1. LA is not a city. It is a Sprawl. 2. Leave a property vacant for 10 minutes and the squatters move in. Ur Not allowed to get rid of them. Especially in LA. 3. I would never leave a vintage tube electronic device unattended. Regardless. If you want noise, use a Chinesium IC thing works just as well. Put it on a time. More power efficient anyway. 4. If U got a rod knock, U got a REALLY big problem. Or a REALLY hot babe.
29:06 Used this part of the video to converse with a telemarketer that just called me. Telemarketer: “Hello, I am calling from Senior Bennefits. How are you doing today?” Shango: “This hum is like umm…” Telemarketer: “Yes, that does sound weird.” Shango: “Is the volume not being shielded?” Telemarketer: “Uh, I am not sure” Shango: “Well the sensitivity is there. It just seems not very loud.” Telemarketer: “What are you talking about, sir?” Shango: “It may need an IF allingnment.” beep beep beep (End of call) 😆
If your friend decides not to rent out the place, he should get a utility in his name and have it mailed to that address with his name on it. That way, if some squatter comes around, he can claim residency.
100k warranty. They make it the warranty! In my experience being a former kia dealer tech the problem is the people who buy those cars because they are about the cheapest car you can get. This means the average kia owner has no money and does virtually no maintenance
Clip one lead of all the paper capacitors and disconnect the b+ filter section going to the IF and converter and replace the grid coupling on the audio output and put in a red light and listen to all the screeching ghosts. I guarantee nobody will go in that room. Put a timer on it to turn on about every 15 minutes as it warms up it wakes up the posession and comes to life with all sorts of varying screeching untill it get fully warmed up 🤣. I'm serious I wouldn't fix it as a radio 😁 it is scary looking and like from graveyard condition 😄
Shall we call you Shango Newbomb? There are guys on RUclips who make their own FM, AM, SSB radios but....I've never seen anyone who has made their own working CRT television. There is one guy on RUclips who made his own transistors and IC at home, it took 10 years AND much donated equipment from Intel
Shango, No matter what speed you at you always sound good & you rock with your videos. Next time you go to Arizona scan Shortwave there & see if you can pick up 5050 & 9455 kHz WRMI Legends from Lake Okeechobee, Florida as they play great music & also do requests. Happy Memorial Day weekend! -73's
I just discovered that station, but unfortunately my reception is usually noisy. Maybe my radio needs to be aligned, or maybe I shouldn't run my antenna wire directly over the power line.
I've watched your videos for years but finally something I can comment on, as a mechanic who frequently changes those Hyundai GDi motors for my company DO NOT change that motor, junk the car and get something older. The Theta II (and similar) series of engines used in those Hyundai (and Kias) are very prone to lower end bearing knock due to the bearings being too thin and the dealer oil change intervals being too long on such a thin weight of oil so it just mulches the bearings. Just junk it and move on, EVERY single used engine I've ever put in fails again in a year and even the NEW short blocks we've gotten from Hyundai (if you can even get one) cost $6k+ and all display symptoms of the same issue a few years later. Go get a 1994-2009 Toyota product and never look back
From never having torn one apart but watching teard-owns and reading about the subject here is my understanding: The knock isn't necessarily the rod bearings. It seems the design was to use very short skirt pistons and low tension rings with some pretty skimpy connecting rods. The knock is purportedly the pistons rocking in the bores. It seems like this fatigues the small end of the rod which breaks an is sent through the block.
Shango you don't talk slowly you consider what you are going to say which is more than the hypo gen Z who regurgitate inaccurate BS.... Best from UK. .
Great Saturday morning with Shango love the comparison of the radios and taking the time to go out in the wilderness to demonstrate how well they function. Many thanks Mike
I was an auto tech for about 44years . I was around when computer controls like lean burn were coming in . There was an 80's Buick with a 3.8 . They would get valve train noise . It would trigger knock sensor . It read it as spark knock . It begins to back off timing to the point you could tell it. Customer has no money , like always. The bandaid was , move the knock sensor to the firewall . No more knock issue . LOL
Nice one Dan, keep it up mate 👍. I was truly impressed with the video on the Crossley set...Good scary looking radio, was once a prized posession of someone's.
We definitely need a rough old set (B&W) for the debates. That one looks ok, but not as rough as that moldy rotten wooden one you resurrected like a year ago, that one would be perfect to freshen up for the debates if you still have it. Edit: the Philco 48
Just imagine driving out in the arizona desert and coming across some crazy guy with blue surgercal gloves on, twiddling with knobs on old radio's like he's trying to summon aliens, very strange!!
It was something few only noticed when tube era radios were spared with "modern & transistor" ones. I noticed it in 70ties because my tube radio was still perfect when I decided to give a check newer technology. I did not like to abandon tubes Now I have two transistor SW radios with SSB - both in excellent condition from 80 ties and two tube radios - one SW HAM with SSB 1959 (9 tubes) and one without SSB 1939 ( 4 tubes). And I listen only to those tube ones which are little different in sensitivity have lovely sounding (1939) . and are more friendly to use.
At least the Self E.O.L. Vehicle doesn't blow itself apart with explosives when the time comes. Does the can of the Volume Control Potentiometer on that tatty Crosley Radio want grounding Shango? I guess it's more spooky with background buzz though.
@3:00 - watching on a PC - If you click and hold the mouse button on the video, it will speed up to 2x while you're holding the button. It amazes me how many videos are completely watchable at 2x. Now, if you try something like that with that EEVBlog guy, it sounds like listening to the chipmunks at double speed. Your videos are completely watchable at 2x. I read at 2x speed too. Always have.
