- A friend asked me to restore his 1938 Healing 448E radio and he wants to play it in his store. He has done a beautiful job on the cabinet and he wants the radio chassis to look original. I can't make it work though. The US hardware grommet supplier I mentioned in the video is: McMastr-Carr

The Signal Generator is a project kit from a local electronics magazine called Silicon Chip, there is a sister publication in the UK called Practical Electronics, it was featured in the April 2018 edition but mine has a oscilloscope function as well which I don't use. There may be a later edition in PE with that feature.

Hi David , just when I was feeling down and bored along you came, a breath of fresh air, fantastic to see you here again. Many thanks as always from Nr Liverpool UK.
Hi Chris from Nr Liverpool, thank you I'm happy to help 😉🙂
Hands down the best radio restoration channel on UA-cam. Thanks, David.
Thank you Stephen 🙂
@@DavidTipton101 One of the best aspects of your channel is that you show us your thought processes. As a master electrician, I'm quite capable of doing the electrical work the other radio shows present as fait accompli. What fascinates me about your work is the application of logic and outright brilliance to find solutions.
You and Mister Radio show your mistakes, very few of the others do. Yet - it's from the mistakes that we learn the most.
One complaint: You need to post more videos. Many more. Not that I'm a spoiled, demanding brat or anything....
@@ethelryan257 Thank you Ethel, you will have to run more videos and more radios request past my wife 😂
I love how your AM stations always are transmitting old music !!
Hi Alejandro. Sadly the music radio station I tune into changed to 24 hour sport last week, we still have one music station but it's difficult to get where I live. It caused quite an uproar, the station was a ratings winner and they shut it down, very sad 😥
@@DavidTipton101 hey, that's a shame. Here, most AM stations are 80% news and opinion and some late-night music broadcasts. and weekends... all sports. but the habit of listening classical music, jazz, rock or tango, tango! I live in Argentina and there are hardly any tango programs on the radio!! FM is something else. but I like AM. And about electronics, I congratulate you, every day there are less of us who know about vacuum tubes.
I always appreciate craftsmen of any trade showing their skills. My Dad was a shoe worker, so that was good to see some are still doing it ols school. You are a true craftsman, Dave. This radio is just a piece of art the way you organized everything. Thanks again and always look forward to all your videos here in western Maine, USA. (Iam an Electronics Tech myself.)
Hi David in Maine, thank you. Trevor is a true artist, he has done a number of items for me and always impresses. I'm glad you enjoy my videos, cheers 🙂
Hello, Mr. Tipton" Glad to see you again bringing another tube radio back to its original glory. I'm saying hello first knowing your inspiration has not only been showing me techniques but also you have a knack for humor in your teachings. 12:30am here in Washington State. I'm a retired night owl and always watching out for your videos, Mr. Carlson and Buzz1151 he's quite the character. Anyway, time to enjoy your video. "CHEERS MATE"
Hi Kevin, don't stay up too late, I'm getting to bed later and later myself. Mr Carlson is great, Buzz is a laugh a minute, I don't know why he doesn't have more subs? Thanks Kevin, enjoy the show 🙂
Another promising project! You really did well to find that IF transformer fault. I don’t know how it could have de tuned itself while you were changing the caps. I never would have thought to check if the alignment had changed.
It’s a pity those bikies came into the leather shop and talked over your video! You should’ve gone outside and kicked over their Harleys. Or not - we do want to see more of your videos!
As always, it was a pleasure to come home on a Friday afternoon to find you had posted a new video. Looking forward to the Bluetooth one!
Cheers Dave
Hi Don, I don't know either, it worked fine then nothing, I spent quite a few hours going over my work, it was the last thing I expected but they were all out, a combination of them all being right on the edge perhaps. They were nice enough, but they talked loud so I cut it out, we got the gist of the repair anyway. Thanks Don, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Thats a radio way beyond my ken. I am marveled with the pre 1948 era, but tend to work in my age range of the 1950’s. I do appreciate your skills and efforts.
