1938 Philips | Old Radio Restoration 

It was going reasonably well until it came time to spray paint the wood. Then, it ruined everything.

I've never seen such clean dirt. The paint slpashes weren't yellowed and came off immediately. So i guess, this is another de-restoration video.

5 bucks says that radio doesn't work.

Nice double-feature! You are a true craftsman. I am working on a 1950s Silvertone Radio that I think only needs the switch repaired/replaced.

Soap on WOOD?

felicidades por el video y el trabajo ,Es un placer observar su trabajo y la forma en que esta filmado ,Muchas gracias desde España

Creo que desmerece al haberla pintado de negro.

Gawd, I miss Radio Shack!

Sandpaper roll in the toilet was the best. 😂

Hi dude : Why you did not cover the chaseis with a venner wood to be glossy and shiny !

7:45 Shaker can really?

We have a 1940 Philco AM radio. It still works too. I take the tubes out that don't light up to me local General Store which still has a free Tube Tester and a cabinet full off old Vacuum radio tubes.

That was really great!! Weird but great… Such artistry from deadly components… I think I have used all of them when I was in the military… such memories. Thanks for sharing your experience and master skills!!!

Even if it doesn't work, it's a nice museum piece, and a good example for someone to study old electronics.

Primero que todo felicitaciones la Radio espectacular y tu lampara guerrera muy original y excelente diseño con la cadena 👍👍👍👍Saludos desde Venezuela ciudad de Maracaibo 👍👍👍

Radio 📻 works?

So fake.

Congratulations on the "yes"!

I remember as a kid my dear ol mum worked for Phillips and they threw awesome Xmas parties mum worked on circuit boards for TVs that particular sterogram we had so to see one fully restored including Artistic licence man I,d have in my house for sure you did a outstanding job McCormack and Son,s Restorations of Antique and Vintage furniture Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

Did the radio actually work in the end, presumably all the capacitors and most of the resistors would have needed replacement, were the valves OK?

NOICE

Acrylic back?? Black plastic "fabric" without even a single adornment??? Pfffffft, I would've never sent you my grandpa's vintage red Philco 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ Plus, that "WC" thing was totally unnecessary and disturbing... 😡😡 Wanna make jokes, breaking the ice?? Great, I love jokes!! But please at the right moments... 🤔🤔

So youn did a half harted job on the radio cabinet. What about the radio chassie it's self, 60 odd years old and most of the capacitors and electrolitics let alone the resistors would have been way off spec, let alone the wiring around the chassie. Is it any wonder that you have mains hum . There are ways of bringing a very old radio back from the dead, and sir, your way is far from correct and if any thing is down right dangerous. Take my advise, stay away from things you apear to know nothing about in repairing.

Running that old radio without replacing all electrolytic and paper capacitors is electronic suicide. The electrolytic caps especially can short, smoke, burn out a rectifier and/or a mains transformer. That hum was worrisome.

You call that a restauration? I call it a tasteless happening. Poor radio... Better stick to hand grenades.

Bro really took out a whole birds nest in the beginning

I thought for a moment you were going to blow the radio up with ther grenade.

How to completely destroy a rare piece of pre ww2 radio history. You should have left it to someone who can do this properly

Man, I just loved your work. Really creative and the whole video is cool and shows you're talented and entertaining master.

You were supposed to give some maintenance on the electronics!

I like design of this radio..very much..

pero sintoniza?

You guys do such awesome work thank you for the videos

Wtf did i just watch? What part of this was restored?

Very Interesting… but, WHY?😮

Parabéns, que linda restauração e quanta criatividade com elementos tão cruéis.

Great job for the radio !! Wonderful !!

Przepiękne jest to odrestaurowane bardzo stare radio ale szkoda tego starego geanata pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍

Könnte man das auch mit einer Panzermine machen?

Fantastic job. Really amazing videography 👍

Just stunning…

A wood working tip for future wood projects. When gluing somthing, and you want it to not slip around. Use less glue, and then and add a few grains of table salt. The table salt will act like Gravel on ice and prevent the pieces slipping around. And it will be absorved in to the wood after a few seconds. Giving you enough time to clamp everything. Makes life easier.

Philips - Bomba.

Leider nicht Original Restauriert.

Si bien hay algunas secuencias muy simpáticas y de buen humor a lo largo de este magnífico video, lo cual lo hace refrescante, aquí estamos frente a un verdadero artista y no precisamente humorista ni mago. Este Señor hace Arte en la restauración y reparación y por si fuera poco, la lámpara es todo un símbolo.

عمل رائع هل يمكن ان تساعدني لاعادة تشغيل جهاز راديو قديم للعمل بشكل جيد👍👍

That’s the coolest lamp. I’ve ever seen!

A while ago, I repaired one of these old Philips radio's which contained multiple tubes....... Once done..........not a sound to be heard but the illumination was great !!! 😂😂

Amazing. That looks real good after renovation. 👍👍

Ufff. Casi se estaba deshaciendo... 🙀🙀🙀

Respect 👌

Omg❤❤❤❤❤❤

🇻🇪👍🏻🤘💪

i have this propblem with old radios. they dontt even need to be so old. just analog radios. the problem is that old days. the analog radio channels had a wider bandwith than digital bandwith. meaning. when you hear modern radio stations today. thei analog radion recieving bandwith is greater than the radio station sends out. ending with a lot off white noise with the music. i would put a digital radio in it.

Thanks for showing me this thing. This was just exactly precisely what I was looking for, of course. I just hope that I promise to stay tuned for this educational program. It's very rare for me to ever catch this experience. 👌

Fantastic

Always good to see deaf mute people who live in their silent world get on with their lives doing positive things

"Had a good week?" "Oh well, you know... just the casual sidegrinding a handgrenade, nothing spectacular..." "......" 😮

I think the hardest part would have been applying the “dirt” before restoration Waste of time

👍👏🌹

Hi, may I ask you what is the product you are using at 06:30 min ? Thanks.

thật lạ mắt.//'

Parabéns! Seu vídeo é baste criativo.

Where is the real sound?

i love a good restoration but i see a radio like that and i think ''an entire digital home entertainment system could fit in that case''

Very beautiful great jop you the best

über das löten müssen wir uns mal unterhalten, das ist alles aber nicht löten!!

Do you find manuals on the ones you work on?

I liked the radio.

That is the coolest lamp i ever seen as well so much that i am half tempted to go find a chain and old light and a grenade from local ammo and arms store always support local places verse some other state or country. Re-create this masterpiece make few of them two of them one for each end table resale would not be hard.

Amazing... Bravo

Hello bhaiya please

I love this lamp❤❤
