Thank you for sharing your expertise and wisdom. I started out on tube radios in the 70s and made a career of bench electronics. I ended up doing computer work but it was totally unsatisfying. I retired earlier this year and just bought a Crosley Fiver that I plan on restoring. I wanted my grand kids to have the thrill of waiting for a radio to warm up, hear the initial crackle in the speaker and smell the dust burning off the components. This is a lost art that you are sharing and I appreciate your efforts to post the video!
You're a genius Ron. 99% of radio collectors would give up on that pot metal issue. Great work. Your such an inspiration with your determined approach. Thank you. By the way, I always liked that model Crosley. Treat yourself to the matching speaker. They often come up on eBay. I heard they often have the dreaded pot-metal issues too, but I'm sure that won't stop you!
Your technical knowledge is amazing and outstanding!!! You are an encyclopedia of electronic knowledge and I hope you will continue to dazzle us with more restorations!!! Thank you!!!
49:00 - It's a sobering thought that everyone who designed, engineered, assembled, sold, bought (with the exception of yourself) this radio, and each and every component within, and probably the very companies involved, are dead. Yet this device, their brainchild, still exists and still works. I am reminded of a great toast: "To distant friends... though they are far away, we recognize them with our glasses."
The most beautiful work I have ever seen done on devices so rich in history. My heartfelt congratulations, I follow you from Italy and I don't miss a single of your shots. I envy you for the beautiful radios you find
You sir are a magician of the vintage radio world, well done! Love your videos. “Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into are awake through years with transferred touch, and go on glowing for long years. And for this reason, some old things are lovely warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.” ― D.H. Lawrence
Love all your projects, Ron! Happy to see more of them now we are all in lockdown. I'll be starting to work on my own Electronic Breaker very soon. Keep up the great work!
Brilliant repair! That tuning condenser , i think that the problem is the infamous ZAMAK. The problem with zamak is that some iron gaps, contained in the zinc of which the zamak is mainly composed, oxidize, and destroy the zamak from the inside making it swollen. I had this problem in an Akai reel-to-reel tape recorder. Some cams made of zamak had disintegrated.
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
Thanks Ron, I agree with Dr. TeddyMMM - please - no croaking !! I think you're awesome and I so enjoy all of your videos - - talk about a wide ranging skill set - - seen you make tubes, seen you make various parts from scratch - - not to mention the repairs of broken parts often employing JB Weld - - all that and then you make the electronic repairs seem as easy as rolling of of bed - fantastic!
In the close-up shots of the tuning condenser vanes adjustments, I couldn't take my eyes away from the cracks in the metal and thought to myself, "Oh that's going to be a problem later." Turns out it was sooner than later :)
An even more interesting video this time, Ron, with the lathe work and milling - so absorbing watching your practical expertise. But the thing that struck me was the amount of engineering that went into the construction of the tuning condenser - so many brackets, bushes, bearings, shafts, unique grub screws, etc. (not to mention the dodgy pot metal), needed to create a component that would be so simply made nowadays. This has been an aspect of most of the old radios that you have repaired in your RUclips videos - I mean the sheer 'clunkiness' of their physical construction. Fascinating how engineering progress and plastics have changed the world!
Labor was a lot cheaper back then, even correcting for the inflation. While those old radios were very complicated for what they were, take a look at the insides of a CD drive or old VCR. The idea that these are made by the millions is totally unreal!
I like the way you started to say "variable capacitor" and then remembered this is an old-time set and corrected yourself to "tuning condenser" instead. :) I think, looking in old radios and seeing the plates of tuning caps was the very first thing that got me in electronics.... even before I saw a tube glow.
Wow that was awesome. It is neat that you have your own machine shop. I have some machining background. I'm trying to learn how to repair radios. I am an Extra Class ham radio operator and that is what sparked my interest in electronics and radios. I just found you today.
I’ve restored/repaired a few radios in my life. Nevertheless, I’m nowhere near your level of expertise. I would do some things differently, but above all....I very much believe anybody can learn something from anybody else. I have learned several things from your videos! Thanks for taking the time to share! It is very appreciated!
I don’t think some people appreciate skill when they see it,but I do Your a very talented and knowledgeable person I don’t think I could do half the things you do in your videos I enjoy your videos,they are relaxing for some reason
I am “open-jaw” stunned with how good this channel is! Very impressive at the very least! Thanks! I have two old radios and a wire recorder that has been waiting years in my house. I now have the desire to get it done!
The cause is the casting was poisoned with tin and/or lead causing internal corrosion usually because the foundry handled both sometimes in the same "pot".
@@glasslinger The effects didn't start to surface until 15-20+ years down the road, very slow process makes it hard to troubleshoot. It wasn't until the 50's that it was figured out, WWII material shortages, they were casting lead, tin and zinc whatever was available in the same equipment and those castings rapidly deteriorated, held together long enough to win the war at least. The damage was done diecast "pot metal" would be branded as terrible. With proper hygiene modern Zinc pressure castings are of great quality and last a long time.
