So glad to see you are bouncing back and now better than ever! You're an inspiration to many of us who need it. I've seen you tackle many things that nobody else would ever try. Thanks so much Buzz. Only the best to you!
Sounds like Buzz is back in the saddle and sounding like your old self. Great to have you back and what a good idea for a series. Going to be especially helpful for the newer guys to see how a radio is built from scratch. Two thumbs up. Carry on.
Very Nice Buzz.. Fine workmanship. I remember once you fully rebuild a Radio Cabinet from scratch and Now you are building a Chassis from scratch. Thanks for sharing.
That's how I punch a chassis too, Buzz. Every attempt is a new adventure. Great idea for a series. I have no idea how you do these videos, but I'm dang glad you do. Thanks.
Missed seeing you Buzz. Great to see you again with what looks like a great project !! A build project from the floor up for an existing cabinet, a real interesting project !!!!
Glad to see you back Buzz! Going to be a great series, I'm looking forward to it. I made a guitar amp from scratch one time - very satisfying. Hope Dickel made it through the night OK. Best, Bill.
I heard someone screeam in the beginning as if his balls were being bit by a toothless dog. OK, I started freakin out, the Buzzmaster is making his own chassis. You're a flipping genius . I'm freakin out. Amazingly kick ass!!!
I think it is a great idea, thank you for making this series. I have never seen a twist drill bend like that before. Harbor Freight bits are crap, but they are not that bad.
Hi Buzz. Very happy to see another video buddy : ) Great to see you are going to build a radio from scratch. Hope to see you more here on RUclips, Miss you buddy. I had to laugh when I watched that drill bit flopping around like it did : ) Well Dickel is in another mess I see. All my very best Buzz. Bobby
@@Buzz1151 Thank you for asking buddy. Going pretty good, we have moved back in. still some small things to do but, very happy it was fixable . Smoke alarms in every room both ac and battery backup.,Etc. All electronics on metal and glass stands No power/surge strips.,has that was ruled the cause. Arc fault outlets where electronics are plugged in. Ah poor Dickel may never learn. : ) All my best Buzz and looking forward to more. Bobby
I had sort of a reverse of that idea...Take an existing chassis that has no wood case and build a case to house it. The idea's been in my head for several years now...sort of aged in the wood, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk! Yours looks like a much more difficult job though. I got a spring loaded awl/punch for Christmas that looks like it would have been good for your job. Center it where you want to drill a hole and release the spring mechanism and it makes a small indentation so the drill bit has a guide and doesn't try slipping around :) Will be looking forward to your progress on this radio. Take care, Gary
Great job, Buzz. Too bad you didn't have some chassis punches to help you out. I have a complete set in case I ever need them, which has been seldom. Never buy Chinese drill bits, only buy the best made. I am looking forward to more in this series. Don't finish it too quickly! Glad to see you back at it!
Great job! Doing a little home brewing, huh? And I don’t mean alcohol! Can’t wait to see your homemade radio work. Very attractive cabinet, it deserves to have some innards.
I'm Talking Tina...one of my favorite Twilight Zones with Telly Savalas (with hair!) . Only thing creepier than talking dolls are clowns! Great looking project Buzz...look forward to more. Give Peanut a scratch from me!
Oh, brother, Buzz, this is great, making a brand new vintage radio! Next, I hope you'll make a brand new vintage tape recorder. How hard could that possibly be?
OH BROTHER...when I we were kids, my brother built a wooden cabinet , and we put the guts ( well mostly my brother) of a cheap battery recorder inside it!!....glad to see you!
@@Buzz1151 LOL. Actually, I have a Panasonic RQ705 recorder with a plastic cabinet. For some reason, the cabinet is disintegrating. I though about building a wooden box for the recorder. Then I thought, too much work, and ate a bag of chips instead.
So you think the world needs another AA5 . At least you can use a bunch of them spare parts that you probably have amassed . I'll admit it's a pretty novel idea, building a chassis to fit a case, I have built a case to fit a chassis before. Good to see you're still going strong . Nice video, thanks!
