29:06 Used this part of the video to converse with a telemarketer that just called me. Telemarketer: “Hello, I am calling from Senior Bennefits. How are you doing today?” Shango: “This hum is like umm…” Telemarketer: “Yes, that does sound weird.” Shango: “Is the volume not being shielded?” Telemarketer: “Uh, I am not sure” Shango: “Well the sensitivity is there. It just seems not very loud.” Telemarketer: “What are you talking about, sir?” Shango: “It may need an IF allingnment.” beep beep beep (End of call) 😆
If your friend decides not to rent out the place, he should get a utility in his name and have it mailed to that address with his name on it. That way, if some squatter comes around, he can claim residency.
I was an auto tech for about 44years . I was around when computer controls like lean burn were coming in . There was an 80's Buick with a 3.8 . They would get valve train noise . It would trigger knock sensor . It read it as spark knock . It begins to back off timing to the point you could tell it. Customer has no money , like always. The bandaid was , move the knock sensor to the firewall . No more knock issue . LOL
Great Saturday morning with Shango love the comparison of the radios and taking the time to go out in the wilderness to demonstrate how well they function. Many thanks Mike
Nice one Dan, keep it up mate 👍. I was truly impressed with the video on the Crossley set...Good scary looking radio, was once a prized posession of someone's.
As a landlord, I also have a trick to keep people away from my houses, I put a mannequin with a gun in its hand in it 😁 (as a modern type of scarecrow)
1. LA is not a city. It is a Sprawl. 2. Leave a property vacant for 10 minutes and the squatters move in. Ur Not allowed to get rid of them. Especially in LA. 3. I would never leave a vintage tube electronic device unattended. Regardless. If you want noise, use a Chinesium IC thing works just as well. Put it on a time. More power efficient anyway. 4. If U got a rod knock, U got a REALLY big problem. Or a REALLY hot babe.
It was something few only noticed when tube era radios were spared with "modern & transistor" ones. I noticed it in 70ties because my tube radio was still perfect when I decided to give a check newer technology. I did not like to abandon tubes Now I have two transistor SW radios with SSB - both in excellent condition from 80 ties and two tube radios - one SW HAM with SSB 1959 (9 tubes) and one without SSB 1939 ( 4 tubes). And I listen only to those tube ones which are little different in sensitivity have lovely sounding (1939) . and are more friendly to use.
Just imagine driving out in the arizona desert and coming across some crazy guy with blue surgercal gloves on, twiddling with knobs on old radio's like he's trying to summon aliens, very strange!!
Love your sense of humour - I'm lucky if I understand about a third of the technical talk but I find your videos fascinating, relaxing and a good laugh. Looking inside old TV's reminds be of being about 7 when my 10 year old friend promised me that if we could bust open the transformer we would probably find it full of BALL BEARINGS - and ball bearings were like gold to us kids so we wasted all Saturday afternoon hammering and chiselling and everything except undoing the nuts underneath I guess - and we were so disappointed there wasn't a single ball bearing, just stacks of "letter E's" as we called them after wrecking a few more old TV's, radios and so on. I had my doubts all along as I was slowly learning that just because someone's older doesn;t mean they know what they're talking about - after all, he was the one who promised me we could play using sharpened lengths of angle iron (old fence posts) and if I sat in this old car seat while he threw it at the back of the seat, the seat would stop it - call me cynical but I was worried the seat wouldn;t stop it so I asked him to test it first and of course the "spear" sailed right through it and he couldn;t apologise enough after promising me I was being over cautious - cause we all know how solid car seats are lol. I think I was more worried he might miss and get me in the head. Oh the joys of playing on rubbish tips in the 60's.
I would love to see Shango take one of the three models of the GE portable Superadios made back in the late 1980's and early 1990's, out to test in the desert, sensitivity wise those AM-FM radios are extremely good. Probably out performs almost all other radios.
