G,day from Sydney Australia. Old 1960s set. A lot of tubes such as the 12AU7 capacitors, corrosion in the pots. The thermal camera was a help and no J hook soldering of replacement parts. Thankyou 🌏🇦🇺

Dear Glass Linger, Why the coil in crystal sets mostly wound on a large diameter former please ?
@glasslinger23 күн бұрын
The Q of a coil is determined by the Q of the coil. The Q increases as the diameter. This falls off as the diameter increases past about 6 inches due to capacitance between the turns.

@glasslinger Ok, thanks a lot, please.

Hi Ron, Another beautiful result. That transformer really looked like a pain in the arse but I'm amazed that you can buy replacement windings for them. I love there old TRF radios. They really do go back to the beginnings of radio & I wonder how many people realize the impact radio had on society back then. Anyway, thanks for another great video. Cheers

I too wish you would share your homemade tube tester design. I’m particularly interested in how you make a calibrated gm reading meter. Assuming gm is conductance in Siemens, how does one measure the ratio of change output current to change in input voltage? Via inverse ohm meter?
@glasslinger27 күн бұрын
a low ohm plate load resistor (100 ohms) is used to sample the plate current. This can be easily scaled to be directly GM. The plate voltage should be regulated and the grid signal made constant. This is easy using modern OP amps.

I have just started looking at my 1930s set and found the B4 base on one of the tubes is loose. What would you recommend to re-attach it? I have heard that hard glue like epoxy can crack the glass.
@glasslinger28 күн бұрын
At the hardware store there is a glue called "shoe goo." It is a rubber cement that is super tough and sticks to everything. It dries to a rubbery material that keeps its shape but has enough give to where it will not break the glass.

The wiring in this particular radio is wax impregnated cotton. It will last centuries. I have had radios with crumbly wiring though.

60,000 volts at 60 hertz . That is scary . What you are saying makes perfect sense . Two conductors separated by air --- you have a capacitor , and capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to frequency . Also , as you say when the air or whatever gas is ionized the gas becomes way more conductive and you can pull the wires apart and increase the length of the arc .

Don't s'pose you could hang a piece of paper in the arc path, to show some of these young university kids the current really flows could ya' . A couple years back, a few people were saying that the electrons just jiggled in their orbits, and bounced adjacent electrons next to them, setting up a chain. I told them to hang a piece of paper between the electrodes for a second, and count the holes in the paper ... they do more than jiggle🤪
