The Ten Commandments is a 1923 American silent religious epic film
Such a bright and clear picture. It seems that so many early films are faded and muddy
Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous!!!!
I have a 1127 on my sequoia but I can't find that connector
The connector is there, maybe under the carpet, or maybe they ran the cable/wires along another path. Might want to check the wiring diagram for the year/model. Good luck hope u find it.
Entertaining......funny......love Louise Brooks....
Such a shame about Gregory Kelly..he seemed very talented.
Gregory Kelly, the brother, was already ill when he made this movie & died a year later. He was married to Ruth Gordon & made just 2 films. Ford Sterling is a real hoot playing this super annoying character---he was mainly known as the Police Chief of the Keystone Cops.
Credit the naturalism of the acting to director Malcolm St. Clair. Miss Brooks disgraced herself when she described St. Clair as an incompetent and drunk. A pity.
The Narcissist would have been a more accurate title.
Took me 8 hours a day for three hours and I was using a Hakko de-soldering tool. (NC-173) You’re fast. Mine was a wreck though. I had to re-wire tons of stuff along the way. I plan on adding that product detector mod you speak of. Right now I’m adding a crystal calibrator which required adding the second octal jack on back. Mine is an early -173 and didn’t have one. I’m using push/pull on/off pits on the volume and tone to control the calibrator. It’s a National XCU-27. I’m not sure about your carbon resistors, but some of mine were double the marked resistance. Love how you used those very nice Vishay resistors.
All 80% of the carbons were double like you said. Funny that your bring up product detector, yesterday i just finished building one using a 6j6 tube that plugs into the accessory socket. Looks clean, i used some old metal relay enclosure, actually looks as if it came from the factory. I'll make a video soon, I have a National HRO-50 that i need to bring up to working condition, considering painting it since its rusty, besides i hate that gray color National uses. So look out for that video i should post soon! and thanks for your interest and comments!
Thanks for sharing; and what a superb print....
Where's the footsie scene under the dinner table?
Wow. Nicely done. Are those new brown Vishay precision resistors? Also, the mod you were describing as a product detector appeared to have two relays on top? Were they, or something else?
Hello, yes they are Vishay resisters. The relays are something else, i think it this receiver was used with a transmitter, looks like high voltage was cut off the receiver when transmitter kicked on. At the end i removed the product, i found a neat schematic for a modern product detector, but was too lazy to wire it on, thanks for watching!
Remade with Spencer Tracy and again with red Skelton and Marilyn Maxwell. I haven’t seen this version. (Original?)
So i found one of these in my garage today... plugged in a headset, and the antenna amplification seemed to have some effect on the sound output but it wasn't picking up anything; where to start...?
Hello, the receiver dates back to the 1940's, so with time they will develop corrosion on the switches and contacts. Before you plug it in, i recommend you use some contact cleaner and spray all switches and contacts. Also, most likely you will have a few faulty resistors or capacitors, thus the receiver might not work. Most importantly you will have the original wax yellow capacitors, those defiantly need to be replaced. they leak current and will degrade the receiver and sometimes will tend to short out and become resistors rather than capacitors. I would not use it until you replace all those yellow waxy capacitors, or you might damage the power supply. The one you see in this video, i replaced all components.
Good job, what is the name of product you use to achieve a result like this?
I used rust removal type solution, it was not harsh on the components nor on the cloth wires at all. Then I used aluminum polish. Thanks for watching.
Love Louise Brooks! And it's fun to see the silent version of a film better known through its sound remakes.
I'd like to hear this tube amp sound.
Thanks for the comment, give me a few days, i'll post a quick video on how it sounds and do little more on the inner workings and share a schematic.
@@thevintageaudiolife thanks for your respond. I hope the audio input source from vinyl player instead of using mp3 player.
@@pepsodentpasta as a matter of fact, i have been wanting to make a video of my home build Marantz M7. I've been using it for years. I paired it with a Garrad that i rewired the tone arm with new silver wire. I'll post and play! thanks!
Who can help me build one of these?
Hello, I will upload another video, hopefully this can guide you to information on how to build this amp. Thank you
The way you did it is very neat 😊
Thank you.
