Sounds good I'll have to check it out. I blew up a shot of the Goodwill sticker. Looks like it paid 9.99 for the radio. That's a steal. Also looks like all the cuts are intact if you wanted send it out for restoration as well.
*That discoloration in the veneer (**24:38**) is fine.* It's a bit like Kintsugi - it can't travel from 1937 without a reminder of what it's been through.
Agreed. Also, I wonder why shortwave is no longer an option. We had a Philco console radio. The bass was amazing! One day the transformer (I think that's right) began smoking and it was gone. There was no replacement part available 😢
@@gordonadams5891 Older radios had 2 settings on the dial to turn to in case of nuclear attack for government info. Not this one, but radios and then transistor radios in the 50s-70s. When I lived in England, most all the radios had a SW band. I have one here but I can't get anything. And then there was the day in the 70s I blew up our stereo playing Zeppelin....
For someone like me that have the radio waves in the veins (I’m an amateur radio and I worked in many different radio stations), this is amazing. You level on details is something crazy, like the spot under the light. I just unhappy that you didn’t restore the radio itself. Please, send the internals to someone to put this jewelry back on line. Will be amazing to listen the shortwaves radios like VOA or Deutsche Welle. Congratulations for your work.
Mr Radio does a little something extra to his chassis. He is correct that there isn't anything worth listening to on AM so he puts in a Bluetooth adapter so that you can stream music. Just like the good old days.
I restored a Philco console floor model a few years ago, but I not only had to restore the wood, but also the electronics. The wood took about as long to do as the electronics. Fortunately, I was able to get a complete schematic on line and was able to get all new tubes as well. The capacitors were all shot, so they had to be replaced in their entirety. A lot of time, but the end result was worthwhile. I had done this for a friend, because I liked the challenge and it was such a beautiful piece of multiple veneers. It like your radio was a 1937 vintage. My friends mother had remembered it when it was new. So, I had a bit of fun. I added an RCA plug connection in the back of the chassis and plugged a small CD player into it, and with a recording of FDR's WWII, "Day of Infamy" speech played it through the radio while her mother watched and listened. She exclaimed, "How did you do that?" I told her that I had made it a time machine!
You are reading my mind! I inherited my Dads old floor model Philco Radio/Turntable Player. Its art deco and filthy. Im retired and bored as heck. For a project this summer I was thinking of removing the tube innards, cleaning them, and refinishing the wood cabinet. The wood is curly maple and its gorgeous. Or it was. You do great work. Wish me luck. 🌞👍
We used to go the electronic store and buy those tubes. We were at a loss when they stopped making the tubes. My Brother had to put all new parts inside so we could still have a radio. Miss my Brother. He passed on. Love watching you fix this radio. Thanks for the memories. God bless you.
You have such an endearing channel, with straight forward, calm narrative and no music, it's really soothing for someone like me with sensory issues. I always look forward to your "Thanks for watching" at the end of your videos.
Stubborn knobs can often be removed by using two spoons placed on opposite sides of the knob to pry it off. A trick I've used to remove knobs from electric guitars during service. 😀
I had that same radio as a kid in the 60s'. Listened to shortwave programs while doing homework. It had an auxiliary antennae which went to the ceiling. My grandnephew has that radio now. You did an awesome job in the restoration and thanks for the memories. Happy Easter .
Nicely done...I'm going back 70 years but fairly certain this same radio sat by my grandpa's chair. I remember a distinct smell as the tubes warmed up 😉
A little gem hiding underneath that old finish. Really looks awesome great job. I highly doubt anything mass produced today will even be around in 80+ years for the next generation of refinishers.
That is so cool! I spent many hours in front of one of those radios listening to stories about the old west, and murder mysteries. I never appreciated how artistic the cabinets were. I gained a lot of appreciation for what you did. Thanks.
That was beautiful. What gorgeous art deco lines. I think when doing a restoration it is important to acknowledge the piece’s life to safe, and not try to erase every flaw. I appreciate how you handled the veneer chip; respecting the past of this radio & making ‘good enough’ the damage so it’s beauty is still authentic. It will never be new, and we don’t want it that way.
Who else keeps a box with old radio parts??? The Master Dashner, of course. I'm a big fan of your work. But now this video my favorite. I have a soft spot in my heart for old radios. They bring me back so many good memories of my childhood and teenage years. I guess we do not consider radios as "furniture" now, but in the past they certainly were. They were beautiful pieces. I'm so glad you picked up this radio. It was refreshing to see something different. I enjoyed every second of it. The end result was just a work of art. As always, nicely done! 👏👏👏
I was so excited when you found the replacement logo! I used to use similar decals on model cars back in the day. I appreciate the whiteboard explanation of the process of filling the pores in the veneer. It didn’t make sense to me before the illustration. The completed project is absolutely gorgeous. If you didn’t keep it, I hope it found a good home.
I admire your skill and attention to detail. It is amazing what you are able to bring out from old wooden pieces. Watching your videos is like watching an artist; your calm and patient approach is lovely. Thank you!
