Testing a Vintage Heathkit Signal Generator Tube Radio Model SG 8 

New t-shirt idea. Instead of 'It's broke' this channel will offer a 'It's tuned !' version or 'It's tuned people !' 👕

As a SPEECH Expert, I can tell how much you enjoy doing this by the tone in your voice... I do expect that at sometime, after you fix something, you will get up and start to DANCE!!!! 🙂 Robert

Its a signal generator that plays music people and what a beauty it is too 📻

Favorite radio video is when Ronnie says, “I’ll take this radio for $10” seller says “I BET YOU WILL!”

Mr Carlsons Lab is a wonderful source to learn about aligning radios.

I must say you make great and funny videos, keep them coming!

I remember seeing a vintage late 1940's or early 50's art deco style slide lap guitar for playing Hawaiian or country music back in the day that had the same (extremely obscure) screw-on cord connector like those 3 screw-on contact coax input connectors on the old signal generator.

I got one just like. It seems to work. I also have an Operadio pa amplifier 1937 vintage.

Love all your vids Ronnie, I especially enjoy amateur repair time tho, kinda "out of your element" repairs and it just shows that with a little time and a brain you can fix most anything. Always loved your style too, light hearted and entertaining. Nothing big to say here just a positive comment and hopefully it will put a smile on your face! Keep em coming Ronnie, enjoyed as always buddy! :)

nothing wrong with the heathkit stuff, service grade equipment vs lab grade equipment to me and service grade for aligning/checking old radios is plenty. to couple it to your radio use a clip and get a length of wire make a small loop and hang it near the antenna. the capacitor is needed if you hook directly to the circuit. very entertaining content here!

Love it when you stick it to the haters Ronnie

I gave up listening to my local stations here in my little area of Western Australia years ago. In the Bunbury WA area, I have access to Hit FM! (95.7 FM), Triple J (99.3 FM), Triple M SouthWest (936.0 AM), Spirit Radio (621 AM), and ABC SouthWest WA (684 AM), and they all suck (based on my likes). Unfortunately due to how radios work over here, they only transmit with just enough power to cover the areas they are licensed to cover. On an extremely, EXTREMLY clear day, you can pick up 92.9FM (Triple M Perth), but only in certain areas of where I live. So I listen to the radio via the Internet, my preference is for 96FM (Broadcasts out of Perth to the Perth and surrounds areas). I like the station because it plays music from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and some more modern ones from the 00s on occasions :) It's always fascination watching your radio repair videos, and just seeing how far your stations can broadcast, even our AM ones aren't allowed to broadcast those kinds of distances, and Western Australia is huge compared to any other US state.

Turn the modulation pot up (audio in/out) then you will hear the signal from the sig gen as a tone from the radio
