Ron, I saw you uploaded a new video and couldn't press the mouse fast enough to get here.
Thank you Ron, love your videos, rather watch you than the BBC any day!
Hey, Ron! I was getting a little worried. Glad to see you post again.
Me to
I can not thank You enough for still making and uploading all those awsome videos Ron!
Is very nice to see yours videos.
Great job and restauration.
I learn a lot seeing yours videos.
Congratulations - São Paulo- Brazil
I just LOVE your vids, Ron. It brings me back to my youth.. I used to collect radios, many danish produced radios like B&o and TO-R.. from the 40´s. In our neighbourhood there was a old guy, who had a workshop in his backyard. He repaired all these old things- the same way like you. He knew excactly where to search for the damage, and laughed when he found it. Then- new wires, components, tubes ..etc-etc... Next day I could pick up my radio... Sadly, I had to sell most of them as I moved out from my parents....( saved a couple of them ) .. sad story.........
Still- having good memories and a couple of my radios ....
Can you do a video of fixing your computer once your parts come in?
Lovely to see a new video. I hope your computer issues are soon resolved.
Wow Ron made another old radio repair video! He knows what to do to fix it and not mess around , like replacing all the caps.Quite a few UA-cam radio repair guys
could never post a single video to make it look pretty again in less than a hour video.😁📻👍🏻👍🏻
I am very impressed with you, because you can make or produce yourself a triode tube and another electronic tube.
I beleave this was one of the best condition radios I have see you restore.
I have been watching your Restoration Videos on antique radios. Great Job, Keep it up.
The cat did a quick fly by on the recap inspection. Another good one, Ron...
I really love that ancient quarter inch screwdriver!
Over 50 years old! (like me!)
I was going to go to bed, but glad to see a video from you pop up!
Kitty are Master in the shop 😁
Beautiful radio and restoration!
Glad to see you're back!
What a cool little radio! It looks beautiful and sounds good!
Nice to see you back!
Just found this channel and am much impressed (and subscribed). Seeing the old stuff brings back a lot of memories.
Was going to sleep soon not anymore glad your back
Ron, thanks for another great video! Please keep them coming.
The metal fixing screws under the bottom of the cabinet are electrically connected to a maybe hot chassis! And they are easy to grab while moving a plugged in radio. I bet they were originally covered by insulating plugs that have now disappeared?
A fine Tuesday treat. Thank you!
Nicely done ! Love to see your radio collection .
Good to see your still working
Determined tenacity. Thanks.
glad to see you back,,,great job
Great to see you back with a video, just what I needed to be honest.
Love watching all these restorations, they are fascinating. 🙂
Thank you very much for yet another excellent upload. I learn a great deal from your videos. Keep it coming!👍
I stumbled across your page and I love it! Your style, knowledge, skill and demeanor, are all amazing! Thank you! Keep it up!!!
Fun to watch, kept checking back, ,glad you posted another video.!
I just discovered your channel, and already I love your humor, your work, and your choice of projects to show us. Thank you so much for your efforts.
Looking at the wiring in that little radio made me think that technology never really changes. The way they wired that thing is a perfect metaphor for modern computer software. As they say, "If it does the job before you get fired, it's a good design."
Best wishes from Wisconsin!
Good one as always!
I just came by to say that I reallly enjoyed your videos about the nixie tubes. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge!
Small radios are my favorite. Glad to see you posting a new video. You have been missed.
Thank you for making these videos
Enjoy these videos so much Thanks !
What a sweet little radio! Don't blame ya for putting that in your collection! Nice!
Nice little set and, as usual another enjoyable and informative episode. Thank you.
Love your vídeos! Thanks for show
So happy to see you back. I learn so much from you. You're the best. Love the kitty, too!
I like the way you just get on with replacing the caps and then stain and clear coat the case, Ron. ..a very good looking , collectible radio.
Great restoration. I'd love to get my hands on a cute antique radio like this one. Possibly some day.
This is a wonderful surprise ...
Nothing warms the heart of a techie more than to see wire cutters clicking and electronics work happening. Click, Snip, Snip, Solder, Solder. Video that warms our hearts. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your little side stories as you progress through the refurbishment. E.g the old plugs sell on Ebay.. Bravo
Fantastic work Glasslinger. I love your little sinister laugh you did as you were screwing the back cover back on. Makes me laugh every time you do it. I really like your valve making videos. Just fascinating watching you work.
