I wish I can operate the bug this kind, may be someday I will.

Nice!

Nice and clear copy! HPE CUAGN in the contests, 73!

Very good! Nice radio! 73!

Wonderfull

🥰🥰🥰

Real radios glow in the dark!

anche io ne ho uno the best!!

What a show! 73 TU

What a show! 73 👍👋👋

Lovely to hear this old gear sounding so good, well done !!

Que delicia, tocayo. Grandioso. 73 de EA4BL.

Thanks for sharing this video. I've just purchased a Gold Dust Twins station, hoping to get it on the air soon. VK6ADA

Fantástica demostración de un receptor extraordinario

Espectacular, en ese estilo, busca cualquiera de la linea Huldra de Tandberg. El Huldra 8-55 es simplemente soberbio. Un poco mas moderno, el Huldra 12 que también tengo. Ambos cubren onda larga, media y corta + FM. En onda corta, de 3 a 30 MHz. Saludos y muy buen canal. Jorge M0LDW(LW5DX)

Wow

4:58 Scouser.. Nice video, thanks.

¡Que bien suena!

Que maravilla de receptor ❤

Beautiful radio, thanks for sharing!

When I was 12 in 62 an Elmer gave me an R1155A and a McMurdo Silver 800 HF receiver. The coils in yellow boxes fascinated me and the Marconi had a magic-eye. In my late teens I put them all at the side of the road and a local ham in Beaconsfield Quebec was fortunate to be passing by.

It is a pretty radio. Sounds great -- plus you tune accurately. Thanks Fernando!

Superb audio🎉

Que maravilla

Impresionante, tocayo. 73 , EA4BL.

Very stronger receiver

VERY impressive!

Dream toy 😺

I borrowed one from Ray G3NOM (now SK sadly) as a child. Got my ham licence a few years later

Hello, I worked on this unit as an electronics apprentice in the late 60's. Bear in mind that I was in a lowly position in the department, but I did work on it and remember it well. Don't quote me too much on this but it was an update of a previous model, and the idea was to make it more up to date rather than a significant improvement in terms of circuit design and specification. In part of the workshop, there was a screened room, which was basically an area about 8 ft by 12 ft made of a fine chicken mesh where test work was done. The guys doing the 'rf' and 'if' work were of the opinion that the receiver could have been better, and one of them thought his homegrown unit had a better performance. Anyway, my task was to look into the screening of the digital display, which was absolutely cutting edge in the late 60s. It was early days in the understanding of the amount of interference created by sharp edges of logic gates and so on. Obviously, it was not an ideal place to have an 'rf' generator embedded in an extremely sensitive receiver!! Metal boxes and extensive decoupling on the supply wires seemed to do the trick. Perhaps you can tell me if it was a problem when they were sold and used in real situations. Raymond Peto

Allá, por los años 60 cuando era un niño, me acuerdo ver varios de estos receptores modificados para uso civil. Le habían minimizado los mandos del panel y habían dejado solo el central y el dial, incorporándole un altavoz. El barbero de mi barrio y el padre de un amigo los tenían.

You certainly are the radio king (LOL). Nice equipment. My receiver days went from a BC-348N, S85, SX-101A, Drake R8, HQ-215, and now the Icom R9500. I miss my HQ-215, was a great shortwave receiver. Had lots of crystals for SW bands and all the mechanical filters. Again, a long time ago. Always enjoy your videos - keep up the great work and be well. Rich, W2FKN

I used to have a BC-348N I got from a cousin that was brand new and wired for ac. Absolutely loved it. First radio as a novice ham back in Boston in 1956. Just had a dipole antenna, but reception was excellent. That was a long time ago. Now have an Icom R9500 and live in New Jersey. Thanks for the video - W2FKN

Hello, what kind of antenna is feeding the receiver at this time ?

Excellent Receiver Mate, works like a charm, Stable, Accurate, and hears a Pin Drop. I have a couple here in Australia, one I have restored also. Cheers Mike 73 de VK4QS

Que bueno Fernando!!!!!👌

I found an empty cabinet for this radio. I will try to find a valve radio project that I can adapt to it, because I find this model so beautiful with the Philips logo on the speaker grille. Too bad the original chassis was missing.

For a thousand+ bucks, it hought it would be more effective. That's really disappointing.

Hast du nicht viel hihe spannung auf das Gerät gegeben? Du bist ja ziemlich weit aus dem Roten berreich raus

Que maravilla de receptor!!!❤❤❤

Hi Fernando echoing Chuck’s comment - just confirming your radio has a channel click VFO? My 500 has a standard VFO with tuning increments down to 10Hz Could the selector knob need a shot of contact spray?

Absolutely stunning!

Rectify, would you recommend me the EK896 too or with the EKD511 is more than enough?

Nice receiver with godd audio and an amazing digital display. 73 de F5CIW

Why stack the gear like that? There will be excessive heat transfer from the transmitter to the receiver. Capacitor life will suffer. Believe me, don’t stack vacuum tube radio units like that. Set them side-by-side, separated a bit. Allow full ventilation space above. -Thomas (Advanced-Class Amateur Radio License, 35-year designer of vacuum tube equipment)

Perhaps RF Gain is overdriving the AGC? Sounds like it settles down after 3 seconds or so.🤷‍♂️

Hola, como saber si ésta fabricado en España?

What kind of antenna did you use?

Nice Video.... 1st time I watched the "A" line receiver and transmitter together...... I recently purchased a 75A-4 from a son of a SK for little $$......cleaned her up, put in a few tubes and she sounds great as a receiver...... Thanks again Fernando...
