Someday some old man is gonna have a iPhone that he described as amazing but it stopped working losing all the data. Nahh... this sorta a story is a lost art. New generation's will never have lore
Our present ways of massive consumerism have diluted small items from having lasting impacts. We just toss them aside. This is a reminder it's not about the item, it's the memories it creates and with whom.
It's how I feel about the 71 Buick Riviera I had to hunt down after my dad had to sell his 72 back in 05 then passed away in 2012. The moment I found one to buy almost had me in tears
As a newly engaged, I have so much respect for happy marriages that have lasted that long. 36 years! Wow. Best of luck and I’m sure your wife is looking over you.
I'm married 5 years. So sorry to read this. I remember when I'm my grandad passed away my nana was so lost. She would sometimes say things thinking he was still in the room. They were together from the age of 16 till he passed at 79. She passed away at 92. Much love and respect.
I'm glad this show's producers have'nt gone down the GLAMORISED HOLLYWOOD ROUTE and kept it down to earth with the raw emotion because any other way just wouldn't of worked..BRAVO
So you suppose had it been produced in the US they'd have inserted explosions and raunchy sex into this radio restoration, or what? How exactly do you do a GLAMORISED restoration show? Residents of the country that produced Naked Attraction, Big Brother, X Factor, etc. gulping their tea and railing about Hollywood is worth a chuckle.
@@niclas9990 They are talking about how in some shows, they would have really hung on with the footage of crying, thrown dramatic sad music over it and lingered. If you've never seen that in tv, you've not watched enough. :P
I love these people ; so much respect for whatever object they get in their hands, and always a quality result, even when they don't get it to work again they will do whatever it takes and use all the skills they have.
When companies make solid products and people take care of their items, memories can be made with them when they can last almost a lifetime and not end up in the landfills.
Such a beautiful concept for a program, some American television really plays up drama and there's no need to. I'd much prefer a calm and moving show like this than those ANYDAY of the week. Seeing him break down smashed my heart to pieces but the compassion displayed by the shop owners was very touching. This radio being repaired probably meant more to him than any amount of money in the world 🥺 if my husband isn't as loyal, kind, and loving as this man is, I don't want anything at all.
@Phillip Banes Where is this concept that most women are just looking for money in men? I guess you could say that about men using women for sex right 🤷🏽♀️ almost the same amount of women and men are employed. Women are not the only ones who enjoy money ya know. The only women I know who are gold diggers are the ones you see on TV or hear on these podcast talking crazy to get more views. Most women just want a stable man who she can build a life with. It isn't man vs woman thing, it's a horrible person vs horrible person thing. There is so many good women and men out there! Maybe these guys should stop looking for only pretty faces and sexy bodies and you might just find a loyal, hard working, and kind hearted girl. I know quite a few of them.
Goddammit, who cares what American television is like, I swear to God, I can't watch a single clip from a British TV show without people shitting on the US and it just completely ruins my mood. We get it, we're a god awful country with nothing to show for, stop pointing it out, these videos just make me angry now.
@@Providence.. Wow relax, Im from the U.S, I don't think I was shitting on america. I was simply saying that American television plays up the drama on a lot of shows.
In times of war, outrage, protests and polarization, it's so wonderful to be reminded, that there are still kind, unselfish, helpful, caring people out there. Imagine what the world could be like, if everybody were like this...
To think that more people than not aren't like this is what's weird, Do you really think you'd have food, internet, music, economy, any working infrastructure at all if people didn't do all of that every damn year? The world isn't supposed to be some fairytale heaven or hell, The world is as it always was is and will be in the future, Humans just tend to make up fantasies about what they think it is like because they read some negative articles.
True love never dies. Got a bit dust in my eyes watching this. Bless him, I'm glad he got his dream to come true, that is more than just a radio to him, it's a connection to his true love.
My Father was a TV repair engineer and sadly he got dementia, we had an old valve radio in the garage and he swapped out the audio output valve for a totally different one to get it going and get sound again.. He was brought up working on valve radios in his youth but he remember how to repair old gear no problem.. He passed away 6 yrs last week and I keep his old radio pride of place and it's still work. This brought a lump to my throat.. it's never just a radio its about the memories.
