Could you please someday tell us where your antique store is, Name and Location? I really want to buy one of the radios. Keep up the GREAT work Glasslinger!
What a great way to start the day. Theres a bakelite on craigslist right now for $15. Im trying not to spend money right now but it is hard to ignore. I love all your content. Thank yoy
I literally just checked my subscriptions yesterday to make sure I was still subscribed to your channel. Making sure YT was playing fair, ya know! But no new videos. 😢 Glad to see you back, Ron! Love all your videos, but your glass tube making are my favs! Happy New Year!
2023 was a very busy year for me with some house maintenance, putting in the huge vacuum tube collection. I'm back to making videos again now, and tube making is in the list!
Good morning Ron. A little late but all the best for a happy and healthy new year 2024! I missed to see you in one of your nice dresses. Maybe it was to cold toe wear them? Loved the tips how to adjust the filters on the radio. I'm always impressed of your knowledge and skills! Hope to see many more of your videos! Many greetings from Germany
I have a friend with a UA-cam channel that you might enjoy. His channel is “oldradios” and he too restores older technological devices. Thanks for this video!
Ron, I hope you had a happy Christmas and the loverly cat kept you on your toes lol. You just need to teach the cat to repair things :-D Ron, you would beat tech's half your age. Just enjoy your ability's and pet the cat lol. A loverly friend.
Ah a Truetone. Looked it up and it is a Western Auto Supply sold radio . Model D2815 from 1948, 76 years ago. Thanks for sharing your amazing skillset Ron with these old radio repairs. I still need to use the original schematics to figure out what and where things go. Still learning. Looks like decades of brown nicotine stains covered the cabinet.
For bakelite housings I like to use shoe polish, this may be colorless, polish out nicely after application. Works very well . Greetings from Germany ( Ruhr area )
May be the chassis is floating, not at ground potential. To glue the top of electrolytic capacitors directly to chassis can put it to tht mains potential.
Wow Welome back my friend? its so so so nice to see you back in a new video!! Happy New Year to you and yours from Philippines..... Love all your videos!!!
Молодец, чувак. Давно Тебя смотрю. Интересно рассказываешь, поясняешь, зачем и что, и какие функции, какой компонент выполняет. Специально не на английском написал. Привет из Украины. С Новым Годом
Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time! I've been missing you, and the kitty too. Nice repair. And yeah, those newfangled digital scopes... even tubes are faster, haha! I've got a Tek 468 and it turns on in a bunch of seconds. Good enough. Would appreciate a totally tubular one though.
Keri we have one of those old tube type tek scopes here. I would love to bring it up from storage. They just take up so much room is our big issue here.. Take care sugar
@@jamied2108 yeah, I got rid of my ZRK OS-102 partly because of that: it took too much space in my teeny tiny super crammed lab back then, plu I needed cash. Now I regret it. Bad life decisions... nah.
HELLO MR GLASSLINGER NICE TO SEE YOU BACK I HAVE MISS YOU AND YOUR LOVELY CAT DID YOU HAVE A NICE CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BY NOW FROM SYDNEY AUSTRALIA
I "liked" this video because there is thoroughly nothing not to like about it. I appreciate you: sharing your experience and knowledge with us; bringing back to life this beautiful old radio (and all the others you've healed or resurrected); and, (last but not least) your choice of masculine attire (that's a nice flannel shirt) for this video.
Oh yeah! amigo glaslinger adorei você restaurando o radio, trocando os capacitores,, ah sim, eu também adorei a 🐱 oncinha, ela é muito bonitinha,, más enfim glaslinger, eu adoro ver os seus vídeos, pois você é um ótimo técnico asd : Ricardo salles franz Oh yeah! My friend Glaslinger, I loved you restoring the radio, changing the capacitors, oh yes, I also loved the leopard print, it's very cute, but anyway Glaslinger, I love watching your videos, because you are a great technician. asd: Ricardo Salles Franz
This is definitely a higher-quality receiver. It has those nice, big IF cans with the trimmer caps. In later years, manufacturers really took a step down in quality when they used those smaller, crappy IF cans with those internal silver-mica sheet capacitors and the fragile adjustable ferrite inductors. Those smaller cans almost always develop SMD.
Hi Ron, Glad to see youback. Miss your outfits though! QUESTION: I'm working on an RCA Little Master "A" and I'm haviing not luck getting a new dial glass. Do have have a source? I've run out of ideas. Thanks.
In United States you are lucky, you have many medium wave radio stations that are broadcast by private individuals, in Italy the only important systems were. state-owned and they were all turned off in September 2022, now there are small radio stations left with low power, a maximum of 1 kW, which are not enough to have a good transmission result
Inexpensive AM transmitting adapters are great so you can pipe your digital music, or even vintage programming, through these boxes without adding circuitry.
In Montreal Canada all we have is sports, talk, news religious and ethnic. There used to be oldies but they switched to sports. Just talking all day. One station will play only a few seconds of a song now and then, that is stupid.