I've watched your videos for years but finally something I can comment on, as a mechanic who frequently changes those Hyundai GDi motors for my company DO NOT change that motor, junk the car and get something older. The Theta II (and similar) series of engines used in those Hyundai (and Kias) are very prone to lower end bearing knock due to the bearings being too thin and the dealer oil change intervals being too long on such a thin weight of oil so it just mulches the bearings. Just junk it and move on, EVERY single used engine I've ever put in fails again in a year and even the NEW short blocks we've gotten from Hyundai (if you can even get one) cost $6k+ and all display symptoms of the same issue a few years later. Go get a 1994-2009 Toyota product and never look back
From never having torn one apart but watching teard-owns and reading about the subject here is my understanding: The knock isn't necessarily the rod bearings. It seems the design was to use very short skirt pistons and low tension rings with some pretty skimpy connecting rods. The knock is purportedly the pistons rocking in the bores. It seems like this fatigues the small end of the rod which breaks an is sent through the block.
In a prior life, I interned with a professional gun smith, part of my training/duties was to checker stocks when a new one had been put on an old rifle. My mentor taught me that the way to tell if checkering was hand cut and not cut by a robot, was that there would be at least one mistake visible in the finished product. He was very right, I have used that check on many rifles at many gun shows and it has always been a good test of quality of work by the smith who mounted the rifle in the stock.
I got the rod knock ECU update on my Hyundai. 2 days later, the car entered limp mode 100 miles from the nearest tow truck. Decided to limp along. Made it 10 miles before the engine grenaded itself.
Shango, No matter what speed you at you always sound good & you rock with your videos. Next time you go to Arizona scan Shortwave there & see if you can pick up 5050 & 9455 kHz WRMI Legends from Lake Okeechobee, Florida as they play great music & also do requests. Happy Memorial Day weekend! -73's
I just discovered that station, but unfortunately my reception is usually noisy. Maybe my radio needs to be aligned, or maybe I shouldn't run my antenna wire directly over the power line.
We definitely need a rough old set (B&W) for the debates. That one looks ok, but not as rough as that moldy rotten wooden one you resurrected like a year ago, that one would be perfect to freshen up for the debates if you still have it. Edit: the Philco 48
Yikes ! That IS a scary radio. I like the "red dial light" Idea. A Red Sharpie does a nice job with those old #47 bulbs. You could sell that as a movie prop if there were any movies worth watching anymore.
I saw the video he mentions in two or three parts. Usually, I'll watch while I eat lunch, then go do stuff around the house, mow the lawn. Come back to it in the evening. I can't watch on 1.5x speed or anything. I might miss a kwerko trinkulation.
Shall we call you Shango Newbomb? There are guys on UA-cam who make their own FM, AM, SSB radios but....I've never seen anyone who has made their own working CRT television. There is one guy on UA-cam who made his own transistors and IC at home, it took 10 years AND much donated equipment from Intel
Awesome video! Looked like Shango was 'punching the clown' at 8:07 and 16:45. I remember back in the 60's, there was *NO* FM out in the middle of the desert. (Sahuaro [cactus] is pronounced sa - werr - o.) 18:50, jumping cactus is even *more* dangerous, and *WATCH OUT* for those *Gila monsters* after sunset - they can sneak up on you and attack!
The tubes flashing at power on comes from the construction of the filaments, new ones (especially from JJ Electronic) don't have that problem and become bright in 10 seconds but in a very uniform way.
Clip one lead of all the paper capacitors and disconnect the b+ filter section going to the IF and converter and replace the grid coupling on the audio output and put in a red light and listen to all the screeching ghosts. I guarantee nobody will go in that room. Put a timer on it to turn on about every 15 minutes as it warms up it wakes up the posession and comes to life with all sorts of varying screeching untill it get fully warmed up 🤣. I'm serious I wouldn't fix it as a radio 😁 it is scary looking and like from graveyard condition 😄
Beats International - Dub be good to me (Original song by SOS Band, bassline nicked from The Clash - The guns of Brixton, and spiced up with the harmonica riff from the movie Once upon a time in the West).
Can having multiple radios, next to each other, tuned to the same station, improve their performance due to IF crosstalk/injection or do you have to run a wire from one close to another for that to happen? Or am I just making this up?
Ah yes, Pets by Porno for Pyros. When that song was new I quoted it for a highschool assignment. "will there be another race to come and take over for us maybe martians could do better we're like children". The teacher did like that.
That black chip in the radio cabinet could easily be repaired using some JD Weld. It hardens into a perfect solid black which will work nice with polyethylene or bakelite.
