Field Coil Rewind for Don's Columbus model 90 Radio.

[@mackfisher4487]

Dave, if you're not careful you're going to receive rewind requests from the entire restoration community. Your wife's gift is impressive if I were in your shoes I do the dishes once in a while as a Thank You. Great video

[@DavidTipton101]

I know Mack, I need to keep a low profile 😕 She is a good egg Mack, hopefully I can cut back to doing the dishes only once in a while 🙂

Hello Sir, Great job of rewinding of field coil. It is a complicated work, but you made it in very professional way and as it looks like original. Thank You.

[@DavidTipton101]

Thank you Antique_Guru 🙂

[@bharathba4762]

@@DavidTipton101 Welcome Sir

[@SuperFredAZ]

Nice work, very clean. Most people don't understand if a radio uses a field winding, you can't replace with pm speaker unless you put a choke where the field winding was.

[@DavidTipton101]

Yes, a choke or a resistor will do it. Thanks Fred 👍🙂

[@Buzz1151]

hi David....that field coil re-wind was a perfect job for the World Famous Buzz Winder! 🍺🍺

[@DavidTipton101]

Hi Buzz... I know... but L'll have to settle with my winder, I hope to upgrade to a Buzz Winder™ one day but things are tight at the moment, it will have to wait 😢🍻

[@eddyaudio]

David you are know as the expert rewindinder A lot different when I worked at Motor Rewinding Firm as a School boy they didn’t have equipment like you have,Don would be very pleased with your refurbished of the Field Coil top work David,Ian,

[@DavidTipton101]

Thanks Ian, Don was very happy to have his coil back and working 🙂

[@brianwood5220]

Nice work, Dave. Your getting good at these coil windings. Thanks for sharing.

[@DavidTipton101]

Thanks Brian. I hope so, there is still room for improvement 👍🙂

[@iantyler4045]

You are the official coil whisperer. I watched Don's 1st episode of that radio and figured he would be sending that field coil to you. It's great to see fellow radio restorers helping each other out. Another great video as usual.

[@DavidTipton101]

Thanks Ian. Don's a great bloke, I have no hesitation helping him as he has for me in the past 🙂

[@hestheMaster]

What a pro you are doing this job for a friend like Don. Just two amazing guys on a great collab.

Another great video thanks Dave. I watched Dons video yesterday morning and i was wrapped when he said you'd helped him out! What a great community of enthusiasts. I love your channel and listen to your videos as podcasts, throughout my day at work! Thats why sometimes i leave groups of "likes" as i cant keep pulling my phone out at work hitting like every 45mins. Again, i absolutely love your channel, it is up there with the best of them and thats a big call! Cheers Dave, Darren VK7daz!

[@DavidTipton101]

Thanks Darren. A podcast series, who'd a thunk that! I listen to Graham the Radiocruncher in the background while I work and flip over to see what he's talking about for time to time. His live stream goes for about 4 hours so a good way to keep up 👍🙂

[@gerardcarson2779]

Precise work, well done with that great gizmo you use. And nice seeing the co-operation between yourself and Don going on over there. 😄

[@DavidTipton101]

Thank you Gerard 🙂

[@raymondmenard5444]

Just finished both videos and it was so pleasing to see this collaboration on YT within our radio community, it was great team work for sure. 2 thumbs up for both of you. Seeing the re-winding go so smoothly was immensely satisfying so was the moment Don got sound from his bench speaker. I'm happy for both of you and never had any doubts you could pull this off Dave. Thank's for sharing. I'm off to re-string a Marantz receiver now and i'll try to shoot some footage to help others sometimes struggling with this part. Have a great day mate.

[@DavidTipton101]

Hello Raymond, thank you. There is quite a bit of collaboration between creators and the subscribers, it's very pleasing to be a part of it. Good luck with your restring 👍🙂

[@Leo6009]

Nice one Dave! It worked well enough. I remember we emailed a bit at the time you had my Loewe Opta Meteor power transformer to rewind and you went the whole hog in buying this winding equipment. I hope you get some more interesting jobs to complete with the winder. Thanks for sharing! Cheers! Peter😊

[@DavidTipton101]

Hello Peter, thank you. The winder has been worth the money, even if only for convenience sake 👍🙂

[@ChrisSwenson]

Boy Dave, do you get around! I was checking out an old 50's tv series on YT, and one of the right side of the screen video choices had a '46 Packard radio restoration. I've never really checked out car radio repairs before, but after checking out the history of the Packard brothers and the "Quality" of their work, I thought I'd check this one out. You already know where I'm going with this... Another David Tipton fan. Another person who's humble enough to learn from your efforts. I thought that was too cool. But then to see the comments and finds you had left one hour ago ( ! ? ) I shared with my wife, and said "what are the chances?" Just wanted to let you know. Also, like him, I'm looking forward to your AA5 restoration! Take care Dave! -Chris

