This video is "right on". I looked up Al-Qiyāmah to see what it translates to. It means THE RESERECTION ! How appropriate. ---------> Al-Qiyāmah (Arabic: القيامة, *“The Rising Of The Dead”, “The Resurrection”)* is the seventy-fifth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran with 40 verses (ayat).[1]

shango066 I’m way ahead of you there. I have been reading Revelation (and the rest of the Bible) since I was a kid. Been a Carlin fan since then, too. I also read a good bit of the Quran. I even taught myself Spanish.
Shango I think you're 100% correct but not because the person didn't appreciate it. This radio would go through batteries like pouring water out of a boot and those batteries were expensive. If the person that got the radio really did enjoy it likely they would have bought a fully transistorized radio to replace it. The battery cost on a normal AA C D or 9-volt battery was so much less then that 45 volt and especially the 4 volt Mercury plus the exponential run time differential versus a full transistor set. A lot of those sets were for presentation or keepsakes. there is one cool thing about it though is that is the only transistor radio crosley ever made. The dented in grill is not normal but I have seen it on many units.
I can hear to at least 17Khz, and I’m 40. I’ve used ear protection all my life, though. My father was 96% deaf in one ear, and about 50% deaf in the other. I didn’t want to end up that way. He was in the Army, then worked in a factory, and hunted all his life.
Hi and thanks so much for another great video. This type of radio was all the rage back here in the UK way back in the 50s. I think they were usually larger though, with the option of running them from the AC mains when at home to save the batteries for outside use. I think I might actually have one though right at the back of a long, long closet under my stairs. I need to carry out an expedition in there to find it. You're right, I'm thousands of miles away from you and I heard the report that the cop worked in a club with George Floyd a few years ago. Keep safe and carry one work the good work.
I believe those models were given out to students at graduation time from some private religious schools in the early 1960s. It reminds me of the portable RCA flip open battery powered tube AM radio I had years ago but couldn't find a 90 ~ volt B+ battery. Please keep your candor and comments coming! It still sounds like a Crosley!
You are the second one this month to work on a Crosley Radio. He use to own a radio station in Cincinnati called WLW 700. At one time that station would run 500,000 watts and I was told a radio could hear it all over the USA. He started building radio so that people would tune his station in. They are videos of the transmitter on RU-vid and it shows that 500,000 watt unit and the 50,000 watt it uses now. I know in May when the Dayton Hamfeast they give tours and it is to see if you are North of Cincinnati.
Station is still going strong.12am to 5am eastern. This timeline is dedicated to truck drivers.I live on the gulf coast.Most nights you can hear it fine.Sometimes it fade out briefly.They have done the truck show for over 35yrs.
@@johnchildress6717 Steve Summers AKA Trucking Bozo started it but had to quick. I think he gone now. The last person I heard was Eric Bolanger AKA Bubba Bo. I love to her the show but I am retired and not up all night driving.
That is one gorgeous and unique radio. Right now I'm beginning to work on your least favorite brand a Philco NT-600-BKG I bought years ago finally found the schematic. Thanks to your videos I'm starting to mess with a couple old radios I have. Don't ever change your commentary. 👍🇺🇸
What are the odds of you and Radiotvphononut coming out with a video on the same rather obscure radio the same day! I have never seen this set before today. Very interesting.
I bought a GE loudmouth 8 track AM FM radio for five dollars The fm was very weak and AM distorted. They both took a dump after 30 minutes. The pc board had a fine crack. I had to use hardwire to repair the two open traces from the top of the pc board because of the dial cord Assy. I peaked up the fm IF coils by ear and both am and fm have good sensitivity. The radio is very loud now and sounds great on my cathedral radio modified extension speaker They are getting rediculous prices for these GE loudmouths on EBay
There is one of those at the condo in Florida. Fine radio, i just couldn't bring it home as my cousin owns the condo. I told her not to toss it, but she probably will at some point.
That Crosley hybrid is definitely a rare and a collectible edition radio You most likely won’t find those mini tubes for that radio any more. Great repair on that rare breed Crosley !!! Hats off to Shango 066 !!!!
It’s interesting to listen to the news of the recent past and your thoughts about it. When I first started watching your videos I came for the electronics - I didn’t immediately appreciate the production and entertainment value I would soon come to crave as well.
25:44 Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind Whatever happened to our world? I wish I understood It used to be so nice, it used to be so good So when you're near me, Shango can't you hear me E.O.L. The repair you gave me, nothing else can save me E.O.L. When you're gone How can I even try to go on? When you're gone Though I try how can I carry on? the old world so far away though you are standing near You made me feel alive, but capacitor died I fear I really tried to make it out I wish I understood What happened to our world, it used to be so good So when you're near me, Shango can't you hear me E.O.L. The repare you gave me, nothing else can save me E.O.L. When you're gone How can I even try to go on this world..
Now I know how to connect five 9 volt batteries together to get 45 Volts! New transistors make it sound much better! Noted that Shango didn't change the capacitors but it still works great, unfortunately there's nothing really good to listen to now! Well maybe two stations in LA.