It was getting beyond my ken for a while too Jim. Thanks 😀
Always a pleasure to see a true craftsman at work. Fine job. Can hardly wait to see what you have in store for the front dial. Thanks David!
Hi Tim, thanks. The dial was a challenge, it's all in part 2 next week 👍🙂
I hope we get to see the completed machine in the end inside it's restored cabinet. I don't know why I'm getting the urge to head down to Woolies and buy a kilo of caps and make some cap-Kebabs. mmmmmmmm...cap Kebabs with garlic sauce.
Always good to see old school craftsmen, a radio man and a leathersmith. The needle at each end of the thread was particularly impressive. Gotta keep an eye out for that "Dummies" book. Very unique. 😆
Hi Ellesmere, I have photos of the completed radio for part two, it looks very good. I'm not sure about capbabs but I damn near fricasseed my caps 😂 I might consider a smaller torch next time 🤔 Thanks Ellesmere.
Another great and entretaining restoration video. Gotta love the "fireworks show" in the rectifier tube and the fun with the blowtorch afterwards. 🤣
Also, amazing craftsmachip involved in restoring the leather case of the little Philco. Wish I could find someone nearby to stitch some radio and camera cases I got wihch came loose with time.
Thank you Álvaro. The tube fireworks was a first for me but great to dance too, the less said about the blowtorch the better 😒 Leather repairers are hard to find, I am lucky with Trev.
Hi David, thanks for another wonderful video. I’m always learning from your videos and am entertained at the same time. The leather craft was also a nice addition. I noticed Mr. Carlson gave you a nice compliment on his latest video, congratulations!
Hi Phillip, thank you. Trevor was very interesting I thought. I haven't seen Mr Carlson's video. I had better go and do it 🙂
Dave, you always come up with the goods. I've not been feeling well ❤️
Sorry to hear that John, I hope you return to good health quickly. Thank you 🎈
That's for the fun Dave. See you in a few days!
Cya Friday Tim 🙂
27:48 A brief chorus of Marty Robbins' *Big Iron* dropped on the audio track whenever you mention "Big Iron"! LOL😁
👍
Great to see you again David. Always a good day when you download anew video. Nice work as usual 👌. Look forward to part 2. Keep well my friend. Best wishes Terry uk 🇬🇧 ❤.
Hi Terry in the UK, thank you. Part 2 next week. All the best Terry 👍🙂
35:10 This fellow should be reeling of a few jokes as he does this, so he'll *have us all in "stitches!* 🤣
👍
D'Day Mate, to me it looks like Trevor saved your hyde clyde. Great show as always. Many thanks and warm wishes for a healthy winter down under.
Good morning Mr Bond, he saved my radio's hide at least 😄 Thank you, enjoy your summer 👍🙂
Another enjoyable adventure. Sorry that the other fellow did the cabinet work. I always enjoy your excellent refinishing work. I look forward to part II.
By the way, regarding the leather workers finger getting cut while stitching, another UA-cam craftsman (Bedos Leatherworks) sews shoe welts on by hand, similarly to this type of stitching, but he fashioned himself a leather sleeve for his pinky, so that the thread doesn't slice through his skin.
Hi Stephen, I was a bit sad I didn't get to do the cabinet too but the owner was a cabinet maker and did a first class job restoring it. Trevor mentioned trying different things to protect his fingers but said they get in the way. His hands are so tough now, probably tougher than the leather 😂
4:46 what a lovely fireworks 🎇 🤣
It was really going off 😄 Thanks خالد عطايا
It's great to see another tiptronics presentation :) The Bee gees a1977 track on a 1937 radio , cool. Your a genius getting these old things going. Looking forward to Bluetooth circuit.
Hi Leo, you would expect an old radio to play old music I guess 😄 Thanks Leo, this one gave me a run for my money. Bluetooth next week 🙂
You’ve inspired me to build out my electronics workbench. Thank you for sharing your restoration journey!!
