This is great! I really enjoy watching people like you keeping these old vintage radios going. No one would ever think of restoring today’s cheap radios seventy years from now! Good job!

Thanks for the video.....the wife is out at some auction and is bringing home some Philco desktop radio she bid on......

Radio Rescue you are good at restoring vintage shortwave receivers and alignment of vintage shortwave receivers 🎉🎉😊

It’s much nicer watching you do the repairs than ME doing the repairs as they can be a real pain in the butt (in my opinion) so thanks for YOU doing all the work and sharing it with us.

Yep I save all those swearing moments for off camera. LOL!😆😆

[@TysonHugie]

Pretty satisfying to watch a resto like this... even though this one was already pretty decent to begin with! Keep up the great work.

Nice Job, it sounds great now. Hope you feel better soon.

Finding bad solder connections when new parts were added always means a pencil soldering iron of insufficent wattage was used. You have the right soldering iron that should be used especially when soldering to the chassis. Those old BED resistors should be checked against the schematic AND a meter for accurancy of replacement. Great work redoing some of the problems associated with this particular model.

It was great to see you back in your little shop again. Nice job on that old Philco, I'm sure your customer will be very happy.

[@THOMMGB]

I appreciate all the good information you shared with us. I’ve got one of those radios and plan to review your video before I start on mine.

Very nice work. Really good and clear ideas for people who want to learn this hobby. Hope you'll have a Merry Christmas and New Years.

[@45AMT]

[@richardhines]

Bummer concerning the military tube tester. Hope you can find something simple going on inside.

Radio Resue the owner vintage philco 37-610 tube AM Sw two Band receiver from 1937 is awesome 👌 👏 👍 😊😊😊

[@edmccormick8024]

Do you have a detector coil for a hallicrafters s-40 Thank you in advance take care keep the videos coming

[@nathant97]

I just bought one of these exact radios, got it all cleaned up, all the tubes all fire well, but I couldn't get any sound from any channel, you have any ideas? All original resistors and caps so it might be that... Also looked messed with back in the day with a single wire running out of the back from what looks like the short wave selector. It's a beautiful radio so I couldn't pass it up. If it can be fixed It'd get a far happier life in my collection of English Shortwaves

[@45AMT]

If its got original caps and resistors. Could be a shorted or leaky cap (s) or open resistor (s). Could be lots of things really.

[@Greg-et2dp]

RADIO Rescue my hobbies are painting pictures and listening to shortwave and ssb I have 5 shortwave receivers and iam thinking about getting my ham license 🎉🎉😊
