A nice little Aussie radio with a production run of 10 years. It's in good shape except the case has turned yellow, I can fix that. I use the RetrObright process on the case and explain the alignment procedure as I do it.
One of these radios showed up in the UK and was picked up by Neil from Neil's Old Radios RU-vid channel:

Hi David . Great to see you here again . I truly hope you are doing well health-wise . Looking forward to watching your latest restoration . There are so many restoration vids on here but yours are the BEST . Warmest wishes from Thomas in UK ...

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Thomas, thank you. I'm going through the treatment now so fingers crossed. I'm happy you enjoy my videos, take care in the UK, cheers! 😊

@adampurcell7119 2 года назад

Totally agree. I've tried watching many whilst waiting for David's and end up leaving them because they just don't cut it for me

@janmussche6815 4 месяца назад

Hi Dave, I refreshed my knowledge about how a radio works. Wow, you explain in 1 minute what teachers in school 50 years ago took a whole year to explain. You made it very clear and simple, just as it should be. Thank you for that, professor.

@DavidTipton101 4 месяца назад

Thanks Jan. It's something I struggled with early on. It took a lot of research to piece it together, I'm glad it helped you 🙂

@stephenbarlin2314 2 года назад

Excellent, what a superb bit of engineering this radio exhibits. A lesson in how to keep costs to a minimum but still produce a great product. Still working after 50-60 years.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Exactly Stephen, very clean and simple design, I like radios from this era. I would have be surprised if it didn't work. Thanks Stephen 🙂

@rciancia 2 года назад

Well done David. That peroxide worked very well considering how yellow was. Easy restore, but performed with the same level of care and love you always show. Hope your recovery is going well my friend.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Ron, thank you. I'm still in treatment, recovery won't start till after Xmas but going well so far, cheers! 😀 P.S. I am halfway through your latest Detrola video, I'd better get back to it 😉

Hi 🌼🌺💐🌹

@timmack2415 2 года назад

Another great video, Dave! I hadn't restored any radios in years, but have about a dozen in my workshop waiting. After binge watching your channel over the last month, I straightened out my workshop and just finished restoring a Crosley 148 "Fiver" Cathedral radio (1932) a few days ago. Thanks for getting me motivated and back into the hobby. I hope you're healing and on the road to a full recovery soon. Sending good vibes and thoughts across the pond from the US!

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Tim, I'm so happy you picked up your hobby after a number of years, I hope you have continued success with the remaining radios. I'm going along OK so far, thanks for the good vibes 👍😊

@jims2222 2 года назад

Agree with ry491, your restoration videos are far superior to any of the others out there. What a great explanation you provided on signal path and alignment process. So good to see you again and look forward to your next vid.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Thanks you Jim. I put a bit of work into the videos, it's nice to hear it makes a difference. Thank you for your feedback on the alignment. Stay tuned, about three weeks away 🙂

@brianwood5220 2 года назад

I do hope the recovery is going well, great video once again. I perticularly enjoyed the graphical explanation of how the radio is set out ie. RF, IF, AF. You taught me a lot in this as i was unaware what they stood for. Look after yourself and thanks for sharing.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Thank you Brian, I'm glad you got something from the explanation. Will do and thank you for watching 👍🙂

@sincerelyyours7538 2 года назад

Very fine restoration! I quite liked the bit of superhet fundamentals you gave us in this one -- very easy to understand. Also enjoyed the radio report of the 1969 moon launch as witnessed by an Aussie reporter on the scene at Cape Kennedy. My family and I remember watching the minute-by-minute reports done by Walter Cronkite on our grainy black and white TV. Dad was so worried TV would "rot his kids minds" if he allowed a color TV in the house. Little did he realize what TV and radio would become in later years.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Sincerely Yours, alignment was the most difficult to get into when I started so I hope it helps. I could not find any Aussie reporting on Apollo 11's launch or moon landing, I found Walter Cronkite easily enough and eventually found the snippet I used. The Gemini and Apollo projects were fascinating and the actual moon landing was incredible, it captivated me for years. I was only allowed very limited access to TV, maybe a hour after school and 30 minutes on Saturday morning to watch Buggs Bunny, your Dad may have been right 🙂

@mrlejones 2 года назад

Love watching you bring back the radios of my time and learn from you.. Thanks for another fun restore my friend!

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Thank you Le, my pleasure 😊

@theoloutlaw 2 года назад

G'day David. Great one as always. Count me in as another who really enjoyed your 'break down' of the alignment on paper with the practical elements as well. It makes great sense and I wish others could explain things like you do. I always get confused with IF, RF, and signals mixing together and it all turns into 'jumbo' for me, but this made it so much clearer for me to comprehend this side of how the radio works. Thankyou again, Rick

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Rick thanks, I'm glad my explanation helped, I though it may have been a bit vague. Thanks again Rick, take care 👍🙂

Great bit of schooling and loved the ending

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Thank you Adam 😀

@timothygrupp 2 года назад

You should have been my communications professor...you took the concepts and explained them in simple terms. The why and how were so well covered. Thanks. Great job with that little beauty. Most things I saw in the sixties were transistor unless they happened to be the larger console style radios (Blaupunkt, Grundig, Zenith, etc.) Wonderful results with this one! Take care and stay healthy!