Good for you Paul, I hope it all goes well. Thanks 👍😊
Really frustrating when its working and then all of a sudden it just dies and you know everything was right. The IF's must have just been on the edge and when new parts went in it couldn't handle it. Great idea making those 3d printed holders for the replacement caps. All in all it was another great video to watch thanks for sharing your time and frustration.
I assumed I had done something wrong and wasted a lot of time trying to work it out, that was the frustrating part. The holders worked well. Thanks LuckyLarry 😊
Wish we had a Trevor here! Leather work is difficult to come by and i generally have to ship stuff off to get leather work done. Good repair video Dave, it was indeed a surprise that adjustment was that much different with the new resistors and capacitors installed.
Hi Jeff, I am lucky, Trev is 5 minutes away. I was surprised the IFs were the problem too, it was the last thing I expected. Thanks Jeff 😊
Your humor is very refined Dave!
Thanks for the video :)
Refined? my humor has been called lots of things but never refined. Thanks Daniel 😄
@@DavidTipton101 Yes, I think it's subtle and refined. :)
Healing may once have been independent(at the time this set was made), but ended up as the alternate electronics brand to His Master's Voice under EMI.
👍
Onya Dave! Another awesome video. Glad to see your doing alright, you bring a lot of joy.
I have a friend repairs shoes and other leatherwork and I know there are not many of those guys out there it was nice to see him work fixing your radio case it looks really nice !
Hi Richard, that's good that you have someone to do leatherwork. I hope Trevor stays around for a bit longer 🙂
Made my Friday, Dave. Thanks again. By the way, my wife won’t let me get a blowtorch to use in my workshop. i told her Dave had one, and she said I should grow up and stop trying to copy others’ stuff. I’m going to get me one of those bulldozer soldering irons like yours without telling her, just to get my revenge.
Stay well, and looking forward to part 2.
Start storing radios on her half of the room, that should reinforce your dominance.
@@mackfisher4487 : Or ensure divorce 😊
Haha... a blowtorch in the wrong hands can be a disaster as I showed 🤣🤣 Still, the firemen were very nice about it. The big iron is essential, you definitely need one. Thanks Manuel,
Such a grand adventure
Thanks mate for the journey
Thank you Craig, my pleasure 🙂
Your 3D printer is really coming in handy, Dave.
Also enjoyed the leather stitching by Trev.
Thanks Rick. The printer is very handy and Trev ia an artist as well as a gentleman 🙂
That Healing came out very well. I was surprised it worked at all with just the coupling cap changed. I felt sure there would be some other nasties like an open speaker tranny or something. It shows how well they were made. Once again a very entertaining video. I'm really looking forward to seeing you work your magic on the dial assembly. Cheers.
Hi Ian, I find most radios will work to some degree but this one only needed the basic components changed to get it working well, dial assy coming up on part 2. Thanks Ian 🙂
Life is just one long amazing adventure.
Too right Stephen 😄
Hi David...That's a weird looking radio, and wow, what a big soldering iron! Enjoyed your little "David Cinema" at the end with the stitchery. 🍺
Hi Buzz, I think you guys had similar looking radio designs, we probably stole the idea from you anyway 😉 I could never compete with a genuine Buzz Cinema production 😂😂 Thanks Buzz.
Hi David ! I enjoy watching you employ your troubleshooting skills, and will be waiting patiently for the second half of this video. Thanks.
Thank you Raymond, next week for part two 🙂
That's a really great Radio Dave. It sounds amazing! Really nice job with the restuffing of those two capacitor cans. Great troubleshooting as always Dave! Awesome work!
