Another great job to a wonderful radio. I had to replace the foam on the signal meter on mine. The signal meter lamp was also faulty and that was quite difficult to replace. I made a BFO unit for mine, which I used for some time, then later I found an original second-hand SSB-2000 unit, which works really well. I added a dial (led) lamp to it, so it would be easier to see the dial scale. Thanks for going through most of this radio again and will save these videos with the others, for future reference.
Hi Manuel. Watching you do the reception test on MW reminded me of an old memory. In around 1991 I was new to truck driving and on my first trip in the lorry to Italy. I was parked at a truckstop in Carisio in Northern Italy for the weekend. I was talking to another British driver that told me he was tuned in and listening to "Capitol Gold" on 1548 MW. I thought he was pulling my leg but no.. I tried my lorry radio and sure enough there it was. This was a local station in London and for some reason at night you could tune in ias far south as Gibraltar .... but you couldn't tune into it in from 15 miles north of London. I tried this an it was absolutely true. The exact same factory Volvo lorry radio would pick it up from around 7pm CET almost anywhere in Europe .... but 15 miles north if London ... nothing. I believe the station is still going no on the same frequency and on DAB but they just call themselves "Gold" now. Great video as usual. Regards Mark
There’s a term for that but I can’t quite remember it now. What happens is that the signal shoot’s up into space and bounces off the atmosphere. You then get the signal that has bounced back. Very close to the transmitter, you are receiving the “direct” signal. A little further away, the “angle of the bounce” is too tight for reception. As you move further away, you start to receive the bounced signal. It has to do with the radiation pattern of the transmitting antena, and it’s weird 😊 I know, but actually makes some sense.
Hi Manuel, another great project put to bed, well done. They are as rare as hens teeth here. I'm after a National Panasonic RF-5000 which is the Japanese equivelent. A couple of Zeniths were in our last auction, one was an early valve set. They went for a song, I guess I should of bid, but I was after other things.
Thank you for the very good explanations of the restoration process. I am also working on the restoration of Grundig Satellite 1400/2400 radios. Unfortunately, I am not a professional electronics engineer, so I often have to rely on help from various forums. It would be really helpful if you could also deal with the Satellites 1400/2400, explain the circuit diagram and the exact procedure for aligning the individual bands. I really appreciate your work, it helps to preserve the knowledge about these devices for the future.
Hi Manuel. Great stuff as always. The sets performance is really good, and after the cleaning the radio looks in excellent condition for its age. As always another enjoyable series. Cheers Chris.
I also have an update. Found a couple of swapped resistors on that RF generator of mine, 4.7M and 47K :) I guess thats an usual mistake. Also found out that even a 3 ohm resistor drops the filament voltage too much. Nice to see you have been struming some chords :)
Thanks for showing us this. It's looooong ago, that i heard a ssb-qso. Perhaps i should re-activate my amateur-radio licence. Where will you get the 3. missing knob?
Senhor Manoel o rádio demoro pra chegar porque eu tinha 2 opções mais o correio não me informou e ele foi sem o rastreamento por favor mande de volta com todas as garantias de e rastreamento ok obrigado estou feliz pelo bom trabalho que o senhor fez não sei como agradecer fico no aguardo para efetuar os trâmites de pagamento do trabalho executado e transporte obrigado
Electronics old and new your Grundig salellit 2100 shortwave is cool
This bulb looks identical to the center console illumination bulb on the Mercedes w124. They came in two types - 12V 1,2W and 12V 0,4W
thanks

A beautiful radio Manuel and a fine repair. I can't add any more to what has been written below 🙂
Thanks Dave 👍
Nice Job I'm sure your UK friend will be happy.
Now the problem of packing to ensure will survive the shipping process.
That part is actually the toughest challenge 😊
Greetings: "These guys" are know as wedge base lamps. Used in cars at turn of the century.
👍
Hi Manuel! Really nice as always, these Satellites are fenomenal radios!
👍
Oh I want one so much! It'd be perfect for my bedroom.
Get onto ebay … now! 😊
@@electronicsoldandnew I'm afraid it's yet another item in the queue...
Always so many … 😊
Super!
thanks

@@electronicsoldandnew thank you. I always wondered about that and a clear concise idiot proof explanation .... as usual. Thanks

You are lucky you have auctions like that where you come from. In my neck of the woods, the only choice is buying from overseas.
Manuel, como siempre, un placer ver tus videos!!! Gracias.
👍
nice! It seems to me that I saw similar lamps in the auto shop for illuminating the instrument panel.
I believe they used them in cars, yes.
Perfect Job!!!!! Grazie!
Prego 😊
Perfeito trabalho com qualidade logo estará de volta parabéns
Obrigado 👍

I haven’t come across one of those models yet, but if one comes my way, I won’t resist 😊

I have ed indeed 😊
Well 0.8 ohms gets me in 6.2v and the resistor only gets warm to the touch. I think I'll call that good enough. Still no audio though. More digging :)
👍 You’ll get there.
Além do restauro em si ;gostei do título ( e do trocadilho) deste capítulo final . Mais um Satélite em órbita...😂😂😂😂 👍
😊 Meu lado criativo em ação 😊

I’m afraid my friend is going to have to find one on ebay himself.
Senhor Manoel boa noite seria possível arrumar um externo bfo pra mim obrigado
Great series... just 1 question why does your on screen footnote say 40M while the radio is showing 20M?
My mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.
I know this is minor, but will you give me the part # for the bulbs?
I don’t have the actual number. Just searched ebay for “grundig satellit 2100 dial lamps”.
@@electronicsoldandnew - Got it!

Vou aguardar a chegada da lâmpada, e logo que esteja pronto contacto-o.