@3:00 - watching on a PC - If you click and hold the mouse button on the video, it will speed up to 2x while you're holding the button. It amazes me how many videos are completely watchable at 2x. Now, if you try something like that with that EEVBlog guy, it sounds like listening to the chipmunks at double speed. Your videos are completely watchable at 2x. I read at 2x speed too. Always have.
My landlord in the UK have decided to leave the market for the same reason, it has become too restrictive for property owners to risk renting. So pro tenant legislation is causing rent price hiking and reduction of available rentals. What a wonderful world.
6AL5's are a dime a dozen, 6H6's not so much. So, an adapter makes sense (cents?). Most 6.3v tubes were NOT made with a controlled warm up time for their heaters. Tubes with 12.6 volt heaters (and above) usually were. Also some of the tubes with 450ma or 600ma heaters were made in versions that were (usually with a A or B suffix in the type number) These tubes were intended for series heater strings in radios and TV sets. In very early transformerless sets there was a large enough ballast resister in series with the heaters to limit the inrush current, so not having controlled heater warmup time tubes wasn't as big an issue. This set seems to fall in the middle, it has enough tubes that the heater ballast resistor probably isn't large enough to absorb enough of the inrush current, and some of the tubes won't last as long as they should. Aligning an AM radio to the wrong IF frequency will make no difference in the sensitivity of the set (assuming the IF will peak at the wrong frequency). It might make a difference in the bandwidth of the IF, and WILL make a difference in the dial calibration and tracking accuracy.
At least the Self E.O.L. Vehicle doesn't blow itself apart with explosives when the time comes. Does the can of the Volume Control Potentiometer on that tatty Crosley Radio want grounding Shango? I guess it's more spooky with background buzz though.
Shango you don't talk slowly you consider what you are going to say which is more than the hypo gen Z who regurgitate inaccurate BS.... Best from UK. .
Get a bottle of the old fashioned STP motor honey made for engines that had worn out main and or rod bearings to fill the gap. Either that or go to some heavy viscosity oil which will do the same thing reducing rod knock. I wonder if one would have to clear the error code to get the ECU out of limp mode. Give it a try if you have this problem. You've got nothing to lose.
Based on the dashboard that car is not older than 8-15 years, I wonder how old it really is with how many miles in it, and how much work and money would take to rebuild or replace the engine in it. I also wonder if the higher viscosity oil while maybe temporarily solving the bearing issues would completely ruin the engine what otherwise could have been rebuilt. These are genuine questions as I have no idea about cars and engines. I never had a car or even a motorbike, even my lawnmower and chainsaw are electric 😂 . The public transportation where I live is quite good, I work close to my home, I'm fine with riding the bus or my bicycle. I have a license, I might get a car at some point for occasional use (once per week or two weeks for shopping), but for the daily ride to work I'll stick to the bus, because I can only afford a 15-30 yo car, and daily driving that to work would result in too frequent and too expensive repairs.
Love your videos Dan at normal speed. Tried at faster speeds & it reminds me of Joe Pesci or some 1980s TV cop show & rather watch the video in stages over a few days & so many small details happen that there so much better at 1x speed, so please don't speed up your natural voice as you sound cool af like Ronnie from "Joes Classic Video Games", plus it makes me think I'm on Santa Monica beach chilling out & kicking back instead of stressing at work. After a long day at work, I find your chill "California drawl" voice very pleasing to listen to & learn so much from your approach. Please don't change Shango, or dare I say it become like Newsom. Always be brand "you"!
Friend of mine's Kia was clapped out at 55K. Major blowby like the rings were totally gone or the cylinders were all reemed out. Next, his AC compressor grenaded itself.
@chad2787 My 2017 Elantra I bought new, has 127.000 miles on it. It has been amazingly reliable. It has had 0 repairs, and has no issues. Fully loaded with tech, everything works like new. The engine runs fine, is very quiet, uses no oil. AC has never been touched either, still blows very cold. 3000 mile oil changes Castrol GTX 10 30. Only things changed on the car is 1 battery, 1set of new brake pads, new tires, and windshield wipper blades. She's been a real TROOPER. My 2 previous kias were also very good and reliable.
”14 cylinder radios” This made my day!!!
heavy duty!
29:06 Used this part of the video to converse with a telemarketer that just called me.
Telemarketer: “Hello, I am calling from Senior Bennefits. How are you doing today?”
Shango: “This hum is like umm…”
Telemarketer: “Yes, that does sound weird.”
