All American Five Radio Troubleshooting 

I highly recommend the shortwave ebook. It was made available around the time I was really getting interested in tube radio repair and restoring and was one of my first books. Later when I purchased the other book you have on radio, it helped make more sense of what was going on. Admittedly it was a little complex to understand at first but as I learned it gave me a great reference to go to and really did help. I would also recommend to anyone interested in this hobby to buy a copy of the other book, "All American Five Radio", as it lays out the basic radio format we all enjoy. Thanks Rick. Carl

I downloaded your book today and have been reviewing it. An excellent resource with a remarkable amount of detail. Thank you for making it available to everyone. Godspeed on your future endeavors!

Hi Richard. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and putting in the time to teach others. I can understand how much time you must have invested into this. It is very much appreciated and it's great that others will become interested in saving some of these beautiful radios. You're keeping the spirit alive sir!!

I watch you channel every time you post new video. Although I don't know tubes I certainly "dabble" in transistor circuitry as a hobby. I downloaded your book and hope to read it soon. Thank you so much for taking time to make videos and book. Much respect , Micheal

Many thanks for posting this video. It is exactly the information that I've been trying to locate for using an oscilloscope with AA5 restorations

Hi Richard, thank so much for your ebook absolutely useful and well detailed. Regards Alberto (from ITALY)

Thanks for your videos and the book Rick. I have read the book and refer to it often. 73, Bill

Good video and a great book. I can tell a lot of work has gone into both. Thanks.

As others have stated, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for making this video.

Thanks a lot for doing this video. There's lots of good basic information that really helped me. Thanks also for the E book. There's lots of good information that applies to other radios as well. Regards, Tom

Thank you for the Ebook. I glanced through it. Looks great. Can't wait to read in it's entirety.

Thanks for the tutorial and ebook link. Enjoy all your videos!

Thank you vert much for this great video and the book is amazing. What a great resource.

As always an excellent video. Thank You!

That's very generous of you, thank you very much

Thanks for the video and sharing helpful information.

Thank you for sharing your book! great video!

Appreciate the videos that you have on your channel and the sharing of your knowledge on working with these vintage radios. I am working on my first restoration of a 1955 Arvin 842T radio that my father had kept away in his storage and was wondering what gauge of antenna wire were used on these sets? I would like to try and replace it since a lot of the cloth insulation is almost gone from it. Thanks for your time.

Great video. Great teacher. Thanks!

Thank you very much, just exactly what I would like to do with my new (chinese) oscilloscope. What a great video to offer the public

Very helpfull for everyone who is doing stuff with old radio's

BIG THANX for the book.

Great video, thanks for sharing!

Great video!! -- Atco

Richard, I found this video very informative and wanted to download your "ebook" The Vacuum Tube Shortwave Radio and when I connected the link I received a message that wouldn't allow me to get to the download. Is there another way to get to the download? Keep up the goodwork

Yes, thanks so much for the walk through of how it operates..... tried to download your ebook but it needs a password to open it... Thanks Again....Mike

Many thanks, The older we get, the more we know, that we don't know much! Or as we get old do we just forget ? lol

Can you hook an oscilloscope directly to the plates on a tube radio?? I might have ask you this before, I cant remember...excellent video..I did ask you..sorry about that..but my scope say's it can handle 300 volts DC and I believe the plate voltage is around 250 volts.

I always found that an analogue scope is much more suited to radio testing. Maybe its me just being " old fashioned " !!

Can you tell me which oscilloscope you're using?

How would you define a n AA5 radio? There seems to be differing opinions on that .

Shouldn't the power switch be in series with the hot lead, and a polarized plug?

The link to the book is not working. Can you please provide an updated link. Thanks.

Sir. I have 60hz hum on a 5 tube acdc national nc33 even after recapping. The 60hz is all over my B+. Any idea what it could be?

I downloaded your e-book but it requires a password. I think I used to have the password but I can't remember. What can I use? Thanks for your videos. I have been watching you since around 2010 and I have enjoyed each one that I have seen.

I guess I waited too long. The link to the e-book says account suspended.