Such a gorgeous job, and has been mentioned elsewhere, I would echo how much your mellifluous tones add to the overall feel of your videos - soothing, easy watching, satisfying evening watching. Love this expansion of your output as well - I would watch you restore anything with a lovely wood finish like this!
Beautiful! I continue to be so appreciative of your calm, pleasant style. No need for crazy electronic music as you showcase your process and finished project. Thanks!
Very good work. I like your restoration philosophy. Restoring old radio cabinets can be dicey. Veneer is thin and fragile, so you've got to be careful and not oversand. Matching the right color to damaged sections is also an art. Nice job.
This has to be one of the best radio wood cabinet restoration videos I have seen. I restore antique radio and the cabinet is always the hardest part of my restoration. Many thanks for posting and sharing..
It must give quite a sense of satisfaction in bringing this radio back to its former glory. You have so much respect for the history and design of each piece. Just imagine a family huddled around this old Philco listening to the news or a radio show. Magical. ✨
Was in the only one blowing on my screen when he was scraping the old finish off and creating the dust?😅. I absolutely love this. Something different and so fun to watch it come back to life!!
Rotten stone and linseed oil is what I use to polish Bakelite. I always repair veneer chips with veneer. I soak old head and footboards in the bathtub and peel the old veneer off to have a source of wood that has the same oxidation/colour level. Your method isn't entirely professional but a great start to it contrary to what Chuckkirshner crassly spewed. Nice little tabletop radio with great Art Deco design. I have restored maybe 200 floor and table radios over the years. I enjoyed your video and restoration production. Cheers from Canada
Another truly masterful restoration! You do such meticulous work; it is a pleasure to watch, and always so much to learn! Good afternoon from Indianapolis, IN!
I’ve watched many of these videos, but I’ve never seen something as beautiful as this refinished radio. And the historical aspect of this piece can’t be overlooked. Think of the family - or families - that sat and listened to radio programs for entertainment and, more importantly, for the news of the day. Think of listening to Roosevelt’s fireside chats that dealt with the Depression, the onset of WW II, etc, potentially on this very radio. This video was wonderful.
Great project as usual! And I think this is the first time I've seen your face, which was great. If you ever need vintage graphics or decals reproduced, I'd be happy to work on a project like this, free of charge.
The veneer repair looks fine. Old radios are going to have some blemishes and defects - it goes with the territory. You will never make it look like it just rolled off the showroom floor. I restore old radios and I'm fussier than most, and if I was doing this repair and it came out looking as good as you have got it I'd be very happy. Will you be going over the chassis and restoring that to working condition as well? Be good to see it running.
In case you want to add another skill to your plethora of amazing skills (thank you! I've learned so much from you!) French polishing the shellac after sanding would have filled the grain really fast. You sand the shellac with a high grade like 400 grit and without wiping the dust away, you wipe a heavily diluted shellac across the piece. You essentially use the shellac dust as the filler and the alcohol remelts it enough to bond. I did this with an antique chest of drawers and the finish came out feeling like butter.
The sheer level of patience is just phenomenal. And there's something soothing, comforting about your voice. I really like watching your videos. Thank you for the care taken in creating it.
beautiful restoration as always! i really appreciate your honesty in the process and how much time you put into not only your projects, but the documentation and explanation. i especially love the cross section diagram (and your new logo!) can't wait to see what you do next!
I had one of these i picked up at a goodwill, i love old radios... especially the smell when the tubes get warm... excellent video sir! Would love to see more old radio restos on your channel.
Lovely work. Bravo. A little tip for anyone using decals - the surface the decal is adhering to must always be glossy. If it isn't, the decal's clear carrier film will "silver" and be very visible. Hope someone finds that useful.
Soooo impressed with your work and jealous. Beautiful job. Older radios in wood are awesome works of art. I still have a Fried Eisman from the 30s that needs restoration and I'm still building up the courage to dig in. Thanks for showing what you do. You are brilliant!!!
I bought a disgustingly filthy 1939 Philco floor model 4 band radio at the flea market. So much cleaning and stripping down to bare wood. Everything inside was removed and the interior got cleaned as well. The radio chassis was striped clean and a 15 watt Fender Princeton design amp was built into it. A custom Weber 12 inch AlNiCo speaker was installed and the 75 year old on/off tone pot and volume control was retained along with the glass and stamped metal art deco and push button face plate. The unit has pride of place in the family room and I have set it up as an amp for my Boom Box radio/CD player. I call it my magic jukebox.
Beautiful! To think this was the center of some family's life during the depression and WWII. Thank you for sharing! The Negative Nancy Chuck needs prayer, he must have a really sad life.
I live in Australia and I love your voice and craft passion. Seeing your face for the first time, not what I expected. No matter your content is way cool and very relaxing.
This radio was beautifully designed the first time-the deco details on the dial ❤❤Thank Heaven you found it, and not some doofus who would have tossed it in the trash or painted it with graffiti. 😢 Great job, as always!

Agreed. Also, I wonder why shortwave is no longer an option.

I agree. I was hoping to see the radio fully functional again (at least replace all the aging capacitors).
Shortwave is dead. I can't pick up anything besides some religious nut from 100 miles away and some Spanish preacher
