Erres radio? I had never heard of them. This one was brought to Australia by a Dutch migrant. It is complete but in rather poor condition. The cabinet finish is the worst I've seen, it will have to be stripped back. Once complete it turned out to be one of the best finishes I have done. Please follow along as I bring the beauty back to this old girl. This may be the only example of this model radio in Australia.

She might have been a homely gal when you started but she is dressed for the prom now! What an amazing transformation!

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Larry 🙂

@jonestimePMC 6 месяцев назад

When I first saw the radio, I thought it was bland and somewhat ugly, but after you finished it... What a beautiful piece! Very Very nice and I love the flip up dial glass. Well done Dave!

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

Me too... Thanks Jonestime 👍🙂

@ShannonFerguson 6 месяцев назад

My thoughts exactly. What a beautiful radio! Thanks, Dave!

@1974UTuber 6 месяцев назад

Mate, you turned an ugly duckling into a very nice looking unit. That grill cloth is just beautiful. I always love watching your cabinet restorations. And it seems lots of other RU-vidrs are talking about your cabinet work as well. Both Electronics Old and New and Buzz1151 have mentioned your work on a few occasions. It means you are now the World Renowned Radio Restorer

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

Thank you 1974UTuber. Yes they have, I have pointed to their work as well. It's a great little community we are a part of 👍😀

@AlejandroLopez-qd3xm 6 месяцев назад

Others do a great job on their own, and we all have a lot of fun with them, but your work is museum worth!

@raymondmenard5444 6 месяцев назад

That's what i keep telling him, but he's too modest to believe it, he always says ''i'm learning as i go along''...

@1974UTuber 6 месяцев назад

I love all the ones I watch. Dave and Buzz are my favourites because of the humour content. Perhaps Dave believes like I do that there is no such thing as a Museum Piece. What's the point of restoration if not for using it regularly as intended.

@4X6GP 6 месяцев назад

Every episode seems to have at least one tour de force. Sometimes a transformer rewinding, sometimes a capacitor block, sometimes a stuffed cap, and this time the grille cloth. Great work!

@sincerelyyours7538 6 месяцев назад

Another sow's ear into a silk purse, David, a fantastic restoration! Had no idea they made radios like that. Ms Corrien Maas is a great find for radio restorers. She made a grille cloth for my Grundig 2030W/3D that might as well be New Old Stock. She'd never seen it before and it didn't exist anywhere online so I sent her a piece of my original cloth and she hand wove a perfect copy. She's a real pro at that and as far as I know is the only person in the world who does such work. Happy New Year, Dave! I hope 2024 is a good year for you and yours! The world could sure use a good year as the last 8 have been terrible...

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Sincerely Yours. Yes, She had a photo of the cloth and the one she produced looked exactly the same. Very clever of her. Happy 2024 👍😀

@dogribmoon 6 месяцев назад

I would have walked past this radio thinking it ugly, but it has emerged as the swan it should be. I love the cloth you selected. It makes a huge difference

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

The cloth was worth the effort. Thanks dogribmoon 🙂

@domtrimboli6238 6 месяцев назад

You are the godfather of transformation, waving your magic on every radio you work on. Another radio restored and looks terrific. Thanks for the video and look forward to your next one.

@Robert-bd4mb 6 месяцев назад

Hi Dave. Having watched this Erres restoration. What appeared at first to be a real ugly duckling turned into an unusual Swan. A credit to your skills. Thanks again for an informative program. Bob.

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

@skip1835 6 месяцев назад

Spectacular! Like some of the other commenters, originally I was not very impressed - - after the rebuild it's a prized piece!

@Plons0Nard 6 месяцев назад

What a joy this was ! I was glued to the screen and it brought back memories, stored in the cells of my hands. I had the same speaker, transformer etc. When I was a little explorer, I got quite a few shocks from the transformer. I used it, uncovered, to power my 6V "drill", made up from a bicycle dynamo. Voyage to the bottom of the sea. My double bed was the submarine and I did quite some exploring under the bed. Which was a cave of course. 🤨 A child's mind 😊 Those huge nuts and bolts : kacheldraad it is called in Dutch. Used on f.i. the heating stove (kachel in Dutch) in the living room. Cheers Nard

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

I'm not surprised you got a shock Nard, powering a bike dynamo from the mains with a radio transformer 😨 A childs mind is a wonderful thing. Thanks Nard 🙂

@radio-ged4626 6 месяцев назад

I know you always do a good job when you restore the cabinet but this one has been totally transformed. I couldn't see how it could be made to look good but I guess taking the time to choose the right grill cloth and wood finish, together with the attention to detailing works miracles. Great job.