Greetings: I enjoyed watching you building the chassis from scratch. I was wondering if you gave consideration to the orientation of the sockets before mounting them. Even if they were mounted so the positioning matched from tube to tube, the consistency might ease the wiring because you know the pins will be where you expect them. I am surprised that you did not cut the IF holes yet. As the cans have consistent wire colors, I would mount them matching with orientation dictated by their source and destination locations.
Glad to see you're back and doing well. Love the video! Maybe for your next series, you can build a cabinet also! Hah! Tell Dickel to contact Hillary's lawyers; perhaps they can help him out.
Very nice Buzz. Always enjoy your videos. Please stretch this series out as long as possible! See if you can beat John in Arkansas’ jukebox series record. (Well, maybe not that long....)
This is different...I like it! Of course, when I first read the subtitles of “Experimenting with Buzz”, the first thing that came to mind is episode two will feature Buzz mixing chlorine and bleach in a confined space...
If I were building this I would probably use all octal type tubes for practical reasons. In this case the 6A7 would be replaced by a 6A8, the 78 by a 6K7, the 75 by a 6B6 and the 41 by a 6K6. BTW you're gonna end up dulling your HSS hole saw cutting like that at such a high speed and without oil. Also, try center punching before drilling; it will keep the drill from walking.
I mean really ! It's his channel and I don't remember him asking ,people how they would build it ! Or everything they think he did wrong ! Best to mind your own business, if you can't say anything nice !!
What a great idea! Buzz, love your videos! after you drilled the socket holes, did you have to file down the edges? How will the chassis be attached to the wooden frame? Will the tuner have to be insulated from the chassis?
Buzz, great to see another video. A very ambitious project! Awesome. I have two questions. Can you turn your dial mounting plate around so the black faces forward? There is no flange along the bottom edges. How will you mount the chassis to the cabinet? Beautiful cabinet. Good luck. You are inspiring me to get off my arse and get busy. Cheers
Very good video! Creating a radio chassis is a good change of pace. I like it!! Did I detect a sound bite at 15:12 from a "Christmas Carol" movie? Dickel looks like he is in big trouble now! He'll have to contend with the doll from a Twilight Zone episode staring Telle Savalis. Looking forward to the next video.

something you dont see everyday
I enjoyed the hell out of that. Very ambitious to build a chassis from scratch. Looking forward to part 2 and seeing the wood case restoration.
Seems like everybody is liking it.....thanks
This was the first antique radio I ever found ,in 1972 nice memories thanks Buzz!
still have it?
Yes I got it when I was 12 years old.....I was skinnier and had hair....but less radios!
That's how I punch a chassis too, Buzz. Every attempt is a new adventure. Great idea for a series. I have no idea how you do these videos, but I'm dang glad you do. Thanks.
thrilled you enjoy the new series
Supper Duper video Buzz. Boy I can't wait for the next one. I'm very HAPPY you are doing this, I feel like I'm part of it. Thanks so much. 73 Leo
👍
Great to see a new series of videos. Yours are the best!
no, you are!
Brilliant job our Buzz :) xx
Andrew my friendly piano tuner mate!
Great idea Buzz. Loved the video. Fantastic quality. You make it look so easy. Can’t wait for the next one. Thanks. Dean
easy?.haha ...took me 2 weeks
Buzz, Your just too good at what you do! A sign of true professional! Nice to Peanut. Thanks again Buzz
Nice to see Peanut
Nice job Buzz....continued good health neighbor.
Keep 'em coming, Buzz! Hearing your theme music brightens our day!
Very ambitious and well done! Looking forward to part... Best, Don
It's good to see you again! Never saw anyone build a radio on RUclips like this. I'm looking forward to watching.
think of all the possible screw-ups ..haha
Thanks for nice content for t these shut in times.............
my pleasure marsh..I just uploaded a new video tonight, check it out
As always your videos are entertaining, humorous and informative. My kids like Mr. D and his shenanigans!
