Surprising that door pop open doors haven't broken off the hinges, they seem to fly open with a whack. Great recap.(Audio from your camera is better). Cool clock radio.
Come for the know-how, stay for the cynicism. I think I've been watching these oldies for about a month now and have been into other channels on electronics revamps, mostly guitar amps, but mostly these people work on equipment that's worth hundreds, sometimes thousands of bucks... That told, I much more enjoy watching old $50-tops radios and TV's being revived with a part here and a tweak there on the bare minimum of expense, usually, but with all of the quality learning time spent to make me feel like even I could become Dr. Frankenstein someday too. *IT'S ALIVE!!*
The long red wire is to hook the "wave magnet" antenna to and the suction cup thingy is to stick it to the window of a train to hang the antenna to. On long train rides, one could use the radio on battery and get better reception through the window free from the interference of the train body without having to put the actual radio next to the window for convenience..
OMG. I was given one of those radios when I was a teenager. I remember connecting a bunch of 9 volt batteries in series, along with a bunch of D cells to make up the required battery pack. The set was missing the popup antenna, so I used an old loop antenna (the kind without the ferrite rod) salvaged from a dead AA5 set. It was a nice 'portable' radio, though 'luggable' would have been the more correct term. Very sensitive, a nice DX radio! And the sound was fantastic. The handle on mine was in better shape. The antenna should pop up when the doors open. It was spring loaded. I guess that radio was missing the springs. BTW, the tube complement is similar to the early TO's.
I cannot for the life of me recall which youtube radio restorer it was, but I think it was in an atwater kent restoration. Anyway he blamed some failing transformers with small wire in tube gear on simply the method they used to wind them causing work hardening in the copper wire itself at pinch points which eventually with enough vibration would sheer and cause an open. During the video he actually unwound the transformer in question, which did not have burn marks, but rather broken pieces of wire, where it almost looked like the wire shrank and broke. Still it seemed well founded to me at the time. On another note, you were obviously dead on about the antenna needing to be out, as when you found the more original zenith it had a pop up antenna. It would have been funny to accidentally put something on the top of that radio, go to turn it on, and pop goes the weasel! (That mechanism had quite some force behind it! The novelty had to be telling your friends how to turn the radio on, and watching them jump back 3 feet while having a heart attack!
That had a happy ending for the customer, I'm sure he'll be pleased with the end result. I've replaced many an output transformer, and the failure mode is not always obvious---I've long suspected that maybe a momentary voltage spike took them out, possibly upon startup.
Pull the clock rotor in that clock radio and heat it up (a 75-100 watt light bulb works well) and clean any oil that bubbles out from around gear shaft. While the rotor cools down, feed it some light oil around the gear shaft, continue the heat-cool cycle until it stops sucking in oil. I have an old 30s/40s Telechron wall clock out in the garage, it starts to slow down when the temperature falls below 10°F (that's when I usually unplug it until spring). It's a used and abused old clock, yet it keeps perfect time throughout the rest of the year.
on those old clock motors with the little "tophat" part with the rotor and gear train, you can usually get them open and clean/reoil them and it will work for another 30 years. They seal it with a glue and it can be gently squeezed with pliers to break the glue and then it just opens up.
+shango066 - I've been watching your videos, and been subscribed, for over a year now - and without fail you keep coming up with stuff that is interesting, educational and put across really well. Thank you for putting up with all the crap that seems to come with UA-cam nowadays (copyright strikes, trolls galore, and thieving gits re-posting your content being just a fraction) - I know I am not alone in looking forward to seeing that alert to the next new vid.
FotoschoPro Sorry I agree with Sam on this one. As I've said before, if you don't like Shango066's style or attitude of his videos..... simply don't watch them!
We used to call those theater of the mind radio's. I recall one of our neighbors had one, the doors were like the curtain opening at the movie theater, and back then we had all those radio programs, Lone Ranger, Cisco Kid, Superman, Suspicion, Dragnet, Ma Perkins, Abbot and Costello, Lum and Abner, and mom had all her soaps that she had playing when dad was in the field or out caring for the cows, working on farm equipment and that sort of thing.
Hey! Shanghai I am watching your Videos with Great pleasure here in Germany Black Forest which was knewn as a Center of Production of Radio devices e.g. SABA.There were lots of others here in Germany such as Grundig or Mende... Thank you very much for your Videos,you Show us in an impressive way how it was tô repair this old devices, Observe,hear and smell and of course using the Skills of an Radio Engineer, Great! God Bless You and continue in the Same way... Greetings from Freiburg,Germany Peter
Ola boa tarde eu ja asistir muitos vídeo seu reparabdo radio por que eu amo radio antigo disculpe estou no brasil não intendo nada de inglês mas me sinto bem asistindo seus vídeo.
The caps will stay formed to whatever voltage is applied to them. There's no harm in overrating the voltage, sometimes it's even better, as the physically larger caps have a proportionately larger ripple current rating, which is good in places like the first filter cap after the rectifier and any switchmode supplies.
Zenith post WWII sets are famous for deteriorated rubber wires. I had to do a complete rewire job on my 1946 console. Definitely worth it as it has wonderful tone and has both FM bands, the Armstrong 42.5-48.5Mhz and the "new" 88-108Mhz.
Your stuff is way grate! If you make an occasional mistake all is good. You do such a great job. I learn so much from you. Just the fact that you admit you made a mistake is way cool!