Love your sense of humour - I'm lucky if I understand about a third of the technical talk but I find your videos fascinating, relaxing and a good laugh. Looking inside old TV's reminds be of being about 7 when my 10 year old friend promised me that if we could bust open the transformer we would probably find it full of BALL BEARINGS - and ball bearings were like gold to us kids so we wasted all Saturday afternoon hammering and chiselling and everything except undoing the nuts underneath I guess - and we were so disappointed there wasn't a single ball bearing, just stacks of "letter E's" as we called them after wrecking a few more old TV's, radios and so on. I had my doubts all along as I was slowly learning that just because someone's older doesn;t mean they know what they're talking about - after all, he was the one who promised me we could play using sharpened lengths of angle iron (old fence posts) and if I sat in this old car seat while he threw it at the back of the seat, the seat would stop it - call me cynical but I was worried the seat wouldn;t stop it so I asked him to test it first and of course the "spear" sailed right through it and he couldn;t apologise enough after promising me I was being over cautious - cause we all know how solid car seats are lol. I think I was more worried he might miss and get me in the head. Oh the joys of playing on rubbish tips in the 60's.
6AL5's are a dime a dozen, 6H6's not so much. So, an adapter makes sense (cents?). Most 6.3v tubes were NOT made with a controlled warm up time for their heaters. Tubes with 12.6 volt heaters (and above) usually were. Also some of the tubes with 450ma or 600ma heaters were made in versions that were (usually with a A or B suffix in the type number) These tubes were intended for series heater strings in radios and TV sets. In very early transformerless sets there was a large enough ballast resister in series with the heaters to limit the inrush current, so not having controlled heater warmup time tubes wasn't as big an issue. This set seems to fall in the middle, it has enough tubes that the heater ballast resistor probably isn't large enough to absorb enough of the inrush current, and some of the tubes won't last as long as they should. Aligning an AM radio to the wrong IF frequency will make no difference in the sensitivity of the set (assuming the IF will peak at the wrong frequency). It might make a difference in the bandwidth of the IF, and WILL make a difference in the dial calibration and tracking accuracy.
I would love to see Shango take one of the three models of the GE portable Superadios made back in the late 1980's and early 1990's, out to test in the desert, sensitivity wise those AM-FM radios are extremely good. Probably out performs almost all other radios.
I got the rod knock ECU update on my Hyundai. 2 days later, the car entered limp mode 100 miles from the nearest tow truck. Decided to limp along. Made it 10 miles before the engine grenaded itself.
I saw the video he mentions in two or three parts. Usually, I'll watch while I eat lunch, then go do stuff around the house, mow the lawn. Come back to it in the evening. I can't watch on 1.5x speed or anything. I might miss a kwerko trinkulation.
22:00 Crosley doesn't make crappy junk combo players and phonos. They haven't made anything in many decades. "Crosley" doesn't exist anymore. It's a holding company in NYC which licenses out the name to Dong's phonographs and electronics somewhere in China.
My landlord in the UK have decided to leave the market for the same reason, it has become too restrictive for property owners to risk renting. So pro tenant legislation is causing rent price hiking and reduction of available rentals. What a wonderful world.
first off every wax cap needs replaced. with it powered on check for dc on the wax caps, there should not be any dc volts on them. if there is- the cap is bad and turning into a resister and letting dc volts to pass though them. should be ac volts only.
Can having multiple radios, next to each other, tuned to the same station, improve their performance due to IF crosstalk/injection or do you have to run a wire from one close to another for that to happen? Or am I just making this up?
As a landlord, I also have a trick to keep people away from my houses, I put a mannequin with a gun in its hand in it 😁 (as a modern type of scarecrow)
I work at a guitar shop doing repairs. I test all capacitors before I replace them. Unless I’m working on something from the 60s or older…..almost all caps test good. Wholesale cap replacement is ridiculous
I agree. Unloading the parts cannon is not troubleshooting. I will say though that these paper caps are a liability at this point and most definitely should be changed if for no other reason than to prevent a fire.
Love your videos Dan at normal speed. Tried at faster speeds & it reminds me of Joe Pesci or some 1980s TV cop show & rather watch the video in stages over a few days & so many small details happen that there so much better at 1x speed, so please don't speed up your natural voice as you sound cool af like Ronnie from "Joes Classic Video Games", plus it makes me think I'm on Santa Monica beach chilling out & kicking back instead of stressing at work. After a long day at work, I find your chill "California drawl" voice very pleasing to listen to & learn so much from your approach. Please don't change Shango, or dare I say it become like Newsom. Always be brand "you"!
Haha, the sad reality is squatters generally still have their functions and a misplaced sense of drive. They are not your usual homeless, they are generally car campers that are one rung above the drunk and fried out street walker.
Get a bottle of the old fashioned STP motor honey made for engines that had worn out main and or rod bearings to fill the gap. Either that or go to some heavy viscosity oil which will do the same thing reducing rod knock. I wonder if one would have to clear the error code to get the ECU out of limp mode. Give it a try if you have this problem. You've got nothing to lose.
Based on the dashboard that car is not older than 8-15 years, I wonder how old it really is with how many miles in it, and how much work and money would take to rebuild or replace the engine in it. I also wonder if the higher viscosity oil while maybe temporarily solving the bearing issues would completely ruin the engine what otherwise could have been rebuilt. These are genuine questions as I have no idea about cars and engines. I never had a car or even a motorbike, even my lawnmower and chainsaw are electric 😂 . The public transportation where I live is quite good, I work close to my home, I'm fine with riding the bus or my bicycle. I have a license, I might get a car at some point for occasional use (once per week or two weeks for shopping), but for the daily ride to work I'll stick to the bus, because I can only afford a 15-30 yo car, and daily driving that to work would result in too frequent and too expensive repairs.
”14 cylinder radios” This made my day!!!
heavy duty!
1. LA is not a city. It is a Sprawl.

