Remove the grilll. Sandwich it between two sheets of clear overlay sheets and place on a flat surface. Take a large spoon with the bowl facing downward and rub the grill with the spoon while applying moderate pressure. Pay particular attention to the dents. This will flatten the grill and make it look factory.

You start the video with an interesting question... if it's worth the time wasted to watch the entire video. The answer is yes. You see, the people with whom I shared long talks and experiments with radio oscillators and transmitters in the 70's have died. I don't know how old you are, but every time I watch the videos, not only is it entertaining because of your jokes and sarcasm that really help to have a good reference with reality, but they contain a lot of electronic experience in the precise language that I was used to. listen, for example, to the name of the components by their function, "coupling capacitor" filter capacitor" and there are thousands of these examples. Well yes. It is worth it. I thank you very much for your willingness to share your knowledge although in practice Do not proceed in the same way when repairing a radio. It is not because I am a purist, but because I recognize that I do not have that much experience,... an experience that reminds me of my friends who are no longer here. Thank you Shango! greetings from Alicante, España !

Definitely a restore worthy radio. Quality in the design detail such as the RF amp isolation transformer and intermediate AF transformer with direct coupled output. I was amazed all those plasric coated caps were still working enough to let the radio function. The sort of radio I would love to have hanging around the house playing background music while I'm doing whatever.

That's so true about Toshiba being a big player over the decades. They were a heavy influence in making components. I was recently involved in troubleshooting a TosLink problem. It's stands for 'Toshiba Link', and it's the standard for fiber optic interfacing audio between modern TVs, VCRs, Home Theater systems, Amps etc. Along with creating the standard they produced the transmit and receive converters between TosLink, and SPDIFF. Their converters (TOTX173, TORX173 older versions) can be found in a lot of entertainment systems.

When I was a kid, radios like this one were 'dream' radios, that only the adults had; because of the cost, they'd never trusted us with one like this. I finally I was given a GE 'Great-Eight' Model: P915E in 1963 for my 7th birthday. I wore out the leatherette case's bail on the handlebars of my bicycle! And, as I was told it wasn't cheap; and you knew if you lost or broke it, you'd never get another! So, it is understandable that with the quality we see, that these radios were so expensive even in the day... Thanks for posting & 73!

Another great video..I wanted to thank you for having such great educational videos..I've been watching for a very long time. I wanted to share this short story with you. When I was a little boy my Grandfather's attic was someplace I would sneak off too and he had a big old metal Rca in his attic that he traded some farm equipment for back in the 50s when they had a farm. No one along the area could afford one and my grandfather would invite friends over to watch it. I was fascinated by it and asked for it.Nobody in my family wanted it so he gave it to me and I put it up lugged it around for a long time then started watching you. I was able to restore it.When he got older toward the end of his life I finished it and called my grandparents over and my Parents with a sheet over it and a vcr hooked up we all gathered around it and watched MA and PA kettle. My dad who's in his 80s now sat down in the floor to watch and commented I haven't sat and watched this since I was 7 . My grandfather was nearly moved to tears to see the set play again.Hes gone now and the set still sits in my living room and I turn it on from time to time.Everyone in my family takes a fit over it . I thought I would share this story so you know the impact your videos have on many people who want to preserve the entertainment heritage from decades ago..Thank you .

DX Trip to the desert! Nothing like a wide band AM receiver. In 1965 I used to have a rocket radio crystal receiver hooked to a realistic tube tape recorder. WBZ out of Boston was top 40 at the time. It had near FM quality sound. You could actually hear the birdies of adjacent signals. Great Toshiba radio!

One of the favorite radios that I have is a mid 70's General Electric AM/FM transistor radio. The performance is outstanding. On FM, I can hear stuff being broadcast from central Wisconsin, and that's all the way from Isanti County Minnesota! AM is even better, I can hear that border blaster on on the border of US and Mexico! If I go on trips, that's the radio I bring.

Toshiba was a prolific manufacturer of transistor radios back in that day. I immediately throught of the TR-193 "Lace" pocket radio they produced around 1958-1959. Those are very rare, very expensive if found ($250+) and usually not working. Their other late 50's pocket radios are also pricey, but not nearly as much. Early 60's and on pocket radios are more available and affordable - but not as cool looking.