Beautiful cabinet I think. Love that pop goes the weasle bird house movement toward the end of the 50s. They were inventing a new plastic almost every day back then, and this material was ideal in the neo pollock era and is a perfect implementation of post cubo futurist pop goes the weasle bird house American regionalist art.
From the first Seconds of the Video I have learned something important. That might explain why some of my re-Caped Radios don't work. Thank You very much! Some of the Capacitors I used are over 1000V. But not becouse I chose them, we didn't have any different at Work.
I have a radio it took me awhile to repair, I had the same thing a bad output transformer, and of course I recapped it first and nothing worked :) It took me awhile to figure out the output transformer was dead but once i ohm'd it it was obvious. I'm still learning!
I like this one, it reminds me of the trans oceanics. Very gimmicky! The accessories are for an external antenna. The wire plugs into the antenna plug where the cabinet antenna wire goes, and then the other side plugs into the antenna. The suction cups hold it onto a wall
That metal plate in the back with the suction cups that was loose is for attaching the loop antenna in a car or house window. a friend of mine had a different wave magnet radio with the manual inside and i was surprised to see that feature.
No matter how you look at it, this was a nice save. I've only ever seen one of these, and it, too, was not a 'prime specimen'. The handles seem to always take a hit, however, the 'barn doors' open without assistance on this radio, which the other would not do.
Camera was much better, the microphone built into your phone peaks a lot because you're either a lot louder than I recall you being or your mic is too sensitive.
Regarding voltage rating on caps. Blah, blah..in over 40 years blah blah..and all that preamble I have never had a sniff of an issue with overrated caps - many, many more at 20% ish safety margin pop regularly as we know - never had a return / complaint / failure from over rated component. I think this is a non issue. Love your vids though as usual ))
Bracket with suction cups is to put the Wavemagnet antenna onto a window. Like the cups that came with tube Transoceanics, rubber has likely long since dried up.
I googled Zenith 6G801 and it came off the assembly line in 1948-49. I've heard that if an audio output transformer is open, you could bypass the open section with a resistor with the proper value to the center tap to solve the problem.
It looks like you can remove the rear apron of the chassis to gain easier access to the tube socket terminals, and other under chassis parts, that's a useful feature.
I have one of those except the one I picked up has missing metal bracket and a couple other parts for the door to open. The radio works and the handle looks like new.
My understanding of the Loctel tubes is that they were designed for rough duty, such as military, or car radios, where the unit takes a beating and the tubes stay in the socket.
There were all sorts of radios out there in the day. I kind of like that gimmicky push button fly open power on thing. The clock radio was cool with the day/date feature on it.
17:30 One thing to make the doors pop open when you turn it on and to make closing the doors turn it off, but to make the doors the only way to turn it on and off is just silly. Nice collector's item, but it would have been a pain to live with that, though just unplugging it would probably make it bearable. It is amazing it's held up this long.
All the tubes are locktals except the audio output which was octal, why was 3lf4 not used in Zenith radios? 3Q5 used instead. The Zenith Transoceanic used two 1LB4 in a push-pull over kill amplifier instead of a 3 volt tube requiring an additional one volt battery to the power supply. There must have been a boat load of 1LB4's made by Zenith!
I just found a bunch of QST magazines from the 30s - lots of talk about early televisions in addition to radios/etc - are those something you would want to read?
Greetings: AVC: I Noticed that you are constantly adjusting ,(reducing) the volume as you encounter strong station signals and as AVC is similar to AGC in that volume level is reduced as signal strength increases; can the resistor or other circuit values be changed to closer track volume level to signal level?
I use tea bag papers and Alieene sticky glue with a paint brush ,cut a piece of tea bag lapped add a couple of drops of water ,paint the tea bag paper in with the Aleenes sticky glue then paint the whole speaker with that glue I did some mess up speaker doing this and now they sound great after that I learn to keep in a supply of 4" 8 ohm speaker on hand .
i wish that kind of stuff would follow me home! very nice lil radio clock also ooooooh eeeeeee that things it hurts my ears but dam it sounds so weird!
One maker--not sure I remember which; could be Sprague--rated their electrolytics at 0-whatever working voltage, indicating they will properly form regardless of how much the repair personnel may exercise overkill in the WV ratings department. When I was doing this work for a living I generally tried not to go much over 200%. Spot on to perhaps 50% over was the general rule.
Those Zeniths are pretty dense--lotta caps as compared to other brands of the same genre. The resulting performance of the set reflected this extra detail in the circuit design. So, unfortunately, did the price. Zenith sets cost an arm and a leg typically.
Audio op transformers for these radios - atleast 10K primary = thin wire maybe breaking due to corrosion at the joints - find the joint to the lead in wire and resolder it. cause of corrosion seems to be acid flux residue
That zenith looks like a combination of something from sharper image (minus the proximity sensor) and one of those overly mechanical pencil boxes with buttons they used to have in the late 80's - early 90's. Very weird power control.
I am a little older, than you, I have Good Memorys of Locktel Tubes as my Elmers were ww2 navy engineers and Locktels were Instrumental in Submarines, Airoplanes, Ships at Seas Communication Radios & in he B-52 and B-54 Rear Turrent Firing Computer, a Tube Based "Computer" that controll the Guns.