That's wonderful and I love stories like that, Im sure a lot of people see things that are old like this and just toss them but I always see it as these items have been lived in and had a life of their own. Kind of like the old saying "If these....could talk." They create memories for people and bring happiness, enjoyment, people together whatever it may be.
The radio is the original form of home entertainment and I still love the radio. A lot of memories for this man especially now this radio is brought back to life.
Isn't it amazing that something like an old radio can hold so many wonderful memories for someone. I'm so appreciative of these talented people for giving an old man back his wife.
It's funny, as you get older, you don't care about money, the latest trends or whatever anyone else thinks. It's the important things that create memories of happier times that really matters.
Lovely sweet man, and so many memories wrapped up in that radio. So glad they brought it back to life. Hope he has many more years listening to it in the greenhouse.
I'm so used to seeing younger people handle these restorations that seeing the older masters here just makes this so much more pleasing somehow. It's positively wonderful.
When he talked about losing his beloved wife, ug the lump in my throat was so large. Bless him. Cheers to those people for getting his radio/heart back in working order.
The Radio is a memory to this man its like his wife through that radio was alive again and you can tell he went back into time and was young again this makes my heart melt and made me cry.
Don't ever underestimate the little things that older people hang on. We may not understand but there is often a story like that behind it... Well done guys! 👍😎👌
Sentimental value is so important. That's not just a radio. It's a transitional object that tells the story of one's life. That radio is the source of all his best memories of being around the people he loves and loved. I am so happy for him. Well done to these restorers. They are doing important and fulfilling work. Bravo.
My Grandad has an old Sony pocket transistor that he has carried around with him since the 60's - he and my Nan listened to it as teenagers when they rode together on his Lambretta. They still carry it around in their car to this very day. I remember listening to it when we all went on family holidays to a caravan in Cornwall. Great memories.
Elderly people are more precious to me than kids . I know that’s might not be the PC thing to say but people tend to cater and give so much attention to kids . Older people , many times are neglected , ignored . They just want to be seen and heard . He’s such a sweet and precious man . God bless him. I’m so glad they were able to bring back some joy in his life , renovating this radio . Great video .. Cheers from Texas !
wow, such a special object for him. any little thing of significance can bring you back and remind you of the person you miss, ive experienced it myself.
Loved the video , my grandfather had a 1948 PHILCO radio 46-480 that was in an aceptable condition and I and a friend of mine who is a carpenter decided to fix the old radio I was going to do the insides of the radio changing bulbs etc… and my friend the woodwork and after 3 months of non stop working it was like brand new my grandfather y grandmother couldn’t believe their eyes it was like magic a spark or real happiness and I felt so good
There's not one of these episodes that doesn't hit the heart strings 😥 for me they give back memories for those who have lost the repair shop and the people are not only amazing at the craft they are god sent god bless you all for what what do .❤
This needs more attention. My heart goes out to this beautiful man and anyone else who has lost their love and just wants to find a way to feel connected again. It's humbling and eye-opening to young people like myself to love harder 💖
I love that they kept the toothbrush DIY buttons in there just because it didn't feel right to remove them since they were a part of the radio's living history haha
I'll be 60 years old next year and for most of my life, I've had a pretty lousy outlook concerning humanity. Sad to say it but I am admitting it to all. When I see this man going into the repair shop to have a radio repaired that he had once shared with the love of his life and I see the genuine concern of the men at the counter, I get a renewed sense of hope for Mankind. The world has many things wrong and yet, here you have something that is Very Right. I'm not even worthy to carry that man's radio. He's a Man's, Man. He is a real tough guy. A man who lived for his wife and family. I hope that more men would follow this example of what a real Man is. God Bless this man, his daughter and the people of that repair shop. For about 10 measly minutes, hope in Mankind has been restored.
It's wonderful to see the joy of someone who is in awe. This fella is more than over the moon, He's completely in awe of what's been achieved and accomplished by experts indeed. Really brings me to tears seeing the joy.
This is what we need in the world, just to see the happy, smiling faces of anyone who wants to hold on to precious memories. Well done , Repair Shop & thank you!!🙂😂👍❤
just an old radio, but to him more valuable than gold, in tears when he talked about his wife, true soul mates
For us all just a radio. But to him it's a world full of stories, pictures, moments.
for him, not just a radio, it was his marriage, his love, his life.