Nice radio. It should go somewhere prominent on display instead of in the attic. Problem with dying with a bunch of toys is that the heir may not have the appreciation and just toss all that "OLD JUNK" in the trash. Seen it a lot.
Just imagine how many people have had their hands on that in seeing what was involved to try to fix it and could not be bothered I'm surprised it wasn't dismantled as a parts unit a long time ago great work enjoy your watching your videos keep up the good work
I am very entertained by your videos. They take me so far back in time. Back to the 1930’s, although I was born in 1970. Just turned 50 on my birthday 🎂 on June 5th. You’re a very interesting person, taking the time on all these radios 📻 and radio restorations. I’m a geek 🤓 for all old radios like these. I liked the little Westinghouse refrigerator radio and the really nice 👍 wooden armchair radio. Nothing could fit the house 🏡 any better. Really hate all these junky Chinese radios of today. There are a great 👍 many radios of yours I like, as well. I found it very interesting when you were trying to build a homemade battery pack. To no avail, it seemed, until ya found one very thin wire was wired to a wrong terminal. I understand the frustration, though. I’ve been there with those kinds of things. Think 🤔 ya re routed the wire, making your hard earnings come to life. Keep these really great videos coming. They’re so good 😊 that I’ll probably be watching them until I die.
Quite amazing to restore hundred year old radio requiring more mechanical work than radio engineering which has been done so professionally. I wonder how this man is having milling and leth machine and working on it to make required gears and. the job of repairing gang is challenging one which is also made to perfection, hat's off to this man.
Ron, this was a very interesting repair! If you ever want to try to make your own castings for small parts, Micro-Mark has some very low melting temperature alloys. If memory serves, we're talking about ~160°F to melt _or_ something that will melt with a propane torch. They've also got the molding materials too. (I don't get anything from them for this "ad," but am just a happy customer.)
This is a common problem with these. Pot metal degradation has a few of these sitting in my workshop while being ignored for a few years. This is a fantastic video of the process. You have a lot of patience, Ron. I'm more of a curse and grunt person. I wish I had the machining abilities you possess. You're amazing! I'm fine with the electronics and cabinet restoration, but this is way above my abilities! I'm in awe!
best repair videos in town...i really enjoy the off the wall glass design work videos and the metal-glass physics of the how to stuff. ps. ron, do you make telescopes, that would make some interesting videos? thanks.
ah... the old pot metal cancer...older akai R2R have the same problem with their control knobs ... pot metal cams disintegrate...you truly are a jack of all trades
Wowm great job. I was realy wondering how you'd fix that clip. Was expecting some JB weld, but no on that place. the machined part was simply genious ! thanks for sharing !
I always jump my sons case for wasting so much time on the internet watching dumb videos as he's always in the rabbit hole. All I can say now is.... I can't jump his case anymore. I find myself watching one after the next... Uhhhgggg. Thanks Ron. I love blowing my weekend watching one after the next.
On a serious note though Ron I love the part you machined for the dial. It's a far better solution than the original design and will last for years to come, unlike the original pot metal fittings. Regarding pot metal castings, I'm not sure whether this would have been useful in this particular instance but I've found encapsulating pot metal parts in resin works quite well. It has the effect of both filling the cracks and stabilising the part against failure. Ideally the viscosity of the uncured resin needs to be low enough so that it flows properly into all of the little crevices of the part but once it's set, you can then file/ream out the resin for where screws need to go etc.
Hey Ron, i have been watching your videos for a long time now, and just wanted to say good job. I do miss your vacuum videos btw! I also have a suggestion for some future videos, sense i just god started in the high vacuum world, i noticed that there are not many videos on YT about diffusion pumps in detail. I live in a country where it's impossible to obtain a used diffusion pump or any high vac pump. I've noticed that you have a lathe, so maybe you could make a video on making a DIY small diffusion pump?
Been there done that. Not worth the effort. You can get somewhat better vacuum than a mechanical pump with a homemade diffusion pump but not what you need and not worth how difficult it is to make a good one. Best to work at saving your money and ordering one from the USA or E.U. They are cheap on ebay but the shipping will be expensive.
I'm always amazed how someone came up with controling electricity with mechanical parts. I remember having an old tube radio given to me by grandfather. It was playing away one day in my old tool shed when smoke started to accompany the music, that was the end of that. You were lucky to drill small hole in the nylon bush anywhere near centre as tool post appeared to be fowlling the drill chuck, anyway all went well.
Look into a microwave receiver or transmitter, where open or closed spaces of various sizes and bends as wave-guides create electrical components such as resistors and capacitors - then it really appears to be magic ... begin to realize I only have a mediocre understanding !! LOL
Nice repair, did you manage to find a way to not need the grub screw to retain the nylon insert? I missed the part where you machined that... It's nice having lathe and milling machine to just knock out a replacement part like that. Cheers,
It appeared to me that ultimately the delrin bushing was a "press fit" into the aluminum shaft housing assembly. Either that or we both missed the set screw part...

