Rumor has it that the "this is a test" lady got fed up with saying the same thing over and over again and quit her job. It was not what she expected when she applied for the radio presenter position.
I heard producers are taking her leave as an opportunity for a format change to gain listeners... Hiring is underway to find the perfect voice for "this is no longer a test". It will be ready by a strong male voice this time, If you sound like Walter Cronkite you will most certainly get the job.
Those are clutch head screws; they were used on Chevy trucks and other GM vehicles from the 1940s through the mid-1960s. Clutch head screws were also used in mobile home and travel trailer manufacturing from the 1950s into the 1970s. Clutch head screws are ideal in a vibration application because they can be torqued more than standard screws when installed. I've also seen them used in old Sun test equipment.
Indeed, I recall my old 1951 Chevy Pickup with a straight 6 and 3 on the tree had those screws holding the front seat to the brackets, dad's old 53 Ford also had those screws holding the door latches on the pillars.
The blue molded caps were reliable, and the factory install in many 60's era guitar amps. Some people think they are fantastic sounding. I just use yellow tubular caps in my amps and that works fine for me.
Vintage Fender guitar amplifiers use those blue caps, that's why even used ones bring a premium price. So does some Bumblebee caps. They used the bumblebee caps on the tone pots of vintage Gibson electric guitars.
@@EdgarsLS I don't know of a cap that doesn't eventually leak. But, I'm old school, I love Astron Yellow Jackets, Black Beauties, Bumblebee, Sprague Mighty Mites, Mullard Mustard caps, Vitamin Q, Ajax Blue Molded polyester film caps, Sprague Orange Drops, Malory Blue Beauties, etc.
@@sonsofthunder915 I have seen enough repair/ restoration of old Fender amplifiers. The yellow Astron caps are almost always leaking DC and need to be replaced, while the blue molded caps are almost always good even though they're only a few years newer...
I would like to see the face of the new electronic geniuses looking for old technology during a concert in summer in Alicante in the open air with almost 40° and then another one in Kaiserslautern in winter with the same pedal with germanium transistors paired with the exclusive DAC55 just for pro people
This radio is a Canadian radio. Radios made for the Canadian Market used those type of screws. Every radio in my collection from Canada has those type of screws and you could actually buy the tool to remove them.
This radio was not made in Canada and those are not Robertson screws. Guild Radio and Television was in Inglewood ,California ! At 4:27 in you see a screw head that is holding the phenolic base of the E cap (and also the audio transformer ) was actually called a tamperproof clutchhead security screw. There were several types of security screws available back in the 1950's and 1960's . In radios the most common one was called the triwing and had three slots in the center to keep the front of a dialface from being removed from the chassis. Used long before Nintendo ever used them ! They aren't rivets as some restorers think. Needed a special screw- driver for each type to remove any of them.
Such a clean chassis right there. As simple and boring they may be to you, it is always good to see these repairs for learning purposes. Thank you for the awesome content
Love those paintings by Chicago based illustrator Dan Cosgrove found not only on Priority Mail stamps but many American and travel scenes , all available for sale in poster size as well.
Holy shit are you being HAMMERED by the spammers. I got at least 8 notifications from your channel that I won "the prize" or some-such. I'm glad that RU-vid has such a definitive handle on this whole issue.
Those blue molded caps were used in many Fender amplifiers, some of the most highly regarded in Fender's history. They also test good for leakage more often than you would expect for caps their age. Some people believe they're part of the "secret sauce" that makes those amps sound so good....
1:30 That's an interesting dial. I don't see any civil defense markings even though 1962 was at the tail end of the CONNELRAD era. The "POLICE" zone above 1600 is also kind of novel; I wonder how many police departments still used those frequencies in 1962; I think it's just room for a few more stations now. The spring clip on the loopstick is also unusual; I assume that's for an external antenna.
At first I thought you were joking about the age and that it was some sort of reproduction from china until you started looking it over. Man that is one very clean chassis, we don't get to see radios that clean in Indiana. Here everything is so corroded you have to grind the metal just to get a good ground for the test meter.
Those caps are used in 60s era fender guitar amps. Usually hold up pretty well. Most I test for capacity and leakage pass. Could be people are hoping to keep there old amp all original.
I heard the TEST LADY drowned in the last storm.. Last words: "Today's a good day for rain, HELP ME-HELP ME, this is a flood_ this is a flood, this is ONLY a flood.."
Awesome and qwik fix..But I enjoy when you repair sony trinitron TV's..when you go through the schematics circuit explanation etc..Can you please try to make trinitron videos...
blue caps are in vintage Fender amps,which sell for a lot of money,you can make big bucks too,even if they are leaky,what's important is the colour,be it blue or orange,whatever
Not Punk Noise band..! There’s potential for a Modular Synthesiser module..! And some of the currently fashionable manufactures are just down the road from you..😂👍
Odd (in my opinion), both mint and motorboating, but not humming (as I would expect for bad smoothing). As well as the commentary, It was the stamps that amused me, not $8 or $9 or $10 but $8.95. There must be some really large stamp books in the post offices.
while the stamp value seems odd, it's probably a common value, such as the starting postage for Priority Mail (currently as $9.35). Filter hum is usually the first capacitor after the rectifier, but later stages can cause motorboating. The power comes in though a dropping resistor and without the smoothing cap, the power audio stage affects the voltage on more sensitive stages.
Where did the dial cord get wound, I would like to see that all assembled, maybe there was a knob on the cabinet that turned the dial. The wooden case probably kept the chassis from getting roached. I fixed a few all American 5 s just by changing filter cap.
A short brass rod that was affixed in one location (the hole) and had a curved depression where the dial cord went around it. Seen a pix of an unmolested chassis.
@5:30 That sounds not like a motorboat but more like an electric motor dying a horrible fiery death! I’ll join your punk/noise band, only if I can play the tuba!
Friends of mine have a motor boat and they go motor boating all summer. Maybe they need a motor boating radio to take along with them as they motor boat about.