Get a transmitter and play old music that won't trip the stupid copyright stuff. Could be something like Beethoven, Mozart, whatever, but I wholeheartedly agree.
If it's broadcast content that's a concern, why not make or buy a 0.10 watt AM transmitter and create your own public domain material for broadcasting and demonstrating your radios? I've had a tenth watt transmitter running in my house for the last 14 years playing my own compilation of 4000 songs on a flash drive. Sure beats all the sh*t on the radio today!
Yes, Shango066 should just grab a guitar and sing some spontaneous silly songs, preferably out of tune, about crispy and crunchy old electronics and about noisy airplanes and maybe throw in some political commentary. It's categorized as comedy for a reason after all.

@@DoctorLemon An eclectic mix of 1930s to 1970s country, early swing and dance bands, Hawaiian, pre-Beatles R&R, DooWop, some 80s soft rock, early jazz 1920s to 1940s, pop vocals 1950s and 60s, polkas and easy listening. 4100 songs on the flash drive running through a PC laptop with a player called Music Bee. I'm using the PC's USB output through a Behringer UCA202 audio converter. The stereo audio output from there goes to the Rangestar FSEZH-058 FM transmitter. Music Bee is set to random play and it runs 24/7. In fact it's been running continuously since 2009. Any of my old radios and consoles set to 103.1 will receive the music. Also I've interlaced it with early commercials and radio station ID jingles from the 50s and 60s. The signals travel about 500 feet. I can kick it up to high power and it'll go a half mile. That's illegal so I keep it on low power. 1/10 watt.
I think it might have just walked up. Sometimes radios like to wake up and walk away. When I turn on my am radio these days, I think they just want to go back to sleep with the negative news they hear. Nice little radio. Love it. :-)
Nice condition that radio, except for the pushed in grille, I have two of those Crosley book radios, and both mine worked, and thankfully hadn't had batteries left in either of them. My tuner knob on each radio has that same aggravating "play" when tuning stations. Both grilles on my sets have slightly pushed in areas, that aluminum is so thin and soft. They are cool little hybrid radios, still. I also have a couple Emerson hybrid radios that use the same tubes and batteries.
Fantastic repair!!! And even better commentary!! Thanks shango, you speak for the sane people in this country....I wish you and phononut would do some live streaming just about the news of the day.
Also an automatic radio Tom thumb was made about the same time and it used the exact same tube transistor and battery lineup. When I was a kid I had one and scrapped it for parts. Thing was like new wish I still had it.
Mine is a Concord 220 R2R tape recorder and it’s a 2-track only unit rather than 4-track, and it’s mono, not stereo. It has a tube and transistors which was a hybrid set. It came out in 1964, and it was the year that tube set are on its way out, and Solid State sets are coming in.
Thanks to your experiment, my left ear hears 14khz louder than my right ear, and 15khz may be the limit of the equipment and RU-vid in total which when attempting to stimulate with 15khz just sounds like a faint static fuzzy sound behind everything. That radio is so old I bet picks up only the past.
I am in a group that identifies stuff for people and this one lady just posted about one of these. Her Father was an announcer for the Ed Sullivan Show back in the day and she is trying to sell some of his collection. The one she has is signed by one of the producers of the show.
It was such a co-incidence that you and Radiotvphononut were doing this exact same radio 📻 on the exact same day. Your radio has a dent in the speaker 🔊 grille, Radiotvphononut’s does not. A sign that somebody has set something heavy on it, or pushed on it. I really like either radio, which are a tube type model. The gold color really hits home 🏡. I was going to have Radiotvphononut head ya up with a comment I could not leave at the time, since RU-vid was only half revamped at the time. Looks like that improvement came. There is nobody as interesting as you, Radiotvphononut, and David Tipton. I also like Radio Rescue and Glasslinger. The radios take me so far back in time, despite my birth year being 1970. I go back to 1925, or whatever, with a lot of this stuff. American made radios 📻 by American workers. Radio that must stand out in the living room. Such a shame to hide such radios in the basement, closet, shed, or garage, except where protecting it for collectible reasons is a must. This looks like a “by the beach” radio. You and Radiotvphononut could be there, playing identical radios, but on two different stations. Conversely, you could take two very different radios, and play them on the same station. This are battery operated radios, however, I don’t know if the tubes would be affected by salt water by the beach 🏝. They’d work well if you and Radiotvphononut went on a camping ⛺️ trip. They’re also a great 👍 “power outage” radio for home. They also will work as an emergency radio, something to listen 👂 to, such as if your car 🚗 runs out of gas ⛽️, or gets a flat tire, although it can’t call for actual emergency 🚨 services. Just entertainment along the way. Always hold onto these radios. I never saw it coming that you two would be doing the exact same radio videos on the exact same day. I don’t think 🤔 ya or Radiotvphononut knew, either. Very interesting. Please keep these great 👍 radio videos coming, I really like them, even if they’re not about identical radios.
