NOTE PLEASE READ**Due to the length and size of this video I had to save in a lower resolution. Sorry if the quality is not as good as usual.

Buddy The care and attention you devote to this repair is outstanding. Truly a man that loves what you do and your gentle, respectful approach to each repair is obvious. This CRF 320 has many more useful years ahead of is because of you. You are amazing. Mel

Outstanding video! I love the trace transfer - brilliant!

Thank you so much for sharing this video, it will help me a lot on the 320 restoration...

No worries video quality is fine. I’d watch your videos even if I needed a magnifying glass 😀 Another great video and lots of helpful information. Thanks for the fun Buddy 👍👍

Excellent Video, and Carlsons Lab also, this Helps with my Work on one of these with many problems Again Thank you !

Great Video. Would love to see more on making circuit boards using paint. Thanks for sharing and catch you next time...

Hey! Great Job Buddy! The PCB looks great too.

Many thanks for the video!. After a year I am resuming the work in one!

Thanks for the video, I also watched it in one sitting hi, I enjoy the way you approach your repair jobs and your method of work. I would like to have a go at making my own PCBs using the method described regards Mike

I really enjoyed the video Buddy. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing

Wow, popcorn, redwine and beer, perhaps have to pause it, and see the rest tomorrow :)

Your first full length feature film. ;) Nice work. 73

Buddy You Da Man Great video Thank You Great to learn something new every day

Very nice job Buddy - enjoyed the video and also really interested in the way you made that circuit board. I might try that myself sometime. 73, Bill

Buddy; Very nice understandable video. That's a really nice rig you worked on here. Seems like you gave it your best as all the projects you work on. Ps great suggestion you gave me to clean corrosion from terminals using vinegar. Thanks much. Angelo.

hello my friend i love the way you explain thinng and i learn a lot of your videos and thank you for that.... i belive you want a better video quality...you deserve this... best wishes best regards to you and your family

Excellent work, one thing that puzzles me is why Sony chose to make the VFO reversed.

Love the video Buddy; and I made it all the way in one sitting. Please do the video on circuit board layout tools I need all the help I can get. 73's Buddy KG7SSB

Just started watching your videos.(I've been through the first three)I'm thankful that someone is willing to teach this as there are no schools in my area that offer such. I was wondering what your view was on the future(or non-future) of being a cb tech or even just an electronic technician for that matter?

Buddy, I'm sure you noticed the LED's give a harsh or spotlight effect. I've found that if you take some fine steel wool or very fine sand paper and scuff the lens up on the LED's. It gives a little better soft light bulb look. Good video. Thanks!

Looks like I need to get some popcorn, set back and watch the full feature film. :-)

Hi Sir, Greetings from Prague, Czechoslovakia. Love your video something very relaxing and soothing to wathc right before bedtime. Question for your Sir? I own a Crf 330 one with the tape deck. Well, bout a month back the digital display started flickering and then last week it went out finally and has not come back on. Analog which i fixed with by changing that round spool gear works fine. I get the stationgs but I miss my red light. Can I ask you what that might be before I pull it apart, or carry this beast around the corner to the radio shop. Too bad you are not right around the corner I have another and I would drop it off with you. The guy here well he mainly only works on Czech, Russian and German stuff. His jaw dropped that day when I cam in the door with this. I'm probably the only one in the country with one of these. I hauled it over here from the Netherlands. Anyway hope you are well and I'll watch your video for the 4th time soon. Greetings from central Europe.

Hi dear i love your work was perfect i have same radio and sw ring gear is broken im wondering how find gear if you please advice me thank you so much with greeting from australia

With the new leds there is a concentration of light in the centre with very little at the edges. Have you tried rubbing the leds with sandpaper to give a more diffuse light?

Hi and thanks for the video! Few years later it may be a bit late to ask but, i purchased the exact same replacement gears you have and i cant just press it on without damaging the gear's teeth. Did you use some kind of tools to do that or did it just slide in nicely for you? 1:04:00

Great video! I'd enjoy more instruction on circuit board design & making. At least you got lucky on the Antenna tuner only being jammed with that broken wire tie. Plus could you share with me the name and brand of contact cleaner your use?

Do you service radio I hv a Sony icf 320 which needs servicing let me know please

The link to making circuit boards in paint cannot be accessed. Is there another source for this useful tool?

Beautiful radios, bad metals and plastics in Asian radios, another example is the Taiwan built Zenith. No comparison to the quality of the US D7000Y made by Zenith in Chicago, good work friend.

Where do you get parts for this Sony?

i dont know if it happened in recording or transcoding but there are a few pretty long sections that are a mess of artifacting. just thought you might want to make sure theres nothing weong with your camera.

Buddy, can you ask the owner from where he got the gears? Mine are gone too. Like to hear! Thanks in advance. Ruud from Holland

Do a video on paint PCB design please

You have to be part electronics technician and part watchmaker to work on that radio Buddy. You also need patience of a saint. You have to wonder what Sony was thinking about when they designed that thing and what their intended market was. I think they only made it for two years and the price was over $2K. Great job on it. I now know enough to know that I don't want one. 73 Doug.

@58:46 please start using some good quality moisturising hand cream. Your hands are your most valuable tools and it's not good to see tools that are not looked after.

I have this radio , CRF 320 Sony , it’s needs a full service etc, can you please send me your address and postcode please , many thanks Phil

That old foam can become corrosive as well.