'Presents as elderly' is going on my profile.
I had to read that a couple of times - I thought it said "president is elderly"!!
Can I presents as a 18 year old instead
What’s worse than a girl guide in your bed.

If your friend decides not to rent out the place, he should get a utility in his name and have it mailed to that address with his name on it. That way, if some squatter comes around, he can claim residency.
Music instructors teach "every good boy deserves fudge", but electronic instructors teach that "every good technician deserves a GREENIE". 47:10
Moody Blues teaches Every Good Boy Deserves Favour. I will (and have) go with them.
Your voice sounds sarcastic all the time. Love it. Unfortunately that sarcasm effect goes away by playing it at X2.
I would like to add. That old radio look like a old rusty beat up Cylone from the 1977 SYFI show Battelstar Glacticka.
Don't You Have any Sony Trinitron To Fixx..Man..I like The 2.5 hr long video You made way back when..
Those old tube radios have perfect sound.
Nothing says Kia more than engine failure at 109k miles, come on guys. I’ve seen Mitsubishi and VW do better than that
100k warranty. They make it the warranty! In my experience being a former kia dealer tech the problem is the people who buy those cars because they are about the cheapest car you can get. This means the average kia owner has no money and does virtually no maintenance
Yes but, DO YOU DENOUNCE SQUATERS? Sir. Sir…Do you denounce them? Mr. Shango It’s a simple question. I yield my time.
Love the variety of electronics repair!
I haven’t had this much fun on Saturday mornings since
Mr Wizard!
That little radio cabinet looks like a robot’s face that has malfunctioned, maybe like the Zathura movie robot. 😂🤣

Very interesting. Hope you have a great memorial day weekend.
That hallicrafters is a really cool unit. I’m not even particularly a “tv” guy but even I can appreciate what that is
I would name it the Darth Vader radio... sort of looks like his mask

X-2 just like playing a 33- 1/3 RPM. record at 45 RPM. speed, and you have shango066 the Chipmunk. LOL
It's cool to think that the Crosley building where they manufactured their products was designed to look like a radio , somewhere in Ohio I think .
I wonder how well that zenith would work in a cave
Really impressive variety of content on this video. Nice stuff ..
I would never been aware of that "make great pets" track that just happened to be playing, thanks for referencing it 😃
I always watch at either 1.75 or 2X speed. I'm only 5 mins in but cant wait for the rest of the video. Thanks Dan!
We definitely need a rough old set (B&W) for the debates. That one looks ok, but not as rough as that moldy rotten wooden one you resurrected like a year ago, that one would be perfect to freshen up for the debates if you still have it.

Btw I love the desert radio tests. Those cacti are tall!
I’m squatting in the comments. 😊
trippy bakelite futuristic cabinet
Electronic inspiration and music inspiration both happening this morning.

