What a great radio! I assume you know, but just in case you don’t virtually every old time radio show is available on RUclips. So much fun to listen to not just the music but the shows. Radio is magic. I remember as a kid in the 60s, we have these little plastic“space ships“ radios that you clipped onto the window. A few years ago I made a piece of art that was also a crystal radio with a copper antenna. Gosh that was fun. Donated it for a fundraiser and regret it! 😂
Oh my goodness, wow! This really took me back to the 1970's when my dad, who collected and restored old radios, sat me down and explained all the different parts of the radio and what they were for! He even used the same screwdriver with the wooden handle, which I still have!! I have mentioned this to you before, but you remind me of my dad in so many ways... It's uncanny! Anyhoo, I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial and thank you for sharing!
KP.. YES! I sat next to my father in the garage watching him take things apart and explain to me, a little kid. I remember not being real interested. BUT.. years later I found myself remembering how things work. My husband would also explain to me. God bless men who take their knowledge and share with their little kids. Absolute hero’s.
I'm amazed KP. Your post remembrance is identical to mine with the only exception of the decade. I watched/learned from my Dad but in the 1960's. Identical past all the way down to the wooden handle screwdriver which I have 😊😊
Looks in good shape, people took good care, of their property then, you didn't replace things every year, you had them forever😊, my mother had a smaller model above her wringer washing machine in the kitchen, when she painted the kitchen every few years she painted the radio to match😂, she listen to soap operas in the afternoon😊 thanks for the memories Scott❤
Somehow looking at the insides of the old radio & not understanding a thing you were talking about still made me smile because you were enjoying it so much…especially when you sang a few notes 🎶 at the end 🥰! Interested to learn more 🕵🏻.
What a Radio, Scott. Absolutely beautiful. Such character. The Genuine model. Can't wait to see what you do to that. The inside Mechanics are astonishing. What an addition it will be to your Bungalow's interiors. How could you have turned down such a purchase. Thank you for sharing it all with us. Just great 👏👍😉
I listened to Gun Smoke, The Shadow, detectives and mysteries and Santa at Christmas! The 50s had great shows! I could imagine what the characters looked like. Thanks to the marvelous sound effects I could "see" the action! Great fun! My sitting still for an hour entranced I am sure prolonged my mothers life! Lol
That was fascinating. Thank you for this video. Please keep posting future installments! I'm really looking forward to enjoying and learning much from the Chronicles of the Philco Radio! [I envy you that you can pick up a nice old radio like this without much difficulty - they don't seem to exist in my part of the world, alas.] P.S. Will you be recapping?
Love this video though you did make me nervous when you were tapping on those glass tubes with that screwdriver! All kidding aside, know this will be restored beautifully by you!
Hi Scott thought you were making a time machine from Back to the Future !especially when you mentioned Superhetradine and capacitor all in one sentence. Only joking its a beutiful radio x
Nice, thank you for showing us the "guts". Maybe when you get into the case you'll discover it too is in good shape. We listen to the radio all day, but only our NPR station. One in the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen. Not to mention the phone, lol. To be honest, I don't know why radios only get AM stations? I know AM was first, but the "whys" of not receiving FM on the same radio is beyond my understanding.
My husband thinks that the switch for sound might have something to do with those old earphones they use to use!. In the top left there looks like there is a plug in site! I hope you make a video of rehabbing this old radio! Do you have replacement tubes? I remember the smell of the hot tubes in our old radios! Odd what we retain!
Beautiful old radio. Can’t wait to see it once you have it finished. Hope you’ll let us hear it. Regardless what station you find. By the way, love your watch! Who made it? Curved crystal?
Amazing how much the technology changed after the Roswell Crash. We’d still be using vacuum tubes if that craft never crashed. No silicon chips, no internet, no computers. Crazy.
That is so cool! 1932 is the year my still living, 90 yr. old father was born!
How awesome that you know how to fix radios etc. Exciting 😊

Fascinating, please keep us posted on the progress of restoring this little beauty.

Great radio...looks like a fun project. I noticed your watch....my Dad had a similar looking one which I hope to have fixed so that I can wear it. ❤️
Nice radio!!

A beautiful specimen of a radio. Wish I knew how to repair them
I’m thinking of you and your family today and this weekend. 🐑⛪️💜

Where was the cat? 🌸
Looks great. From looking online could the switch on the left be for ac/DC? Online it says you can use both.

Cute radio
I used to listen to when radio was.
scott how do you source replacement vacuum tubes? Do you have to find them at flea markets or are the reproduced now?
WOW
Mismatched tubez 😢
My father taught how and repaired radios in the Air Force during the Korean War.
😊
the only thing it was missing was the flux capacitor...incase you wanna come back to 2023. lmao
WOW