Another great video. May I ask, please, if you’re willing to share the schematic for your bench battery-eliminator ?
Ron, you are the Audie Murphy of radio restoration. When you want to take that hill, you take it, letting nothing stop you!
Can we please have a tour of your radio collection
आप कहा काम कर रहे है
Love all your projects, Ron! Happy to see more of them now we are all in lockdown. I'll be starting to work on my own Electronic Breaker very soon. Keep up the great work!

What range of skills! Using a lathe to fix the radio - none of that 3D printer mucking about!
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?

In the close-up shots of the tuning condenser vanes adjustments, I couldn't take my eyes away from the cracks in the metal and thought to myself, "Oh that's going to be a problem later." Turns out it was sooner than later :)
Thanks for all the rapid fire videos lately Ron!
I can watch you all day , you’re simply genius when come to real electronics , thanks for shearing your gift with us !
Very good camera management. It increases the focus on the job. Thus makes this video very compelling. Thx!
LOVE WATCHING YOU VERY MUCH IM 78

Your patience with a problem like this is just amazing. Most probably I would've given up with this tuning cap.
Bravo! Excellent save with the epoxy and wood sticks!!
You did a phenomenal job on the machined part which replaced the failed pot metal fitting. Love watching your videos - thanks for sharing.
Where do you find these wonderful radio receivers?
Greetings from Italy

Awesome Masterwork.
Please stay safe, much love. ❤️
I love watching your channel, as a novice radio restorer it's just blows my mind what you can do. Thank you.
Engineering the tuning gear support and resolving the tuning capacitor was the best.
thanks nice machining job on that condenser tuning assembly.
Very nice repair. You sure put your amazing skills to good use.
Nice radio. Execllent work on the condenser. Seems like you can make anything! Thank you!

I cannot help wondering how many radios you have left in that attic of your. Thanks for sharing stay safe regards Chris
must be stacked to the rafters
I don’t think some people appreciate skill when they see it,but I do
Your a very talented and knowledgeable person
I don’t think I could do half the things you do in your videos

Brilliant Ron I Love Your Work
Bless Up Earthling
Who would of thought you needed a lathe to fix this baby? But there you go Ron worked his magic again!👍🏻📻🎼
Wow! You fix radios that most other people would not even try. Thanks. CAL
Every time I see tuning condenser repairs I thank the person that invented varicap tuning :)
The cause is the casting was poisoned with tin and/or lead causing internal corrosion usually because the foundry handled both sometimes in the same "pot".
Well, that's the whole point of pot metal, isn't it?
"What metal is this?".... "whatever old scrap is in the pot!"
This makes sense because you can find some of the radios that have no swelling at all of the metal. They got made with a good batch!
@@glasslinger The effects didn't start to surface until 15-20+ years down the road, very slow process makes it hard to troubleshoot.

