This Video was made to help Vincent reinstall his NuTone Model 2055 / 2056 Vacuum Tube Radio intercom Master Station - I hve tried to cover some of the most basic informations, that the average owner will need to know. The world of "Tube Technology" is moving further and further away for most people, who never grew up with or know anythng about what a "Vacuum Tube" is. They never went down to the local hardware store, with their parent to buy a replacement Vacuum tube for their families TV or Radio. I'll be thinking about what other iformations should be presented, to help owners of this typr of early NuTone Equipment - Chris
Wish I could convince my dad to get our 3003 fixed. We live in peachtree city where almost all of the houses have lots of nutones of different variety’s of models, as I guess those were popular in the 90’s. As he says there’s no use for them anymore since you have smart phones but I think otherwise lol 😂
Hi locus-801: IM3003 are usually a fairly striaght forward modle to rebuild. It's not uncommon for some people to think that the Intercom System is outdate - It's common to have the use of the Intercom feature for communication to slowly become less and less over time ( as households grow up) - the Door Chiem is always an important feature for owners and while listening to the Radio is limited now-a-days, adding an external audio jack and connecting anothe rmusic source (I like echo dots) breathes new life into any system - Chris
yeah but he has blink door bell and the intercom makes the hum sound and when you talk into it it’s barely audible though you can hear the very disorienting voice ok but radio is bad and the fm signal moves back and forth I’m guessing something to do with capacitors? But I opened it up and the doorbell apparently my grandma says that 20 years ago they were sleeping and they heard the doorbell chime distorted over and over again play itself and no one was at the door opened it up back in December of 2023 and saw that the chime module had a burnt out resistor that was burnt off of it it’s black and crispy like toast lol

Tube sets make for warm audio! That is a great experience to have…