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

I like that... professor Dave 😉 Thanks Tim, I'm glad you found that useful. Transistors a bit of a mystery to me, I look at them and poke at them with a stick monkey style, I might have a go at another one soon 🙂 Thanks Tim, take care 👍

@josephmagedanz4070 Год назад

Thanks for the alignment demonstration. I have watched many on RU-vid, and they all help to understand the procedure. Yours added a new twist to it that was quite helpful. It's like shining a flashlight on an object in a dark room. One light lets you see what is there, but not in much detail. Many lights from many angles reveals in full dimension what that object is...all of these alignment explanations are finally starting to clear the fog for me...thanks! This deserves a cup of coffee.

@DavidTipton101 Год назад

HI Joseph, I'm glad it helped, AM alignment is pretty easy but getting it to gel can be a problem. Thanks for the coffee ☕

@ceebee23 2 года назад

oooh my mum's radio... she used to listen to it while she did her ironing!

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Haha.. that's kind of what I said in the video 🙂 Thanks Chris.

@ervwatson4988 2 года назад

Great job. Einstein said "if you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it". You clearly explained alignment so anyone can understand it. You are a great teacher.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Thanks Erv. I'm happy it came across like that 👍🙂

@Rene_Voortwist 2 года назад

I's really like to see the display of your restored radios Dave. That should be really special. This one came out really good as usual.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Rene, I will do that one day, maybe soon as I am taking it easy. Thanks Rene 👍😀

@4X6GP 2 года назад

Thank you, very enjoyable! I'm sorry to say here in Israel there has been no AM radio, only FM, for several years.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Thank you Victor, AM will die out everywhere eventually I guess 😟🙂

@singhpk99 2 года назад

Great to have you back! Love your skills at restoring these! Converting the rectifier to bridge using the tube rectifier and 2 diodes - should half the hum and reduce transformer heating. Since all the radio has now is Covid BS, a small AM TX maybe nice project

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Thanks singhpk99. Full wave would help with the hum but would increase the voltage then I would have to deal with that. It's fine as it is albeit a bit louder than other radios. I have an AM TX sitting here, I must plug it in one day 🤔🙂

@harbselectronicslab3551 2 года назад

It still amazes me how much trouble you go to filming your video's......I can see how much effort you go to make it a very well told story in the edit......stay well mate......great stuff as always

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Haha... yes it takes an age to set up each shot but worth it I think. Thanks Harb's Electronics Lab, stay well yourself 👍😀

@Donno308 2 года назад

Hi David. Great to see another video from you. They’re always a special treat. This is the best, easiest to understand explanation of alignment I have ever seen. I wish I had seen it a long time ago as there’s not a lot of easily accessible information about it and it took a while for the “penny to drop” for me. I’m still not clear about the best way to deal with a seperate RF stage like the Kreisler I recently did. I’m still not sure I got it right. All the best for your recovery. I hope you and your family are coping ok.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Don, that's it, when the penny drops is exactly how it works, well it did for me. The RF in my experience is a trimmer adjustment on the top of the tuning capacitor. Being a trimmer it should be adjusted for max signal at the top end of the scale, 1400 or 1500 kHz. if there is an RF coil or padder adjustment that would be done at the lower end of the scale, about 600kHz. Thanks Don we are doing pretty good, cheers! 👍🙂

The UTube power said I needed to watch this video once more, so I did, still a great video! My daughter called me this morning, she has been up at the ND State Capitol to see her doctor, some 130 miles from our home. The weather here is horrid, we have had one blizzard after another for the last 40 days, yesterday was bad so she stayed over, and took of this morning. Made it 30 miles and is snowed in at a small town with no motels, she found a bed and breakfast via recommendation at a gas station and is spending the day and night there. Hits my bank book a bit as she needed funds and used my debit card but it will all work out in the end. Hopefully she will be able to travel in the morning.