I was hoping that Ron would get a professional soldering iron for charismas, but I guess we are stuck with the Weller GUN for 2024.... 🙂 BTW, next to my soldering iron and DVM my Hot Glue Gun is the second most used repair tool in the test equipment arsenal!! But keep in mind that not all Glue Sticks are the right type and the same goes for the glue gun, some dont get hot enough to melt the high quality glue sticks.. Robert
I'm New to your Channel & I love it You have a life time of knowledge That's being forgotten and the amount of different Subjects is so Vast I'm glad your Sharing it whih the World 🌎 So please Keep them Coming I've learnt so much from you allredy. I also fix things that people wuld send to the recycle centre and I get a buzz out of bringing them back to life again. So please Keep Teaching the World how to do right. You wher Recycling Before it Got To be The Right thing to Do .My Hat goes off to You please keep the Videos coming From 🇬🇧...
Thank you so much for all of your videos. My grandfather had a radio repair business in the 30s-50s. My father had some relics laying around that are now working. Repaired a wire recorder and I have electronic ghosts of aunts, uncles, grandparents and my father keeping me company. Can't thank you enough.
Hey you're back! Hello to you! Keysight, I'll never give them my business, they outright told me unless I'm a business they won't provide any support what so ever, but they'll happily take my money anyway, ugh There seems to be a growing trend of polishing anything bakelite to a mirror finish, even when that wasn't how a particular model used to be, where do you stand on polish-holics 😂
Hi Ron This radio brings memory's, in the Netherland's back then we had the U series's they had no transformer a lot of people got killed because the chassis was live if you plugged it in the wrong way. They were small and had a Bakelite box. Anyway good show Ron I love it,I follow you a long time now and you never seas d to amaze me. Ron you make your own valves, I have here a Phillips GZ 34 double rectifier 150 mA. Air got in to it,you can tell normally it is silver now white. The valve is new, never used the filaments are OK I checked them. It would be a shame to throw it away. If you interested I will send the valve to you,with your skills, you can repair the valve for own use. I know you in Florida Houston, but I have no address to send it to you other wise you would have the valve already. Don't mention the cost, no problem. Perhaps have a look on my channel tell me what you think. I am 74 years young. Thanks Ron great fun, especially with cat . 73 Jo
There's something really noble about getting those back into their ex-factory state for their next doting owner., who'll hopefully offer a caring home etc
Happy New Year to you. I was a tech for many years. I retired about a year ago. You remind me of how satisfying fixing things is. My wife is always impressed when I take something apart and fix it (try at least).
This is Nice. I had two Uncles that worked in Electronics. It was fun to sit around when they were fixing stuff and I didn't know nothing about what they were doing. It looks easy but it's not.
Hello to all? if anyone could help me out by posting a picture on your channel for our friend Glassinger to see/ and download Please please let me know i been trying to send her a picture of a very big tube for over a year. I hope someone can post the picture for her to see.... Thank you all.....
Hi, I was wondering where you are located. I would love to find a mentor to help me learn radio repair. I have a couple table top models and a beautiful Zenith console that I want to restore, but I get stuck on the electronics.
Hi Ron your tech friend from up north Dave here nice video you do such good work hope to see another video soon your friend Dave😅. may God bless you and keep you safe all ways
Hello> i thought that was so kind of Mike turnner to make that picture of your kitty inside of that tube with the old radio at the top. I wish he would do that for me.
Ciao, anche io riparo radio antiche di solito europee, ma qualche volta mi è capitato di riparare quelle americane anni '40, che in genere sono più semplici nella costruzione, ma sono più comode da riparare.
You are alive !!! Was thinking about you the other day. And here you are. As always, thankyou for showing us the old ways.
Hi Ron. Enjoyed watching your restoration as usual. Do you still make tubes?
That cat! Love it. Happy New Year all kitty lovers.. Oh, and radio/TV/Hi-Fi restoration people.
Welcome back my friend, Its always great to see you back at it! I hope you had a nice New years just saying hello....
Glad to see you making videos again. Always something to learn from you, always.
Hello Ron, been watching you for years, think you're great. You have a wealth of knowledge. Ian, from Sheffield England.
The Buttons! You didn't clean the buttons! Love your channel and I enjoy watching your skilled work!
Lets see you in your nice dress.
Could you please someday tell us where your antique store is, Name and Location? I really want to buy one of the radios. Keep up the GREAT work Glasslinger!
After immortalizing these things here on youtube, it's too bad they don't hit ebay; they'd command a premium price after the exposure.
Every time a new video pops up, it’s a true gift.
I'd love to see you make a tube HF transmitter from scratch sometime!! (Although repairing a guitar tube amp wouldn't be bad either!)
What a great way to start the day.
Theres a bakelite on craigslist right now for $15. Im trying not to spend money right now but it is hard to ignore.