Cool radio. I watched the whole video to the end and enjoyed it. I learned that it's OK if you don't replace the caps when the radio works fine. This made me feel happy inside because I have been losing sleep over a 1959 GE portable transistor radio I recently acquired that works REALLY well with all the original parts and I could not see why I should replace any. (It's a very sensitive, good performer too). Leaving those new looking but very old caps has caused me some anxiety issues however, so I hope I will finally sleep better after watching this video.

@@kti5682 When the bad cap is in the audio path you will definitely mis some volume, mostly in the form of bass. When it is a filter cap in the power feed, it is often to stabilize a power point, and a bad cap there could cause slow oscillation ("motorboating"), or sometimes a bit faster.

I was looking forward to this today. Spent all day moving boxes to our new house, so I nodded off. I had to spin back & see what was done, and - nothing! It's amazing to see little change in the electrolytic capacitors and even the IF alignment was spot on. I have a Toshiba Checkerboard and similarly little needed to be done to it. In it's case it did have the bad gray plastic capacitors. Toshiba made some very nice radios and they retailed in the U.S.A. in these little presentation boxes - cardboard, but very detailed, the lid tilting up and stopped by a little ribbon. Almost the way quality watches were sold in a little presentation box.

I thought that audio drive circuit looked familiar, (the split in the battery supply gave it away) the GE P925 (TSM-32) uses that same double secondary transformer driving a transistor pair with direct output to the speaker. When I had one of these (as an 11yr old) I changed the speaker to a low impedance regular and shortly after the audio failed. Took until having a replacement (2015) to see in the schematic what I had done. Childhood is for learning. Oh and since you didn't ask I DO enjoy these these repair / disassembly and sarcasm feasts. I've recently added a TinySA to my toolset and plan a SMD remediation procedure on a vacuum tube ZTO. Keep it going sir.

A lot of their stuff was under priced so they could dump it on the US market and undercut domestic manufacturers. We definitely saw again with televisions in the 1970s.

These on-off switches are a pain sometimes, the current goes through a few surface contacts. Two of them are from the steel spring, and (as this one) it oxidises. I repaired some bad switches by soldering a small braided wire from the soldered terminal of the switch, over the spring, to the movable part of the switch. It takes care of both oxidised spring contacts that way.

What an awesome transistor radio! For the antenna - just wrap electrical tape around it until it's wide enough to fit in the hole snugly.

All the toshiba products I have used were really well made. I know they had a few models of laptop that were a little cheap and didn't hold up well.

It helps if the product's manufacturer also makes components in it. This was part of the success of Japanese TV makers versus UK ones. In most cases, the setmaker was part of a bigger firm which also made parts. At the design stage, teams from both departments would work together to arrive at the best overall result. This resulted in superior performance and reliability. In UK firms, a TV design would be set out pretty much in isolation; then the various component makers would be invited to submit their bids to supply parts. The responsibility for good component design fell on them, and they weren't always the best for the task! 'Lowest bid please' also had its effect.

Ive seen those loops on germanium rectifiers mounted on a solid PCB so I dont think it's there to relieve mechanical stress. The perfect thing to clean switch contacts I've found to be the emery cloth on dish sponges. It cleans the corrosion quickly, polishes the contacts, and doesn't scratch them. much better than sandpaper, although it disintegrates rather quickly.

To improve reception in the MW range, I did this 60 years ago with great results. Connect a wire to the RAIN ROOF RAILS from the house then 3 turns to the ferrite antenna and connect the other end of the wire to a tap or ground then you have 100 new transmitters. the electrolyt capacitor you mast chance. ​The electrolyte capacitor must be replaced.

The old Toshiba radios aren't extremely rare but they are very popular with collectors because of their quality and some really beautiful designs. They are a premium radio. I have a few of them in my display case. They also made some radios for JC Penney, Linmark, and Realistic, among others. If there is a serial number label present in one of the older ones you can tell when it was made. First three digits of the S/N tells it. 905 means May of 1959. 008 is August 1960, 204 is April 1962, and so on.