Hi Gregg, thank you. It sounds very good and considering it is an early design speaker it reproduces surprisingly well. The IF transformers gave me a bit of grief, I haven't seen that before, thanks Gregg 🙂
33:25 You must have been channeling Spike Jones (or rather Red 'Swamphead' Ingle)! 🤣
Huh... Red must have copied me, how do you like that 😂
Watching puppy dogs helps with thinking? Why was I not informed of this before? It might have saved me a lot of grief over the years... Thanks for the tip Dave.
Oh yeah... that's well known fact Mark, you are welcome 😄
@@DavidTipton101 Blimey, I've been wandering through life with my eyes closed. Oh well, too late now. Cheers mate.
Hi David. Another old and interesting radio. I couldn't work out how the I F transformer suddenly became troublesome after changing a few capacitors. I suspect someone before you tried to get a better performance and not realising that the valve was weak, and it showed up after you replaced the worn out parts. Anyway well done for finding the issue. Great stuff as always. Look forward to seeing the next episode. Cheers Chris.
Thank you Chris, the IFs are a mystery, there is no doubt they had been fiddled with by someone not having the correct equipment, the scratch marks testify to that. Anyway it is one for the memory banks 👍🙂
Was getting a bit worried about you young man as not seen you around in a bit, hope you and yours are well, good to see you back.
Hi Red Shutter Photography, I put out a video every three weeks now, it's bit easier on me 🙂
Always love your restoration videos even though I'm in the USA. Can get schematics online to see many Aussie radios to
follow along with you. This one didn't disappoint since it was working until replacing parts with new and the train came off
the tracks. Put on the old thinking cap. Realign the IF transformers, duh. Learn something new thanks to you. As for using
a blowtorch in the shop ,ah no.
Thanks Steve, schematics are plentiful, I don't know how we survived before the internet. The IFs had me going, I was running out of ideas, I walked away and had a reset (puppy dog segment). That was only my mid sized blowtorch I think I should have used the big one, I needed more heat! 😂😂
Hello David. I've been waiting for your next upload. Thank you. Greetings from Fort Worth!
Greetings John in Fort Worth. Thank you for watching 🙂
Thanks for the bonus footage.
My pleasure Jay 🙂
Once again David a job well done, I'm working on a radio from the 1950s Sears silver tone
Hi Sheldon, thank you. Good luck with your Silver Tone 👍🙂
Nice job Dave. Congratulations.
Thank you My UA-cam 👍🙂
love the puppies!!! so frustrating to have a working radio then fix it and it doesn't work ..grrrrr ... but I knew you would sort it out!
Thank you chris b. The puppies signify a time out while I collect my thoughts. I appreciate your faith in me 😂😂 Cheers!
LOL at 04:41 I almost spilled my cereals... thanks for that. Great video, as usual.
Sorry about that Dejan 😀
Good morning David!
Good Morning Paul 🌅🙂
David Tipton the owners vintage Healing 448E shortwave radio Receive from 1930 is cool
Thanks Greg 👍🙂
Great job mate and I love that you're being so creative with your video editing. Doing it for a living is one thing but the more you do it and play with it, the more you uncover, for me that creativity just gives you so much joy, I'm sure it does for you as well. I love what you did with the 3D printed holders for the capacitors in the cans, they're awesome for making all those bespoke things you often just can't buy. Thank you Dave, another entertaining video.
Hi Graham, thank you. I enjoy the editing and as you say I learn something new each time. The 3D printer sits there a lot of the time but it comes in handy when I need it. Cheers Graham 🙂
Another great repair David. What an unusual name for a radio manufacturer though. That soldering iron is a monster! The detuned IF was a bit of a strange one. I suspect as you say it was marginal and changing the components tipped it over the edge. Loved the book and Trev did a nice job on the stitching. Looking forward to the next instalment. Cheers Graham
Hi Graham, a bit unusual I guess, Healing was the founder of the company, Alfred George Healing. The IFs being out was the last thing I would have thought of, i've never struck it before. The book is a limited edition 😉 Trev was very nice to let me film him working. Thanks Graham 🙂
Another great video! I especially liked the segment on sticking the leather case. I also will give working on the Midwest Dd18 radio using the technique that you used on the Healing radio. I have a dead IF stage and will try tuning it the way you did. Thanks for the tip.