"The Quality Goes In Before The Name Goes On"
Love them old Zenith radios
Another brilliant Shango066 video... Thank you Sir
Surprising that door pop open doors haven't broken off the hinges, they seem to fly open with a whack. Great recap.(Audio from your camera is better). Cool clock radio.
Come for the know-how, stay for the cynicism. I think I've been watching these oldies for about a month now and have been into other channels on electronics revamps, mostly guitar amps, but mostly these people work on equipment that's worth hundreds, sometimes thousands of bucks... That told, I much more enjoy watching old $50-tops radios and TV's being revived with a part here and a tweak there on the bare minimum of expense, usually, but with all of the quality learning time spent to make me feel like even I could become Dr. Frankenstein someday too. *IT'S ALIVE!!*
seeing that clock come back to life filled my heart with joy.
The long red wire is to hook the "wave magnet" antenna to and the suction cup thingy is to stick it to the window of a train to hang the antenna to.

The antenna should pop up when the doors open. It was spring loaded. I guess that radio was missing the springs. BTW, the tube complement is similar to the early TO's.
That design is an answer to the old description of radio drama's "Theater of the mind!"
Love that dial/grille on the Zenith, classic design work
I cannot for the life of me recall which youtube radio restorer it was, but I think it was in an atwater kent restoration. Anyway he blamed some failing transformers with small wire in tube gear on simply the method they used to wind them causing work hardening in the copper wire itself at pinch points which eventually with enough vibration would sheer and cause an open. During the video he actually unwound the transformer in question, which did not have burn marks, but rather broken pieces of wire, where it almost looked like the wire shrank and broke. Still it seemed well founded to me at the time.
On another note, you were obviously dead on about the antenna needing to be out, as when you found the more original zenith it had a pop up antenna. It would have been funny to accidentally put something on the top of that radio, go to turn it on, and pop goes the weasel! (That mechanism had quite some force behind it! The novelty had to be telling your friends how to turn the radio on, and watching them jump back 3 feet while having a heart attack!
I have videos on here of IF transformers that look like the wire shrank and it looks like something ate the coils. There is something too that..
That had a happy ending for the customer, I'm sure he'll be pleased with the end result. I've replaced many an output transformer, and the failure mode is not always obvious---I've long suspected that maybe a momentary voltage spike took them out, possibly upon startup.

Thanks Shango! i look forward to more....even if its just re-capping.
Hey I live in Natick! So cool to hear my town mentioned!