@@edgeeffect And that's why they fell apart... but not until it was out of warranty.

G'day Ron. Your an man of many talents.
Thats one of the better radioes i have ever seen... Good work as always. Show us your collection plees
great job Ron! Excellent reparation in the tandem capacitor!
That's just such an odd radio... so unlike the ones I think of from the 30s-40s. Nice solution on the broken tuner knob.
Thank you for sharing your craft..
Great combination of machining and electronics. Thumbs up!
Why would the pot metal in the tuning cap swell? Really nice job by you, Ron!
look up zinc pest on wikipedia. They fixed it by the 60s
Awesome video. I enjoy your channel a lot. I'm just getting started with old radio repair. I just completed a restoration of a Hallicrafters S-38B.
C'est toujours un plaisir de voir ton travail sur RUclips, merci beaucoup. =)

You did a great job on the gear housing it lined up perfect!
Great to see you work on this lovely old radio. I reminds me of a biscuit tin radio.
ah... the old pot metal cancer...older akai R2R have the same problem with their control knobs ... pot metal cams disintegrate...you truly are a jack of all trades
Enjoyable video, Ron, thanks. I liked your design of the gear mount.
Another great video. At 23:28 you managed to trigger google on my phone to adjust the volume lol. I watched that bit 3 times and it did each time.😂
Tremendous work. Well done.
Wowm great job. I was realy wondering how you'd fix that clip. Was expecting some JB weld, but no on that place. the machined part was simply genious ! thanks for sharing !
Ron you are a great man, love watching all your vids much respect .
It would be crazy if the dude who originally designed this radio was alive to watch this guy fix it.
Thanks for your videos Mr. Glasslinger
I always jump my sons case for wasting so much time on the internet watching dumb videos as he's always in the rabbit hole. All I can say now is.... I can't jump his case anymore. I find myself watching one after the next... Uhhhgggg. Thanks Ron. I love blowing my weekend watching one after the next.
could baking the air capacitor help?
doesnt it get hot in use with no air ventilation
On a serious note though Ron I love the part you machined for the dial. It's a far better solution than the original design and will last for years to come, unlike the original pot metal fittings.

I am using a cheap 1947 aa5 as a practical radio in the sched, works great
Great work ..So radio in a box ..25lb power supply extra ?
Ron, thanks for another great video! Please keep the videos coming.
My Question is Ventilation for the Tubes,, How Hot does it get if I run it all Day..?
Bandbox junior! I thought it was gonna be a guitar amp! D'oh! But no, hey Ron excellent video! And that tuning gear mod - absolutely superb - Wow!
Amazing video. Thank you for sharing!
Hey Ron, i have been watching your videos for a long time now, and just wanted to say good job. I do miss your vacuum videos btw! I also have a suggestion for some future videos, sense i just god started in the high vacuum world, i noticed that there are not many videos on YT about diffusion pumps in detail. I live in a country where it's impossible to obtain a used diffusion pump or any high vac pump.

Beautiful Radio ❤❤❤❤
No foolin' around. Just gettin' 'er done!
I'm always amazed how someone came up with controling electricity with mechanical parts. I remember having an old tube radio given to me by grandfather. It was playing away one day in my old tool shed when smoke started to accompany the music, that was the end of that. You were lucky to drill small hole in the nylon bush anywhere near centre as tool post appeared to be fowlling the drill chuck, anyway all went well.
Look into a microwave receiver or transmitter, where open or closed spaces of various sizes and bends as wave-guides create electrical components such as resistors and capacitors - then it really appears to be magic ... begin to realize I only have a mediocre understanding !! LOL
Nice repair, did you manage to find a way to not need the grub screw to retain the nylon insert? I missed the part where you machined that...
It's nice having lathe and milling machine to just knock out a replacement part like that.
Cheers,
It appeared to me that ultimately the delrin bushing was a "press fit" into the aluminum shaft housing assembly. Either that or we both missed the set screw part...
According to Riders, this set used '199 tubes, not '01's. But I guess if you have the right power supply, they are interchangable.
I didn't notice. The set had 01's in it when I got it so I assumed that was what it used.
@@glasslinger Makes sense, those '199's are as rare as hen's teeth today, and twice as expensive!
Mini channel locks are awesome you don't know how much you need them
Superb work!
just the best work i seen
