That came out real nice David I mean Vern!
What a beauty! These simple looking cheap radios have stood the test of time much better than the big ugly overblown things the rich folks were buying
Great restoration! Looks and sounds superb.
That’s a beautiful finish, and the radio looks and sounds just great. A restoration project to be proud of.
It is the modern restorations that color the bottom feet or base black. Most if having a two tone finish the color would be
as close to the center of the face color and here the top. I always thought the radio dial color was the same as a manila envelope in color. That's a pretty darn nice looking and sounding radio after all that work. Great job Vern.
A damn fine job sir! The sound is amazing, even through the camera. Gee, getting 610 AM as a strong signal, huh lol well done!!)))
Nice job, Vern!
Looks good and I like the light feet to give contrast and lift the set of the bench. As for the dial colour if is is an image file of scanned file then select your colour hue and tweak the saturation for the colour and the gamma for the contrast and mid tone. I think doing it with the printer setting you call on preset stock paper settings and there are so many variables you will chase your tail. Hope this is of some help Sounds sweet.
Standard paper will bleed ink on a laser jet so less ink and more dithering is used giving a weaker contrast, photo paper is more resistant to bleed but if you use this setting on standard paper the print will look soft. Try switching ink / toner saving or Eco off, then have another crack with standard paper setting but print on photo paper. Not sure what image software you use but if it is MS paint the colour pallet is rather crude try MS photo editor or similar working with a jpg or photo file.
Hi Vern, that came up great. A nice radio for your collection. Regarding the waterslide paper, the backing with the print on it is discarded when the printed waterslide part is slid off, you shouldn't see the printing. Looking at the first dial it did look better in the camera, very strange. Very nice project 👍🙂
Hi David, Yes, I know they slide off. The first one shown in the radio is mounted on a white plastic sheet as a diffuser. The color changed when the backing was removed.
There is a yellowish tint on the sheet, likely the adhesive. What I was alluding to was I wanted to leave it on the sheet and use the paper sheet as the diffuser.
The white paper is transparent enough to let the light through. In fact, the final one in the video is simply photo paper laminated for protection. Light passes through just fine.
I played with the Gamma and Color adjustments for hours but what you see on the computer vs what prints is very different. I think I will print another one on the Waterslide Decal paper, but position is such that the printing is behind the lower part of the dial where the light doesn't shine through.
Just finished watching your last video. How you get so lucky with some of these repairs is amazing. I think they are staged 🤣
You really got me thinking when you changed out those caps in the crossover network. I have a set of Kenwood speakers I bought in the 70's for a considerable sum back then,
I thought my hearing was getting bad, Guess I will open them up and check the crossover networks. Never even considered looking at them before. You woke me up on that one. Cheers.
@@theradiomechanic9625 I see what you meant about the printed back, I misunderstood. I wonder what the waterslide or paper would look like stuck to a piece of diffuser from a LED TV would look like.
I think part of the color issues in-camera are due to your white balance being off. I am assuming the "plain printer paper" you were holding was white, but it looks very blue.
