Kriesler 11-7 1947 - 1951 

Hi David, this radio belonged to my Grandad! My father remembers waking up and turning it on to hear that JFK had been assassinated. It holds alot of childhood memories for me and im so happy to have it restored so beautifully. My Fardie would be proud. Thank you so much 😍😍. I've loved watching this video and have shared it with other family members to enjoy a trip down memory lane

Fantastic work Dave! Thanks for sharing your repair and restoration with us.

"I'm not gonna do much to this, just get it working." Yeah right. I knew it'd look superb by the time you were done with it!

Another great restoration as always Dave. That waxy muck looks exactly like the stuff that used to deposit on everything in our kitchen in the 70's and 80's before they cleaned up the Town Gas for the stoves. It would pull the dust out of the air and form a hard waxy oily crust on everything and leave a red orange rust stain on metals once it was cleaned off.

While this radio may not win a first prize, you always put 110% into your restorations. Hope your situation is improving.

More inspiring work Dave, thanks so much. My favourite bit was the wee badge, most satisfying to see it turn out so well. Hope you health is improving all the time, God bless all youse' uns there. Thanks again.

Great job, as always.

I hope you're feeling well enough, Dave. You appear to be as sharp as ever, so I'm encouraged. I enjoy how you are resourceful in each small task until the job is done. Thanks for that.

That came up a million dollars. Lovely resto once again. The Kriesler badge was the icing on the cake.

Yay! Another interesting restoration from you, David! As always, very enjoyable and satisfying to watch! Thank you for your time :)

Nothing better than getting up on the weekend and switching this on to listen to local ABC612. She warms up and the sound is perfect. Thanks David. We look forward to passing it on to the son so he has his great grandfathers radio. A family heirloom 😍😍

As for me, Dave, you never need worry about the length of your videos. I also enjoy the tuning part of your repairs. Thanks, that was fun. Cool here today in north Florida. Have a great day.

never boring and its great that you save these old receivers for the next generation to enjoy :)

Always looking forward to your new videos, there's something new to learn in each one. Thanks Dave.

Yes! Another video from David..😀 As usual, great craftmanship! This is how it's done.. Nice job again, David...Thanks! 👍

Your projects are invariably interesting and impressive. I do have turn the volume down during the first 10 seconds of each video in order to avoid waking the household with the bass drums.

Look forward to watching this.

God-Bless Dave, you are a treasure. Take care and be careful.

Dear Dave, don't worry, none of your restorations are boring, we can always learn something.

You never cease to educate and entertain us David with each and every project you take on. I knew you couldn't just get a radio working and stop there. Thanks for sharing with us and take care of yourself!

I enjoy your program very much. You have inspired me to study basic electronics at the age of 70! I built some Heathkit items 50 years ago, and nothing since, and your tutorials and style have energized me to begin again. Thanks again for what you do.

Great to wake up to a You Tube notification that Dave's been at it again. My usual 10 minute breakfast lasted an enjoyable 40 minutes this morning. Can't wait to see what your other projects are that you mentioned. Off to my own workshop now. All the best from this Aussie in the UK mate.

31:00 "Takes 5 minutes to cure"? Heck I didn't even know it was sick! LOL🤣

David, Fear not, you have never approached being boring. I enjoy all of your content.

I never grow weary of your fine work. Every check out, alignment etc is interesting. You NEVER bore me it is exciting to see the difference your precise and meticulous work makes with these old radios!

Well David another late night bonus... went to my RU-vid subscriptions and there you were with another radio restoration. Loved it - great job. You always make me smile with your initial comments about not spending much time on it... but I always know that its not in you to not turn out the best possible result. Hope the treatment is going well - think about you often... and that's why it was a real pleasure to see that you are still able to wave your magic wand over another carcass. Keep smiling - keep restoring.😏

Man i love watching you work. Your attention to details never ceases to amaze me, Thank's for sharing, be well 😃

Another quality restoration Dave. I really look forward to your videos and I am never disappointed! Hope your doing well. 73 - Jeff (NY1M)

Well done Dave. I'm not at all electronically gifted, but I'm amazed at your talent and I do love radio !

