Also Jonathan Ive the lead Apple designer has mentioned much of their designs has taken a lot of inspiration from Dieter Rams. Especially the first iPod.
Dieter Rams is brilliant and timeless in his creative work. Anyone interested in Commercial/Industrial design would do well to read his "10 Principles Of Good Design".
@@astro8bit Wow, the hypocrisy is great here. There is nothing brilliant about Rams' designs, he even said himself that his designs were not art, so why is he hyped as an artist today? A six-year-old could have made them with a ruler. His stuff looked like military electronics at best and like modern Chinese electronics at worst. Nothing special about them. I had several BRAUN devices and none of them were build well. Speakers where the mid dome touched the metal grille, a receiver with flimsy aluminium screw threads that broke...
That unit is simply gorgeous! Great job on the restore! If it was was morning, I would be having coffee brewed by my 1990's Braun coffeemaker which I recently picked up at a thrift store for $6. It makes better coffee than the 6 modern coffeemakers I bought and then returned because they sucked so bad.
I would've never suspected that ropes and pulleys were being used inside, what an impressive design. Hard to believe that this is from 1957, to me it still looks modern and appears to have survived incredibly well. I also had no idea that Braun had such a history and the fact that the logo remains the same and looks thoroughly modern after many decades always impresses me. Fantastic video.
Hi Matt. I am an old Sea Dog as they say. I love music and have used different German audio equipment during my sea voyages and have a healthy respect fir them. Ropes and pulleys were the norm then. Very trust worthy. I had bought a tuner in Singapore in the year 1968 to listen to lovely FM broadcasts on my ship. Even today I still use it at home after I've retired. It is all hybrid circuits - no IC's. And the tuning is by ropes and pulleys. 51 years is a long time for it to work without repairs. Old is gold. I was born in 1944. Capt. Hosi Khan.
And I thought I was the only one (as many said I was crazy to "waste my time" doing this) who opened the pots to clean and repair and the same with the variable capacitors! Thank you!
if you heat the stuck pot with a hair dryer it will come loose right away...while it is hot spray some penetrating lube and or solvent onto the shaft..it will make the hardened grease get soft again and it will be fixed without opening it...tried it many times and works always
I’m always impressed by the beautiful wood cabinets that so many old radios, record players, and TV sets came in. No manufacturers (or almost none) use them now- I suppose because of cost. Perhaps the old wood cabinets also reflect a time when electronics were more expensive than furniture! Our electronic equipment is more or less disposable now, while we conserve wooden furniture.
There’s lots of cheap wooden (yes, real wood) gadgets for office space organization, many of them made from bamboo. It wouldn’t add too much to the cost of component audio systems I think, and bamboo is quite a sustainable material. Maybe people who design consumer gear never went out o design schools and had no exposure to those historic styles?…
Great to see this video. Amazing equipment. I would be cautious of the old Paper capicitors. They often become electrically leaky and cause all sorts of weird issues. The bits you played sounded excellent though. I would love to find something like that myself :)
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing Braun's genius of design in the intro! I've always been enamored with old skool Braun because of that. I would love for them to get back into HiFi and perhaps bring a more affordable high-end price point.
Cool video. Cool fact 1: that contraption , the 2 spring loaded gears on the variable capacitor is also found ( in nylon) on the Oki 320 needle printer. I still got a box of spares. It is, as you guessed, to increase accuracy. Cool fact 2: I used a Braun food processor from the mid eighties to build a table saw.
In 1970-71 war ich Qualitätskontrolleur bei BRAUN in Frankfurt. Die Tonbandgeräte hatten magnetische Bremsen, und die Geschwindigkeitsregler der Plattenspieler waren auch Magnete. Die Lautsprecherboxen waren superior sowie auch alle Audiogeräte. Viel Erfolg weiter noch und besten Gruss aus Kapstadt. Peter Gaiser
Thats a beautiful looking Radiogram. Nice repair job!! I was nearly blown away when yoo mentioned the power of the beast though.... a whole 7 WATTS!!!!!!! wow!
Thankyou for posting this video it's so nice to see old equipment like this being repaired so that it can be used again. Also the way that u have explained every detail that you done to repair it. Love the video's keep up the great work you do 👌👍
Fantastic design, great repair and very nice condoition from the outside. That commercial at the beginning cracked me up. I had to watch it a second time after the video to realize it wasn´t from back then. Very well done. Interesting to me is that back in the 1950s and 60s people had the imagination of a much better future compared to the future imagined today. (generally speaking) I think that´s what is the most fascinating thing for me about retro futurism and science fiction of the past.