so sorry to hear this Thom, may she rest in peace and may you find peace
Very sorry for your loss..sending love and a hug your way.
Hope you are well Thom. You will walk with her again some day.
"It's just a radio"
It's more than just a radio. It's memories. That sort of thing, you just can't replace.
I'm glad this show's producers have'nt gone down the GLAMORISED HOLLYWOOD ROUTE and kept it down to earth with the raw emotion because any other way just wouldn't of worked..BRAVO
British tv
yep!! This is why the wife and I prefer BBC to the US
So you suppose had it been produced in the US they'd have inserted explosions and raunchy sex into this radio restoration, or what? How exactly do you do a GLAMORISED restoration show?

Poor guy probably didn’t want to cry but just couldn’t hold it back. I hope he finds a little peace and joy in his newly fixed radio. 😢

I appreciate them keeping the age and history of the piece instead of completely refurbishing it
What a sweet man-it's so nice to see he could get his beloved radio back!
Seeing this brought back memories of my late father's Panasonic radio he had and we still have it
That's wonderful and I love stories like that, Im sure a lot of people see things that are old like this and just toss them but I always see it as these items have been lived in and had a life of their own. Kind of like the old saying "If these....could talk." They create memories for people and bring happiness, enjoyment, people together whatever it may be.
8 seconds in and I get dust in my eyes when he says "Thank ya my dear boy"
Bless him. It's amazing how inanimate objects mean so much to people and are associated with special memories.
They're something you can look at and instantly be transported back to better, or even in some cases, worse times.
Well, I certainly didn't expect to be balling at my computer this fine evening. What a sweet man!
God bless this gentleman, his beloved radio and may he feel his wife close to him each time he listens. How beautiful.
What a sweet human being 🥺
The radio is the original form of home entertainment and I still love the radio. A lot of memories for this man especially now this radio is brought back to life.
Man, I love this show. These guys are totally dedicated to what they do. So much respect for all involved.
I watched and I realized, there is someone smiling in Heaven Now.
That old man is absolutely wonderful.
What a beautiful little radio 📻
I'm not crying. You're crying. Lovely story.
to the widower; sir, thank you for sharing those beautiful memories with the world.

This one made me cry I am 6.2 295 its so hard to find good people now days so much hate out there . I love this I love old radios and electronics
I'm so used to seeing younger people handle these restorations that seeing the older masters here just makes this so much more pleasing somehow. It's positively wonderful.
The memories made from this old radio are priceless to him..
So wonderful what they did for the gentleman. The lady who fixed the handle has a lovely smile. All around good vibes!!
She is Susie and is lovely

What a pleasure to revive an old piece, the history behind every single one. Priceless
What a gentle soul 😢 teared up on how much he misses his dearly beloved. He is a great man…
and im crying... such a beautiful story.. this sweet ol man.. thank you for helping him out
I lost my grandmother, I know what he means...just good memories..
The little things we take for granted
This strikes me hard . But it also screams right to repair.
it's amazing how we humans need very little like this gentlemen to make us happy, more people could learn from him.

There was a lot of love here, shown in different ways. Lovely.
What a sweet old man. I'm so glad they got it working again!
80% of humanity wont ever know what marriage is let alone what a close relationship this man experienced with his wife.
Elderly people are more precious to me than kids . I know that’s might not be the PC thing to say but people tend to cater and give so much attention to kids .

Beautiful, Brilliant, fighting back tears gents. Good on you guys, just superb
wow, such a special object for him. any little thing of significance can bring you back and remind you of the person you miss, ive experienced it myself.
People all over the world should quest to find this man and give him a hug.
Isn’t amazing something so minuet means so much , if he hadn’t been so happy, I would have cried , so heart warming
Sweet. My dad studied and repaired radios and record playes from the 40s. Reminds me of him. Of course brought tears to my eyes.
This reminds me of my grandpa's radio it was from the 40s and I really wish I still had it
Aah, that really touched my heart. It's amazing what you did for that man!😭

beautiful story....ahh the memories. Thanks for sharing. Music has a way with so many of us.
As a radio lover, this moved me to tears.
God bless you for helping this good man.
Love love the toothbrush knobs. Glad you kept them 🥰
Best to be human, bless him respect.
Brilliant! What a lovely thing to do for this Gentleman.
I love that they kept the toothbrush DIY buttons in there just because it didn't feel right to remove them since they were a part of the radio's living history haha

This was probably the best restoration that the repair shop have ever done. 👍

Really brings me to tears seeing the joy.
Beauty comes from simple things
Wonderful story, this is what love is all about.
So perfect! These people care which is very rare in our world nowadays.
To bring joy to someone’s heart like these people did for this old man it would be wrong not to call them Saints.
Total exaggeration.
I literally yelled out loud "No f****** way" when they turned it on great work fellas VERY great work 👏 👍 👌 💪 🙌 💯
That made me tear up, but in a good way. What a dear old man. Just like my Pop.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I miss my Pop.
Losing someone who was your soul mate for such a long time can be very painful. I guess we will be lucky to live our partners long enough.
This is what we need in the world, just to see the happy, smiling faces of anyone who wants to hold on to precious memories. Well done , Repair Shop & thank you!!🙂😂👍❤
Love for an inanimate object but it's a connection to his late wife, the love of his life. Followed by his daughter.
Glad they got it working again.
Wonderful respect and love for these owners, brilliant
Wonderful. Bless the gentleman and respect to the lovely and talented experts. Such a great show.
Beautiful story brought me to tears, good tears✌️💙
How sweet to repair something him and his wife enjoyed.
I absolutely love restorations wish it was longer and in more depth 😊
Just amazing.
Nice and heart warming.
Treasures hold memories. If an object is lost or heaven forbid: sold, so are the memories.
I absolutely adore this show!
Old fashioned love story, real gentleman wonderful story ❤
Videos like this make me smile
