Our good will gets scalped b4 the bins even go out. Those people are evil af. Great radio. Perfect for restoring. Change the big paper and wax round cylindrical caps when u get a chance. They are almost always bad and if they aren’t bad then they are on their way out. If one of those go and it’s across the power supply, it will destroy the rectifier tube. Which, buying tubes by the single can be expensive. Look for alternatives if needed. They should all be glowing too. I imagine it works well enough, u can hear static. If you really want performance u want to change out old ceramic caps, and some resistors that look like they could soak up moisture. If you want to tune it like an asshole like me, a vna is helpful. A cheap oscilloscope with signal gen is also good to have. And a spectrum analyzer. NanoVNA and nanoSA, mini scopes are everywhere, get one that goes to 100mhz at least. I use a miniDSO which i think is as low as 65. I paid 85 but that was years ago. U can do allot with a scope. If u have to get anything first, get a scope. Even a 20 dollar scope will get u through tuning, provided its not lost in the sauce from somone screwdrivering it. U can polish up that face too with toothpaste or scrub daddy then toothpaste but it’s gonna be like work. A buffing wheel and compound are better. If you need good info on radios mrcarlsonslab does allot of great work. Hes the high standard of electronics education. Im always happy to answer questions, just leave a random comment, ill get it. Ill likely post what to start with when u open a radio. I just realized i haven’t done that. The nanoSA also has a signal generator so u can test ur radio. It makes alignment easy because u just turn the screw to where its loudest. Ull want a plastic screwdriver too. Trim screwdriver? I just realized also, all this time Idk what that tool is called. I just get them with my scope probes lol.

It's not shortwave it's AM, and if that's the case you can repair it with rocks

It is a short wave radio, meaning you can hear stations from around the world as you can see different countries on the dial. I'll let you Google short wave for an explanation, no need repeating it here. Old radios are cool, some have the radio station call signs on the dial. I have an old one from the 1930's. Some of the radio stations on the dial are still operating.

Don't turn it on. The dielectric in the capacitors are mostly dried up and may act like shorts. This can damage the vacuum tubes and transformer.

My family fixed radios, TV's, radio stations, and tv stations. This radio is capable of tuning and listening to today's AM frequencies. The dial has markings that read "Meter", "KC", and "MC". The Meter is the wavelength in meters, KC stands for Kilo Cycles, and MC stands for Mega Cycles. Back then, they called cycles by its name but is now refered to as Hertz. So, the KC can be viewed today as KHz or AM band. Although, AM really means how the radio waves are made to transport the audio, "Amplitude Modulation", which is how all the frequecies are made that this radio is capable of picking up. All that being said, this radio was made in an era where most things were made to be fixed. This is no exception. It can be made to work and look good again. The question is though, what are you really wanting out of this? Is it to just function, look good, or both? My best guess is the cost could be as low as $100 to $2,000. If it's just a couple of internal parts that are needed, it's going to be on the low end. If you're going for a full restoration, it's on the higher end. You've got at least two disiplines here for a full restoration, an electronics expert and a carpenter. If it were me, I would get the electronics to a functional state, have the dials and face gently cleaned, and get the fabric replaced. If the wood and finish looks good, keep the petina look to it and put it on the mantle. All of that said, I would make a budget of $600 to ship it to an electronics expert to get the internals reconditioned and perhaps have a local upholster redo the fabric. Again, I dont know how bad the radio is, so this estimate can be more or less. Those are my thoughts. Thanks for posting this. This brought back some great memories for me!

Great video, God bless.

5 min in and elated to have a long video from you!!!!!!

Welcome back!! Love to see your adventures.

Loving Hands is my favorite thrift store!!! ❤

Those blue dishes aren’t depression glass. They were made in Mexico. They are called Forte Crisa .

OH MY GOLLY! Thank you so much for featuring the Loving Hands Thrift! We love the piece! Come see us again! @lovinghandsthriftstore

Hi!!! That’s my store! Segunda Vida! I was scrolling RUclips looking for thrift store videos in Bradenton and came across yours. Love it so much! I really like your format of the video too because you do nice walk-throughs and show a lot of items. Very relaxing and informative! And yes, we are all learning. Some of these comments are pretty rude. Your openness to learning is great! I’m in the same boat😅 It’s really funny because I definitely remember seeing you at Goodwill that day. I was telling my husband, that I’m pretty sure you were in our store, but I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t 100% sure. Between having a store and working in customer service before, I know so many faces in Bradenton, and I hate to mix up where I know them from. If you ever see me out in the wild again, please say hi! I love to connect with people. Thanks so much for shopping with us:) and thank you for the wonderful video! You are so kind 💚

