  • Here is a look at how I got this sicky signal meter from a CB Radio (also would work for a ham radio) unstuck.

    5:50 You’ve inspired me to try to in-stick the meter on my Chinese 12volt regulated supply. It’s old; voltage is correct but V / A meter is stuck. As long as the needle movement isn’t messed up, I might save it, based n your artistry. Cheers!

    I love this self help kind of stuff! It was cool seeing the internals on that meter. Makes repairing them all that more possible for a guy like me. Thanks for sharing!

    I really like your fix. Some old tube radios would use a piece of some sort of paper that would allow light to travel through it for illumination to shield heat. I'm surprised that Johnson did not due that here. Stay warm!

    Good save on the radios meter but uasally don't come across bulbs melting plastic often.
    I seen more stuck meters that can deoxit loosens up plus the tension screws get re adjusted.

      Hi Don.. I think it was the original bulb...it just got bent out of place and was touching the plastic

    Hi, not sure if you will see this since the video here was from 2 days ago, but, my question is will I benefit using a line conditioner for my radio equipment or just stick with a cheap surge protection strip. Thank you

      @SevenFortyOne  2 роки тому +1

      Hard to say....a line conditioner certainly wouldn't hurt but I'm not sure it would do much to help