👍
I had thought of doing this but didn't have the courage until now. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
it's going to be a blast wiring it up
Very interesting project! I like watching your experiments! 👍👍
thanks robert
Awesome idea for a series Buzz and a great first video - I'm hooked. Regards, Dave
yay!
Very nice Buzz! Looking forward to part two.
👍
Great project and I can't wait for the next video!

Can't wait to see it working. Thanks!!!
Glad to see you back Buzz! Going to be a great series, I'm looking forward to it. I made a guitar amp from scratch one time - very satisfying. Hope Dickel made it through the night OK. Best, Bill.
Hey Bill...thanks..much appreciated...
Great project Buzz. Good to see you back!
what a great name digger...r u an undertaker?? haha
@@Buzz1151 LOL - no it's my metal detecting nick name.
Good to see a new project, Buzz. A scratch built chassis is great!
Good to see your video again Buzz.. this is a good project. Hope you are feeling well my friend... nice Job
Hey Ron C it seems like my idea is a hit...I am pleasantly surprised...Buzz
I have that exact radio. Got it when I was a kid 50 years ago. Thanks good job
Excellent as always!!
A rather ambitious project if I do say so. Looks like Peanut was supervising the progress..... Glad you're back!
peanut says "hi"
I heard someone screeam in the beginning as if his balls were being bit by a toothless dog.
OK, I started freakin out, the Buzzmaster is making his own chassis. You're a flipping genius . I'm freakin out. Amazingly kick ass!!!
It's an honor having the great Lockemeister watching my video!!!
Amazing as always Buzz 👍
😎
Great idea for a project! I liked part one a lot and am looking forward to part two!
I think it is a great idea, thank you for making this series. I have never seen a twist drill bend like that before. Harbor Freight bits are crap, but they are not that bad.
👍
Good to hear from you Buzz, nice work as always!
This is a wonderful surprise for a project. Can't wait to see the next video. Hope Dickel made it past midnight. I like that curmudgeon of a guy!
haha...some hate him, some like him.....
Great video Buzz. Keep up the good work!!!
glad u liked it
I'm going to enjoy this series very much. Nice work Buzz! Hope Dickel survives his ordeal unharmed......
ha
Excellent job Buzz old buddy! And good to see a new project! Looks like it will be a real nice radio. Can’t wait for part 2!
Looking forward to part 2 Buzz
me 2
Good Job Buzz!!!
Thanks as usual.
hi Gary, good to see u
I'll stop worrying about you now.
start worrying bout Dickel!
Great idea. Can not wait to see how it ends.
👍
you know, I never thought about building a radio from scrap parts I had lying around! I have plenty of spare parts... Really cool project Buzz!
Hi Dan..thanks
Neat project. Looking forward to the other videos.
I always wanted to see a radio scratch build. Good Job Buzz
VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great project. You are almost as fast as Ron C. LOL. You sure made it look easy. Looking forward to future editions.
Very nice idea Buzz! Interesting.
Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🙄
very interesting and creative
👍
WOW! Lots of nice work! [Hat tip]
👍
Liked seeing a new Buzz video.
Great video, that chassis is looking real good so far. Take care of yourself, you have a lot of fans buzz
thanks for your support
Amazing job Buzz! Quite a project. Glad to see you back.
👍
Muy buen trabajo, mi amigo un abrazo.
Eduardo, mi amigo, feliz te gustó mi video..... Buzz
Great video and nice job. looks good. Keep 'em coming!
Hi Buzz. Very happy to see another video buddy : ) Great to see you are going to build a radio from scratch. Hope to see you more here on RUclips, Miss you buddy. I had to laugh when I watched that drill bit flopping around like it did : ) Well Dickel is in another mess I see.
All my very best Buzz.