Shango: “Is the volume not being shielded?”
Telemarketer: “Uh, I am not sure”
Shango: “Well the sensitivity is there. It just seems not very loud.”
Telemarketer: “What are you talking about, sir?”
Shango: “It may need an IF allingnment.”
beep beep beep (End of call)
😆
'Presents as elderly' is going on my profile.
I had to read that a couple of times - I thought it said "president is elderly"!!
Can I presents as a 18 year old instead
What’s worse than a girl guide in your bed.
A brownie.
Get discounts that way.
Those old tube radios have perfect sound.
If your friend decides not to rent out the place, he should get a utility in his name and have it mailed to that address with his name on it. That way, if some squatter comes around, he can claim residency.
Love the variety of electronics repair!
I haven’t had this much fun on Saturday mornings since
Mr Wizard!
I was an auto tech for about 44years . I was around when computer controls like lean burn were coming in . There was an 80's Buick with a 3.8 . They would get valve train noise .

Very interesting. Hope you have a great memorial day weekend.
Music instructors teach "every good boy deserves fudge", but electronic instructors teach that "every good technician deserves a GREENIE". 47:10
Moody Blues teaches Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. I will (and have) go with them.
Great Saturday morning with Shango love the comparison of the radios and taking the time to go out in the wilderness to demonstrate how well they function. Many thanks Mike
This is sooooo interesting. What a find. Love this type of stuff. Global reach.....yup, I'm from the UK.
Nice one Dan, keep it up mate 👍. I was truly impressed with the video on the Crossley set...Good scary looking radio, was once a prized posession of someone's.
That hallicrafters is a really cool unit. I’m not even particularly a “tv” guy but even I can appreciate what that is
Really impressive variety of content on this video. Nice stuff ..
103000 miles and out of warranty, gotta love it.
I would never been aware of that "make great pets" track that just happened to be playing, thanks for referencing it 😃
That little radio cabinet looks like a robot’s face that has malfunctioned, maybe like the Zathura movie robot. 😂🤣
Shango and Car Talk. I'm here for it!
I would like to add. That old radio look like a old rusty beat up Cylone from the 1977 SYFI show Battelstar Glacticka.
Your voice sounds sarcastic all the time. Love it. Unfortunately that sarcasm effect goes away by playing it at X2.
As a landlord, I also have a trick to keep people away from my houses, I put a mannequin with a gun in its hand in it 😁 (as a modern type of scarecrow)
Debate EOL????
1. LA is not a city. It is a Sprawl.
2. Leave a property vacant for 10 minutes and the squatters move in. Ur Not allowed to get rid of them. Especially in LA.
3. I would never leave a vintage tube electronic device unattended. Regardless. If you want noise, use a Chinesium IC thing works just as well. Put it on a time. More power efficient anyway.
4. If U got a rod knock, U got a REALLY big problem. Or a REALLY hot babe.
Appreciate all the videos you do
Electronic inspiration and music inspiration both happening this morning.

Ooh.... A melted bakelite Cylon! - Enough to give anyone the heebie-jeebies.......

I would definitely search for meteorites over there.
The perfect location!
I always watch at either 1.75 or 2X speed. I'm only 5 mins in but cant wait for the rest of the video. Thanks Dan!
that Zenith kicking ass without remorse...oh boy.
Neato, as always! Thanks for all you do,
If you could locate, an RCA model floor Tv, about 1966 vintage...Would be real cool, Shango!
Very cool. The GOLDON HOUR APPROACHATH...
Thank you for your upload.
About that old Crosley radio. As the Cylons ( Battlestar Galactica TV show) would say, "By your command."
Foarte imteresant si foarte instructiv urmaresc cu placere aceste tutoriale multumesc Dn Shango066
I've watched your videos for years but finally something I can comment on, as a mechanic who frequently changes those Hyundai GDi motors for my company DO NOT change that motor, junk the car and get something older. The Theta II (and similar) series of engines used in those Hyundai (and Kias) are very prone to lower end bearing knock due to the bearings being too thin and the dealer oil change intervals being too long on such a thin weight of oil so it just mulches the bearings.

In 2024 Toyota is still good. So is the Honda Civic.
In a prior life, I interned with a professional gun smith, part of my training/duties was to checker stocks when a new one had been put on an old rifle.

