Haynes DIY Retro Radio

Let's build a radio! This is a retro one, not DAB or anything fancy like that, but the radio is on an integrated circuit, so it's just putting a few things together. Lovely. Why not try it yourself?

We miss him too and there won't be anymore videos sadly so cherish these few that he made. Love you weird old tech and miss you ❤

we will miss him sadly

[@gwood19841]

I am sorry to hear there won't be any more videos. Did he decide not to make any more? They're good videos

[@rarxtkk]

@@gwood19841 he passed away dude

[@cassidyuk]

He passed away in the Summer. He was a great friend and I am so grateful these exist. They bring me comfort and tears. Miss you brother.

@@cassidyuk pretty useful and educational vids i must say

[@BobMonkeypimp]

I hope you're going to keep making videos. I really enjoy them.

[@BobMonkeypimp]

I love this channel!

[@weirdoldtech]

Thanks Bob! Keep it real!

[@RoccosStuff]

Very nice. That's a nice way to learn wiring. I just started an Arduino training kit, and even though it's for beginners, something like this would have been a helpful 1st step. Great video, as always!

[@weirdoldtech]

Thanks for yoru support! Ah yes, Arduino's are absolutely excellent fun! Have you got a project in mind?

[@RoccosStuff]

@weirdoldtech I have a few ideas, but I think I'll get my feet wet adding LEDs to a model or making a temperature sensor/display. I'm hoping inspiration will strike as I learn more about what Arduino can do

[@weirdoldtech]

Good stuff! Good luck!

Me: *lost instructions so watching this to build along* This guy: *turns into the Flash*

[@kazantzos]

@BobMonkeypimp did you find any digital instructions? I also lost them and I am desperate now!

[@Custom26621]

@@kazantzosI could take a pic of mine and upload it if you need it still

[@johnblakeley2880]

Love this channel too!❤❤❤❤

[@weirdoldtech]

That's the spirit! Only four hearts though? Surely you can find room for one more!

[@tonyb7748]

Just found one of these kits NIB at my local thrift store!

[@jackmilne9764]

I've broken the ht7030 regulator I've got a transistor set anything that will work instead? Thanks Jack

[@andrewthorpe7882]

Built one today but getting one radio station followed every instruction wired up the tuner but cannot work out why the tuner doesn't work this is my first time ever working in is it called electronics even though working with batteries followed the diagram as I turned the pages the placing parts kept moving from one page to another so I went through it again got a crackle then sound then capital radio but the tuner moves and I ve followed every item piece by piece but tuner turns but doesn't scan channels ,any idea please

[@MuhtirElfina]

Awesome channel

[@humorous-departure]

Where have you gone, WOT? Hoping you're just taking a break and not gone for good! I miss your weekly videos. :(

[@fostexfan160]

I can't make sense of the instructions! Each diagram shows the components in different sections on the board! It makes no sense! The black wire turns out to be positive and the red neg!! No explanation of polarity. How did you work it out?

[@allanegleston4931]

interisting.

[@kazantzos]

Any chance anyone who sees this could share the manual cause I lost it? 😢 Thanks in advance!