Beautiful finds! I love that cast-iron piece. Merry Christmas! 🎄🥳🎅

All dresses are nice but first one gives Christmas the most❤

The first dress so cute on u but i like them all happy holidays❤😊😊😊

The first one gold color was so pretty on you 🦋Merry Christmas 🤶🎄☃️

Nickel is not electroplated over sterling. If you are talking about epns thats called nickel plated silver which is an alloy of nickel, zinc, and copper . It contains no silver what so ever and was developed in the 1800's to mimic sterling. Very common and of little value today.

Love this song forever

That's chaz not homosassa

I like the voice overs much better than the song. 😊 thanks for the video! Have you gone to red, white, and blue on 41 in Bradenton yet?

I'm 2 hours and 15 mins away. My next trip!! Would love to kayak.

We missed you! Would love to see you bring vintage lighting back to life😍😍😍😍

That is adorable. I love Boho stuff. It looks really cute on you!

So glad you are back.

I should try the "Bins" again because you never know what will be brought out. I just didn't like the whole process of standing near the new bins until they shout "GO". The people can get aggressive

You should buy a lot of that stuff and flip it

Your electroplated dish is not over Sterling. That statement alone provides all we need to know about your expertise.

I went to visit my friend in Bradenton Florida and I think we went to every thrift shop in town

I like hearing your thoughts 👍and like to know what interests you!❤️

Fun video with mum and gram! Thanks for sharing!❤️

Awesome video

Very pretty. ❤

Awesome video

The little Wade whimsies a lot of people collect those little tiny treasures just started watching you ty for the road trips 🦋

All Hula dancers are not created equal. The one you bought for $4.00 was a newer version. The one in the antique mall was an older vintage one, and looked more authentic and better made. Hence the cost difference. $20.00 was actually a good price for that.

I'm sorry but I just can't watch goodwill,and most thrift store videos because I don't resale I only buy lol,I just can't find what I want at this point in my life at those places.But I will be at all your antique store videos and fun with mom😊

Its nice to see MT Dora from another perspective, I've only seen it on the My take on home and garden channel,that guy cracks me up check him out his wife works and he stays home and decorates,cooks,shops and is very proud of it all lol. you keep on collecting and shopping your little heart out and I'm coming along lol.

I love to sub to new peeps that are so courous, excited, vintage lovers, I love mcm so much because its so fun and colorful!your gonna have so much fun,I'm in Washington State way on the other side of the map lol.😊 I'll be back.

She looks like that little woman in a Clint Eastwood movie 😃

Great video Lindsay!!! Great job filming!!! It is so hard to shop and film at the same time. Mt. Dora is a great small town. I will check out that Antique store the next time I’m in Florida. 😊

Great Find 🎉

Lol. I've dashed into gw at 20 minutes before closing and scored some goodies. We have to thrift when we can. I enjoy your positive attitude, good camera work and appreciation of nature. Thanks for sharing your Mother's Day surprise with your brother and Mom.

Wow, what an accomplishment! Brava!👏👏👏 congratulations, and I enjoyed your testimony at the end. My daughter is very brave like you. She ran the 10k over the skyway bridge this year and she runs daily as well. She will be 45 in July, but still seems like a 25-year-old. Usually she runs on the beach when she’s in Bradenton.

beach looks good

Blue coral that necklace was the natural color of the coral. That was a good buy.

Hi, it's fun to see someone else thrifting in my area. I'm a reseller too. Don Kiker shows his travels to the different thrift stores in Bradenton and Sarasota too.

Renningers worth going to only when the vendors from all over the country come and set up for a long weekend 3 times a year. You pay a nominal fee to get in and we have found some amazing things there.

Those clear blue dishes are not depression era. I saw a name on the bottom but could read it. Gene Florence was a great collector and writer of books on different subjects. My mother had 1 of his depression glass books which she all but memorized. I still use it as a go too reference. Please find a copy and buy it. The depression actually lasted much longer than 1939, as my parents lived thru those years, and my grandparents. Oh yes, barware is very hot right now, and ice buckets have been on a upward swing in the selling markets. Geroge Breard is quite a hot brand bringing great money!!!!!

Congratulations 🎉

You popped up on my feed today so it’s the first time I’ve watched. Saw both part one and two. I really enjoyed seeing Mount Dora as I’ve never been there even though I’m a Florida native and live in your town. 😂
