Thank you so much ❤

Do you find the older tube Conn tuners to actually be more stable than the ST-11’s? Dunno if that is all of them, or just mine.

Old video but hopefully you reply. If I remove hoses one and two, and plug them, will that open up my centre vents?

2024 anyone?

It's very funny picking on the legibility, if people buy this dial thinking it's easy to read then common sense is not in play. Wish more company's would take more risks with their watches as 80% of the market is pretty much identical.

Loved the cat. Thanks for filming this. I just bought the Seitz tool after watching the recommendation from Alex Hamilton I realized that I actually had the micrometer cap in the box (haven't received it yet) from seeing your pictures. Looking forward to using it.

Looks like you are working on an old "Radio Shack" receiver like mine! Having the huge "old school" Sansui speakers (the ones with the "real wood" front grills) I never needed a lot of amp power to make decent volume, and that receiver model's modest output serves me just fine. My only complaint was that the stereo multiplex indicator on the faceplate quit working at some point and Radio Shacks repair outfit said a partcular IC had failed (and it was no longer available). They also removed the red indicator component during the repair attempt, and I had to pop the lid to cover its mounting hole with a spot of electrical tape... the glaring white light from the dial lamps coming through the missing stereo lamp's original location was a distraction in low ambient light circumstances. Anyway ... I'm filing your tape backer tip into a couple of brain cells... There have definitely been a few times using this would have been quite handy!!!

Genius! Thanks!

Fantastic 🎉

I recently aquired a Stroboconn Scanning unit and tuning unit with EV mike at a liquidation sale. There were no cables to connect the units or power cord. I would like to see if they are working units but without the cables next to impossible. I would be willing to sell these units to someone who could refurbish and us.

Good looking watch! How about the bezel? Heard from some peope that bezel is loose.

I had to trouble shoot one of these on my own once. I learned a lot more about the machine that way 😂 it was confusing at first haha

Completely harmless unles ingested ☢️

This video helped me fix some gremlins years ago. Just watched again, great video. thank you.

Can u help me fix my marantz 2238b please

Same problem.mine said table Error I assume u picked up belts from Amazon

Interesting video! I gotta say that strap looks pretty ugly though

Is there a particular reason as to why those places? just checked mine, ref. 329.32.44.51.01.001. It checks out 👌

2.2 milliRads per hour is unbelievable....and it was still climbing before you ended measurement. Wow! Edit: And then the Elgin at 26.5 mR/hr! Dont lick the dial lol.

When working on watches with Radium one of the first things to consider are gloves. Next would be ventilation. Then face mask. My biggest worry was you were handling the material without wearing rubber gloves or at least finger cotts. Very informative, thanks. Good Fortunes, Great Successes and Many Blessings 🤝

Where did you get the belts from😊

I bought this watch a year ago and it has spent more time at the shop getting the besel fixed than on my wrist. It is a piece of garbage.

Ripping & tasty

I realize this is the most basic of questions ..When wiring the cinch Jones plugs which plug is positive?

Oops, I've been wearing a 1950 Omega Seamaster every day for the last two years, will get a Geiger counter on it.

I'm wondering is it on the same level as nuclear fallout ingestion

I wish you were not shaking when you made this video. Informative, though- thanks.

Awesome piano. Can't wait to see what it sounds like when it's completely restored including the bass strings. I am from Grand Rapids Michigan and I know that they were originally built in GR before the company was moved to Muskegon by Charles Hackley. Have you looked into restoration?

Very good ! I have a question, there are some metal pieces, if broken, how can i repair..?

Copycats are taking notes

Interesting. Either there are differences between the old and new tools or perhaps yours has been modified? The spring on mine, the Star/Bergeon, doesn’t grip the spindle towards the top like yours, it loosely slides along the spindle hence it will not push the spindle up when the micrometric cap is attached. What makes the spring to grip the spindle?

In the 60's we used to buy what was called "luminous" paint, and make skeletons and skulls of cardboard and paint it on for fun, to frighten people, but it didn't contain any radium, only zinc sulphide and some other phosphors which are harmless. It's quite easy to tell the difference as luminous paint fades quite quickly after exposure to light whereas radium keeps on glowing. I always wanted to get some as a child, but I'm rather glad I didn't now!

I have an old radium compass that measures 500,000 CPM. Compete with that! lol. Although I have scintillation detector, which is more sensitive than a geiger counter.

You mentioned lubricating the motor at the 15:30 mark. What exactly do you recommend for that? Someone suggested silicone, but I’d rather be sure before I use anything. Thanks for your help!

Q750 is listed as a 2SC1885, which should be a TO-92(L) case, however the one I'm working on (as was yours) is a TO-126 which I can't ID because the heat has dulled the case so much. I'm going to try to find a more robust replacement since I'm still in the middle of repairing this. Marantz receivers are not the most repair-friendly.

Interesting video. I've always loved watches and recently started dabbling with vintage watches. I bought a small bag of old broken watches from someone and started tinkering. It's fascinating learning about a watch and its movement as you fix it. In that process however, I noticed one of them said "ra SWISS MADE ra" on the dial. That put me into a rabbit hole of terror now. I've put them all in tins and away from my work station and ordered a Geiger counter which will be here tomorrow. But I spent a few hours partially tearing down some of these watches oblivious to any dangers. I mean... they're just watches, right? Apparently not. Anyways, I'm hoping for the best when the counter comes in the mail, but I may have just eaten a few years off my life. 😷😢 Lesson learned...

Thanks for the video! I had the problem with the turntable drive bets, except my belts had somehow melted. I hadn't used the turntable in many years since I now mostly listen to mp3s of all my music. I had to remove the turntable to properly clean up the melted rubber from the drive pulleys. Rubbing alcohol and Q-tips did an excellent job although the job was meticulous and time consuming. I had a problem with the discs spilling out after reassembly. The problem was that the tabs on the turntable shield in the back of the unit actually penetrate the frame. My work surface did not allow the cd changer to sit flat and the tabs pushed back out of the frame openings. I never would have thought that Sony would have created a situation where the shield cound be pushed loose simply by setting the cd changer on an uneven surface.

I have this same watch (white dial) and this checks out. Thanks for the info 😊

Needs more views

I just discovered that I have owned, for about 4 years, a most likely radioactive Soviet tank clock. The watch was WITHOUT GLASS. I kept the watch mostly in a cardboard box, in a wardrobe drawer, near the underwear and clothes I wear every day. I don't know what level of radiation we're talking about because I don't have the instrument to measure it. What about the other wristwatches (without radio) that were kept in the same box, will they be contaminated? Should I worry? Do you have any general advice for me?

I'm so glad to hear someone finally tell the truth about the construction of the 2238B. I've had mine since new in 1978 (still have the box, packing materials, owner's manual, sales receipt). The right channel went silent decades ago for all inputs. I've paid for repairs two or three times--those repairs last for a while and then the channel goes silent again. Now the Marantz functions only as a switched outlet for a Bluetooth converter for a modern Sherwood receiver. I can't put the Marantz back in the box, though, for sentimental reasons and because it looks so damn cool.

Tom hanks , is that you ???

Great review details on pro and cons

I have never had a problem with mine

This is eye opening and should have a lot more views. Isn’t there a storage box you can buy that is lined such that it eliminates most or all of that discharge?

the best video, to replaced backside belts. All the others have you trying to replace from the inside versus the backside panel, NICE VIDEO!

Hello, I have this but it is broken. pity

Nice job on that baffle!

I'm doing a gut reno on a '56 GA-6 right now. They're pretty shitty amps, construction wise... but yeah all the sockets were on rubber grommets for vibration reduction.