Hi Nelson, thank you. The case repair was good to see. Good luck with your DB18, I checked for continuity in the IF coils as well before tuning👍🙂
Good morning, Dave. I always learn something, when I watch you.Top notch work. too!
Thank you David 😀
Hi David - I so love your radio expeditions - so well presented and a real pleasure to follow. Thank you so much for sharing with us all
Thank you Stephen and thanks for watching 😀
Hey David, another project thank God...I was needing some more tuition and this vid was just the ticket...! Love how you have such cool fixes for various scenarios, like stuffing those old cap cans; just awesome. That Trev the leather guy sure has some skills and patience, long may his services flourish. Thanks for sharing, and that little trannie came up great...Stay well, Ed..uk..😀😀
Hi Ed, thank you. Stuffing cap cans has become a regular pastime for me it seems, it's good when they come out nicely. Trev is a real gentleman, inviting me into his shop to film was amazing. The Philco is on the shelf and looks great 😊
That was a bit of a challenge, strange how the I.F. suddenly changed though, but looks like it's okay now. I've never re-stuffed capacitors, because I haven't done any radios with those type of capacitors. An interesting dial, looking forward to seeing it working.
Hi Nigel, it challenged a few hours and a number of hairs out of me 😄 a very unusual fault. That style of cap was used in the 30s, I've had a few now. Thanks Nigel 🙂
I feel your pain! I have a shelf of radios that worked until I fixed them, hopefully to be revisited in the future...
Oh dear, that's no good Vic. Still, it's interesting when you come back to a job with a fresh mind and find the problem quickly. Good luck Vic 👍🙂
@@DavidTipton101 Exactly!
Great stuff David... as usual I really enjoy your little quips as you work. You had me in stitches (and not the ones shown at the end) when you were using the blow torch to soften/melt the solder on the can... I do wonder if you should have have gone in for comedy instead of radio restoration! Looking forward to the next session. Keep smiling.
Thank you Kenneth, I should find a better way of removing the lids off the cans but it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining 😄
That Healing needed a healing.
It gets healed in part two and goes on for a full and happy life 😉
Very enjoyable to watch, as always. Seeing Trevor in action was quite interesting as well. Good to see professionals doing their specialties.
I agree Volktales, I enjoyed watch Trev do his stuff too. Thanks 👍🙂
Great video again excited for part two.
Hi Ripley, thank you 🙂
Shalom, David. I hope you are doing well. The music and flashing tube light was a hoot! Take care.
Shalom Otto, I'm good thanks. It was a hoot but I had only bought that valve that morning 😂
Another lovely old tube radio rescued successfully! A pleasure to watch, as always. Thanks for sharing, David - just what we needed!
Thanks alpcns, it come up very nice in the end... next week 😊
That was great David, as usual, your skills with old radios are fantastic to watch. The added video of Trevor using his leather craftsmanship was also great to watch. It was particularly interesting for me because a few years ago one of my nephews had done something of a family history tree and I grew up never having met any of my grandparents. But what was found was that my grandfather on dads side was actually recorded on my dads birth certificate for his occupation, was that of a " Journeyman leatherworker ". Which basically meant, he worked day to day where he could pick up work as a horse leather worker, making and repairing leather things for horses. That was back in the late 1800s early 1900s.in Liverpool. My father was born in 1912 and grandad served in the 1st world war. It was interesting to see Trevor's hard worked hands and fingers made me wonder if my grandfather had hands just like that? Thanks David, thank you very much. 😎👍
Thank you Graham, Trevor was very helpful allowing me to film him. I would imagine your grandad had much tougher hands than Trevor, he would have done much of his work by hand back then and on the road as well, not much machinery at hand 👍🙂
I love that Aussie version of the teledial
It's a good selling point I imagine.
