Merry Christmas Mike. You've done a great job revisiting this classic project. Furthermore, the tips and teachings contained in each video are very important to educate and encourage the new generation to venture into these types of projects. Congratulations from Brazilian preservationists.
Hello Mike, Merry Christmas. I see a lot of interesting projects coming our way. The part with the crystal filter here was very informative. I look forward to it continuing :-) 73 de Bernd
This looks amazing! BTW the smaller (newer) style crapstal CANNOT be sanded down! I had an ole' timer tell me years ago that he used to sand down his (ft-43) crystals to raise his frequency. SO..........(this was 1993 mind you, I was still a Johny Novice) Well, desoldering the outer case of my crystal, I was able to get access to the nice little disc inside. It did NOT survive 150 grit sand paper very well! 73 and Merry and Happy and all that stuff!
Hi, 71 YO trainee electronic tech here! I watch a lot of YT videos about building and designing "stuff", and in a vid about building a power supply, the presenter, (Paul Carson I think) said about ensuring that the transformers, chokes and inductors are "out of phase" with their coils out of line to stop inductive pick up and hum. I note that the mains transformer and the choke are close together and the coils appear to be in line, will this interfere with the performance or have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick? Please help by clearing up this confusing issue for me. Thank you Jim M7BXT
I just asked for my kids, when we will share the presents... ...and Michael appeared to be my Santa Claus! Merry x-mas! 73 de OH8UBJ, Juha from north Finland

Nice work!
The filter section is very good! Thank you. I learned a lot. Seasons greetings!
Thanks for the Crystal Filter instruction its subject I never thought about appreciate.
Looks great Mike, looking forward to hearing it work.
I think you've been more busy than the elves up north to get all that done!! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Carry on sir! Looking forward to Part 5.
Great info Mike , Merry Christmas
Great explanation about Crystal filter 😊😊😊
Waiting for the next video
Merry Christmas Mike
Merry Christmas!
Interested to see if all the careful testing and design work results in a fully operational unit at switch on. It would certainly break the mold!
I'm going low freq IF, and a one crystal filter (or two) is amazing!!
Thank you, Merry Christmas. I Am from Rio Claro, Brazil.73!!!!
The explaining and testing crystal filters was the best part, of your video Mike, the whole building of this receiver is interesting. 👍📻❄☃⛄🐧
You need a chassis nibbling tool... It is better than sawing/hacking and your hand gets a great workout in the process 💪 - nice job and 73s
Regarding the "vanity" of putting the HC-49 into the FT-243 holder...
Everyone knows there ain't no Vanity Clause!
Merry Christmas!
