I’m nominating this for a Grammy.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

It's a shoo-in.@@DashnerGuitars

[@shannonvans]

Oh so good!

[@bluecurlygirl]

Loved it.

[@tashinadodge5630]

Awesome

[@dirk5950]

That ending was great! Nice job on the restoration, as always.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thank you!

[@MaceySnow]

Love how nice the radio tuned out, and the ending was a pleasant surprise! Good job, Dashnürd.😂

[@hasbeengood]

Nicely done, and the end put a smile on my face!

[@acaliaaidras5012]

Best ending of any KZbin video ever made in the history of KZbin.

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks!

[@swimrski]

Totally caught off guard by the ending! I sat stunned until it was over, then laughed. Thanks for that!

[@neilmorten6416]

Happy New Year. Another fabulous restoration. Love the "Dashner Rap" at the end! Thank you

[@jodidavis6595]

Oh my goodness I wasn’t expecting that ending 😂😂 Nice save on the knob. Applesauce is adorable. Well done 👍🏼🇺🇸

[@Laura_Brock]

This video raised the bar for your channel! In addition to another meticulous restoration, I laughed so hard at the closing credits that I woke up the dog. Cheers!

[@kd1841]

I was also laughing so hard, but my 2 dogs, 1 cat surprisingly slept through it. ❤😂😂😂😂

[@furlvr1961]

LOL! Oh my word! Someone's truly coming out of his shell. 🤣 On another note... when I inherited a table-top radio of my dad and mom's made in 1963, I was thrilled. It is a Zenith K731 AM/FM radio that works perfectly and is in excellent condition. Your nicely restored radio reminded me of my Zenith. Nice job Dashnurd Dude!

[@martihurford]

Well done with restoring and incorporating your other interests into the video. Your creativity knows no bounds…so far. 😅

[@jraglob5924]

In 1973 I actually built a Heathkit stereo with the large version of the speakers (2 separate speakers). The wood and speaker grills were identical. Nice work.

[@Flecha57]

I have a soft spot in my heart for vintage radios. It was when things were made right. Not the crap we get now. You didn't mention where you got it. Does it work? Loved the ending. Great job as always. A pleasure to watch. Happy 2024! 🥳🥳🥳

[@mellymel1100]

LOL!!! I'm not a drinker, but taking a drink every time you say the word "finish", it would make a drunk person! Nah, as always it's a good job :D

[@TheCraftyMagnolia]

Nice radio but I love your video production team. They all deserve a raise!

[@edwardgrimes8572]

Clever ending! Nice job! Another trick that works well with those old plastic parts is super glue and baking soda.

[@adriennejames9120]

Another great restoration! LOVE the song!!

[@tallguy2023]

SOOOOO worth the wait till the end! I'm waiting for your guest appearance on Atmosphere's next album.

[@CheySandra]

I was not expecting that ending. Gave me a good laugh this lovely morning 😂

[@tineca407]

If the knob breaks heat up a metal splint using a soldering iron and push it into each part. Love the work you do . From England

[@PuraVetus]

Nice job, always happy to see a new Dashner video. I call myself a Dashnerd and you are very inspirational.

[@coloredcaboosecreations]

Beautiful refinish and banging end beats!

[@sfmedicsmith777]

DJ Dashner in the houuuuuuuuse....Great job as always!

[@alohamom2380]

YESS! Dashnurd and Applesauce! Great compilation, you two!😂

[@donnamcknight3175]

Love it! Happy New Year!

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks. Happy New Year to you, too.

[@mollynakamori]

I have long enjoyed your videos and appreciate your skill level, but never had such a good and big laugh before. Thanks for making my day, DJ Dash.

[@dianah.2684]

You really take pride in your work!!!

[@Restorology]

Nice results and the outro track is banging. 🍻

[@amystewart177]

I love vintage Sears products! Nice work!

[@MaggieKeizai]

Here's a tip on fixing that knob! It's on borrowed time as is and you could end up right back in the same place you started. A better fix (short of a new potentiometer) is to snap that piece back off. Drill a couple of small holes in the stub, and corresponding holes in the nubbin that goes into the shaft of the knob. Use bits of paperclip wire in those holes, and glue it all back. It'll be a lot stronger.