It certainly was an odd problem with the IF going out, good troubleshooting. Your ability to re-manufacture or come up with workarounds for outdated parts is brilliant and inspiring. Trevor should start a UA-cam channel.
It would be nice of your friend to send a photograph of the radio complete in the cabinet.
Hi Mack. An odd problem indeed. I'll mention to Trevor about UA-cam videos. The owner sent some photos of the radio in the cabinet for part 2👍🙂
Hi Dave, it was good to see that Paul Carlson gave you a mention in his recent video. The Healing company brings back a few memories, they had a large building here in the Adelaide CBD with a trade sales counter. I the early 1960s dad used to take me there when he was buying valves or other components. I remember they had a display professional audio equipment, Byer tape machines and Commonwealth Electronics transcription turntables. I was six or seven at the time and thought that the equipment was cool, and still do.
Hi Peter, I'm sooo behind in watching other peoples videos, going away for a month upset things. I will get to Paul's video shortly. Back in the day you could go to all the manufacture's factories and the parts desk, they were good times for that. I can imagine being smitten by the equipment in the display, all shiny and new. They were pretty cool alright 👍🙂
Great work, as always, Dave! Too bad that leaky coupling cap wore out the 42 tube.
Like the Troggs, when it comes to old radios, you make everything GROOVY! 😊
Thanks Super Het, I suspect that is what happened to the 42. Gotta love the Troggs 😀
Your video's always lighting up my day. Great job!
Thank you 1959Berre 🙂
Another crackin job David, very enjoyable video thanks for posting!
Thank you James 😊
Hi Dave, Whenever i watched your video, i imagine what will be the outcome after restroration but always proved wrong, because your restroration skills gives much better outcome than my imagination. keep going. Thanks for sharing.
Namaste Manoj, thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them 🙂
Hi David, just when you thought things were going well something comes along and throws you. The leather work was fascinating I must say. I guess leather workers will not die out as long as people ride horses, shoes are another matter. I guess we are training young people up, sad if we aren't.
Hi Andrew, the fault had me dumbfounded, I spent two hours finding that. I guess there are leather workers still but I bet it's hard getting the young interested in it 🤔
David Tipton your utube videos are awesome 📻😎😎😎😎😎📻👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Greg 👍🙂
The video and sounds edits are epic. Keep one going.
Thank you K. Jager 🙂
Another innovative repair. Thanks for sharing !
Thank you Le 😀
I 'm coming back from vacation , and David is working non - stop ! Greetings from Russia , as always interesting !
Hi Pavel and greetings. Thank you 🙂
Another great video David! Thanks for sharing it with us and look forward to Part 2. take care!
Thank you John, take care 🙂
Enjoyed seeing the leather stitching. You get the feeling that sought of thing thing won't be happening much longer, hope I'm wrong.
I tend to agree with you Radio-Ged but there is still a market for leather good so maybe 🙂
Very nice video as usual. I can picture a milenial scratching his head: "Telephone dial style?"
Haha... you might be right Wayne 😄
Wish I had a Trev round the corner!
He's very handy 🙂
Love your methods! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Joseph 🙂
Thank you for this entertaining video David. However, I must confess to some jealousy after witnessing the impressive size of your soldering iron!
Hi Ben, thanks, glad you enjoyed it. The large soldering compensates for some other things that are not quite so big 😳
Good work sir thank you for sharing this video.
Thanks for watching Nath 🙂
Good to see you again Dave. Or your hands at least.
I always love a good re stuff. There was oodles of room in those cans.
You could have fit all the caps in both and run cables around the board for the minimalist look.
Haha... all the caps in the two cans would have been something and quite a surprise for the next guy 😂 Thanks 1974UTuber.
A good job, well done David.
Thank you glenbr1 🙂
I was going to request an episode on Blutooth addition.
Really looking forward to your next instalment.