Where can we pick up our genuine green shango radio repair fleece?
2 second diagnosis and repair of touching plates on the tuning capacitor. 👍👍👍

Excellent information . Now when I recap my Zenith TO from 1960 I will do one cap at a time.
The phone video quality is fine, but there is way too much gain in the audio.
I guess Im quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@Stefan Ronnie i watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
Hey! Shanghai

90% of what you are doing and talking about goes right over my head...But I cant look away! LOL Love your videos.
Very amazing! That speaker looks similar to a car speaker, but apparently not as the other radio had the same look to it. :)
That metal plate in the back with the suction cups that was loose is for attaching the loop antenna in a car or house window. a friend of mine had a different wave magnet radio with the manual inside and i was surprised to see that feature.

Lookie Mom, a 5-tube pop-pop oscillator! :)
17:47 Yup... it's definitely cool...extra gadgetry... that's fun.. RF amp, too :-)
... and the second one, all it's gadgetry popped tall..lol... that's neat... and, very cool of you to pass it on to the guy.. good job, bro
Great radio. Love the jack in the box doors.
Camera was much better, the microphone built into your phone peaks a lot because you're either a lot louder than I recall you being or your mic is too sensitive.
Amigo, esses receptores são relíquias! Rio RJ Brasil

Candor at it's best! I was expecting a coo coo bird or some horses to gallop out of the front of that thing.

Tubes worth more than the set .😁
It looks like you can remove the rear apron of the chassis to gain easier access to the tube socket terminals, and other under chassis parts, that's a useful feature.
what else do you do, I enjoyed the mine shows thank you
I have one of those except the one I picked up has missing metal bracket and a couple other parts for the door to open. The radio works and the handle looks like new.
Those tubes with the 1 volt heaters sure do come on really fast I didn't know they done that until I got an old radio that uses them.
My understanding of the Loctel tubes is that they were designed for rough duty, such as military, or car radios, where the unit takes a beating and the tubes stay in the socket.
I'm amazed the selenium rectifier is still good! By the way, it's a 6G801.
Hold on! I admit I wasn't concentrating at the beginning, but did I see a random complete cap change by Shango 066?
There were all sorts of radios out there in the day. I kind of like that gimmicky push button fly open power on thing. The clock radio was cool with the day/date feature on it.

How long would batteries last in thatZenith? ?
A battery pack would last weeks with regular use.
i wish that kind of stuff would follow me home! very nice lil radio clock also
ooooooh eeeeeee that things it hurts my ears but dam it sounds so weird!
I like it's uniqueness.

The alarm clock radio goes back to grade school in the 60s …
good job my freind
your back . good bro
One volt tube radio comes on like solid state.
Should be able to come up with a more suitable audio output transformer from somewhere??
I've been looking for one, and absolutely no luck. GRRRRR !!!
what modern battery do you use to make it work?
Audio op transformers for these radios - atleast 10K primary = thin wire maybe breaking due to corrosion at the joints - find the joint to the lead in wire and resolder it. cause of corrosion seems to be acid flux residue
That zenith looks like a combination of something from sharper image (minus the proximity sensor) and one of those overly mechanical pencil boxes with buttons they used to have in the late 80's - early 90's. Very weird power control.

I heart that 14khz fine!
Diagnose before suer-side gotcha lol🤔😂
did anybody else notice that the new capacitors that the uy rdered were capxon bra caps which are one of the worst.
I'll bet that clock radio has radium painted hands.
I think that this radio probably had some radioactive paint on arrow and knobs.....
6G801...I have one of these somewhere...
hey man in Pomona Swap Meet and Classic Car Show i saw a ww2 transmitter 100$ for it guy did not want it it has tubes and things so i would check it out
your camera is not bad other than the mic is a little tinny. but you got to work with what you got
Forgot to mention cigarette smoke. People will think it's a imposter
Ghetto blaster from the 50s
like
Zenith portable peek a boo radio.
my speakers and wife don't like you today lol
Dude...you sent this to shango...really?....uuugggghhh
an ALL AMERICAN FIVE
yep the ole Zenith bat wing door model... pretty ugly radio but interesting ,
George Michael gone!!!!!!!!!! what ?
Quite the ugly Duckling radio,for a Zenith!
Too much dexterity lmbo
I've noticed the 5 thumbs down 👎🏻 on this video........ that's just not good FFS!
Sorry it's now 6 thumbs down!!! WTF
