I enjoyed your video keep it up

Awesome tutorial. Just cleaned a nasty moldy dial face on a phone I recently acquired. Thanks much!

Thank you! I just did mine from 1971

Whats with the moronic music. It's supposed to be an information video, so having your voice drowned out by a stupid piano doesn't help. Your piano needs a silence period.

Could you possibly post links to the bottom cb and the brackets and antenna? That's exactly where I would put mine!

Great to see a demonstrator making use of a pointer big step up from a big hand all over the object and the camera with a mind of its own the piano demo has no place here

What if it won't pop it off?

Wow!! Awesome information! In my case the phone works, but I can’t call anyone. It seems like in mine the rotation is slower. What do I do?

Looks nice man

Thank you!!!!

Wow. Thanks so much. I'm an old telephone repairman, retired after 42 years. But I guess I'm not "old" enough. These phones were before my time. I snagged an old 550 5 line office phone early in my career destined for a dumpster. An old timer rewired it for modular service for me and I've had it for years. Mainly as a conversation piece. I've had it for decades and the dust under the dial graveled my ass. And I never could figure out how to remove the dial. The old guys I knew that had that knowledge have either passed on or have forgotten. Thanks for the video. 10 minutes and my phone looks presentable again! (Just subscribed BTW!)

Thanks for this video. Couldn't believe this was on KZbin, good job!

I have both in grey but need a manual for the electronic keyer K0KNL

I’ve seen several of these removal videos now. This one showed such great promise because this is the first one which had the demonstration without the card in the way. I thought, finally, someone’s going to show exactly what you need to press down on by showing a very clear close up of the metal part being pressed to release the plastic dial. But alas. No close up whatsoever. People cannot see (at least on their phones where the vast majority of people watch KZbin) what is being done any better than if the card was in the way to block the view of what is being done. Would love to see you zoom in very close either during the removal (through the transparent plastic), or zoom in very close right after removal and reenact pressing down on the metal part to show exactly how it works. Surely, this would help many people who actually own tools figure out a better tool to use than a safety pin or paper clip. I’m in the process of buying a high quality cinema camera to start making videos for KZbin. But, I have way too many needed videos ahead of a dial removal demonstration to make the needed demonstration this year. If you can, please do a re-shoot based upon the feedback. Always include demonstrations with adequate close ups showing people like they’re five (years old), always try to suggest better, more effective tools for the job (perhaps in addition to the makeshift tool that may be needed in a pinch), and then always explain things at least once, even if very quickly, like we’re five. You can always explain it and show it in a more advanced way also, but don’t forget to also at least quickly cover it in very basic, easy terms. If you make your videos this way, even if the very basic demonstration or explanation is very fast (without you taking too much time or lingering on it-because people can rewind), you will have the world’s best “how to” videos. Here’s wishing you all the best. I think you have the makings of a great KZbinr. Your video was still the best one of all those I watched on the topic. I’m going to go home and watch your video on a bigger screen to see if I can determine what is being done. My fully restored rotary phone was relatively expensive and in a rare, hard-to-find color. But, it appears the clear plastic dial may have shifted or been pressed down unevenly during shipping and is not rotating smoothly on the initial turn from the 7, 8, 9, and 0 holes around toward the metal stop/catch. I want to remove the clear plastic dial itself to examine it better, but I’m still reluctant to start haphazardly jamming sharp objects into the hole given that there could be a misalignment already and that a pin could scratch up the underlying plastic for all I know (even if the area which may potentially get scratched will be covered up).

Most if not all the facts in the video were used in test questions for the GROL license.

I just found one used for $15. Great looking key and nice and heavy. Need to replace the cord and I’ll be good to go.

Thanks for posting these directions. I followed what you said exactly, and EUREKA it worked !!!

Looks like my phone but mine has a metal finger plate and no little hole... Any recommendations?

Here is how I made a clock like the one in this video 73 de VK2AOE kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJDWdKKcm56meNksi=L022UMo_or_zZ2Vv

I thinking about getting into HAM and was thinking about doing something similar to your setup. I was wondering why you didn't go with a metal case for Faraday cage protection?

Nice install sir, waving from tech bench. 73👋🏻

Cool

Why didn't you paint the box brown!? 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

Thank you for this video. My curiosity demands I ask a few questions: were the legs 10 meters each? What SWR did you have? Was the Balun a 1:1? Was there a need to trim the legs to get better resonance? Respectfully, fm

Is that really a model 500? It looks like it has two lines based on the white line switch bottom left?

Teaching Hams to make their own antennas is an unwasted video (congratulations!). I hear so many Hams complain about how dipoles, beams, quads, yagis cost when they buy them commercially. They think they cannot build them themselves and be just as usable and efficient. WRONG. An antenna can be built out of scrap wire or extruded aluminum pipe and be just as efficient as the commercial stuff while saving so much money and time. Knowing how an antenna works is valuable knowledge, and building them yourself teaches you so much. I bought ONE antenna "off the shelf" back in the 70's - a TA36 Mosley, even then it was $400 with the 40M add on kit. Since then I've built every antenna I have used on the air and saved bundles! I thank you for teaching everybody how to build antennas. 73 de W4FJF.

Mannnnnnn stop it

How much did all this cost? Getting into the hobby

I keep hitting a roadblock with my cb. When I key it up, an engine code pops up stating “Service Electronic Throttle Control”. Initially I was tied directly to the battery. Code popped up, spliced directly into the 12 volt plug- code popped up. Does it whenever I key the mic. Starting to get a bit bothered. Truck is an ‘18 Ram 1500 Big Horn. Any ideas to maybe help?

I learned something new today, Greg cuz of you. Thanks. Great video! 73 de K0WHW Bill

Nice information! Iam myself RTIM holder.

Uniden CB's are sh_t. Their screens wash out in sunlight, and don't last long. I recommend e President or Cobra or similar classic with the LED channel display

A great video Greg. My Dad was a radio officer during WW2 and he would always check the time of each clock in the house.

Well done!! 😂

Some useful information there mate. thank you!

I'm marconist on the ship....

It doesn't work for me. I can put the pin in and hear it click but can't turn it to remove it. Tried it five times.

thank you

Damn YT didn't notify me you were live.

Norm! Doing the thing!

Wow nice xyl

Turn the music down!

XYM talks

did you put one your front yard.?

My wife would find it. Great job.

Please kill the distracting, annoying, foreground music. The narration is otherwise excellent I used to have several friends that had been maritime radio ops, at least two of them are gone

Great video. Yes. I suck.

This deeply pleases the 3 Old Tech Dudes. That's what she said.