I read your mind dogribmoon 😄
nice job dave ,hope your feeling well
Hi Tina, thanks, I'm well now thank you 🙂
Hi David. Bluetooth on a 38 Radio. Thats different. Looking forward to part 2.take care friend
Hi Phillip, yes, we will see if it works or not next week but it will add an extra use to the radio if it does. Take care 😊
David her zamanki gibi güzel iş gerçekten izlemekten zevk alıyorum teşekkürler
Mutlu'ya teşekkür ederim. Beğenmene sevindim 😊
Another Underway Refurbishment David a real old timer a 1938 Model I like the Heavy Method of repair using the Blow Torch on electrolytes Cans but that was solved using Plumbing Iron, I like the segment with Trevor the Leather Worker Hands you see by hands he does hard work the Repair of the Leather Case for Radio was excellent and his comments how they made in Times Gone By was enlightening a excellent Part 1 I look forward to episode 2, Regard Ian,
Hi Ian, ahh yes the blowtorch, go hard or go home I say 😂 I had a great time with Trevor, he was most accommodating to allow me to video him working, I assumed the cases were originally stitched by machine, I was surprised he said they were done by hand. Thanks Ian.
Save that sparky tube for Halloween decorations.
That would look good at the front of the house 👻
I know how you feel when you seem to have broken something.
I've had times where i've stopped something dead, it worked before i touched it.
The sinking heart feeling is never nice.
Years ago i had a vcr to repair, but while i was turning the chassis over my jumper
sleeve caught one of the super fragile ferrite video heads, snapped off :-(
I didn't have any way to buy the double head drum assembly.
I had a stack of part worn oddball video heads, so i eyeballed one ferrite head.
It took me all night to mount the head on the head drum.
The ferrite head could twist left or right, in or out, and flat or lifted.
The head could only be set correctly at the manufacture. (critical)
My bodge worked!! record/play/tracking all seemed spot on.
i went to bed, the panic was over.
However there was something i didn't know about the gap angle in the ferrite head.
One head gap was seven degrees clockwise and the other anticlockwise.
I had picked the correct 7 degree ferrite without knowing, i was so lucky.
I learned a lesson, wear a T shirt with no sleeves lol.
Sorry about the extra long waffle :-(
Hi zx8401ztv, I have broken lots of things in my time. I wasn't too worried about this, I knew I would find the fault eventually. Your broken head story is another matter, that would have been devastating but you got it working again and that is uplifting so it all equals out 😊
Another cracking episode David, thanks. Hope all good with you. Excellent look at the leather repair job on the Philco. Don't know if you get Repair Shop in Oz, a BBC TV show here in the UK? With his leather working skills your mate could join the team. Cheers
Hi Ken thank you, I'm good thanks. We get and I watch all the repair shop episodes, we have a local version now, but not as good as the UK version 🙂
That is a nice and detailed work as always your videos are always very interestind, by the way I like the ringtone of your smartphone😃
Thank you Franklin, The chicken dance ringtone... it never gets old 😄
Excelente trabalho nos Eletrolíticos...!!!!!
Obrigado Fábio 🙂
Hello Dave. I guess this video shows the importance of alignment, especially with components drifting. I think you should have kept the 'Dave's dancing with fire' vale. BR Mark
Hi Mark, I agree, I was clasping at straws when I checked the alignment but was running out of ideas. Haha...Dancing with fire, sums it up alright 😂 Thanks Mark.
Always love watching your videos you always go the extra mile plus being a retro atheist as c64 and computers I taken some of the knowledge from your videos and used it.
Thank you HonestGamer, C64, that was my first computer, I wonder what happen to it 🤔 I'm glad you can use ideas from my videos.
@@DavidTipton101 problem is people are not skilled in the old ways like TV repair all the stores all gone since everything is a throwaway generation I have turned away so many broken monitors with flyback issues I'm not skilled to repair one at best a novice
