Valves are still wonderful devices. They give wonderful sound to stereo. They are in some of my test equipment among other things and still provide good and useful service. This video shows the great care taken to make the fine valves that I enjoy even today with some of them built as far back as the 40's and considerably predating me!
The US really is a shadow of its former self, this can be shown in even the smallest things like the delivery of information. Old documentaries are far superior, and on average people of that time were more intelligent/skilled on a per individual basis. Now all that’s on TV is hate and Joe Biden tripping up AND down stairs
Friend all good. I have a radio from this Radio Shack DX 398 and it worked very well, but now I have problems. It takes time to correctly synchronize the clock hours, when it synchronizes hours behind it is always wrong. Oque voce acha that could be. Any help will be greatly appreciated, obligated to all.
can ya help me out, I need an image of the back of the front panel. I had removed the cover, to repair the meter light, and accidently pulled off the 2 wires that go from the volume pot to the circuit board. problem is, i don't know where they connect to on the board,.... simply a photo would help. Thank you Dan kb7uxe
Lead molds, Asbestos filler material, the smell of phenolics in the air and absolutely no dust collection. One has to commend the optimism here. Still, it is a unique material. To think that at one point almost complete cars were made from this material (Trabant).
I have a 1954 Australian made Hotpoint radio with original valves. Still works. It's amazing when the first electronic Computers were built using valves. One valve was equivalent to one transistor in the first transistor Computers. Now billions of transistors can fit on a tiny piece of silicon no bigger than a finger nail.
It is also worth noting that the video is, in fact, a film, recorded using optics and chemistry, with a sound-track which was almost certainly recorded for playback, on the film strip, for pickup and playback by a photo-sensitive valve.
A friend of my mothers worked at this factory. Imagine my surprise as a young electronics know-it-all to be given a comprehensive lesson on how valves worked, by someone I looked on as an auntie!
7:07 sick animation coming lmao look at the words jiggle a bit when they stopped. Old stuff is so funny. 54 years before I was born if my math is right. I don’t even thing great gma was more than 5. Idk her birth year she died a couple years ago now and was like 92 or 93
