Part 2 This Philips radio was built in Holland in the early 40s while under German control. The owner would like it restored while maintaining the patina and physical artefacts of history. It's in very poor condition and needs a lot of work. This week I attempt to make a new damper cover for the speaker and a last minute failure sends me on a search for parts in the UK.

As a Dutchman myself I say thank you for restoring this Dutch glory. As usual you went al the way, especially restoring the valves, gluing them together, painting them, even sewing the fabric which goes around the loudspeaker. You do it all and that is amazing. Thank you again.

@electronicsoldandnew 2 года назад

Great job again. With all that sewing, rebuilding tubes and polishing of your knob, it’s not hard to see why your videos are an integral part of my Fridays. By the way, I bought a pack of Carls Caps, and was really surprised at how quickly they got here. Thanks for the tip.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Manuel, thank you. I have been busy of late 😄 Carls caps have been very good, no failures and consistent quality. I saw you used some in the Philips. If you buy from his eBay store, ask for combined postage, he will generally adjust the postage if possible.

@raymondmenard5444 2 года назад

Ah man this is your funniest video to date, couldn’t stop laughing at the certified ‘’Knitwit’’ part, i was just catching my breath when you got to polishing your knob in the garage bit and i’m still giggling all by myself in front of the computer. You do have a very understanding wife mate. Great work as usual, the end result is astonishing, the radio looks like it just came out of the factory. Great historical background as well. You’re the best at what you do Dave period !

This was a great video, Dave! I nominate this for an academy award. It had everything! It had drama, it had comedy, it had adventure and yes, even a happy ending! I have to thank you for getting me back into the hobby which I had abandoned for some years. I've restored four sets now and still have a few more that have been gathering dust and calling for attention. I owe my renewed interest directly as a result of stumbling across your RU-vid channel. I will refrain from the 'It's A Wonderful Life' analogies of how one persons life can be affected so much by another's, by simply thanking you!

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Tim, I was too late for the nominations and I can't nominate myself apparently. I'm glad you regained your interest in old radios and it was my pleasure to help you along, Cheers! 🙂

@CraneofBoulogne 27 дней назад

Very interesting radio restoration! Owning a radio built by the Dutch at a time of German occupation is an interesting conversation piece as well. Phillips built very nice radios for a long time, maybe not as nice as German radios, and those German boys were proud of that no doubt. I expect it was tough working for them at that time, no doubt always armed and dangerous; adds a new dimension to fearing the boss at work!

@DavidTipton101 27 дней назад

Hi Jeff, it's hard to imagine that entire situation. The radio is quite complex as well, I wonder sometimes if it was built in that time 🙂

Hi Graham, thanks I will keep your Philips valve stash in mind. You do a lot of Bush radios you wouldn't happen to have any info on a 1936 Bush BP5 battery radio loop antenna would you.

@hijmestoffels5171 2 года назад

The original owner probably didn’t enjoy the radio for long, because in 1943 the Dutch were obliged by the German occupier to hand in their radios. Listening to the radio was forbidden. I did enjoy this video very much, especially the Knitting part. I’ve also downloaded the book “Van microfoon tot oor”, very interesting!

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Hijme, the radios manufacture date is uncertain but I was surprised the Germans allowed domestic radios to be manufactured at all. You are right that they confiscated them. My sewing technique could could use a little work 😄 Thanks Hijme, I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍🙂

@lenhunter2719 2 года назад

Brilliant restoration as always Dave, loved the sewing lesson as well as the frankenvalve. Way back in the late sixties until probably mid eighties I used to get "Practical Electronics", "Practical Wireless" and "Electronics Today International" magazines regularly at our local news agent. They were UK magazines, I also used to get "Elektor" as well if I saw something worthwhile in the contents. I still have a box full of these in a cupboard, built many interesting gadgets from them over the years. I'm approaching my 3 score and 10 so maybe time to flip through them once more then send them off to recycling, I don't think my kids or grandkids would be interested. Keep well and all the best from a hot and horribly muggy Pinetown, South Africa.

@grahamserle7930 2 года назад

Well I've seen it all now and so have your pub mates. I can hear them now, "I thought there was something odd about this Dave guy, do you know that he sews, maybe he makes his wife's dresses". Only joken, when I was young my Mum taught me how to knit and darn socks. There was something about that era where you actually learnt to fix and make things because you had to. I hope Mrs Dave appreciated the effort involved in achieving a shiny knob as well. Nice video Dave with lots of innovative fixes.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Hi Graham, my pub mates were very understanding, instead of talking footy we swap dress patterns now 😉 My Mum used to darn socks too, she had an orange darning dolly I recall. My wife was disappointed with my knob effort unfortunately, she said she had seen better 😏 Thanks Graham.

Hi Ron, my wife says the same thing so it must be true. Thanks, the radio came up quite well and the owner was happy with it.

@@DavidTipton101 It just dawned on me, that is a NAZI radio, works great considering that fact, perhaps Phillips used some of the internees to build their product as history tells us those folks did when they took over major companies in occupied countries. Makes a person wonder at the true history of some of the products that came out of that horror that overtook Europe in the late 30's to the mid 40's. I wrote to one of mothers cousins back when I was young, she lived in Germany through that period, her reply surprised the heck out of me. She wanted me to pass on her thanks for the care packages that my folks sent to Germany to help them survive the hardship following the war. I never knew that part of our family history. Some things just never get passed on from generation to generation. It sort of makes me a bit more open about my families adventures when my children were little and I was serving as a Soldier in the US Army in the 70's.

Another great restoration Dave. Im really impressed with your efforts rebuilding the tubes. I would never think of trying it but I might just have to give it a go.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

Thank you Paul-Ivo B. The knob didn't come up all that well no matter how I tried and believe me I tried 😉🙂

@LarryDeSilva64 2 года назад

That was a lot of pulleys to go through to get that dial cord on Dave. You did have quite a few challenges with this one Dave, but you worked through them again and did a really great job. Thanks for the interesting and informative video. Hope all continues to go well with your health so we continue to see more of your radio adventures.

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

A pretty simple string layout LL and easy to get at thankfully. I'm getting much better these days, almost back to normal thank you. Thanks LUCKYLARRY, I appreciate your support 👍🙂

@PaulinesPastimes 2 года назад

I'll actually write words this time 😊. Another lovely rescue with some good laughs thrown in. I was yelling at the screen when you were using that 'sewing machine'. I learned a lot from the valve shielding method. I once owned a Relton console radio back in the mid 1970s and had the same cap falling off thing. I had a friend who knew his way around a soldering iron (and owned one) and I managed to solder the cap back on and glued it in place with Araldite (no JBWeld then I don't think). It worked fine but it was terrifying at the time. I think I have done one or two since but never had to file the glass away to get enough wire, that's scary. Excellent Teutonic style radio. No frivolous excess there! 😊

@DavidTipton101 2 года назад

HI Pauline, I apologise for my sewing attempt, I hope your screen is OK. I have refitted many loose valve caps and it's not a problem but this one I could only see the top of the broken wire even after filing the glass a bit, I doubt it will last long if put into service. We used a two part mix back in the 70s that had the same smell and look as JB Weld, I used to call it Let-go Weld because it sounded similar to that, a quick Google didn't find any results. Thanks Pauline 👍🙂

BTW I have a ECH3, I dont now anything about it but thinks it is used and I can not test it but have continuety on the heater, I maybe can get a nos tube otherwise.

Hi Leif, thank you. I hope you can get back to your project soon, maybe it needs a speaker cover 👍🙂