I enjoy these visits to the desert with the radios. Very cool!
trippy bakelite futuristic cabinet
I want one of those tip-flop radios! 😂 Being that I’m only about a mile from the San Andreas fault, I should probably be careful what I wish for…
I have a Toshiba like yours. All original parts and its a white hot barn burner!
I got the rod knock ECU update on my Hyundai. 2 days later, the car entered limp mode 100 miles from the nearest tow truck. Decided to limp along. Made it 10 miles before the engine grenaded itself.
Desert radio DX tests are awesome. 👍 Cool to see an old revisit too.
Shango, No matter what speed you at you always sound good & you rock with your videos. Next time you go to Arizona scan Shortwave there & see if you can pick up 5050 & 9455 kHz WRMI Legends from Lake Okeechobee, Florida as they play great music & also do requests. Happy Memorial Day weekend! -73's
I just discovered that station, but unfortunately my reception is usually noisy. Maybe my radio needs to be aligned, or maybe I shouldn't run my antenna wire directly over the power line.
@@eDoc2020 Well it will cause interference but depends on conditions also..
We definitely need a rough old set (B&W) for the debates. That one looks ok, but not as rough as that moldy rotten wooden one you resurrected like a year ago, that one would be perfect to freshen up for the debates if you still have it.
Edit: the Philco 48
Btw I love the desert radio tests. Those cacti are tall!
Always waiting in anticipation of hearing the Test Lady.
Greetings from Morecambe, England.
Complimenti
"Change is, often desirable, frequently necessary, and always inevitable"!
Great vid! A 1948 valve/tube set with FM up to 108MHzz!
At min.7:48 that switching on sound is incredible good!...thx for the vid.
It's cool to think that the Crosley building where they manufactured their products was designed to look like a radio , somewhere in Ohio I think .
X-2 just like playing a 33- 1/3 RPM. record at 45 RPM. speed, and you have shango066 the Chipmunk. LOL
Yikes ! That IS a scary radio. I like the "red dial light" Idea. A Red Sharpie does a nice job with those old #47 bulbs. You could sell that as a movie prop if there were any movies worth watching anymore.

Shall we call you Shango Newbomb?
There are guys on UA-cam who make their own FM, AM, SSB radios but....I've never seen anyone who has made their own working CRT television.
There is one guy on UA-cam who made his own transistors and IC at home, it took 10 years AND much donated equipment from Intel
Hyundai replaced my engine on a knock sensor code. Thanks shango for mentioning this.
I have an urge to rig an old radio with haunted effects. Tunes its self and plays creepy clips. 🤔
Awesome video! Looked like Shango was 'punching the clown' at 8:07 and 16:45. I remember back in the 60's, there was *NO* FM out in the middle of the desert. (Sahuaro [cactus] is pronounced sa - werr - o.) 18:50, jumping cactus is even *more* dangerous, and *WATCH OUT* for those *Gila monsters* after sunset - they can sneak up on you and attack!
The tubes flashing at power on comes from the construction of the filaments, new ones (especially from JJ Electronic) don't have that problem and become bright in 10 seconds but in a very uniform way.
That Crosley certainly has seen better days, looking all melted like that.
That Bakelite radio looks, *baked!*
Clip one lead of all the paper capacitors and disconnect the b+ filter section going to the IF and converter and replace the grid coupling on the audio output and put in a red light and listen to all the screeching ghosts. I guarantee nobody will go in that room. Put a timer on it to turn on about every 15 minutes as it warms up it wakes up the posession and comes to life with all sorts of varying screeching untill it get fully warmed up 🤣. I'm serious I wouldn't fix it as a radio 😁 it is scary looking and like from graveyard condition 😄
I wonder how well that zenith would work in a cave
Some CM / Sanyos had a real RF stage & 3 IF's. They were quite hot when re capped.
LFOD !
I dont present my elderly but I sure am tired like one
oH, we need updates on the Melt-o'-Tronic.. please!
happy time
Shango announces "It's mis-aligned" while News Gringrich is talking. MYOJ. Hope owner has fire insurance.
It feels so weird hearing Porno for Pyros on a 40s radio. 😳
I recently picked up a Zenith Royal 750 for $20. You aught to get one, it's a kickass little radio!