@DavidTipton101 Год назад

Hi Jerry, thanks for watching my reruns 🙂 We see on the news the heavy snow you guys are getting. I can't imagine getting snowed in, your daughter was lucky finding somewhere to lodge till the snow cleared, so many others would have been stuck as well 👍🙂

@stephengorin3059 2 года назад

And another radio under your belt. Yes a simple basic overhaul, and a great job in teaching how to do the setting up of the radio's front end. That peroxide trick is a good one on plastic cases and the case came up like a new one. Look forward to your next installment.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Thank you Stephen, I had a bit of time so I though I would explain more during the alignment, it seemed to work. The peroxide works very well. Next video in three weeks 👍🙂

@sterlinsilver 2 года назад

That's a really cool and unusual design- the bottom trim reminds me of old motel signs from the late 1950s

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Sterlin Silver, I know, I love the retro design, I tried to find some photos with that type of writing but couldn't. I remember seeing it on a shop in Melbourne in the 70s 🙂

@nevellgreenough404 2 года назад

Your front-end alignment tutorial is excellent! Consider continuing on to the I.F. and audio, placing real radio components and tubes on the block diagram as you go. This shows exactly what you are doing and makes the process very clear to everyone! Thanks, Nevell- member of the New Jersey Antique Radio Club.

Dave, I had to watch this again, it explains the IF of these type of sets better then I have ever seen on the Web and I spend my entire days watching this type of videos since I have been interested in tube sets since my youth when I would stand behind my father as he worked on our old battery pack sets in the 1950's.

It is always a treat to watch one of your restorations, performed with consummate care and attention to detail. My first experience with valve radios was with my grandfather in the sixties in his workshop/ bedroom and it is great to see you bring so many back to full health. We trust your doctors will do the same for you.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Dave, thank you. I heard so many stories from commenters saying they remember there Dad or Grandfather working on these radios back in the day. I too hope my doctors can do it for me 🙂

@orionwarren4244 2 года назад

I enjoy watching your electronic repair adventures back in time, David. Those times had their problems for sure but they also held promise for the future. Not so today, I'm afraid. Maybe because I'm old I tend to wax nostalgic but...for me personally? I'm not very optimistic in light of the current state of 'things'. Here's to your health problems being sorted out, cheers!

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Thank you Orion, hang in there we will get though the troubles of today, it's only a blip in the scheme of things and will soon be in the past and we can worry about a new set of problems 👍🙂

@carlosandino821 2 года назад

I was surprised to learn that a radio from this time was still valved. Even for the 1970s it was rare to find tube radios as the transistor became very popular in the previous decade. Greetings from Brazil!

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Carlos from Brazil. I think this model was the last of the valve radios in Australia and ran till 1975. The Australian electronics industry had almost collapsed by then and I guess they thought to keep producing them till they stopped selling, Aussies still preferred valves for some reason. Thanks Carlos 🙂

@carlosandino821 2 года назад

@@DavidTipton101 In fact, I appreciate the explanation. I believe that the use of tube radios remained due to the fact that the sound produced in tube radios is of better quality than that of transistor radios. I know that better quality sound systems, even today, are produced with tube equipment due to the fact that they have a clearer sound and are more specific for people who have a more refined hearing. This may be an explanation why Australians' preference for tube radios lasted longer than expected.

Those Ducon caps are well made Aussie quality. I've never had to replace the ones Ive come across previously. Great video again David. Good to see you're doing well.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

The electros seemed to be in good condition but I don't leave any 50 year old caps in, I've been bitten before. I'm going alright ATM, cheers and thanks 998cooper 😀

Fantastic job again David! That really cleaned up really well and sounds great too. Really nice tuning explanation with great visual aids. Thanks for another great video!

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Gregg, thank you. It's a nice little radio, looks good on the shelf. As I said there wasn't much to do on this radio so I took the time to explain what I was doing during the alignment, it seemed to go down well. Cheers, take care 🙂

What a great little radio! I was expecting to see horrors under that sawdust. What a pleasant surprise that it was so clean. Aussie radios of the late 60's apparently had much better build quality than ones here in the States. I actually live about 30 miles from Cape Canaveral and have been to more launches than I can remember. They say that when the big Saturn 5 rockets would take off in the late 1960's that it would rattle windows almost 50 miles away. I missed those, but I'm looking forward to seeing SpaceX eventually launch their giant Starship rockets from the Cape in the future. That was a great explanation of how tube radios work, and cleared up some things that I didn't fully understand. Not all of us watching your videos are tube radio gurus and I appreciate the thorough explanations.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Thanks Dennis, I agree. I can't compare them to US built ones but these were well designed and built and remarkably reliable. It would have been amazing to watch the launch of the Saturn 5's I hope you get to see SpaceX. Thanks, I was unsure if I had been clear enough with my explanation so I appreciate the feedback. I think all the gurus tuned out long ago 😄

Hello Sir David. Great to wake up and watch your new endeavor! You have a new radio! I too still prefer valves, or tubes here in the US. this will make a great companion in your wood working shop. 😉 Thanks for you excellent instructions and entertainment. Makes my day much better!

By the late 60's early 70's they really had the simplicity versus performance ratio down to a fine art. As usual a lovely restoration and a nice tutorial to go with it. Always look forward to your video's.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

I agree Ian, this is a good example of that. Thanks Ian, it was my pleasure 😀