[@DavidTipton101]

Hi Chris, I was blown away by that Packard car radio Vern restored. It fitted seamlessly behind the dash. Any early car radios I had anything to do with had bowden cables and a big unit above the passengers feet. As usual he did a great job restoring it. I was surprised when Vern started rolling over the vibrator lip in the vice... Haha... he gave me credit as he did it which was marvellous to see. I am in contact with a number of fellow KZbin radio restorers and we are able to help each other out and I think I can see a shift in KZbin channels as we learn from each other. My next adventure is a radio sent to me by Buzz1151 in the US, it's not an AA5, it's an AC/battery set. Thanks Chris 👍🙂

[@ChrisSwenson]

@@DavidTipton101 That will be great! BTW..I spent Friday's day off work with 2 high school rock band mates at the "Back to the 50's" car show at the Minnesota state fairgrounds. It's possibly the largest old car show on earth. (Great Fun!) Anyway, I had a chance to share with Mick, our drummer about you, your channel, and how much I've learned over the last few years watching. His dad was a radio, stereo and tv repairman. He had tons of tubes, parts and knowledge. Mick said his dad shocked him one time when Mick was trying to fix an old radio. His dad came in, watched and then told him to flip the set over and told him the exact part to replace. He did, and he was blown away by his Dad's knowledge. Mick inherited all his dad's neat "stuff"! I never fail to pass on info like your channel when I'm sharing. I'm hoping Mick checks out your channel. Take Care David! -Chris

[@josephmagedanz4070]

Getting your coil winder set up to keep the wire smooth and flat reminds me of getting my Webster-Chicago wire recorder properly adjusted to wind the wire smoothly onto the takeup spool and have it lie flat without tangling. And then after having listened to whatever had been recorded on the wire, I have to wind the wire back onto the supply spool without breaking or tangling it...always a bit nerve-wracking. Here you don't have to worry about transferring it back and forth between spools. Nice repair!

[@DavidTipton101]

Thanks Joseph. I don't have a wire recorder but my friend does and he explained the difficulty involved to keep it all aligned. They work amazingly well though, I was surprised 🙂

[@Theoobovril]

Always interesting to watch coil winding, David. For some radios so it is an integral part of the radios repair. Many old radio sets get scraped because the repairer is unable to rewind a burnt-out IF coil, transformer or speaker coil. As you show, David, with a bit of patience, all can learn to repair/rewind coils.

[@DavidTipton101]

Absolutely Theo, I was having this problem all the time so I needed to work out how to rewind coils. It has worked out so far 🙂

[@geirendre]

G'day Dave, another fine video, with your usual humour, much appreciated our end and hope you're all staying safe👍👍👍👍👍 Never get involved with cb radio, the blokes on there are the biggest bunch of ............ that there has ever been. Cb was meant as a form of "friendly communication". Friendly communication my a..e. My other half got told to f..k off. "You're no mate of mine, not talking to you so f..k off!" He has taken his cb rig down, plus aerial and put it into the loft, crawl space. Not on, not bloody on at all. He's NEVER offended anyone over cb either.

14,000 turns, 1,400 ohms, so multiply or divide to get one or the other, so would that work as a rough guestimate for most field coils?

[@DavidTipton101]

Thanks Dan, yeah, it might give a ball park. If the wire is right it would be close 🙂

[@jeffreyhickman3871]

I missed commenting on this one. This looks kind of like 👍 one of Shango066's radios (by style). Be wary 😟, in case this radio 📻 has dual dial cords. I hope 🙏 it has a dial cord restringing diagram inside the cabinet. I even see that you're using your wire winder here. Hopefully your speaker 🔊 cone is okay. By the video 📹, I think the speaker is field coil. Your friend, Jeff.

Where did the machine come from? Aliexpress?

[@DavidTipton101]

Yes, I think it was 🙂

[@glasslinger]

After you get more experience you will realize the number of turns and DC resistance is ridiculously inconsequential. You can simply use wire close to the same size and fill the form with wire. It will work fine without all the hassle. The number of turns and resistance will be easily close enough to what the original was to work fine.

[@DavidTipton101]

Hello glasslinger. Yes, thank you, I am being too anal with this and you are right. I will still measure and calculate things out because that's in my nature but I won't worry as much with the result. Thanks for your help 🙂