[@annafox7474]

It looks great and the ending was clever!😊

[@naomialaniz373]

Excellent video, thanks 😊❤

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Thanks for watching!

[@aino5130]

The end was fantastic! Hello from Finland. 😊

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Hello!

[@johnfox4691]

Nice restoration.

[@PeteBeardsley]

Bangin' choons innit bruv! 😎 Great resto as ever sir. Thanks for the video. 👍

[@leewood729]

Hope that reaches the Top Ten! Quite dancible...

[@scottmiller9098]

Great work as always. The ending was funny. A Dashner VII Limited Production

[@Traagzaadje]

amazing work and vibe of video making

[@mustafaemrekurban]

Excellent edit😂👏Greetings from Türkiye👋

[@margeryk000]

Great song at the end! And of course the piece looks terrific. Have a great new year.

[@zik316]

Loved the remix at the end. Very catchy!

[@sarahcraig5624]

I am sooooo glad I watched til the end! That was awesome!😂😮😅❤

[@carolbulmer8253]

Brilliant!

[@urwholefamilydied]

amazing job... especially considering it was already in really great shape, most people would have thought it was fine as it was. Looks awesome!

[@DynamicRockers]

You can often fuse plastic together with acetone and the repair is way stronger than with any glue. Also drilling a cavity and inserting a drywall screw in it to pull out a dowel would have been a good method to use on your broken pot shaft stuck in the knob. Congrats for the repair it looks great!

[@ProfessorChaosKitty]

The radio looks amazing, Applesauce is adorable, and the ending was brilliant 😸❤

[@MASI_forging]

Absolutely beautiful restoration ☺☺

[@-TimZambra]

I'm now at that annoying situation where I've watched all your videos. I really enjoy them. For the work, but also because of your comic/stoic presentation.

[@eagl3ye]

Unexpected, freaking awesome ending.

[@kentshrader6616]

I can only begin to express my appreciation for sharing the importance of quality work. Love your videos as always.

[@maryperner9625]

Final rap song had me in stitches. Happy New Year!

[@br6480]

Such a pretty piece.

[@Hopeful_Wanderer]

You have such a great voice!

[@caroltanzi29]

Good video, but the ending was so much fun to see and listen too! Carol

[@dawnaugustyn]

The music at the end was brilliant! Great clean up.

[@noobFab]

That was an awesome little segue at the end... I love it when people move out of their comfort zone and take a risk! I'd love to hear more DASHNÜRD material on future videos :D

[@loismaddux4800]

Absolutely stunning! Love the fixes and the courage it took to try those. I love the ending! Yoo-hoo!! Way to go! You are amazing! We never saw your face forever and now your are rocking it! 😁💕

[@ab3000x]

DASHNÜRD is my favorite musical group! lol

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Mine too.

[@amyhartman8068]

Love the ending! I’ve got a cat just like that.

[@bloggalot4718]

Thanks please keep videos coming, and Happy New Year to you.

[@FluffyTheGryphon]

If the knob doesn't hold, pinning the potentiometer key with a metal pin of some kind may work. Otherwise, you can likely find a replacement pot.

[@ksredsfan]

Awesome job you have a great skill set I am sort of new to channel but enjoying it very much thanks for the upload

[@karenharris2880]

Awesome! Looking forward to Dashnurd's a possible future album release! LOL. Love the kitties!

[@victor16928]

One of my FAVORITE channel subscriptions! Loved the ending 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@boytanoful]

happy new year my friend, thanks for the laugh at the end!

[@urwholefamilydied]

11:43 you should get a spray tent... I think they make them specifically for woodworking in mind, but I think any old tent where the front opens up would work. Throw some sawhorses in there and a sheet of ply for a little working table. My friend has one... he does a lot of finishing work inside a warehouse. (also good to prevent dust particles floating around the room.)

[@teret6719]

Thanks for the laugh and the video!

[@gypsygirltarot2451]

Okay, that ending was priceless!