Nice to see you back master !
Great to see another video from you Ron, and really good to see you and your lovely cat are well ❤
Great to see you back. Don't stay away so long next time.

Yes, I have watched some of his videos.

Good job, mate.
Wishing all the best for the new year.
Thanks for making these videos
You and Kitty did a great job! I missed you.
Ron, I hope you had a happy Christmas and the loverly cat kept you on your toes lol.
You just need to teach the cat to repair things :-D
Ron, you would beat tech's half your age.
Just enjoy your ability's and pet the cat lol.
A loverly friend.

Love your cat Ron. My babies are all in pussycat heaven. What is the material of your buffing cloth? Is it better than an old tee shirt?
For bakelite housings I like to use shoe polish, this may be colorless, polish out nicely after application.
Works very well .
Greetings from Germany ( Ruhr area )
Please make a video together with Mr Carlsson, because he needs some of your pragmatic skills you know 😀
Glasslinger iam going to be 61yers old in March 23 i was in 1963 my friend
May be the chassis is floating, not at ground potential. To glue the top of electrolytic capacitors directly to chassis can put it to tht mains potential.
True the plastic covered can is negative side.
I will come back and watch it after work. Just wanted to say WOOHOO
Have a good new year Ron . Great to see you here again . All the best from an 84 year old vintage radio nut in the UK .
Interesting. I was working on a 1948 Stewart Warner chairside radio that day. Happy New Years!
Wow Welome back my friend? its so so so nice to see you back in a new video!! Happy New Year to you and yours from Philippines..... Love all your videos!!!
Outstanding radio repair continues in 2024! Happy New Year!

great job as allways Ron
Real nice job, and you work so efficiently. I can't imagine the antique store giving you a fair price for your trouble. Is Ebay not worth the hassle?
Before I watch your video I want to wish you a happy new year and thank you for the videos you made in 2023.
Ron, youre one of my favorite people to watch. Idk exactly what it is. It reminds me of watching my grandad work. And it makes me feel calm.
Glad you're back, Ron. Supervisor needs gravy.
Well Don my great teacher. Have murphy radio. U have old radio circuits.
Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time! I've been missing you, and the kitty too. Nice repair.
And yeah, those newfangled digital scopes... even tubes are faster, haha! I've got a Tek 468 and it turns on in a bunch of seconds. Good enough. Would appreciate a totally tubular one though.
Keri we have one of those old tube type tek scopes here. I would love to bring it up from storage. They just take up so much room is our big issue here.. Take care sugar
@@jamied2108 yeah, I got rid of my ZRK OS-102 partly because of that: it took too much space in my teeny tiny super crammed lab back then, plu I needed cash. Now I regret it. Bad life decisions... nah.
Another great restore. Love your videos. Nice to see your helper at the end of the video.😉 Thank you!

Hello from Ukraine!

Good to see someone else use hot glue to secure caps to the chassis!!!:) Howdy from El Paso GS
Have a nice '24 Ron!
Good to see you back! Love to watch how you work.
glad to see you,,happy new year ron
Can you tell me the full name an description of the tube book showing all of the pinouts? I would love to have one of those.
Unfortunately, the book is obsolete by about 25-30 years. It was put out by RCA in the early 90's.
in Italy all medium wave transmitters have been turned off, for this reason it is almost useless to repair ancient tube radios.
1.) Build a transmitter
2.)
This is definitely a higher-quality receiver. It has those nice, big IF cans with the trimmer caps. In later years, manufacturers really took a step down in quality when they used those smaller, crappy IF cans with those internal silver-mica sheet capacitors and the fragile adjustable ferrite inductors. Those smaller cans almost always develop SMD.
Yes. I come across the rotten I.F. cans quite often. I have plenty of spares on hand so for now not any more than the nuisance of changing them out.
Hi Ron, Glad to see youback. Miss your outfits though! QUESTION: I'm working on an RCA Little Master "A" and I'm haviing not luck getting a new dial glass. Do have have a source? I've run out of ideas. Thanks.
Try TIMESAVERS.COM. They have quite a selection.
Very nice old radio. Too bad there's nothing worth listening to on AM anymore.😢

It's always good to see the notification of a new glasslinger video!

Hi, thanks.
Just 'keep being you'
Great video 🤘😎🤘
Hello Miss? did you like the big tube i make for you?
Sir that was so sweet and kind for you to do that for our friend.
Hello. How are you ??
I always use Brasso for Bakelite. It smells awful, but does a great job.
welcome back teacher, always very good, he should make videos more frequently, greetings 🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was hoping that Ron would get a professional soldering iron for charismas, but I guess we are stuck with the Weller GUN for 2024.... 🙂

Happy new year Glasslinger, thanks god you kept him alive to spread knowledge.

On my 30min lunch break.... Wishing ida waited to watch the whole thing when I got home.
Nice to see your videos again. Hope you are well. Enjoy all the old radios. Ken from got ms
Nice looking radio. Simple circuit too.
Happy New Year.
I really admire how you repair the radios and everything you do, a big hug from Aregntina, happy year