Was Louise Brooks ever NOT one of the most beautiful women on screen? She's almost luminous here, especially next to most of the other players. There's also a great inside joke involving the car. When Sterling calls his wife, he says his Uncle George Stitch left him the shares. Sterling's real name was George Ford Stitch! Thanks for the upload.
Nice film ❤
Здравствуйте 😊😊 Интересная у вас конечно конструкция 😊😊 Я такую раньше не видел. Я ✍️ Ся,вы?
Of course, Louise Brooks was the star of this movie but do not forget the inimitable Fritz Rasp as Meinert. He also appeared in Fritz Lang´s Metropolis as "Der Schmale".
Yes! thats correct, He portrayed the mysterious "Der Schmale" ("The Thin Man") in Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927)
Can we hear it?
I build amps too and I find that 12AU7 does give you lower volume and less gain but it loses something tone wise. Also, a deluxe has two channels so you have a volume for each and a shared tone. The two channels are interactive so you use the two channels in conjunction because the volumes affect the volume tone and gain of one channel even though you are plugged in the other. You can even jumper the channels to get more crunch. It is a unique design that you basically tweak all three knobs and get a nice rhythm tone, to clean up you turn the guitar volume knob down, to get lead tone use an overdrive.
I have one. Beautiful radio!
Stunning . Thank you so much
Thank you! 😊
Waiting to see where on the top chassis the pad for Band 2 is located. Great video series! Subscribed.
Thanks for your comment, I ran into several issues with video on RF alignment, stay tuned!
Re: Toggle switches. If you use the dim bulb tester as a load for each switch it will rejuvenate the switches.
Absolutely fabulous

Thank you, I will soon start posting more content, for one i need to rebuild my long random length wire shortwave antenna. I've been experimenting with wire type. I will post a quick video soon! thanks everyone!
Louise Brooks bella eternamente 12:56
Vanadium and Manganese both actually _will_ prevent rusting and corrosion. Just as Joe stated of his invention and as Aubrey boasted during his sales pitch. And as always Louise Brooks was an absolute knock out!
I Wonder If Louise Brooks Could Have Been A Star, If She Were In Hollywood Now.Of Course As She Was Then !! The Most Beautiful Actress In Hollywood!!
Cut the music. Makes it hard to hear your voice.
Will do, no more music on any of my videos, this one video was just an error.
Oi amigo boa noite onde vc está ???
Olá, estou localizado em Los Angeles, Califórnia.
A repair note is not a "hidden repair message". I have a pre Civil War era melodeon (reed organ) and a repairer left a "good luck and God bless" message inside in 1878. That's a message.
Muito top parabéns
Muito obrigado, por favor, continue assistindo e me apoiando, se você tiver um vídeo especial que deseja que eu faça, por favor me avise.
Thank you very much for posting this.
I love watching you do what you are doing , but that music?? is driving me crazzzy!!!
My friend either I'm older that background music is too loud to hear your voice well. Continue watching this video
This would be much better without the music.
Would you please not play that insipid music over and over and over during your video. That ruins it.
this looks great, and i dig the handles. gotta have a headphone jack. funny i was wantin to build a 1626 amp with headphone jack and i came across this in my first search.
Thanks for your input, yeah if you have the time and parts I recommend you put one together.
is this a the darling circuit or a version of it, @@thevintageaudiolife ?
Good question, it's been years since i built this, i want to say darling circuit since it was the circuit everyone was using at this time. Or did i use triode mode simple circuit? aghh i don't recall honestly, i'll dig it out soon and do a part two video and hook it up, i know a few folks have been asking for me to hook it up and play it. Keep you posted!@@ceylonmooney
Still waiting on the front end RF alignment video from the previous SX-25 you did.
Thank you. We'll be watching.
Mystery word written on chassis (10:20) is "Relay". The lead from the antenna terminal to the grid cap of the 6K8 might have been installed to bypass a defective antenna coil. Given the condition of this chassis it would be useful to check the integrity of the IF transformers, and the antenna and RF coils so you'll know what components you'll need to locate if the set is ever going to work. I'm looking forward to watching you work on this chassis!
Thanks for the input, after closer inspection i think one of the antenna coils might be damaged. Looks like it was poked with a sharp object and might have nicked the enamel wire, but not 100% sure yet, need to test things. Thanks!
