I do not recall commenting to this video. I’m sure many 👨 of them contain Old64Goat’s name in them, but we’re NEVER👎 short a GREAT 😊 radio 📻. RCA was much better product, then, than it is now. This must be an RVA Sparton. The speaker 🔊 appears to be permanent magnet 🧲. The circuitry was 🔝 notch. Vacuum tubes were available at your local grocery, or hardware store 🏬. These radios 📻 were made to be serviced. Speaking of vacuum tubes, these were one ☝️ user-serviceable component. If not, they probably were available factory 🏭 direct. Please 🙏 keep 🆙 with the GREAT 👍 videos. This radio 📻, and comment, is worth a couple of beers 🍻. Your friend, Jeff.

Buzz, Thanks for showing a solid state repair. I don't know very much about transistor radio servicing. I would think those old dried up capacitors would've needed replacement, but that's about it. I'm glad those old transistors are still working. :-) I hope you're staying safe with all the nonsense going on in the streets near you. Be safe, Tom

Hackbar "postage stamps" on the package are very disturbing.👹 Thought Bill said he took a 100uF electrolytic cap out and didn't replace it. It works anyhow?🐐 Well for a while. More bad capacitors to confound you. A little work on the case and wa-la , another one saved from Bill's junk pile. 📻 Good work there Buzz. 👍🏻👍🏻

Usually these 60's Japanese sets just need a recap to get them going. Occasionally you'll find a bad transistor but they are surprisingly reliable for the most part. Was that a brass gear I saw on the back of the tuning wheel? Now there;s something you won't be seeing again any time soon. Thanks for the Friday look see as always. Stay well. ATB Doug.

Why do American and UK/Europe radios of this age sound so much better than those that were imported, was it all down to cost? Big corps must have made a fortune back then with their mark up on own brand imports.