Brilliant job as always! Very entertaining Dave, thank you for sharing!

Dave, I've watched several of your masterful renovations and am amazed at your resourcefulness and skill! Bravo!

Hi David, I'm an electronics tech from 30 odd years ago who diversified into the mysteries of computing along the way. I've always kept a finger in the pie of electronics repair though, amateur radio etc and construction in particular. With a bit more time on my hands these days I reckoned I'd get back into repairing the things I started out on as an eager 20 something - the lingering valve radios and telly's of the 80's. I find your videos invaluable, your delivery to the point and full of hints and tips that you maybe even don't realise you are imparting to others, fantastic. Thanks very much for what you do and the way you do it, I'm re-learning so much. I've built myself a swishy autotransformer and isolated power supply and revamped a Bush 1955 Dac90A to start with, have a Cossor 1946 464 on the way and just snapped up a 1931 Marconiphone 42AC too! Thanks!

thanks for sharing

It's always a good day when Dave posts a video. Thanks again for the great content, Mr Tipton.

Lovely to see you in action even if you are on light duties David... another nice repair ... now take it easy!

I love watching your videos, the smell of old valve radios reminds me of my childhood...of going to jumble sales in church halls in the early seventies.. I now have five radios sitting on shelfs in my front room, they look great and and even my niece has started collecting. We can still buy them relatively cheap here in the UK.

David, that as brilliant !!!! unwinding that wire... wow.... a very good education.. Exceptional job as always !!!!!! Thank you

great job good to see you back on the bench hope you are keeping well

“…just get it working.” You are too modest my friend! You performed, as usual, a superb repair, and “wash ‘n’ brush up” job on that radio. It looks and sounds beautiful. The Kriesler badge, shiny cabinet, and station to dial alignment were a definite major contributor to the finished article. There’s no reason for its owner to show any dissatisfaction in any way, shape or measure. That radio should provide good working service for several years to come. Cheers Dave: all the best from Phil.

Another beautiful restoration.

Again a great restoration. That one on the fixed capacitor was a very good one, also the new plastic Kriesler logo. Thanks.

Thanks. Great hot glue tip on the transformer. The variable capacitor tuning was very interesting. Great presentation and restoration as always!

You are the master the internal radio repair, but I have a fondness for what you do on the cases. No matter how bad it looks at the start of your restoration, we all know that David, with his patience and determination, does a splendid job.

Greetings from Canada, nice to see a new video and I hope your treatments are going well. You can buy a spray accelerator for the CA glue which is spritzed on 15 or 20 seconds after the glue is applied and it will speed up the drying time and prevent the CA glue from turning white. Gerry Rosa from Rosa String Works is a luthier who uses it on many of his videos when repairing instruments. He's a great guy as well. Good luck and God Bless.

Great restoration. Love the ones where it's before and after are a big contrast.

Hi Sir David! Your videos are never boring. Erase any thought! I am a bit jealous of your relentless pursuit of perfection and motor skills. (My dozen cups of coffee doesn't help me)! Thanks for another piece of art.

Hi David. This is a fantastic work. 👏👏👏👏👏. I had found very intriging to see a gimmick capacitor to adjust the local oscilator instead of a regular trimmer or padder. I had never seen something equal, it is fascinating. Every radio set gives unexpected surprises. Hugs 🙂

What an amazing all-round transformation David...another job to be proud of...

Very slick restoration of the Kriesler badge.

Absolutely great job all around. No wonder Paul Carlson comments here. You really hit all the bells and whistles. Even the Fab Four and the Hollies sound great! The owner should be very happy with the restore! Steve

Gorgeous job David. Janine is one happy granddaughter. Enjoyed this alot. 73 de KB7ICI....Bill

Another job well done. Nice little radio that came to look and play beautiful.

Great job David!!! Thanks for sharing your repair.

Thanks David, another radio revitalised.

Absolutely brilliant! You have now become my "official" best electronics restorer on the net! Now that B Anderson has stopped restoring Predictas, you have absolutely NO competition!!! Thank you so much!!! Loved every second!!! PS don't ever feel you're boring us with any procedure! We can't get enough!!!

