Just discovered your channel Mike,really enjoy watching you repair and breathe new life into these classic old radios. And my deepest sympathies on the passing of your wife. God bless her and you🙏
Okay...the TIP of the DAY is now in session.... To keep pets off of furniture simply use one of those roll up mat carpet protectors one uses at the office. When turning upside down those little prickly points(cleats) just annoy pets to no end while doing no real harm to them. Simple, quick and cheap. My sister-n-law who's a vet assistant demonstrated the idea and really works well. You're welcome. Great to see you again Michael. Best regards.
Thank you very much! It really is humbling, all the kindness that folks have shown. I'll work hard to be worthy of it. I look forward to uploading some cool projects that are coming up and keeping in touch with my RUclips friends. Cheers! Michael
Sorry to hear about your wife, mine passed in July 2017 so I empathize with. We also expected me to go first especially since I was 19 years her senior. Looking forward to your new videos, hang in there
I'm sorry for your loss, may God bless you and bring healing to your heart and to the others in your family. Healing will take awhile. Be grateful for what you had. I have enjoyed your videos. God bless.
Mike, Thank you so much for your kind words. You are right - it takes a while, but healing does come. I was blessed with a wonderful marriage, and I will always be grateful. I'm really glad that you enjoy my vids. I intend to get fully back in the saddle over the next few weeks. Take care! Michael
@@thattubesound2214 I wish I had some sound godly advise for you, the only thing that comes to mind is a story of King David, who's first son with Bathsheba had died. He prayed and mourned for the child and after the child had died he rose washed his face and continued with his duties. When asked by his country men why he had stopped mourning for the child after the child had died, he said: "I can not bring him back to me but one day I shall go to him." So there is a great hope for those in Christ of seeing our loved ones again. May God grant you peace.
Thank you for putting so much detail into re-working the tuning eye drive @25-28 mins, the schematics call the big red one 22M, which doesn't help. Also for me I tin stranded lead wire beofre soldering down to minimize the fraying. I knew to be suspicious when I saw other values like 100M, 330M when I could see their color-code were 'K sized.
Welcome back, Michael!! You have no idea how much you were missed and just how many people care about you, enjoy your videos, look forward to them, and learn a great deal through your efforts. Change is always difficult to accept and it sounds like you've had more than your share of it all in a relatively short period of time. To see you back and doing OK made my day!
Thank you so much for your kindness, Gavin! I really missed putting videos up and I'm glad to be getting back in the swing of things. They might be a little rough at first, but I'll do my level best to make them worth your time. I have some really cool projects coming up, and I hope that you like them. Take care, my friend. Michael
It will be easy getting Burt to show up on camera. Ernie is a different story. He's more shy, but he torments Burt ceaselessly, so I should be able to get some good stuff! I'm thrilled to be back and I hope that I can keep folks interested. Thank you so much for your kindness! Take care. Michael
Thank you so much, Dave! It's awesome to be back. It was a long road, but things are looking up again. I am so grateful for the kind support of awesome folks, like yourself! Take care, my friend! Michael
Thank you so much, Eric. I am happy to report that everything is looking up and I plan to put lots more vids up. They will get better in quality as I get back in the saddle. Cheers! Michael
Funny, I've used that same camera. Sony Handycam CX440 and the Ikea Jansjo Spotlights on my videos! Great minds think alike. I love the compactness and relatively good quality of the Sony's image. Not suitable for 4K, but perfect for how-tos.
Michael, Though we have never met, I feel I know you. I was worried about you and thought about you often. It is a relief to see you are okay and a going concern. Ian
Ian, Thank you so much for your thoughts and words. I really enjoy making vids and opening myself up a little bit in them. I forget about the cameras for the most part and I just "chat with my friends". During some of the tough times last year, returning to the bench and RUclips were goals that kept me pushing on. Take care, my friend. Michael
