Nice little clock radio. Love the sound. Those old table tops where the best. Love them. I love that we all have the determination to keep radio history alive. Great job on the repairs. Cheerz...... 😊
I've always appreciated the quality of Motorola's Golden Voice radios, and this is no exception. While not a big fan of their PLAcir - type radios, their point-to-point constructed items were of the utmost quality. Thanks, Doug, for sharing this with us.
I love table top radios ,I surprise the transistors were good considering its age of looks and sounds very clean ,I prefer tube radios ,but that one sounds amazing,great job.I just found your today ,I love watching repair videos so much to learn .
Great video and another professional repair Doug. I knew this radio was going to have great sound as soon as I saw that nice big Golden Voice speaker in there, but I was really surprised when I saw the nice wooden cabinet. I thought for sure it was going to have a molded plastic cabinet like the old "All American Five" radios had. Very nice!
You might as well change al! the caps out while it open,this is the first one I ever seen useing tube sockets for transistors,I wonder if any other company did that too.me I rather have had the tubes,but I love tube radios ,thank goodness their are some.excellent repair techs out their .it's great seeing these radio are being saved ,I am finding a lot of collectors and clubs ,and info out there,the more I get into this hobby ,some people are nice enough to talk with and help you ,with the info a lot of us need .nice video
Very nice radio, typical of products made in USA. It seems to be a good performer on FM. Many AM/FM radios I've worked on from that time period were better at sensitivity on AM than FM. Some had minimal sensitivity on FM and picking up aircraft communications was a problem on FM.
Neat old radio. Off the subject, I'd like to see another video of your old cars cruising around town playing some of those good instrumental tunes of the 60's.
I have an RCA clock radio model RZS 484L and mine just needed the man filter cap replaced the others I left because the radio plays good with the original and has for 8 years
Tube sockets for transistors creative engineering? Nah, sounds more like "Solid state from now on? What the H are we going to do with our stock of 5 million tube sockets?" Anyway great videos. Keep it up!
A rule of Thumb Chris Cuff on UA-cam told me when you change the capacitors never leave an old filter cap in circuit if it was to short it could be bad
Now Japan makes some high quality electrolytics. I can't say that about some Chinese made electrolytics. That set sounds WONDERFUL! Motorola and Zenith were at top of there game. They had to be good they had some tuff competition from Panasonic and Sony.
I've watched several of your videos and am subscribed to you and I've got to ask... Do you have some sort of AM transmitter playing that beautiful 1960's symphony music? I've noticed it in some of your other videos. If not, I need to move to Chicago! No stations like that in Oregon :( Cheers!
Never never leave old filter caps in a circuit that's has new Capacitors... Chris Cuff on UA-cam says if the filter cap shirts if can cause damage to the other components
I think it's genius how Motorola decided to mount the transistors in the tube sockets....think of all of the money they saved by using an existing chassis.
My Motorola Clock Radio model no. TC22EW Serial no. 50196. Which I was able to clean and made the dial and volume work, but not the clock. I tinkered with it but could not get the movement to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated/ thanks!
If that filter cap shorts it can take out the whole transform filter caps capacitors electrolytic caps.... My rule is simple always install a new filter cap never leave a old filter cap in circuit
I was surprised to see how beautiful that looked like it was in the cabinet. Glad to see it working.

Dang! Such a simple fix. I wish all fixes on vintage electronics were this easy. Fantastic sounding table radio.
Awesome repair and radio. I have a Motorola stereo from that era that had the exact same issue. Well made stuff

The clock is fantastic.. beautiful piece, sounds great.
Great repair and a lovely set - great sound quality and well made to boot.
Cost worthy measure to use left over tube chassis' for change to transistors. Always good to see a video from you!
Nice clean radio. Nice repair. Sound is really good too.
Totally amazing! Troubleshooting a receiver with no test equipment. Well done and I thank you for the lesson.

That'a a nice clock radio ! With Motorola quality to boot. Nice repair
That radio sounded great! Nice song at the end of the video.
Your work is amazing Doug....
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I enjoy watching and learn a lot too.

Excellent, thanks for making the video. More please :)
Marvelous! You are doing great work!

Very nice radio. It has excellent sound.
Thank for the video... I'm learning a lot from your videos....
This is an interesting video repair, it is objetiv and precise.
Do you repair things for other people as a side business? Or just for your own personal collection hobby?
AY, nice receiver! Love the oversize speaker. She's a lovely one, too.
I'd love to have that one.
Good vids. Subscribed.
I like that Radio ,& Zenith too !
Nice Clock Radio!! I usually have one is the 1970's or 80's GE Alarm Clock with Radio Only with an old clock style. =)
I have an RCA clock radio model RZS 484L and mine just needed the man filter cap replaced the others I left because the radio plays good with the original and has for 8 years
The best radios were made here in Chicago. Motorola and Zenith and a few more.
Another great video.....

another one fixed for years of enjoyment instead of the trash heap

An interesting look into an American-made radio. 📻

Very strange, I have never seen one done that way before

Did you drop a leg of the existing caps when you jumpered in the new caps?
If that filter cap shorts it can take out the whole transform filter caps capacitors electrolytic caps.... My rule is simple always install a new filter cap never leave a old filter cap in circuit
Hello Doug? Are you ok? Noticed you not posted any new videos in a while....
60 cycles the change over to hertz was 1970
The rule thumb test all caps & Capacitors never replace capacitors and lever a old filter capacitor in circuit
Silicon diode go bad on radios a rule I learned replace Calictiors and filter caps
шипения и треска очень боюсь!!!!!...но тут шума совсем немножко!!!!!!!
Nice radio
