That swollen bearing is not too difficult, I have dealt with them in the past with a few fireside and standard D machines, a good rubber mallet with a wooden dowel and a cloth on the mandrel Does the job well. If the bearing isn’t in multiple pieces, and is just swollen, then a drill bit with just a smaller diameter than the bearing can be inserted and wiggled around until it fits the mandrel Dowell. This has worked for me a few times, but if the bearing is in pieces, I would recommend the Phonograph shop for a new bearing. 👍

Looks like you have few Philco radios there. Are they for sale?

They will be as I work my way through the mountain of radios. I am rounding up missing parts and putting together recap kits with diagrams for everything in this room before I go after them. Right now I have 2 other phonographs and 2 radios ahead of these. I will be posting the radio stuff on my other channel www.youtube.com/@electricalmagicsmoke

You've got a very good start on a channel. Would like to see you actually do some of the restoration work and mechanical repairs. I know it's tough to film, but it's well worth it.

@davidwilliams1383 Thanks for the suggestion. Check out the phonograph triage 2 video. I'm currently working on a bunch of them at the same time. I will try to film in more detail as I get into them.

@OldMechanicalMagic LOL! Yep, I watched that one next and thought, "damn, he's got it figured out now." Subscribed

@@davidwilliams1383 As of right now Im trying to learn how to electroplate nickel onto the phonograph parts. I will post the process once I get the results I am looking for!

Hey there, you've got a fun little project . Nice unit. Going to be a beautiful piece when it's done.

I love the horn it shows its age, restoring it would devalue it. Cheers from Australia.

If the diaphragm inside the reproducer needs replacing, I don't know much about these but I think I read about someone who makes reproductions.

That era of radio was called a “regen” set where there were three knobs to align in order to receive stations, other knobs to adjust tube filament voltage. It can be frustrating so my advice is there’s a gentleman here on KZbin channels called glassinger who builds his own tubes and they work! Watch his channel and contact him for help. He’s the highest knowledgeable person you can contact but hurry as he’s as old as your radio! ( approach with open mind please).

I have seen alot of his videos. Very knowledgeable. The radio club I belong to is currently trying to locate me a ux120 tube. It is proving to be a challenge. I won't be going after another Radiola again unless it already has its tubes.

You must get a great deal of satisfaction bringing these machines back to life. Enjoyed the video and learnt something. Tanks

I do! This is a hobby of mine that I would like to make a living at if I can get good enough 😅

the metal horn is from a pakistani CRAPOPHONE. it is not an antique and will not fit an edison phonograph.

Where did you obtain the glass or saphire recording stylus? I've been searching for one and can not find anything that will work
