This Channel is dedicated to the Antique Radio Restoration Enthusiast and anybody else who has a general interest in these old beauties. This Channel also includes other types of electronics repair and topics that interest me. There may also be experimental videos that I post from time to time playing around. Its a education channel as well as an entertainment channel and I really hope someone finds something interesting or usefull in it. So bring your favorite beverage and pull up a seat and lets work on something. Thanks
I bought a 2022 Marshall 50 watt JVM amplifier for my guitar. And that's almost exactly the sound I was getting out of the amp when I turned it on after letting it sit for about a year. It took the engineer five weeks to figure out that it wasn't a tube or a resistor but a silver Micah capacitor that went bad. From what I've read those capacitors should last at least 10 years. Why the thing went out I don't know. In the 3 years that I had the amp it was hardly played. But now that the silver Mica capacitor has been replaced the amp sounds like brand new. The noise was so bad it sounded like 15 rabid raccoons fighting with a badger. 🙏😃🕊️❤️ That signal tracer looks like a good investment
Why can't the raccoons stop fighting. Whatever happened to the brotherly love amongst raccoons. What happens is, they start fighting and the whole damn amplifier falls apart. 🙏🕊️❤️
I'm sorry, not a very skilled cinematographer. I get into what I'm doing and forget about the camera. I need a small monitor hooked up to the camera that I can keep an eye on my framing.
Nah, that poor scope was just to far eaten up with corrosion and the problem for me was the replacement transisters just weren't matched too good. I still want another scope like that.
Awsome! Thank you. I do a lot of restoration on old tube amplifiers and phonographs. and some antique radios. So now I have learned this and now learned to have patience , this is going to be a nice improvement on my work. Five Star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Video !! 👍
So, basically you're looking for leakage between the primary and secondary. I remember doing something like that when I worked for the DoD checking sonar cables with a Megger.
The power cord retrierver was like the old Electrolux vacuum cleaners. As a young'n I would pull the cord out of mama's vacuum cleaner just to watch it fly back inside.
I suspect the noise in my s38e may be caused by morethan bad mica but due to dirty power in the new, poorly sheiled wire. On the other hand, the volume is very poor.
The push by the US government to outlaw all incandescent light bulbs is a "trojan horse". 😒 They claim it's all about energy efficiency, a cleaner environment, and longer bulb lifespan..... But that is totally not why they're forcing these LED bulbs upon the American people. I believe their true intentions are more nefarious than people would like to believe. Not to mention they give me awful headaches..... 🤦♀️ And apparently I'm not alone in this. 🤷♀️
Some guy on fleebay in Florida is selling a nice clean remastered meter scale for your EV-10. Cost about $24 shipped. He says printed on quality paper but you would have to cut excess edges off to fit it on exactly. Steve
Hello my friend? if you just cut out like 50% of your bla bla bla bull chit you could have a great video! People want to see you repair old radios not listen to 30mins of bull crap i got this i got that bla bla bla! watch glasslinger videos he/she make great video with very little bull crap!!!
Jajaja, It's funny to me that when things get difficult and you don't want the disaster to be seen, you forget to turn on the camera... Even so, your contribution is greatly appreciated, it is a pleasure to restore these giants of old radio. Greetings!!
It was worth it to me because its what I wanted to do and it's sitting beside me running now in my office monitoring one of my 2 way radios I listen two.
They made these in the early 1950s. The EV10A differes from the earlier EV10S as the schematics are completely different and yours could have came with an RF probe with had a 9002 miniature tube in it. It allowed a voltage measurement of up 60 KV! Lazy Electrons has a site showing how he restored his EV10A. Prayers for your wife's speedy recovery Sam. Steve from IL
Precision Apparatus Co made instruments with odd combinations of tester functions. Take the Precision Model 612 tube tester. Not only does it tests tubes, but it also tests "condensers" (caps) and dry cell batteries. Prayers for your wife's quick recovery....
Praying for your wife for Jesus healing touch from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. We are asking for God to give you both the peace that passes all understanding as you walk through this time. May you sense His presence and His Everlasting Arms holding you both. We ask this in Jesus Name, Amen.
My thoughts and prayers are with you for you and your wife Sam. The hobby be danged, just get the medical situation cleared out and go forward from there. May God bless you both .
You and your wife need to study the king James Bible and make sure your both born again, judgement is coming friend. Sad to hear that, am praying for you and your wifey in the Lord and Saviour Jesus' Christ name. I would never do chemo, it will ruin your body, the person gets what's called "chemo brain", alot of that dope is now made from left overs from the abortion industry, my Wife and I will just die praying before we partake of any death of the unborn, doctors trick people into being more disgusting than the vile p3d0, I say this in love friend, if you believe in God then pray and let Jesus heal rather than going to the satanist doctors that will poison your wife. Doctors are just modern day witch doctors and false prophets and liars, I take care of my temple and don't let the medical priests desecrate it with animal and people products it's very disgusting and unclean, that's why you see their image that is representative of their false god mercury or hermies, the staff with the snake(s) and wings, yeah that is to let you know they are nothing more than baal worshipers. Don't apologize for Jesus Christ, nothing to be sorry about nor ashamed of, to hell with the world, LOVE the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm a jerk but I tell you these things in love friend, my family will be praying for you and yours.
Praying for the Lord’s spirit to flow richly over your wife, yourself and all of your household. May the Lord give you peace and healing body, mind and soul. We ask this in Jesus holy name, thy will be done. Amen 🙏
Praying for you and your wife. I can relate to what you're going through, as Ive been through a similar journey with my late wife. My heart breaks for you brother. Jesus knows exactly what you're going through....
