I'm always amazed how much you are able to do with the wooden cases. I hate the particle board/press board. To me, it's the reason there aren't many antiques passed the years they started using that stuff. I had a stereo much like this one, but I think it was an RC from the 70s. The humidity caused the press wood to swell. I'm sorry to say, I couldn't salvage it.

I missed your video, Mate, 2 weeks ago. Good video and now I have a couple more to see.

Sometimes you cant see the spark over indside the can as they are usually filled with jelly like substance but this the way to attempt whisker blow to clear the whisker. I took a can apart once and it was full of whiskers. They glint like silver but it is very difficult to clean them out as the device is very delicate at the wire and transistor juntions. If you cant clear it try searching for equavelents.

So the actual length of the wire in the field coil winding is literally over a mile long!

Beautiful job Dave! I've used Danish oil a few times and have always been very happy with the results - and it's easy to use!

Great job as usual danish oil is my fav finish so easy to apply really enhances the wood and dries so quickly you rarely have any issues dust contamination

Loved the restoration, David! Can you please tell me what criteria do you go by to decide oil finish or other types of finish? Thanks!

Where'd you get that coil winding machine from Dave? Approximately how much are they?

Easily one of my favorite videos on the tube, I have watched it a half dozen times. Not sure why I always get so excited when Dave puts up a video. I’m not even interested in old radios but I love these videos. Please! Please do another radio build video!

Beautiful looking cabinet David. You really have outdone yourself this time. I am sure your wife will love the work you have done. You always pay attention to detail on your projects. Thanks for the video. I am in my second year of remission from Leukemia oncologist says everything looks good. LL

Thanks

@DavidTipton101 Bad news our end. Wayne has been very ill (though he chose to hide it from me and his mum). He has been rushed into Hospital with severe bleeding from his backside. At 53, it seems he has been battling prostrate cancer, without saying a word to anyone. Please Take Care All Your End. Nina 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😢😢😢😢😢😢😢👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent job, you are a master at the craft.

Takes me back so many years

I always wondered why the dials on Australian radios only have the location of stations and not the frequencies.

Nice cabinet restoration Dave looking forward to part 3

Hi Dave, Tim from Chelmsford UK here (birthplace of wireless). I love your attention to detail both with the electronics and the case. Your video quality and editing are just superb as is your commentary. I think all your subscribers appreciate the amount of effort that you make to keep us entertained. Thanks a million and please keep them coming!

It's great watching your videos. It's sad however that here in the UK radios like these will soon be redundant as AM broadcasts are turned off....

It is the most amazing restoration work.

Thank you for the new, instructive, interesting video! )

You’re AMAZING! Thanks for a great video. I’m convinced your work inspires us all to aim higher.

Al i can say is wow !!! another great job done by you, Give your self a pat on the back David. Looking forward to the next adventure !!

Once again, another triumph for you, Dave. As Manuel mentioned, I love that 3d printer too. I'm curious, have you done any non-radio cabinetry work? Your attention to detail is fantastic.

Lovely restoration. You keep raising the bar. Kriesler always made quality products. It's great to see one brought back to it's former glory.

No words..! Pure craftmanship! Excellent job again David. So weird seeing you in shorts while it's freezing over here..😏

You sure take refinishing work to another level that's beyond most of us but that won't stop some from eventually trying to emulate some very successful restoration practices. It doesn't look like you paid 5 bucks for it now. Maybe 800 bucks! My hats off to you Dave! Steve from Illinois

Hey David....Nice Gram...Always marvel at those who invented all the levers and cogs etc. and how they ever managed to get it all to work..! Great job as usual..Hope you're keeping well..Ed..uk..😄

What Beautiful job David !

Love to see that attention to detail lavished on a set that wasn't what you'd call "aspirational". It's a radiogram anyone would be proud to own now. Nice work!

stellar mate

Great job on the cabinet. I really like that styling. I was a bit worried about those Tassie Oak strips. I had the same trouble using a piece of Tassie Oak on the HMV to make up a missing moulding. The hardest part was getting an even colour on it. I ended up using shellac under the stain. So you're still keeping us guessing about the mystery addition. Let me know when you've settled in at Manuel's. I'm sure he'll have room for a couple of visitors. Cheers

Nice job on the cabinet as always. I never get tired of seeing the cabinet restoration part of the process, always picking up new tips. I look forward to the next video.

wow....what an effort Dave.

Great job on the cabinet. This reminds me of when I was young and keen we did many cabinets and furniture with the so called Scandinavian oil finish. It is easy to get a beautiful finish Before 3D printing I’d be bending those clips and such out of aluminium or maybe moulded with plastibond resin. A very tedious and not always pretty result.

Super travail comme d'habitude , bravo Dave. Be Seeing You 👌 N°6

You keep saying your not a woodworker and then proceed to be one. 😊 I think the problem you were having with the light/dark spots on the spliced on piece was due to differences in grain direction. The veneer is peeled off the log lengthwise, and the splice looks to be quarter sawn which will give you extreme light/dark stained area because of the differences in the porosity of the grain. But it was no match for your woodworking skill! I really looks good now. Well, I was really disappointed when you didn't belt out a tune after the mic restore. 🎶 Oh wait; I keep forgetting about YT copyright issues. 😊

That cabinet is beautiful. If you didn't know that was a repair on the lid you'd think it was an accent originally from the factory.

Beautiful work as usual Dave! Looking forward to part 3. 🤠

David a Magnificent Refurbishment of the Kriesler Muti Sonic they were loverly Radio Gram they end production in Australia they produce a Solid State model with AM FM tuner the model was fitted with two 30 inch woofer in Separate cabinets, I think it was early 80so,Sadly Kriesler was owned to Philips and sacked all the workers I guess didn’t like competition I think now Philips it shadow of It self,Ian

the cabinetry is looking great!

No wonder it has the *part of your furnuture* term it just blends right in lol

Great job as usual, I love the close up shot's of your work and can't wait to see the final video

The cabinet looks awesome! Can't wait for the next video!

It sure looks spiffy! The wood repair looks perfect. Always a delight to see your videos.

Absolutely lovely Dave 😃a brilliant job - cheers Mark

Furniture Restorer Radio Restorer,is there anything this man can't do.....excellent video...Roll on Pt3...

I can't help wonder how many of these still have the original microphone?

Hi David, as usual an excellent presentation. I have had a passion for these particular Kriesler radio grams likewise. I have two complete units and a further two radio chassis’s only. The one common problem I have with all the radio chassis’s is the poor state of the print on the glass. A lot of it has distorted/ damaged. Is there someone or something I can do to get this issue sorted. The radio grams are very well engineered and your videos on the restoration of these models are very pleasing to watch 🎉

Great job so far and amazing attention to detail. FM stereo module? Oooh you tease!
