ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT COLLECTION

This is a large collection of antique electronic instruments acquired over the years. Most are from pre-1945, with a few somewhat later.

When you measure an instrument collection by the foot, you know youre doin it right. All the love to you Ron!!

[@JulesB-zv9dp]

Fantastic collection! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@btwbrand]

THANK YOU for sharing this collection with us! I use meters every day and have for the past 30 years and I never stopped to consider what anyone used before 1990. If you have anything else to share with KZbin we are eager to see it!

[@IvanPassos]

Excellent 😊

[@sheep1ewe]

This is awesome!! I remember whan i was a little kid and my grandfather and uncle took me to a museum exhibision with old radios, anything from military radio equipment with recordings of actualy broadcastings from the war to home made receivers from the 1950s. I was just blown away by the humming tranformes and the mezmerizing glowing valves! My father told me it was really hard to make me move from the exhibision and my uncle did find me still wandering around there whan the others had long ago dragged away to other exhibiusions and my parents did wonder where i went.... ha ha

[@deanagoes2791]

very beautiful collection.

[@michellevey9608]

I'm a collector myself. A very rewarding hobby.

[@MAGA_Extremist]

Same. I love to collect things too. I'm into old u.s. coins and Regular Nintendo Tapes name a few

[@andytipping70]

GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU GLASS - you inspired me to attempt a few valve sets - three to be precise - ive never played with valves before (UK)

[@eugenefisher2965]

In 2008 when I was working as a contractor for the US navy I was given a brand new Simpson 260 with a recent production date. I had not seen one since the 70's in HS electronics shop class. I found out that the Navy had standardized a lot of test procedures on the Simpson 260 and it was less expensive to keep buying 260's than switch all those procedures to a modern DMM. It had a lot to do with the 10000 ohm/volt load of the 260.

[@krz8888888]

Been asking to see the collection for years, thanks for the video!

[@frankwilson2607]

Back in the 70's I let my dad's instruments go for a song. I had got busy in a different discipline and stopped at discrete solid state components - never learned enough electronics basics to think that the old school gear would be useful to me. I wish I had grown up in your neighborhood - I'm certain that I would have learned a lot from you! You have both a deep understanding of circuit theory and awesome practical aptitude in many different technical areas. Do you have a video history of all your different jobs and experiences? That would be very interesting. Stay well!

[@KE8UYV]

Ron, your are an inspiration, and a set of encyclopedias of knowledge. Thank you for sharing a bit with us all!

[@brucebuckeye]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@james5553]

I love your uploads. I also have a lot of vintage instruments. I might do a video of my stuff as well - I am inspired !

[@synchro505]

Electronic device design was so cool back when. It would be a blast to build a PC using parts that had this look.

[@Joe-ep9lk]

Nice to see you again :):)

[@RapperBC]

I'm only 15 minutes in here, and this is just a tad bit of a jaw-dropper. Wow. And thanks a million for sharing this (and all the other great videos you've shared).

[@frankowalker4662]

What a fantastic collection. Thank you for the tour. 👍

[@Super8Rescue]

Goodness me Ron, you knocked it out of the park again. This is quite the collection, thanks for talking us through the collection. I am interested in the loudspeakers you have screwed to the wall....

[@WECB640]

An AMAZING collection. Thank you very much for sharing and educating us.

[@user-Atamigaputer]

Ron is a knowledge treasure

[@outthereassociates7155]

I can almost smell the aroma of old test gear, Glorious!

[@cpi23]

damn girl you make Hainbach seem minimal

[@dennisqwertyuiop]

[@noahlang2945]

Thank you for the tour Ron! It was so nice seeing your collection!

[@anandarochisha]

Amazing. You are a National Treasure..you deserve your own cable show. Sweet collection !

[@jamesbruno5896]

Very cool

[@davidsmith9063]

absolutely beautiful collection! 😍

[@DeadKoby]

Your tuning fork oscillator reminds me of the Conn Stroboconn for tuning musical instruments. It uses a tuning fork to drive the motors that run the tuners. 1939 technology that still works AMAZING for tuning musical instruments. I have a few on my channel.

[@user-ms7um1ge5j]

I tuned pianos for 9 years. I have a working Stroboconn. Southern Maryland.

[@inflambulent]

Thank you so much for ALL your wonderful videos! You are truly a treasure.

[@edmaster3147]

[@Ale.K7]

Beautiful collection, thanks for sharing!

[@nudebaboon4874]

Wow Ron an amazing collection you have there, i and im sure others would really enjoy seeing the inside, and a demonstration of that 1khz tuning fork oscillator, many thanks!

[@merlin5476]

[@xnavynuc]

Well, I guess this answers my question from your last video about what you did with all the old test equipment you had in the attic when you installed the tube collection! Looking forward to your restoration videos. 😊

[@michaelmiller641]

I look forward to the restoration videos of your vast range of test equipment!

[@martinfisher1484]

[@fabiohaddad2531]

Amazing collection! 29:44 is very interesting and the pair of very old oscilloscopes!