He probably has 12 of them 😂
Beats International - Dub be good to me (Original song by SOS Band, bassline nicked from The Clash - The guns of Brixton, and spiced up with the harmonica riff from the movie Once upon a time in the West).

Hard to believe the hillary debates were 8 years ago. Looking forward to it. Can we watch it in color?
👍🆒📻📻📻📻 fantastic videos
Playback speed is on mobile as well
What's powering that zenith radio batteries or generator
Where in the Arizona desert are you doing this? Looks like the southern area near Tucson
Anyone know what model that Transoceanic is?
Don't You Have any Sony Trinitron To Fixx..Man..I like The 2.5 hr long video You made way back when..
My landlord in the UK have decided to leave the market for the same reason, it has become too restrictive for property owners to risk renting. So pro tenant legislation is causing rent price hiking and reduction of available rentals. What a wonderful world.
6AL5's are a dime a dozen, 6H6's not so much. So, an adapter makes sense (cents?).
Most 6.3v tubes were NOT made with a controlled warm up time for their heaters. Tubes with 12.6 volt heaters (and above) usually were. Also some of the tubes with 450ma or 600ma heaters were made in versions that were (usually with a A or B suffix in the type number) These tubes were intended for series heater strings in radios and TV sets.

I would name it the Darth Vader radio... sort of looks like his mask
SOS Band had quite a few good songs. The 2 you mentioned plus borrowed love
55:10 It's a Cylon! BY YOUR COMMAND
At least the Self E.O.L. Vehicle doesn't blow itself apart with explosives when the time comes.
Does the can of the Volume Control Potentiometer on that tatty Crosley Radio want grounding Shango?
I guess it's more spooky with background buzz though.
Shango you don't talk slowly you consider what you are going to say which is more than the hypo gen Z who regurgitate inaccurate BS.... Best from UK. .
Get a bottle of the old fashioned STP motor honey made for engines that had worn out main and or rod bearings to fill the gap. Either that or go to some heavy viscosity oil which will do the same thing reducing rod knock.
I wonder if one would have to clear the error code to get the ECU out of limp mode.
Give it a try if you have this problem. You've got nothing to lose.
Based on the dashboard that car is not older than 8-15 years, I wonder how old it really is with how many miles in it, and how much work and money would take to rebuild or replace the engine in it. I also wonder if the higher viscosity oil while maybe temporarily solving the bearing issues would completely ruin the engine what otherwise could have been rebuilt. These are genuine questions as I have no idea about cars and engines. I never had a car or even a motorbike, even my lawnmower and chainsaw are electric 😂 .
The public transportation where I live is quite good, I work close to my home, I'm fine with riding the bus or my bicycle. I have a license, I might get a car at some point for occasional use (once per week or two weeks for shopping), but for the daily ride to work I'll stick to the bus, because I can only afford a 15-30 yo car, and daily driving that to work would result in too frequent and too expensive repairs.
Kia hundyi very interesting time for a new engine 😮.
Love your videos Dan at normal speed.
Tried at faster speeds & it reminds me of Joe Pesci or some 1980s TV cop show & rather watch the video in stages over a few days & so many small details happen that there so much better at 1x speed, so please don't speed up your natural voice as you sound cool af like Ronnie from "Joes Classic Video Games", plus it makes me think I'm on Santa Monica beach chilling out & kicking back instead of stressing at work.
After a long day at work, I find your chill "California drawl" voice very pleasing to listen to & learn so much from your approach.
Please don't change Shango, or dare I say it become like Newsom. Always be brand "you"!
Yeah we got people in government that predate radio and a good part of the country didn't even have electric yet.
Engine is baked at 109000 miles… nothing but the best
Friend of mine's Kia was clapped out at 55K. Major blowby like the rings were totally gone or the cylinders were all reemed out. Next, his AC compressor grenaded itself.
@chad2787 My 2017 Elantra I bought new, has 127.000 miles on it. It has been amazingly reliable. It has had 0 repairs, and has no issues. Fully loaded with tech, everything works like new. The engine runs fine, is very quiet, uses no oil. AC has never been touched either, still blows very cold. 3000 mile oil changes Castrol GTX 10 30. Only things changed on the car is 1 battery, 1set of new brake pads, new tires, and windshield wipper blades. She's been a real TROOPER. My 2 previous kias were also very good and reliable.
