Thanks Dave and welcome to my channel. Luckily I have dozens of non working radios still to go at so should keep you occupied well into the future. All the best Graham
Great videos these mate, quite inspiring. I'm gathering a collection of transistor radios myself for projects to work on and watching you is helpful. Keep up the good work.
Graham. Thanks very much for the kind feedback. There's loads more to come so keep watching and if there's anything specific you need to look at then just ask.
You have a good friend those radios are very nice,You are a lucky man I hope you do a video on the tube radio,also I hope you get rid of the selium recitifier.
Valve radios are easier to fault find on than transistor radios. Please dispose of the selenium rectifier and fit a diode with a series resistor. The heater supply needs to be 1.4V DC, the valves have directly heated cathodes so the radio will come on as soon as the HT and LT are applied. G1DRP
Ian. I'm really looking forward to working on the Vidor. Hopefully I will get on it this week so keep those tips coming. Looks like I need to order more caps!
A fantastic and interesting first video.as it turned out the first of many, graham .all the best andy (radio Robert)
Thanks Robert. We all have to start somewhere and hopefully my love of these old radio shone through
Really really good now a regular! Love to see fault finding and locating problems Dave

BTW I will be looking at all these radios one by one once the Roberts R600 is done
Awesome stuff! Good video sir
Thanks. I think that was my 1st video
Ah, so this is where it all began!
Yes I wasn’t overcrowded back in those days 😉
Great channel. Thumbs up and shared.
Tom
Nice one Tom and thanks. Welcome to my channel
I found your channel by you subscribing to mine. Where are you located?
I'm in South West England Tom. I found your channel while researching what SW portable to buy. Found your reviews very informative so thanks
Ok, that was my guess based on the radios on your show.
That Selena looks nice! Nice friend to send you radios! :)
He certainly sent me a lot. I restored the Selena in a later video and it looks and performs great. Thanks for watching. Graham
I am looking forward to that series! :)

Thanks Ron. The Vidor valve radio did appear in my livestream 2 weeks ago. Regards Graham
@@Radiocruncher sorry i miss it.uk radios very cool
You can still see it here Ron ua-cam.com/video/9FwBsBcm_ms/v-deo.html 1hr into the video

no need to replace the selenium rectifier 'on sight' if its ok... i have one of those vidors and it was ok
I see you have a Marconi 2955. I used to use one of those back in the late 1980s but I preferred the Schlumberger 4031.
That's a nice bit of equipment. I'm still learning how to use the Marconi but don't think it's 100%