[@2509498788]

Interesting collection..

[@ntilewills5679]

Wow super cool I was an instrument tech for a WWII power plant. Got to see lots of cool old stuff.

[@ManojKumar-mx7is]

Good to see you after a long time. Love from India ❤

[@gerritwiersma6269]

Unbelievable how much knowledge you have !I though I did well building a crystal set and adding a tube for better reception and from a eyco kit a hifi Amp

[@bblod4896]

I may be wrong but I think you are building a museum of old antique radios, tubes and equipment. It would be great to visit one day. Thanks for the tour.

[@dz-abouttechnique1849]

Nice collection.

[@rEdf196]

I have an identical Calrad SWR-2 meter clone (3rd unit lower right 10:57) my version is a Reace model SWR-3. I bought it for $5 dollars at a garage sale last year and has the original box, instructions and screw on field strength antenna, still works good. I use it between my CB radio cable to antenna. my guess is the Calrad and my Reace version are from the 1960's to 70's.

[@electron0002]

Very enjoyable I love watching your videos just wish there was move of them

[@nysaea]

what a fascinating collection!!! :o

[@hugovale8070]

Nice to see you ron , great vid amazing equipment , greetings from françe ;=)

[@herbertsax7169]

Great collection in deed. I suppose You are #2 after Mr. Carlson. I was born end of the 40th and started my electronic Carrier as Radio/TV repair man in Germany. My favour is still old school tube technology.

[@netautorisationnetautorisa545]

*I AM NOT SURE .. HE "MAKE TUBES" ...!! CARLSON "DO NOT" .. I THINK* *IF SO .. **#THIS** IS NR 1 PROFESSOR ..*

[@JimmieRexClipz]

Awesome stuff

[@miketurnner1351]

Wow It is always so great watching all your video Miss, I love all of them! Sweetheart if you know anyone a can post the picture of the tube i have for you to see Please let me know. or someone E-mail i can send it to. Thank you so so much for all the great video you always post. God Bless your heart.....

[@moristo]

Nice measuring tools collection, I want to know how the older system calculating the RF output on transmitter.

[@fredfabris7187]

Awesome collection! My wife would leave me if I brought all that home 😂

[@alejandromagnus9665]

Excellent ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@cyndicorinne]

21:26 I like how you mounted the free standing meters! You should open a museum

[@frustro4323]

My collection js about a 3rd the size of same era kit. I tried to get Mr. Carlson to buy my Suoreme 561 rf/af signal generator to go along with his Vedolyzer but he never replied. I only have 1 set tester and I need to restore it's a Sterling R-522 model, the meters are pristine and layout beautiful. Im still wanting to come visit and privide muscle for labor so i can maybe get those units working. Im serious about driving from San Antonio to you!

[@samvintageradios2115]

Fantastic collection it must have taken you years to collect

[@goodun2974]

You didn't specifically mention it but I saw at least 3 devices that used very early large-bulb neon lamps to measure leakage. One was a tube tester, I think another was a capacitor tester, and the homemade power supply used one as well, possibly as a voltage regulator.

[@roneycorrea]

Amazing !!!

[@cyndicorinne]

6:43 interesting! Variation of reading due to switch contacts. I think I’ve noticed that with a couple of my contemporary multimeters.

[@redneckways1933]

Love your collection I have a VTVM and don't know really how to use it. Be nice. If KZbin had a video on

[@nanar13]

Super Bravo l'ami👍👍👍

[@natebender4740]

Awesome collection! I know you've shown some X-Ray tech on the channel before- do you have any full pieces of vintage X-Ray kit?

[@cajuncoinhunter]

Quite the collection you got there ........ I have 2 old Triplett meters like you have from the 50's era , I bought 1 as non working , I didn't know I was gonna get one that was used for parts , oh well . The other is halfway working , do you get those Triplett's up to snuff ?? . I seen a few names in there I recognize from when I was working on radios in the 70's to the 90's ..... Hickok is one , I have a Freq counter by them...... General Radio made some of the best stuff out there.... Anyway , Take Care Mon Ami ......

[@glasslinger]

Certainly work on the Triplett! They are fine for general repair work and the needle settles down faster than most of the digital meters. You can get the schematic on the Triplett website.

[@into-db3oe]

Amaizing!

[@katkuriswamy3182]

Amazing

[@pietpaaltjes7419]

I love to see the insides of that galvano meter.

[@wiwingmargahayu6831]

android smartphone is amazing good job Sir

[@armandovalente1192]

ciao e da un po che vedo i tuoi filmato sei grande

[@Barnekkid]

I love all the Bakelite. They just don't make them like that anymore.

[@khalidjankhalidjanzehri6697]

I'm old radio lover

[@mikepasko7493]

VERY GOOD......

[@goldbergje]

YAY you're still here! :) :)

[@krz8888888]

Is this your personal collection or a collection that was donated like the tubes ?