Shango announces "It's mis-aligned" while News Gringrich is talking. MYOJ. Hope owner has fire insurance.
6AL5's are a dime a dozen, 6H6's not so much. So, an adapter makes sense (cents?).
Most 6.3v tubes were NOT made with a controlled warm up time for their heaters. Tubes with 12.6 volt heaters (and above) usually were.

that Zenith kicking ass without remorse...oh boy.
35:47 Maybe someone will get a debugger up the ECU's ass and patch out that bit of code in the rom.
Assuming the ECU will even TOUCH a modified rom.
If you could locate, an RCA model floor Tv, about 1966 vintage...Would be real cool, Shango!
I saw the video he mentions in two or three parts.
Usually, I'll watch while I eat lunch, then go do stuff around the house, mow the lawn. Come back to it in the evening.
I can't watch on 1.5x speed or anything. I might miss a kwerko trinkulation.
About that old Crosley radio. As the Cylons ( Battlestar Galactica TV show) would say, "By your command."
Wow did that HUN DAY have bad bearing at only 100k miles???
Yikes, putting that light on the Crosley makes it look like HAL 9000's bitter grandfather. 🤣
HEY instead of making engines that just last, we engineered rod knock sensors instead!
the customer get fucked anyway
So much good music on the AM. Here its absolutely dead except for boring pirate music or talk shit no one cares about.
It's bad how Crosley is just a crappy name now. I cringe when I have to work on Crosley fridges at work. Trash it
22:00 Crosley doesn't make crappy junk combo players and phonos. They haven't made anything in many decades. "Crosley" doesn't exist anymore. It's a holding company in NYC which licenses out the name to Dong's phonographs and electronics somewhere in China.
It's pronounced "HUN-DAY." Ignore all the extra letters.
I have an urge to rig an old radio with haunted effects. Tunes its self and plays creepy clips. 🤔
My landlord in the UK have decided to leave the market for the same reason, it has become too restrictive for property owners to risk renting. So pro tenant legislation is causing rent price hiking and reduction of available rentals. What a wonderful world.
I dont present my elderly but I sure am tired like one

Commit suicide.

Hard to believe the hillary debates were 8 years ago. Looking forward to it. Can we watch it in color?
Since the squatter is already squatting, he (she?) will shit when they spot the scary Crosley.
Can having multiple radios, next to each other, tuned to the same station, improve their performance due to IF crosstalk/injection or do you have to run a wire from one close to another for that to happen? Or am I just making this up?
I would definitely search for meteorites over there.

I have a Toshiba like yours. All original parts and its a white hot barn burner!
Yeah we got people in government that predate radio and a good part of the country didn't even have electric yet.

Hyundai cars, at least in Europe, are super reliable!
disconnect the knock sensor, and away you go...
Replaced knock sensors that failed lol.
Put that thing 'in' the microwave with the door off ot open.
That Bakelite radio looks, *baked!*
It feels so weird hearing Porno for Pyros on a 40s radio. 😳

Cool bakelit radio but in sadley condition
Love your videos Dan at normal speed.
Tried at faster speeds & it reminds me of Joe Pesci or some 1980s TV cop show & rather watch the video in stages over a few days & so many small details happen that there so much better at 1x speed, so please don't speed up your natural voice as you sound cool af like Ronnie from "Joes Classic Video Games", plus it makes me think I'm on Santa Monica beach chilling out & kicking back instead of stressing at work.
After a long day at work, I find your chill "California drawl" voice very pleasing to listen to & learn so much from your approach.
Please don't change Shango, or dare I say it become like Newsom. Always be brand "you"!
How is this radio creepy? Especially to someone who was just eating out of a dumpster and relieving themselves on the sidewalk?
Haha, the sad reality is squatters generally still have their functions and a misplaced sense of drive. They are not your usual homeless, they are generally car campers that are one rung above the drunk and fried out street walker.
Kia hundyi very interesting time for a new engine 😮.

Based on the dashboard that car is not older than 8-15 years, I wonder how old it really is with how many miles in it, and how much work and money would take to rebuild or replace the engine in it. I also wonder if the higher viscosity oil while maybe temporarily solving the bearing issues would completely ruin the engine what otherwise could have been rebuilt. These are genuine questions as I have no idea about cars and engines. I never had a car or even a motorbike, even my lawnmower and chainsaw are electric 😂 .
The public transportation where I live is quite good, I work close to my home, I'm fine with riding the bus or my bicycle. I have a license, I might get a car at some point for occasional use (once per week or two weeks for shopping), but for the daily ride to work I'll stick to the bus, because I can only afford a 15-30 yo car, and daily driving that to work would result in too frequent and too expensive repairs.
needs more comments here. So hows everyone? ❤