Bobby
Hi Bobby...How you doing after your terrible fire.......hope all is well...maybe Dickel will learn his lesson, once and for all!!....Buzz

hi ansel...it makes me happy so many like my idea about making a chassis...Buzz
I'm still waiting at the hospital for TheDykelDonationFoundation 😷
haha...keep waiting!
You are a MASTER!!
a Buzzmaster..lol
this is a Kool series ! i like it
great comment..lol
well done
👍

@@clydesight haha funny..I hope the chips were Ruffles!!
@@Buzz1151 I think they were MOSFET 1602 chips, not sure if they were barbecue though. The seasoning gets on the PCB. (LOL)
hi buzz very nice project
Bwaaah! "Talky Tina", my favorite Twilight Zone episode. Good to see you back, Buzz! You've been missed!
glad u liked it
Ahhh...that was almost painful to watch. Poor Buzz...doesn't anyone have a set of Greenlee punches to send to our buddy?
hope u had a laugh
Buff out the scratch. Have to pre-drill the pilot holes.
Great work and a lot of work on the videos! I wish I knew how to do all of that.
So you think the world needs another AA5 . At least you can use a bunch of them spare parts that you probably have amassed . I'll admit it's a pretty novel idea, building a chassis to fit a case, I have built a case to fit a chassis before. Good to see you're still going strong . Nice video, thanks!

Cool project. I would have used a knockout set to punch the holes in the chassis.
more fun to see the dreaded drill
Glad to see you're back and doing well. Love the video! Maybe for your next series, you can build a cabinet also! Hah! Tell Dickel to contact Hillary's lawyers; perhaps they can help him out.
Hello Major...good to see you..How's Hotlips?
that was great ! glad you're back ! John from Arkansas has been hogging RUclips long enough lol
thats cause john is prettier than me
Very nice Buzz. Always enjoy your videos. Please stretch this series out as long as possible! See if you can beat John in Arkansas’ jukebox series record. (Well, maybe not that long....)
haha..John can keep the record
This is different...I like it!
Of course, when I first read the subtitles of “Experimenting with Buzz”, the first thing that came to mind is episode two will feature Buzz mixing chlorine and bleach in a confined space...
i dont get it
It was a joke Buzz.... “experimenting” reminded me of a Mr. Wizard type thing with chemistry and such...BTW, don’t let Dickel mix bleach and chlorine!
The Franken-Airline: I've learned a lot.
If I were building this I would probably use all octal type tubes for practical reasons. In this case the 6A7 would be replaced by a 6A8, the 78 by a 6K7, the 75 by a 6B6 and the 41 by a 6K6.

to each his own...I make videos for the possible comedy effect doing it cheaply
thats what a normal person would do...i'm not normal haha
Buzz, if you are replicating the chassis with the original tube line-up that is very commendable. Don’t let the naysayers get you down! ;-)
Nice job Buzz........................................................Berni
👍
What a great idea! Buzz, love your videos! after you drilled the socket holes, did you have to file down the edges? How will the chassis be attached to the wooden frame? Will the tuner have to be insulated from the chassis?
Looks like the tuner is ground on the chassis
Buzz, great to see another video. A very ambitious project! Awesome.
I have two questions. Can you turn your dial mounting plate around so the black faces forward? There is no flange along the bottom edges. How will you mount the chassis to the cabinet?
Beautiful cabinet. Good luck. You are inspiring me to get off my arse and get busy.
Cheers
get to work..ha
Great Idea - Looks like a great idea for those chassis that are all beat up. How long in "real time" did all that take?
took about 2 months of planning
Very good video! Creating a radio chassis is a good change of pace. I like it!! Did I detect a sound bite at 15:12 from a "Christmas Carol" movie? Dickel looks like he is in big trouble now! He'll have to contend with the doll from a Twilight Zone episode staring Telle Savalis. Looking forward to the next video.
Hi Jim... yeah, clip was from xmas carol.....this project has plenty of potential screw-ups to make it interesting..haha
