy language, wouldn't you agree ? In the future I don't desire for my son to be one of those "gang bangers" getting into trouble with the law. I think Shango is a good role model.
A fitting EOL for this would be to drive over it with his front tyre whilst its turned on and tuned in to a mumble rap station, crushing it to powder, as its cars that killed AM radio in the first place
I want Shango to review a little "electricity straightener" supposedly that will reduce your usage by a large amount. No way this a fake. I volunteer to sponsor this. :)
Hi happy New year thanks for many good learning video ..maybe tube radio is old and not up to date anymore but still i like it and use it everyday in my power ampliefier for amatuer radio....tube is strong and dont blow up so easy like transistor ...but okay thats allmost religion in this day 73 from denmark
With AM band, over here we have the issue that we have exactly zero local Medium Wave stations, but we have one 1MW Long Wave transmitter. Since most radio manufacturers want to cover MW, there's no LW band on 99% of the radios. I only have vintage radios and my aftermarket car radio with LW. Typical stock car radio doesn't have LW band. There are also folks who convert MW band on modern radios to LW band (usually by soldering capacitors), to actually get some use of the AM circuits.
The peak point for the IF is the most silent probably because the AGC is overcorrecting, most radios I've worked on do overcorrect the gain for the IF.
LoL my eyes are that bad I have to use my phone can to see small things as well... And comments going is something I have a problem with as well...good on ya UA-cam.

Yep, that AM radio excuse is a red herring. AM radio is going away because of iHate radio and its ilk. Profit before listeners.
But thats a car from 2015, its now 2023, things have changed big time, medium wave is nearly completely dead here in England UK
@@Synthematix What's changed?

Thanks mate! Interesting video. The first of yours I've seen. I had fun! I have subscribed!
Very similar set to my ‘62 Westinghouse AM/FM radio. It turned out to be SMD in the discriminator coil/can, and an iffy IF that I redid as well.
The country really started going downhill post 1964. First to go was the introduction of 14 and 19 volt heaters. Now we have silver mica disease which we haven't seen in any radio after the 50's. Shameful!
For what it's worth, I'm bucking the trend. I got an Eton Elite 750 multiband radio for Christmas. It does FM, SW, MW, LW, SSB, and VHF Air!
Oh, and my car is non-EV and a few years old, so it has an AM/FM radio.
That was interesting, you aligned both a radio and a scope at the same time. Yes it does suck when a piece of test equipment is faulty. I have one with faulty horizontal triggering that I need to fix.
Happy New Year Shango!
AM radio discontinuation is because manufacturers are unmotivated to filter the noise from their inverters.
Before suppression spark plug wires then coil packs, we had the same eventually solved problem with IC engines.