Your restorations are a joy to watch

I have not seen this kind of capacitive trimmer before, very interesting. Another nice radio refurbished, thanks Dave!

Como siempre Dave, un magnífico trabajo. Gracias por compartir tanto. Saludos desde ciudad de México 🤗🇲🇽

Hi David. Glad to see another great video from you. I must admit I check daily for something from you. I do enjoy everything you produce. Be healthy, cheers Don

Very enjoyable, as always, and a very impressive job too. Give yourself some more credit! I hope you are doing well - it's GREAT to see you back.

as always great work master

Facinating, thank you.

Great work as usual. Thanks for sharing.

The case came up not bad, at least there were no big cracks on it. Nice job, you are a master ;-))

Brilliant video as always David! Cheers

Wow David, what a fab repair..The cabinet work is just so impressive especially the little K badge..! Great job and so much info...Thanks for sharing, and I hope your keeping well..Ed..uk..😀

Lovely job Dave as always

Absolutely perfect Dave 👌😊

Nice restoration Dave ... I had some beauts when I was playing with electronics back in the late 70's early 80's ... wish I had kept them ... hindsight can hurt sometimes ... ;) ...

great video as always all the best

As usual, a masterful job on the radio. Your videos are always entertaining for me.

Another nice job Dave, thanks!

Raally great work Dave, it looks and sounds great! I absolutely love the way you recreated the badge! Very, Very Nice!

Love the creativity, badge looked great!!!

As usual, another great job well done David. A typical Friday evening video to watch and unwind. Cannot wait for the next video.

Great job! Great radio! Best regards from France.

Great job there Dave, i hope your keeping ok. Take care and stay safe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

Great job David!! I especially enjoyed the molding of the manufacturers badge and the grill. John

Another excellent quality job mate. Ow and just letting you know nothing you do is ever boring I love every minute of watching what you do.👌

Hi Dave. I always check my phone on Friday mornings when I get out of bed. If there is a new Tipton video, It’s a great Friday 😊 Thanks again for a great video. By the way, not sure if you’ve tried the mini-whip antenna. For AM it’s absolutely magic for me, and since you guys still have many AM stations, it may be an idea for you to try.

Nicely Done David !

Always happy to see a new video from you. The radio's owners are lucky to have you nearby and it's great that they use it regularly. Cheers

Always a great watch, cheered me up, keep it up, looking forward to the next episode,

Fantastic work as per Dave 👍👍

As a friend on another channel likes to say: that's slicker 'n snot on a doorknob. Nice work.

David you've done anther well done restoration

Great job Dave, you always provide a great adventure in the radio restoration hobby.

I love it when you say you’re not going to do much and you end up making it perfect. 😉 That radio really looks good Dave! The new owner should be pretty happy with it.

Woweeee I sure wish I owned that! Gorgeous. Great video

Never boring to see your amazing work and your videos are just so beautifully made! All the camera angles and cuts must take forever to edit. Incredible! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I am glad you did not put too much work into it 😂😊😉 David always reassures us that what he does is 'just' a tidy up. But we know better 😊 It came out beautiful ! Cheers and hope you are well 👍🏻🤝🏻🇳🇱

Amazing jop like always really thank you so much for beautiful video keep koing Dave with all my best wishes 👍

That badge came out amazing! Thanks for the tip, I'm going to have to try that one day. Overall an excellent video and great work! I'm enjoying your posts and I really enjoy seeing some radios that you don't find here in America.

Great job, Dave! Your reproduction of the Kreisler badge was brilliant! Ah, vintage Hollies at the end. Nice!

Another great video Dave . Thanks for sharing. Best wishes Terry uk 🇬🇧❤

Like your intro music, we really appreciate your helpful videos

Nice job !!!!!!

Loved it the badge turned out great

Yet another fantasic resto! Your videos always make me feel a wee bit brighter :-) Do you think someone will be reparing old iPhones in 50 years time? No, me neither! All our kids will be able to do is show people a dead metal and glass slab and say "this was my dad's favourite phone, it lasted almost 4 years...."

The owner should be very pleased with the outcome. Look forward to your next radio.