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

It was there to be uncovered. Thanks Radio-Ged 🙂

@billmcdonald2436 6 месяцев назад

The transformation of this ugly duckling is simply amazing. It’s such a pleasure to watch. Thanks David. By the way, after watching your videos for a year or two I have almost gained the confidence to try my hand at refinishing some of my wooden radios. I typically only do the plastic and Bakelite radios because I’ve never been good at wood working. Maybe I’ll give it a go sometime soon. I recently purchased 3 radios at auction, all from the 1930’s.

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Bill. Good luck with your woodworking and refinishing. Take your time and get the prep right 👍🙂

Im sure these radioes once was the pride of someones livingroom, and just looking at them makes me wonder what historic news and Music has passed through these electronic circuits over the years 😊👍🏻 Have a wonderful day down under Grassy

@DavidTipton101 3 дня назад

Oh, when I'm working on a new project I always wonder what it's story is and I often picture the Dad bringing it home and the family enjoying it that night. I did get a little info on this one and how it got to Australia so that was nice. Thanks grassy 👍🙂

@hijmestoffels5171 6 месяцев назад

It fills my heart with pride seeing this piece of Dutch quality engineering restored to its former glory. Erres was a common brand in the Netherlands when I was a kid. If I remember correctly it became a kind of entry-level brand of Philips.

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

You should be proud Hijme. This is a very good radio for entry level 👍🙂

@davewhite7182 6 месяцев назад

Great job Dave, the case looks fantastic, probably better than new and it sounded brilliant. I was most impressed with the alignment of the speaker cloth it spoke to my inner OCD. I always look forward to your videos at the weekend. Hope you and your family are keeping well. Best wishes from Cambridge, England.

Brilliant Dave! Incidentally I watched this en route between New York and Hong Kong as we flew past the North Pole. Satellite reception is a bit sketchy in the higher latitudes but it made the sixteen hour flight a bit less boring. Many thanks.

Happy to help. It's pretty cool now you can use the internet in planes. It wasn't that long ago you had to read a book. Thanks Robert ✈️🙂

@jasonatkin6787 6 месяцев назад

As always, an excellent job. You really go above and beyond the call of duty in your restorations. I endeavor to work more like you every day, so thanks for the continued inspiration, not to mention the great entertainment. As an aside, the styling of that radio is definitely in the 'homely' category. Were it not for the uniqueness of the pop-up tuning dial, I think it would've been scrapped years ago. Still, you managed to transform it into a real head-turner.

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Jason. The pop-up dial is the icing on the cake 😀

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

It looks great, I was very happy the cabinet looked so good. No more wood polishing for a while I'm afraid 🙄 Cheers!

@Donno308 6 месяцев назад

Hi Dave I think you must've had a fair idea that it was going to turn out really well or you wouldn't have gone to the trouble of ordering the grille cloth from the Netherlands. Anyway you certainly did it justice! Nice touch with Fred & Ginger dancing in the reflection on the cabinet. Nicely done. Please do a video on your beige Volvo when you get it! Cheers

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

That's a good point Don. I liked the radio when I saw it and wanted to do it up. I was worried when I first started and really looked at it condition but it turned out pretty good. Google Booty Swing and it shows the entire dance. It will take a while to drive the Volvo from the dealership, I will need to drive it sooo slow... and in the right lane 😅 Thanks Don.

I found that I learn better through watching rather then reading, took some sort of test once in college about that, I always learn some thing every time I watch your videos. Thanks for the entertainment whilst I sip my morning coffee, always a great way to start the day. Oh -10F here this morning, wind is strong so there are wind chill warnings, the wind chill right now according to my radio is -30F which, if I remember is about the point where the C and F scales come close to matching.