Burgess battery company sold out to Honeywell and battery production was discontinued as the heavy metals in their battery formula were found to be too hazardous for employees. so yes, very toxic good to use two gloves per hand! Texas instruments produced the first commercial silicon transistor in 1954 so that radio is from mid/ late 50's
I vote for a MRS MILLER marathon!!! That's a cool radio! Imagine being able to hear five 15 inning ball games with one set of batteries? Maybe recharge jacks could be wired in....
I also had the same dilemma about replacing original components on a regency tr1 I have. from what I've been told they really didn't work all that well anyway so I think I'll just keep it as a shelf Queen all original since it is the first transistor set and one and unmolested condition is getting rarer by the day.
You can use teflon tape to get rid of the play in potmeter knobs i bet. I did it to get knobs on water tap faucet to work even if they did not originally fit becourse of larger hole and not the same amount of cogs on the knob too lol. Teflon tape is great, can be used to much other things i guess, yeah, i did use it to make a gasket for a thermometer stem once too while i do reflect of other things it can be used for, teflon can tolerate lots of heat. Wrap the potmeter axle, put the knob on and the teflon tape reshapes to fit them both, get rid of the exess, wrap it some more and put the knob on and it gets even better, and so fort until it fits nice and tight :) Teflon tape is so thin so one can wrap it many more times than one believes one could do.
That's the sort of radio you'd expect to find in a rectory or something. Shango you should start another channel just to discuss what's going with current events in the news, or just about anything at all that bothers you, that way you wont get a stroke from the sh*t that you keep bottled up. Your raw lingo and dry humor might be what we all need. I know there are many of these kind of channel already here on LieTube, but yours would at least be worth it. The name would have to be something like - Shango dis-cusses, or maybe Shango Vents, or speaks out, or something. But that would be your problem, I'm not too good with names.
There are small soviet military tubes which could replace those tubes just in case. 1Ж24Б "rod" pentode for example runs on 13mA 1.2V heater. Much easier to power using single AA battery (alkaline + resistor or Ni-cd/MH cell). Anode/G2 on 45V is about right for this tube. Awesome device for portable tube equipment.
11:18 those are the A123 Cells, they have a nominal voltage of 3.3 Max 3.6 and a Constant Current of 50A (PER CELL) these things are BEASTS and I made a portable power station out of them myself. 4 Banks at 40 Cells each So my pack has a continuous drain of 2,000Amps. However the charge controller I use limits them to 100A max (for protection) They are identical to mine and are the "nano phosphate cells"
To get a 45 volt power supply to fit into that tiny space a DC to DC converter could be built to fit into that space. All you would need is a 555 timer running off a 9 volt battery followed by a by a voltage quintupler using diodes and electrolytics. The 555 timer could be set up as an Astable Multivibrator with an adjustable duty cycle which would change the output voltage.
Very cool looking radio. One has to wonder, did Dick recently enlist in the military, and that was the reason for the gift of a radio. Sure would love to find a radio like like that, heck I wouldn't even mind having to build batteries for it.
you should get a low power am transmitter and use music bakery since that's royalty free or hook up a phone or tablet if you have to the transmitter and use the youtube audio library.
music bakery wont work at all. Constant copyright claims. 12voltvids is constantly fighting copyright claims. Only foolproof solution is to download MP3s from RU-vid's own copyright free library.
So funny to hear you rant after somewhere in the beginning of this video you mentioned triggered. Take a breath shango066. You'll be okay. I really enjoy watching your electronics expertise.
Nice video. What a lovely message and thoughts from a parent that loved their child. Leaking Mercury battery really you didn’t swim in that shit at school, i did. Probably why I’m stupid. I agree it’s a museum piece I wouldn’t bugger around with it. Duracell batteries are so shit I agree.
You could use a 'ZVS' circuit to generate your voltages from one or two LiPo's, it runs sinusoidal current through the transformer so shouldn't spew interference, running it at 50kHz would be nice and efficient.
(@13:14) - if you look under the ferrite-rod antenna, right to the right of the I.F. Xfmr and above the bumble-bomb (.1 uF), it looks like there’s an unsoldered component lead.
You can put some electrical/duck tape on the tuning dial stalk to fix the play in the dial.Thats what I do, and it can be undone if you don't like it...
on amazon you can buy a 45V Battery like that u30. Search for "Exell 415A Akaline 45V Battery" is expensive but still make these and is the replacement for the u30
Of note is that Dick's parents had a "normal" ink nib pen lying around the house and a bottle of gold ink. And they got the pen to work well on that faux leather stuff-- no splats of ink! Also-- you're right that the fact that Floyd and that cop were both bouncers at a night club is not brought up lately, but the NYTimes got all that out during the early days of this event. And that cop is a perfect sign of a bad cop-- not smart enough to release the guy while he is looking at the phone-cam recording him. So this is not a "clean" cop-on-black event but it is serving to stir things up.
