Wow, and you found a great oldies station!
Thanks Carl! I just got one of these today for Christmas from my wife! I love old phones AND old radios, the best of both worlds. She bought it at Goodwill...
very cool....that would definitely go with the decor in some of my relatives homes...and good luck with the move...I bet we'll all miss the wallpaper
Thank you
Gracias Carl por su vídeo. Tengo uno igual y lo estoy reparando.Saludos
I've only known the floral wallpaper for about 20 minutes and I already miss it
The black cylinder thing is a filter capacitor. Thanks for the great video!
Omg I have one for 30 years I always thought it was an old phone, it's been in my basement wall, wife want to throw it out, I said no😁, thank you for the video. Btw it works!!!!
Nice video, Carl. The top holes with the brass screens are vents to allow the heat from the tubes to escape. These fittings were common on tube equipment, especially old "suitcase" styled record players. The long black cylinder is called a "filter capacitor" and it basically filters out AC hum. That radio is a nice piece of vintage tech. But here's a tip -- dust and wax it to preserve it because it is unique.
Thanks. I thought it was unique as well until I searched eBay and found ten of them for sale!
Yes, but it is still unique because of the design. How many other radios were designed that way? It is unique, but not rare. These things also must have been enormously popular at the time for so many of them to still be around.
Electrolytic capacitors filter AC hum???? Hahahahahaha dang it
YOUR AN AMAZING UA-camR PLEASE KEEP IT UP IM DEFINITELY SUBSCRIBING!!!!!!!!

RIP wallpaper.
I have one, and if you turn the dial all the way to the high end, it says, "police". I do like the wallpaper.
