But they're "GOOD ALL" , can't be bad! Merry Christmas

Can't wait to see the Cobbler vs WaxBot

I see Captain Wax Cap has made an appearance to the shop.

Hail Waxbot!

Thanks Terry. That is the 3-in-1 V2 board to replace the standard flange mounted 1" twist tab capacitors. The 3-in-1 V3 was designed to replace the chassis slotted 1" multi-section capacitor. No need to punch out the hole. The turrets fit inside. There are 5 board designs to fit the various 1" and 1 3/8" twist tab caps. Will get some down over to Terry.

I'm a musician and not the least bit inertrested in becoming a ham radio operator but I find the equipment, components and point to point design fascinating. Your diagnostic and repair techniques are amazing. Great job, great videos.

Gives new meaning to the term "Boomer"! 😆 Merry Christmas, Terry.

Funny, and clever! Don't want those in my old radio or TV!

I have used these in a couple of receivers I recapped; they are relatively easy to use and are a great alternative.

Merry christmas. Happy new year

Actually I would cut the can open near the base so I could access terminals and clean out the upper part. But sometimes there is leakage between the terminals even with the guts removed which requires alot of cleaning to eliminate. I have used aluminium speed tape to close cans after restuffing. But if it has the cardboard cover that will conceal all the work when put back on.

Beware that in the old days lazy guys would just solder new caps onto the old ones. IF the old caps had dried up and were not shorting, it probably worked. But it is bad practice and you should watch out for that. Although if the guts were removed from the can it would probably not matter.

I have gutted cans and restuffed them by using the original terminals on the bottom. Opened the can with a tubing cutter or saw. Gutted the old gunk out and cleaned inside. I drilled holes in the fibre base and ran the new cap leads through those and soldered at the base of the old terminals. You can wire the negatives together inside the can for one lead coming out. IF the can is the common negative it is more work though. But in my Drake standalone power supply I just ditched the cans and made a circuit board to mount the new caps onto. It does not have to look original inside but be practical.

an additional benefit of this adapter is not only cost. With the adapter a person can now use 105C rated caps from modern production techniques. Merry Christmas.

Scott developed this special capacitor board kit for replacing can type e-caps. It would be tricky with some metal grindings if you don't have the 1 1/8" Greenlee chassis punch to enlarge the hole. So just beware of that. You could use a shot glass and using hot glue and glue it to the undersides and grind the edges of the hole away from the top. Tell us how that goes if you want to try that!

Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas & Happy New Yera.

In some cases you can open the old capacitor, remove the internals and put something like this inside. I personally have different experiences. Sometimes the insides are all caked in.

Yesss great radio epoch time

Start stocking up on (imported) tubes guys, I got a feeling something spicy is coming.

What a beautiful piece of equipment nice job restoring the VCO

Nice job Terry, and a nice radio as well! 73's, merry Xmas and a happy and healthy new year, Rein PA4URK

Man Sollte solch schöne Radios nicht mehr SO REPARIEREN 😡😡😡😡😡Die alten Kondensatoren drin lassen und nur Einseitig Still Legen oder neu Befüllen. dann Bleibt das Radio noch einigermassen im Original zustand.

That's why I keep a big magnet in my shop!

🥵🥵🥵🥵😡😡😡Das sollte man so nicht mehr Machen,!!!!! Das Radio Verliert Später mal seinen Sammel Wert. 😡😡😡 Man sollte die alten Kondensatoren drin Lassen oder sie neu Befüllen oder einseitig still legen, und darüber einen neuen Montieren.

Even if all the caps were dead old radios are made to repair

use supper lube that grease is not as good long turn i have to heat it up on reel to reels ,,not fun

Do you ever put any of your radios online for sale? I like to have an older radio like that.

Reminds me of an older movie - "I want to take ...his face off!"

The vernier needs a lubricant with a little more viscosity...That'll take the play out of it....

WoW ! good thing you found all those ball bearings! Looks like a great receiver!

That is very cool! I'd love to build something similar for my son as well. Merry Christmas Terry! 73!

Could do without the dumb s hit.

Nicely done. I’d like this on my Marshall DSL100H. I use a JHS Little black box to accomplish the same thing. I also want to move the Pentode/Triode switch from the back to the front replacing my Standby m/On switch. My local tech says I can’t. I can’t see why, the back is a switch, tge front is a switch. The front switch on the HR Model is a 3 way, low/standby/high. Just switch differences. I ordered their Marshall 3 way used on the newest DSL HR heads. Anyone else try this? Subscribed!! Nice video

Definitely reverse engineer this! Thanks!

Hi Bruce! You have encouraged me to keeep my Halicrafters S 40a radio 📻 it's in mint condition. From down under New Zealand 🇳🇿 😍 ❤️

I have an RME4350A, needed a lot of similar work... but when cleaned up and working, they are great RXs! Keep them alive!

This reminds me of the Audio Modulated Light Light Organ I built 50 years ago.

Pretty cool! You could build novelty items in your spare time LOL :)

Perfect family heirloom! 73 OM

You really are a Wizard! Merry Christmas!!

Should have put a mercury rectifier inside.

way cool for sure!! KC8ARO

Nice Terry, thanks for keeping the great old boat anchors working.

I love your videos.I'm looking for your info on altering the vintage tube radio to handle today's 125 volt service. My radio label shows 110/125volts. Does that mean I don't have to alter this set. (It's a Northern Electric 5000 AM radio ~ c.1946). Thanks man. I appreciate your time for a little advice.

I noticed the lost in space chariot, and the invaders spaceship.

run it into a 12” speaker and it’s an entirely different amp

Well done Terry!

Merry Christmas Terry!