My Philips radio cabinet from the very early 60s is probably some of the most beautiful radio cabinets ever made. Space age inspired, made entirely from rosewood with brass details. Very rare model, no pictures of it on the internet.
The quality of this video is really great! You have excellent skills, I've never seen anyone who would fix such an old and somewhat complicated device.
There are rumors that Jonny Ives at Apple "appropriated" a LOT of the designs from Braun. And looking at the innovation from them, I can believe it! great Video! I want that console! lol
I love old audio equipment. I have an old radiogram I picked up almost 30 yrs ago. It still had the price tag on it and came with its instruction manual. I was at uni at the time (in my early twenties) ran it through a timer and used it as my alarm clock😊😊
Excellent work !!! I really do love this console ! Timeless design that would go in any modern home in my opinion . Sounds like it has a very nice sound as well . Thanks for sharing !
They certainly need to be changed. Keeping the old electrolytics is a good way to let the smoke out of the power transformer and rectifier when they decide to short out. Leaking paper caps will also mess up the bias on the amplifier and can burn up the tubes.
Definitelly paper ones,and reform or change filter and replace Se rectifier with 4007 diodes and resistor. But the cathode bypass cap can take audio end with it.
Virtually all of my old electronic devices are running on original capacitors, including radios from the 1930's. You variac-loving, neurotic cap-changers are insane. If you replace all the components with new Chinese ones, why not throw the radio in the trash and buy a new one?
Excellent video! Just abut to start work on the PK -G5/81 I bought a year ago - I think it may be in better conditions that yours, but we shall see.!!! Really informative and well made video - thank you!!!
Awesome repair, but as other have commented if you can do replace the caps in this machine, as they will be the next thing to give you trouble besides the tubes.
Very nice console. Those IF cans look much like grundig ones, possibly some relation. RE capacitors, the only one to really worry about is the coupling cap to the grid of the output valve, the grid should have a few volts negative dc on it, if the coupling cap leaks the grid goes positive, which will ruin the output valve and possibl y the power transformer, lack of hum indicates the power supply filter caps are Ok, at least for now.
For 12 years I was a service technician that worked only on a higher hi-fi Braun was one of the many my favorite was the Bron TG 1000 it’s a rope and reel tape deck with a very very impressively fast forward or rewind speed and very nice even pack on the tape at those beds also they made a three amplifier try amplified speaker it was quite exceptional
Love your channel! I am also a electronic hobbyist based in Germany. However, before you plug in any tube based device that didn't work for a long time, it would be a good idea to check all the capacitor first. A bad cap in such a device can lead to power or output transformer failure. That can be very expensive to fix, that is if the parts are still available....
What a thing of beauty it is! :D I'm jealous cause here in poland you can have hard time to find something like this at sane price... (maybe thats a good thing cause i would fill up my barn with stuff like that pretty quickly)
That is a thing of beauty... Wish I could find one like that.. even if it was not working , as long as the outside is in good shape I could put digital stereo inside and get the record player running also..
I am 72 years old retired ,In the past I have restored three Grundigs , a Wega 809-1 , a number of 1940s-- 60s No. American sets .Presently am starting a Blaupunkt sultan 2623 .I have freed frozen switches and tuning capacitors with Marvel misterary oil ,it is used to free piston rings in auto engines , a few drops on shaft and let sit over night.
That's beautiful....I love listening to you speak because it teaches how these words are supposed to pronounced, and to me when I hear you say the name Braun it sounds almost like Brown..and in America these guys have taught us to say this name totally incorrect i guess because we learned it as brawn (basically)..what a wonderful time in electronics it was back then , everything built so strong and streamline..Nowday's most everything i see for sale that isn't the very top of the line makes me sad, sick, or mad...or all of the above..haha
Usually I cringe at your accents, but your into here using an old transatlantic accent was great. Your editing is top notch, I really notice your attention to detail, the way you highlight parts of the circuit, all those little things. Great work.
Morbious Stone Just like the racial prejudices we have, we can’t always control our gut reaction, but we can control our response. Matt can’t help his pet peeve, but recognizes it, works against it, and applauds TPAI’s effort and work.
Hi Matt: I agree good "transatlantic accent". But I also like the others, the "cringe" is part of the eye-rolling fun. In a post a few minute ago I wrote: "Hey, great 1950's announcer voice. You did some voices in the past: I liked your take on US regional accents, More."

