We are in Melbourne selling my Mother-in-Law's house. While traveling through Sydney I was given this radio by a relative. I have some spare time so I will have a look at it. I don't have much equipment but we can check it out and see if it works. Later next month I was given two other radios, I'll have a quick look at them as well.

Isn’t it disappointing when people give you radios that work 😊 They should be more accommodating to restorers 😂 Hope you’re still enjoying your travels.

Lucky Dave, 2 out of three radios working, not bad 👍 The Paillard is Swiss made BTW, was an upmarket brand back then. I could not help notice the beautiful tortoiseshell pattern on the Mullard bakelite when it was wet. There is a stuff for sale here in Germany called "Owatrol" and they also sell a plastic reviver for car bumpers and such. Makes weathered bakelite look like new because it fills up the pores and then goes hard. That Plain Jane Mullard could become a real beaut... BTW, let me know when you are home again, there is something set to go 🙂 Cheers from Deutschland, have a safe trip..

@DavidTipton101 4 месяца назад

Hi Blitz. Yes, I have been corrected on the country of origin. We can get Owatrol here but there are a number of products available, which one should I use? Ok, won't be home for few weeks yet. We have covide so treading water until that passes 🙄 Thanks Blitz.

Ooow Mullard, i have always thought about valves when the mullard name is used. The massive diodes in that radio just made me laugh, talk about overboard lol.

@DavidTipton101 4 месяца назад

I agree zx8401ztv, the Mullard name is synonymous with old radios. They were what diodes looked like back in the day 🙂

@zx8401ztv 4 месяца назад

I have a book called " Everymans wireless by f j Cam " And a Oldham press from millions of years ago. The valves were very odd looking, some had screw terminals on the side of the base, really odd. Different but not. The capacitors were oblong boxes with terminals on the top, i think ill stay with modern solder types. Sorry Waffle mode lol.

@xsc1000 4 месяца назад

Those massive looking diodes were standard diodes in 60s-70s. Something like 1N4007 today.

Hi David. Great seeing you enjoying a Bishop's Finger over there! On a cautionary note you probably know care needs to be taken when using abrasives on bakelite due to asbestos commonly having been used within it. Only in later years and as countries became aware of the hazards was its use eventually phased out in bakelite production.

Hello Larry, Mullard were based in the UK and were wholly owned by Philips. They were one of the biggest valve manufacturers in Europe so it's no wonder they were known for they valves and not radios outside of the UK. This radio is a rebadged Philips Australia.

You have it at room or cellar temperature, meaning it's not chilled. If we did that here is would be over 20C 🙂

2 old working radios out of 3 ain't a bad score, granted they might not look as nice as other projects you've done or have on the back burner, but personally i'd really like to see what you would do to improve the Mullard's Bakelite finish. As you know i had issues with a Grundig bakelite cabinet recently, so i would more than welcome the knowledge. Nice to see the workshop clean out is done although it meant you had to work on cardboard boxes... Have a great day, hope the house sells quickly, thank's for the video Dave 🙂

@DavidTipton101 4 месяца назад

Hello Raymond. I might attempt the Mullard case just to see if it can be restored. As a radio, it wouldn't be worth much so I wouldn't sink too much time into it. They are nice radios to listen to though. Thanks Raymond 👍🙂

I like it when you work on the American radios, A good challenge would be a zenith h725,b835,c845 the later 2 have fm afc, anyways the last 3 of the 4 I worked on had silver mica disease.

I have the same Mullard, the dial glass looks fantastic and it has 3 color. It is the highlight of this radio. Shame that yours isn't that good.

@DavidTipton101 4 месяца назад

Hi Khaled, this may have been sold at a lower price point hence the single colour dial. At least it will be easier to replicate 😀

@Wenlocktvdx 4 месяца назад

The size of the transformer in the homemade radio makes me wonder if it came from a TV. Think the Mullard is probably worth it

@DavidTipton101 4 месяца назад

It is very big, bigger than the radio needs. It could be from a TV 👍🙂