John, It's so good to hear from you, my friend! I sure do miss ole' Fred. My son still has Marty. I'll be showing plenty of Burt & Ernie, going forward. As always, I'm glad you're watching and I look forward to your future comments. Thank you for your support! Cheers! Michael
Michael welcome back! You have been greatly missed, and please accept my deepest sympathy for your losses, as well as everything you have gone through. You are the first U-Tube radio restoration person I ever watched and are the sole reason I got into this awesome hobby. I learned so much from you and gained confidence enough to start working on radios myself and now also have my own channel. I am so happy you are back, and now look forward to continuing to glean knowledge from you.
Funny thing is, if I sleep on the floor, the silly beasts will still crawl up on me or take up my pillow! Thank you for your kind words. One foot in front of the other...... Cheers! Michael
Thank you so much, Dwayne! I've been missing my RUclips friends. It's been a bit of a rough road, but I think that I'm back on the blacktop now. I'll do my level best to put up good stuff. Take care, my friend! Michael
Welcome back. I have been waiting for the continuation of the Shutter Dial Tube Radio for a long time and it is great to see you back in the saddle. Best wishes for you and your series.
Thank you so much! Shutter Dials are among my favorite radios. I am glad that you are watching! I was going through a tough time when I recorded the work, but I'll do my best to edit things so that it makes some sense. Take care, my friend. Michael
Yeah, you are right about Justradios.com having the 8 MFD caps! Funny thing is, I mentioned them for the 2 MFD caps. I will make sure to give them a shout out in the next vid. Thank you for watching. I'm really glad that you're there! Cheers! Michael
Hey Michael, Glad to see you and to hear you're doing well. I sent you a letter a while back but didn't know you had moved so you may not have gotten it. Nice video :) Take care, Gary
Michael, I am sorry to hear of your losses, and of your health issues. I enjoy your videos and your cats. I have multiple 811Ks, 813Ks, and 816Ks. To date, I have restored four (2 811Ks and 2 813Ks). After your move, do you still have your 812K? I plan to convert a spare 811K chassis to a 812K. I have all of the necessary components from an 813K to complete the project. Looking forward to hearing from you. Fred
Michael, I recently discovered you on RUclips and have been watching your Zenith videos. GREAT STUFF! I'm a woodworker who was given a Pilot cathedral radio a couple years ago and after refinishing it, discovered there was a whole world out there of beautiful antique radios waiting to restored to there original beauty. Now I'm teaching myself the electronics part of it. This is purely a hobby and I have no interest in taking it further than just that. But, I need some mentoring. I live in the Salt Lake area and I believe you now live in Nephi, right? I would love to talk to you either via email or phone. Is that possible? thanks in advance, Ray....
Hello Michael, I am a recent subscriber, but I’ve watched some of your videos and loved them. I have a 1966 Grundig Stereo Console that I want you to take a look at. If you could help me out by taking a look at it and fixing it up, it would be greatly appreciated. The cabinet is fine, it is the chassis, speakers, and turntable I need to be repaired. Hope to hear back from you soon. blessings, David
What is the purpose of the little thimble looking thing on the bottom center of the screen at 17:28? Mines got two really fine wires on it and one of them is disconnected. Thanks.

rubbing their back feet they do have tingly paws.
Nice to see you back on the horse

Thank you, Tim! I'm excited to be getting back to the channel. Thank you for your kindness. Cheers! Michael
Yup, the cats want you to sleep on the floor. Great to see you back and moving forward positively.
Funny thing is, if I sleep on the floor, the silly beasts will still crawl up on me or take up my pillow! Thank you for your kind words. One foot in front of the other......

As always, Larry, thank you for your friendship and support. It feels awesome to be getting back in the saddle. Take care, my friend! Michael
The cats keep you warm at night!
Until they get tired of sharing the pillow! At that point, they start pushing me off it with those rabbit-like hind legs! Cheers! Michael
Welcome back Michael! Justradios.com has those specific values in stock like the 8mfd 450 volt electrolytic cap.
Yeah, you are right about Justradios.com having the 8 MFD caps! Funny thing is, I mentioned them for the 2 MFD caps. I will make sure to give them a shout out in the next vid. Thank you for watching. I'm really glad that you're there! Cheers! Michael
