Not very expensive think 85 for after market if made the same way is expensive enough

Thanks i just got a 2008 HHR. N its only been 2 months n my trunk hatch wont open.

Audio too low.

My Hatch switch was Riveted in. was your screws????

More poor design by Chevy. I just replaced mine. Speakers did not last 8 years either.

I love the classics, I've got a old radio that I've been thinking of getting appraised or maybe fixed up, it's a True Tune turn table/radio with wood body.

Excellent

Thanks for a very informative video. I think our hhr may have the same issue.

Speak louder

Thank you!! Hehhe i am a girl and love cars. I wondered if you could take it apart.

Hey when the switch was bad would the interior lights stay on?

Any two prong push button will work in a pinch even a door bell or just cross the connectors for a secound

Hi James, I am going to pick one of these up early on Thursday morning. Can you email me at [email protected] so I can ask questions on how to go about restoring it? Thanks, David

Did you need to remove the whole back panel to get the switch out? I unscrewed the two screws but can’t get the switch out far enough to get to the connection.

Great job. I love this song!

Hey James! Great video! Just bought my son a 2008 HHR for his first car. Couple of things need to be fixed and this is one of them. Before we get started, just wondered if it would be better to take off the entire chrome Chevy emblem since it seems like the loom is too big to fit through the opening. It looks like the plastic piece that holds the latch in place is broken. Let me know what you think and thanks again!

What kind of screws hold the touch pad in place i want to take mine out to replace

I'm fast becoming a fan of Kilgen Organs. I found a 3M/22 that has been a blast to tinker on.

Sounds theatrical

What a treasure! Will have to come visit and hear this in person someday!

Is that a Magnavox speaker?

Very nice job on the rebuild.

A very nice family heirloom.

Mine will go to 3 or 4 before it runs me out of my house! I don't know what it is with those things, but they certainly have a lot of volume. I saw an ad where it mentions that they will provide "enough volume for a nice sized ballroom!" It's hard to believe how good that little 6" speaker sounds on those things. James, I'm really happy to see the old girl up and going. It sure sounds good. A good choice for a record too.

You will need that phonograph reproducer rebuilt, I do that service for 45 bucks + shipping for people. The volume control is Both a transformer coupler & volume control done by step down wire resistors inside. I would recommend the reproducer repair first, The rubber damper/pivot rubber dries hard and does not let the reproducer work right , Feel free too go to my youtube sight and view my video's mike

That back resister should be a 5000 Ohm 50 Watt ceramic type Should always use a shield around the ballast tube so that it does overheat and weaken the tube filament the hole idea there was that the chimney over that tube would cool the amplifier by drawing the heat up through the stack from the hole amplifier help cool the resisters & power supply. though I would give ya some helpful hints mike

Gosh those Radiola 28's are an odd animal for a radio, aren't they? I've gotten San Diego on that one of mine from here in North Iowa! The loop in those for the aerial is quite a contraption as well. Good luck with the old girl. Once you get it up and running you'll be surprised at the amount of volume that little speaker is capable of. I would also get a transformer to drop the voltage down and get rid of that ballast tube. That ballast tube puts out an enormous amount of heat and really gets the whole cabinet quite warm after it's been running for about an hour or so. It will be easier on your tubes as well when you first turn your set on. And thanks for the video! I'm glad to see another one of those things are getting put back together.

Karl At the Kilgen

Nice Job Ed!!

I just picked up one of these, it all works apart from the motor not shutting off and pushing the idler wheel away from the spindle after the arm has returned to the rest...so the platter keeps on spinning, any ideas ? Nice turntable by the way.

oh it looks like the same structure though of the grand ophiclade at boardwalk hall which is the loudest stop in the world.

@manga12 at 6:44 is the austin magnaton

ophiclades? at 6:44 its not that huge of a hall that it needs that kind of volume is it, and I have to say its a clean organ chamber just like a school building unlike all the other chambers I have seen full of dust and just filthy.

@helloitsmelol097 the pipes at 3:00 are the 16' trombone which is part of the trumpet. its a unit rank of 85 pipes from top to bottom

this is true over my dead body would that ever happen here at Holy Cross. I always keep an eye out for those sneaky Electronic organ dealers that cone to churches and tell them how awful there organs are and how there are "un reparable" as a result perfectly good organs get literally thrown into dumpsters. bit it will never happen here as long as I'm here

properly maintained pipe organs are getting harder to find in churches around here, Most have opted for the $1000 Yamaha "computer-chip replica" keyboards... Sad. One church I know of in particular still has the pipes for "the look" but the console is nowhere to be found. (nor is the big sound)

ya Karl can play in many different styles on this organ. i should post a vid of it being played in a classical way it sounds Completly different

@MAMware yes it does. Karl is just playing it in a romantic style with tremolo and vox humana it can sound quite bold as well it has a lovely trumpet has good growl

the sound at this video belongs to the organ shown?

i have a site that explains more about this organ i will forward it to you

What a grand sound and Ed plays it so well. Beautiful. Gary

it is made from a few organs, but it is mostly later wurlitzer parts, and robert morton, but i am not sure as to the vintage of the R-M stuff. it also has a Kimball 16' Tuba which is quite potent

Thanks for sharing this great video Ed plays very well What year is the organ?

Very nice!

Very nice arrangement and excellently played - really enjoyable to listen ! Cheers - Dave

They have a Kilgen 4/16 sitting in disrepair at the Oklahoma History Center. It was moved from the Civic Center after they said organs were passé. I guess they never visited the Bass Performance Hall in Texas. They moved it just a couple years ago to the history center and tried to install it. But now pipes sit around collecting dust as they need another $500,000 to finish the install but are laying off people just to keep the lights on.

Good looking Dual. I've a 1009 as well with a Saba base. Still needs some work though.

It takes practice

That would be great!!! We have one exactly like that, and would like to know who it came from.

yes this one has a wonderful unda maris if you stop the movie at 1:12 the dulciana is the 3rd rank in just in front of the orange concert flute and the celeste is tapered creating the unda maris this is the second rank in next to the clarinet.
