Looking at the newer radios, they use smaller ones...... Wow If you have old color TV's laying around the color delay line uses that wire. The long ceramic bar mounted on the board. Nice work, take care.
Hi Jim, There is an abundant supply of these older rigs at hamfests. Many of these are in need of some TLC. If you don't feel comfortable working on them, you might want to buy a used rig from a local ham that can demonstrate the unit for you. A lot of " works great" radios at hamfests seem to develop problems on the trip home.

Yes great stuff and so small Thanks for sharing It gives me an idea that things can be fixed with time and patience.
This is so cool. You are the man. Acetone does cut the varnish when heated. Just a thought.
Rewiring that tiny transformer is impressive - kudos! Thank you for sharing.

Great video. I want to try and fix an old rig like this. You gave me the inspiration to try myself.
I see many of these at hamfests, but do not want to take a chance that they may have problems.