What a shame you couldn't play The Hobbit for us. Did not realize that there was a vinyl recording of it. Excellent work! So that's how you fix those pesky knobs. Wait till I get my hands on a tube radio...
Nice job on the video and the repair, that thing is absolutely beautiful! As to a record you might check with Techmoan, he's got an LP that seems to be UA-cam safe.

Fantastic, and good timing for me as I am about to repair a 1955 Grundig Type 2030 W/3D table-top radio that looks a lot like your Mormende Rigoletto 55 right down to the magic eye tube in the upper right corner. You didn't mention the kind of blue grease with which you lubed your pot shafts. I assume it is a special variety meant for radio parts? Also, I second what others have said, you really must change your paper and electrolytic caps for new polystyrene or tantalums. The old ones will short in time and cause possibly irreparable damage to tubes and coils, as well as rob you of radio's high frequency response.
Wow didn't even know that Braun made HiFi system etc, but as I say German engineering you can't fault it so much attention to detail, nice video, in England that would have been called a radiogram , Ferguson also made beautiful RadioGrams my Farther had one it was stereo but wired for mono, in later years I fitted a stereo cartridge to the turntable, and he was blown away lol
hooooly shit ! HOW AWESOME IS THE INTRO !!! Only mid way did I realise it's actually you - subtle ways in which I know you say certain words ... Amazing ... The production quality on this channel is exploding through the roof
Volume pot on my 1979 car radio was stuck too, but when I showed it for a technician about the no receive problem he put on some oil that fixed it immediately. Probably very good penetrative properties, have no idea what oil he used, container with no label and he did not seem to remember :)
Somebody needs to compose a "UA-cam sucks" song and release it to public domain so everybody can use it in their videos in place of other music they'll flag.
Apparently the Braun RC series receivers were used in a number of Braun products. I have a RC7\2 in a cabinet very similar to your PKG 5 which was designed by Hans Gugelot the original OLM designer as I'm sure you know. I have done most of the electrical restoration but I now need an alignment instruction...Can you help me?
Hello guys. I had to re-upload this video because of a rather silly copyright-claim. I think everything is OK now.
good its a very good vid enjoyed watcvhing it!
Please upload more often :(
Hey man! You should try troubleshooting tubes! There should be a way to check them without a tube tester.
I realize you-boob is a large part of your income. But these crappy people are just abysmal reprobates.
Chocolate Sheep 😂
Dieter Rams, the guy behind the futuristic design language of Braun, now has his own exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
And so he should. Beautiful work
Also Jonathan Ive the lead Apple designer has mentioned much of their designs has taken a lot of inspiration from Dieter Rams. Especially the first iPod.

Yep... The old Paper capicitors would have been the first components to replace or down the road it may destroy the power transformer from shorts.
I love the Braun aesthetic. Clean lines, very functional look.

The radio/record player in 1:28 on the 110 page looks really modern, like something that was made in 2000s.

That console radio is stunning absolutly beautiful! Yes go through and change all the old capacitors, it'll be a treasure for sure.

Thank you for putting all the care into this; it is a thing of beauty.
It's crazy. When I first saw that radio at the end of your previous video, I thought it was new.
The quality of this video is really great! You have excellent skills, I've never seen anyone who would fix such an old and somewhat complicated device.
Well then you need to check out Mr Carlson's Lab here in the youtubes. And Uncle Doug as well :-)
Pentti Kantanen
Thank you for the recommendation, subscribed to both!
Wow ... incredibly forward thinking design and execution.
That console was in amazing shape for it's age. Great work doing the repairs.
All your uploads are interesting, keep producing them for as long as you enjoy making them.
Man the intro was just perfect!
Great show man,I'm into old repair of audio myself, your so patient on taking stuff apart thanks for that. Keep up the good
It may be a high quality top-of-the-line piece of equipment, but it looks like a real pain to service and repair.
Definitely not designed for ease of service, but it doesn’t seem too bad.
There are rumors that Jonny Ives at Apple "appropriated" a LOT of the designs from Braun. And looking at the innovation from them, I can believe it! great Video! I want that console! lol
Beautiful craftmanship!
Great to see an historic system brought back to life.
That's beautiful. It looks to be in wonderful condition. Congratulations.

Great video as always
Excellent work !!! I really do love this console ! Timeless design that would go in any modern home in my opinion . Sounds like it has a very nice sound as well . Thanks for sharing !
You should change all the capacitors, a 60 years old capacitors make trouble in the equalization
They certainly need to be changed. Keeping the old electrolytics is a good way to let the smoke out of the power transformer and rectifier when they decide to short out. Leaking paper caps will also mess up the bias on the amplifier and can burn up the tubes.
rocketman221projects i heard that the plastic caps are good in the rectifier
Definitelly paper ones,and reform or change filter and replace Se rectifier with 4007 diodes and resistor. But the cathode bypass cap can take audio end with it.
Tesla Redstoner if the caps are bad there is no hi end
Virtually all of my old electronic devices are running on original capacitors, including radios from the 1930's. You variac-loving, neurotic cap-changers are insane. If you replace all the components with new Chinese ones, why not throw the radio in the trash and buy a new one?