[@teresabell1014]

Love the ending... hilarious 😊

[@barbm1149]

Cats, walnut, and music! 😃

[@chrisdavis1722]

The piece turned out well, and kudos on the fun outro! 🎉👏🙌

[@user-ud9sl9wf8j]

The song! And the CAT!! ❤❤

[@matthewwatson9362]

Enjoyed the original music! 😂

[@pimpmyfurniture9300]

That ending was fantastic!!

[@xtinealto]

Great restoration! I'm still laughing!!

[@customtailored1]

I like all your restoration projects, but even more those projects that have different functionality like this radio and the guitar. You did a great job, and I would love to see more of this type of content added to the channel.

[@larryk6330]

Some of these retro pieces you work on are VERY cool. I love pieces like old radio, especially if they still work. Always a fun little project. Great job.

[@That70sChannel]

FM in cars wasn't until 1963. 1965 for some. Even by 1965 it was a rarely ordered option because few FM stations existed in most markets. For home use, it might be common earlier, but my hunch is that most people didn't opt for FM for the same reason til mid to late 60s.

[@alanmelgarejo1557]

Great ending!👏👏👏

[@farmerconnie8172]

I love old radios❤️❤️

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Me too.

[@pamsheets632]

Wow, you really rocked this one 😊❤! You and Applesauce are awesome! Love that you saved this vintage radio! It turned out gorgeous! Fantastic video 👏!

[@mcm.walnuter3479]

😂 love the end of your video.

[@joshclark44]

Excellent work as always and I think that dent is probably your best example for your steam trick yet! For the knob though, it looks like the hole in the knob covers a slightly wider shape than the potentiometer shaft in some areas. I would try using a paperclip and either bend a tiny bit at the end at 90 or 180° to make a barb, or if you can't manage to bend a section that's short enough you could just snip it with wire cutters that shear rather than cut. You can stick that into the little hole and try to hook the back or side of the broken plastic shaft and drag it out without breaking the knob. I would just replace the potentiometer though. I know some people would probably argue otherwise because it's an original part, but if it's made of plastic it was going to break anyway and probably will again later, plus you never actually see that part since it's covered by the knob. A bit more work soldering on a new one, but if it were my piece, I'd probably prefer it with a stronger metal shaft. But I'm just the peanut gallery and 10 years rusty at electronics so take what I say with a salt lick sized for moose.

[@debbyclowner]

THE ENDING OMG

[@neilmorten6416]

Happy New Year. Another awesome video. Thank you

[@Barbie4U2]

Ohhhhhh my gosh, that ending was too funny. You gave many, many talents👍🏻 what an incredible guy you are! Lol Happy New Year!

[@gigisielaff]

i hope more people watch this video. one of your best in terms of personality leaks (yes, the radio is the subject matter 😹).

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

I hope more people watch it, too. So far it’s pretty low in view count. Thanks for watching.

[@freomoodfly]

I laughed so loud! we are getting to see the real you!!

[@dianeleirer9878]

Love the creative humor at the end of the video😊.

[@larrynelson3329]

Lol. Great job. Beautiful mcm radio.

[@marchu50]

Happy New year! Nice video.

[@gydaanderson332]

It looks great! As always I love your narrative style.😊

[@kipcarbone1730]

solid gold!

[@bryanherr1093]

Lol the radio sounds great!

[@missamo80]

Best ending ever 😂

[@cmitchell7347]

Happy New Year! Really nice results. You lucked out on all of your little fixes. That model predates the several years I worked at Sears on Lake St. yet it still looks somewhat familiar. At the time, that static-y audio quality seemed good.

[@motortowncuriosites7005]

Nice Jam

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Loved it! Beautiful job on such a tedious project.

[@migsvensurfing6310]

Happy new year. Job well done. The knob could have been drilled out with a small drill and the same with the shaft in the radio. Then tap a thread in both and get a screw wich you cut off the head. Now you can screw the knob on. The advantage is tat it would be much stronger. But it all ended well as I could see. Nice radio.

[@Chef-vg4pu]

Very nice, looks like a keeper to me …..Happy new Year and thanks for the show! PS not sure your song is going to hit the top 10 🤣🤣🤣