I’d REALLY hate to throw such a nice 😊 radio 📻 in the trash 🗑️, all because I couldn’t restring the dial cord. Your friend, Jeff.

To be honest I was kind of ashamed that that ugly thing came from our country but once you got that new cloth on there I saw its true potential. In a way it almost looks art deco, with its simplistic straight lines, which the cloth adds to. Truly beautiful result David, this one is getting into my youtube favourite list.

Philips had a lot of "shadow" brands like Erres, Aristona and Dux which were all basically just stickers that they put on Philips produced equipment. They were usually much cheaper than the original Philips version of the products. That said, I have to say I've never seen anything like this radio from Philips. So maybe in the early days Erres made their own radios or maybe this was made before Philips bought them...

Thanks Jac. According to what I've read Philips wasn't part of the Erres brand when this radio was made. There is a lot of Philips components in there though 🤔🙂

Fantastic work as always! I wonder how the factory got the grill cloth pattern perfect for however many thousands of radios they made? Surely they didn't spend hours on every radio getting it perfect. Maybe they had a jig that they could adjust the pattern's alignment before fixing to the cabinet? Maybe they just did it by hand/eye, and with practice the worker could install the cloth with good alignment in a minute?

Thanks linuspoindexter. I know, they would be applying fabric perfectly many times a day. I don't know how they did it 🙂

This just shows how something that looks really bad can be restored back to it's original look if you only put a lot of talent and work into it. I guess Philips was not only involved on the parts inn the radio but also on the design as this looks alot like other Philips sets from that time. With the dial glas on the top and big speaker in the front.

Hi Geir, thank you. It difficult to say how much input Philips had in the design at the period. It had a lot of Philips parts in it though 🙂

Love the work you do in restoring these old radio cabinets. You have made the most of a relatively plain cabinet and it look great

Again a fantastic recondition of a radio! I rebuild boat anchor radios for fun, Halicrafters, Hammarlund etc. I am jealous of your expertise in refurbishing the cabinets, excellent job...

@DavidTipton101 6 месяцев назад

That sounds like fun David. Thank you. The cabinet refurb isn't that hard, try, fail... repeat 🙂

Hi Dave, First and foremost, Happy New Year to you and your family. Like you, I too had never heard of the ‘Herres’ brand. The Philips brand was sold exclusively through approved dealerships at premium prices. Here in the UK, for example, there was the ‘Stella’ brand, which incorporated Philips chassis, sometimes of lower spec’ housed inside budget-end cabinets, and sold though department stores, wholesalers, and electrical outlets. Then there was the Mullard brand of radio and television, incorporating higher spec’ Philips chassis housed inside highly polished cabinets. It is possible that Herre was another one of Philips more higher spec’ brands. When you first presented this radio, it kind of had an ‘ugly duckling’ look about it. It certainly no longer has that look about it now. Definitely a huge transformation back to how it once looked over eighty years ago. A good set of valves installed; quick alignment, and it will effectively be as good as a ‘new radio’. Regards, Phil.

Erres (which stood for R.S. Stokvis, Errres is how you pronounce the letters R and S in Dutch) was a designer and distributor of radios made by several manufacturers. Eventually Philips purchased the rights to the name Erres and it became one of the numerous Philips brands in the 1970s. Philips usually did two designs of each model, one sold as Philips and another - usually more conservative - one under all the other brand names like Radiola, Aristona and Erres. This radio was manufactured by Van der Heem, an old Dutch radio manufacturer that had an on and off relationship with Philips since about 1930. Trivia: stokvis means stock fish, I fear other kids made fun of the founder of this company when he was a schoolboy!

Hi Phil, happy new year to you. Erres was part owned by Philips at times but when this Erres was made they were not owned by Philips but Philips clearly supplied components to them. Yes it was an ugly duckling but I could see the potential in it and it was so unusual as well. It exceeded my expectations, the cabinet was in such good condition under the original finish it responded well to restoration. I will admit, I love running my fingers over the finish and popping the dial up 😄 When I get the new valves I will align it, it deserves it. Thanks Phil 🙂
