DIY push-to-latch antenna? Yes, it can be done! Sony CRF-320 restoration Pt.6
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2024
- I just couldn't let well enough alone. This fantastic radio came originally with really cool antennas (push to pop them out - push to latch), which always fascinated me. The fact that this particular set had none of these antennas in place, bothered me greatly. I did find some replacement antennas on the market (for the Grundig Satellite 750 Pro / Eton Elite 750 / Tecsun S-2000), which would have looked quite good in this one, but that wasn't enough. I wanted to make pop out from their spring-loaded fittings, and so I decided to DIY a solution.
I think it turned out quite well. See for yourself.

Fixing those small things can be a real joy. Trying to fix them can be a whole other story.
Being stubborn is a super power
😊
Very well done Manuel, 3D printing pays off, and now that antenna has met his second maker.
😊
Absolutely brilliant!!! Congratulations and well done on getting over a monumentally difficult hurdle. This antenna solution works like a dream. What is incredible about everything you have done in this series is you have given the chance of many CRF-320's that are out there the possibility of a new lease of life. Gears, the antenna solution etc are things that were out of reach prior to 3D printing. What a great investment you made in getting that machine! This whole series has been a journey of stunning perseverance and creativity both electronically and mechanically. Genius work! Hat’s off to you!! Very impressive!! 🙌
Thanks 😊
so right 👍
I'm not suprised you're chuffed, you should be! Resourceful yet beautifully simple. And they look the absolute business!
👍
Congratulations! Very nice solution ! It’s also nice to see that 3D printing has become just another tool in your workshop, naturally integrated to your workflow ! Cheers, Manual !
Definitely a very handy tool
Well done! 3D printing is a game changer, I'm an old engineer and trained mechanic so that I could make almost any part, even without a lathe, but 3D printing is such a time saver 😂 and when you're getting old, time is the least you have 😂 still working on my Saba Freiburg, the duplex clutch is slipping 😢
👍
Ingenious! 😎
😊
Manuel. You can get things called "Chicago screws" in various sizes (they are more usually used on leather belts, etc.) and the "bolt" part of them make for excellent replacement end caps for the tops of aerials. I have used them to fix quite a lot of aerials. Hope this suggestion might help you sometime in the future. By the way, neat job on recreating that pop-up aerial - shows persistence does pay!
Thanks 👍
Stubbornness sometimes pays off, doesn't it? Excellent work!
Thanks 😊
How gratifying to use your 3D printer to resolve the antenna problem, in fact many of the problems on this radio. It really does look the part and works as the original. Congrats on your ingenuity.
Thank you
A great job, I wouldn't have thought of a kitchen cupboard door latch. It works well, but above all, looks good.
👍
Bravo, well done!
Thanks
You are incredible, greetings from Belgium.👍
👍
Your getting very good at using Fusion 360! 👍 Looks like the original antenna!
It takes some learning, but is really a great tool
We've always known you're a genius but this time you've really outdone yourself. 🙂
Still trying to place your accent. Sounds like somewhere way down South...
Way, way down south … South Africa. PMB to be precise.
A Superb solution! Well done sir.
Thank you
Great 3D-printing work, Excellent! One minor detail : in the top-bracket for the antenae you could have made a small indent on the inside to add a rubber ring to keep out moisture..
👍
Fantastic solution to your antenna problem. Years ago I commented that you should get a 3d printer. You did and I’m sure you, like me, find it invaluable and indispensable , although it can open up another bottomless rabbit hole if you are not careful. The antenna top button might be better attached if you use the technique of incorporating a steel nut ( which has the correct matching thread) into the plastic while printing. The button will then screw on easily and still be removable if required.
The 3D printer was indeed a great addition, and (as you say) another rabbit hole 😊
Nice little mods there! You’re proud of the outcome and rightly so :-)
👍
Fantastic solution. Thank you very much for sharing it with us. Once again, great job, great channel
👍
Thanks
You SHOULD be proud of yourself..! Amazing what solution you came up with. Nice work!
Thanks 😊
What a repair of the latch mechanism, Great!
😊
Fine job
Thanks
Brilliant, you do good work Manuel
So when are you going to tell your wife you ordering a lathe
Im trying to find a believable use for it in the kitchen, then I could say it’s a house tool 😊
Manoel sem palavras ficou top parabéns…
Queria surpreender-te 😊
A round of applause from me!
😊
Well done. Good job.
👍
Well done
Thanks
Nice!
👍
Gratulálok, nagyon jó lett! Az előző részben amikor említette, hogy jó lenne a sűlyesztést is megoldani, már láttam magam előtt a megvalósulást is. Ha kérdezte volna a nézőktől, hogy kinek milyen ötlete van, én is az ajtóféket ajánlottam volna. Szép munka, sokat tanulok a videóiból, köszönöm. Üdvözlettel Attila Magyarországról!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🙏
I love using Fusion 360 !
I’m starting to myself
Great job. How about the little door missing on the clock?;)
That’s a tough one to model
@@electronicsoldandnew i trust at some point the little door will find its way:)