I'm a fan of your channel.
Another fantastic restoration glad to see you and the boss kitty back.
Thanks for another great video, Ron! WD2LGB
Very enjoyable watch, I never fail to be impressed by how simple radios gave the people access to the world.......Great stuff!!
I like to see your videos. Thank you for doing this restoration.
Nice job on the cabinet!
You did an awesome job
A master class lesson from a master tech. You probably forgotten more than most of will ever know. Thank you.
i will impress with your work !you are very hard worker
You do a first class job on this radio making it look like it's just out of the factory!Regards Colin
Glad you put up another video! 😊😊😊
I love your videos.. I live in upstate N.Y and the winters are long and cold.. But I watch your videos and it helps me a great deal getting through winter, and I learn a great deal.. Thank You for sharing your knowledge with us.. "God Bless" Ben..
welcome back Ron. nice little set.
I seen that you put on a video and had to stop everything just to watch! Very Good!
Nice work, I just finished my Zenith H500, I was astounded with how good it sounds.
Ever since you showed the CRC for switches I have been using and works Great. Thank you
I'm always impressed by the efficiency of your work.... with an old school soldering gun none the less.
Enjoyed the video and glad you got a (CAT SCAN) in the process!
Thanks for your videos. I always learn from them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Miss Kitty is beautiful!
I have been doing this as a hobby (old radio restoration) for about 40 years now. Always something new learned from watching your videos. Thank You !!
Nice one Ron 👍👍👍
I use to repair old radios too it was fun to revive old stuff im also Called the speaker doctor did reconeing of speakers and even made my own coils to drive them if the coils where burnt i would use a mold to hold the paper and coiling wires and wind this wile the cylinder is on the mold ,i use ceran wrap for seperation of the mold from the cylinder it will just slide off the mold and id have a perfect 1 inch coil or what ever the coil size is, takes a bit of work, most of the parts in a speaker are made on some kind of mold even the cone they are pressed ,i can also make a speaker out of some coil wire a magnet and paper i can make a working speaker , i like what i see in your videos your very smart with electronics ,my father was into ameture radio i learnt a lot from him about electronics and went to the ham fairs some times id even score some thing cool, one time i scored the first solid state portabul radio it had a nice gold handle , i payed three dollars for it around and sold it for 800 dollars tiny radio , i have a very cool tube tester, made in new york city it a little grey suit case and inside is a very impressive tube tester if your interested in this tell me who s what could happen it s very cool but i imagine u already have one good job on that .

Good night.I from Brazil,and i like to see your videos.Is very nice Thank you for beautiful images!
LOVE YOUR KITTY!
Finally! Hope all is well now and the world is back to normal!
Great one Ron, sweet little radio. Good to see the Cat Controller!
CRC does make a contact cleaner too. I have a similar model, but mine has push buttons at the top with the little labels to set various stations. Nice job on the cabinet.
Used to get that "wire cover" called spagetty. Various colours. And added to the safety of tube sets. Good to see a clear window. Most I see are discoloured from the dial lamp.
That's a really cute radio. It would be nice to have something like that which is both FM and AM.
This is awesome.
Well done!
Thanks for the tip on the Brakleen. I have been using electronic tuner cleaners for years and didn't know about this. It's a good cheaper alternative to expensive specialized cleaners.
I like smal radios, great job :)
I just plugged in my deceased fathers solder thing, with a brand new tip, its a "win"- the hardware guy gave me 2 tips -this afternoon for about ten bucks-but it is a mini version of the original, it seemed to get hot about 165 and rising, when I pulled the plug, I think he got it in late or middle 60's. Now I learn to sold-er.'
Bravo 👏 beautiful.
We had a TV repair shop used zep 45 as tuner and vol cont cleaner was really good .nice radio
Wow--nice old floppy disks !
Olá Glaslinger, adorei o Rádio, você o deixou semi novo adorei abraços de seu admirador Ricardo
I would love to see a video of your radio collection :-)
if your computer has problems, test it for the corona-virus, it's everywhere. :/ nice radio info. thanks.
Yea, I was surfing some chinese websites! Could have caught it! I have the computer sequestered right now just in case! I don't want to catch it myself off the computer!
I’d love to see your radio collection!