Top notch, TPAI! And, those copyright issues really suck...
Another Awsome video ...super cool retro audio from Braun !
Got a small manual Braun slide projector at a fleamarket some five years ago and still love it :D
Awesome repair, but as other have commented if you can do replace the caps in this machine, as they will be the next thing to give you trouble besides the tubes.

Great repair work and good details on how to go about doing them!
Back to the days of waiting for TV's and radios to warm up before they'd work, I think I'm showing my age!
Great video as always. Your repair videos are my favourite. This copyright malarkey is getting ridiculous on UA-cam.
That Braun book was chock full of handsome design function :-)
That is a beautiful console design and is in excellent condition as well. Love your videos!
That thing is a work of modern art. Sounds pretty sweet too :)

Nice to see something of that quality restored for the future.
Amazing video. Thanks for the potentiometer cleanup tips! It may be useful in the future for my Philips 460 turntable.
Usually I cringe at your accents, but your into here using an old transatlantic accent was great. Your editing is top notch, I really notice your attention to detail, the way you highlight parts of the circuit, all those little things. Great work.
In fact I do, but then, so does everyone. I try not to let it stop me from posting content.

Hi Matt: I agree good "transatlantic accent". But I also like the others, the "cringe" is part of the eye-rolling fun. In a post a few minute ago I wrote: "Hey, great 1950's announcer voice. You did some voices in the past: I liked your take on US regional accents, More."
The accents of some UK UA-camrs hurt my ears but TPIA is fine.
We had the Braun OC 3 @ 1:39. This video brings back so many memories :)
My ears hurt, I think the levels are off, but that intro was awesome.
This whole video was awesome. I love the electrical diagram comparison to the actual electrical function. My favorite part of this channel actually.
loved everything about this video.
Wow that at radio and turntable Were so far advanced really a nice piece of equipment
I think the appearance of the music console could fit right in to some modern houses
Thumbed up! Going the extra mile pulling those faulty components, I would have just sprayed it with PCB solvent and Inox. Amazing designs in that catalogue.
Brilliant, this sort of stuff makes UA-cam worthwhile, keep it up.
beautiful radio
great work repairing it!
What a shame you couldn't play The Hobbit for us. Did not realize that there was a vinyl recording of it. Excellent work! So that's how you fix those pesky knobs. Wait till I get my hands on a tube radio...
Nice job on the video and the repair, that thing is absolutely beautiful! As to a record you might check with Techmoan, he's got an LP that seems to be UA-cam safe.
FIRST I HAVE TO SAY I ADMIRE YOUR PATIENCE ,AND KNOWLEDGE AND THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN ALL THE REPAIR STAGES
SECOND I REALLY LIKE BRAUNS CONTEMPORARY MAY BE BAUHAUS DESIGN ,VERY AHEAD OF HIS TIME
AND IT'S A PITTY THAT BRAUN NOW MAKES JUST SHAVING, DENTAL ,AND ALL SORT OF SMALL APPLIANCES
BUT THERE ARE STILL COMPANIES LIKE LOWE ,B AND O THAT HAVE VERY CONTEMPORARY ADVANCED DESIGNS ,BUT ALSO VERY EXPENCIVE
THANKS AGAIN
Good job!!!!! I love old things. I love valved circuitery. Hugs
Good work, beautifull piece of design! Great vídeos
I'm so jealous of you with the amzing stuff you have, just saw the L 710 go by and looked em up, but they are so expenisve..
Absolutely love this console and video. Great work.
I love that design, they don't make them like they used to. Danke!
These videos really take me.
Great stuff.
Lol.. Strange to hear such modern sounds from an ancient device like that. :-)
6 thumbs down? What's not to like? Great video, thanks for sharing.
EL95 grid capacitors - change em . rest ok. bad caps will kill el95. Also measure grid voltage on el95, should be zero.
As you say those two gears are ant backlash gears to prevent slop in the tuning.
Beautiful video and excellent repair work. Thanks! :D
Braun design is iconic. Jony Ive cites them as a major influence on his work at Apple.

Great project and choice of Avgn clip
Volume pot on my 1979 car radio was stuck too, but when I showed it for a technician about the no receive problem he put on some oil that fixed it immediately. Probably very good penetrative properties, have no idea what oil he used, container with no label and he did not seem to remember :)
Probably just wd-40.
