HOMEBUILT ATWATER KENT BREADBOARD RADIO

[@waltman333]

You're amazing....I used to pick up old radios from the junk yard when I was a kid back in the 40's when I lived in NYC, there was a radio repair shop on Broadway which was in our building and they let me rummage through their parts cellar for tubes and parts to get the old cathedral radios working again. Boy was that fun! We moved to Florida and I continued fooling around with old radios, became a licensed ham and then got my commercial licenses and after leaving the military worked in commercial radio & TV until I retired. Your videos take me back to those wonder years of old timey radio & I have a collection of old radio programs (OTR). Walt in Miami

Lookin' all dolled up today Ron, great to see another upload from you!

[@ladamurni]

It is a shame that this time it was such a short video.

[@xnavynuc]

I’m just glad he’s putting something out more frequently now. Hope it continues!

[@timhull8664]

Hey Ron all dolled up, and ready to go as we say in the UK.. but rather than go out you do a great video.. Thanks..on a another instructional vid.

[@seanbryant2848]

I am always mesmerized by your intelligence, talent, genius, and inventive spirit! You were the first one I ever encountered who actually showed how to make vacuum tubes, and then you did it! And all your restoration and repair videos over the years have been so instructive and even "edge of the seat" interesting... and now there is this one. Thank you! Live long and prosper!

[@208raven]

its a shame we didnt see you make this radio.i love watching your long videos my fav is the tv repairs

[@docfoot316]

Looking beautiful there and including the radio as well .

[@roberthousedorfii1743]

Damn, Ron, You dressed up real pretty tonight! Looks GREAT! Keep it going!!! Damn, do I wish I had your knowledge.......

[@anderskarlsson9881]

Wow, that's a beautiful build, a REAL radio. I just wish that components like that would appear at my workshop, but I guess that they just don't show up from mowhere :-) I love this type of radios as they keeps the magic of radio alive.

[@shaun27ful]

Hi really good video as usual very interesting. Lovely dress as well

[@dennisqwertyuiop]

Great video. you look wonderfull today,thanks for all you work

[@binarybox.binarybox]

Well done, Ron, for acquiring and building the parts into a regen radio. My first radio was a regen short wave receiver using a TP22 valve when I was 13 y.o.

[@musicsoundelectronics5590]

Very cool build. Like another commented, that power supply is really interesting. I'd love to see a video on that with a schematic.

[@josephconsoli4128]

Very nice work on a very attractive radio! When you use these early sets you can still feel the excitement that those pioneer radio listeners felt. There's just something magical about radio.

[@japc4326]

You look fine, and I'm impressed the work bench is not cluttered up lol...great video as always...thanks John

[@priestblood]

HI Ron,what a great looking radio and you created from a idea,I would love to look at the stored information in your head.You should create a book so it's not lost to time ,there are not many people with your knowledge left, I would buy your book .Stay Healthy

[@darrenbird124]

You look fabulous Ron, great job on that bread board look forward to more videos. 🥰

[@thomaslucas6079]

That is expensive except of course you can't lose anything because you going to keep it. Thank you for the video. I always look forward to seeing your videos.

[@jaguarracingus]

wonderful looking build ron. cute dress too. and yes...i remember what a frock is now.😁

[@hectorpascal]

Nice! Another "Ron Special" that will probably sell at auction in 100 years time, described in the catalog as "A Unique Example of an Unknown Model of an Atwater Kent Vintage Radio"! :)

[@NZHippie]

Wow, masterful construction and operation, totally enjoyed this project demonstration...

[@oscarpicoscalle8657]

without prejudice as it should be, be yourself and that's it, excellent work always, sorry for my English, hugs from Spain

[@hestheMaster]

It is a rare art to get a receiver as old as this working as well as designing it from parts. Thanks for sharing it Ron!

[@Timothycan]

Brilliant pioneering-style radio like 100 years ago! Thanks for your excellent videos they are amazing.

[@peteb2]

Greetings from New Zealand. Wow! i get a direct sense of sheer excitement when back in the day your newly purchased sets of parts you'd scrimped & saved to buy had at last been connected up suddenly burst to life & your hobby in the era of this newfangled thing called Wireless was in its infancy! It must have been really something!

[@kensherwood4866]

Great looking video in every regard, fine use of those radio pieces you had around to produce a fine set.

[@ry491]

Love your videos . Fabulous radio and by the way , you look great . Good for you . Best wishes from s like minded guy in the UK

[@robertbodek4473]

Nice dress! Cool radio

[@jankarlsson6261]

Greetings from Sweden Today You and Your radio shine together

[@guesswhotoo6]

My dad who was in the radio repair business of his own after ww2 had one of those. Great!

[@Geoduck.]

What a fun project thanks for sharing. If I had the skill I'd love to rebuild an old Atwater and occasionally use it. As others have said the nostalgia and history of those is fascinating.

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

That's a posh frock Ron - great content as always - Stay safe

[@peterw2845]

Always great to see you and a video Ron , beautiful job as always

[@diecksl]

Great radio, great dress, like it 👌

[@markusfuller]

THanks Ron. You always make very interesting and informative video's. this radio looks amazing.

[@blipblip88]

Twilight Zone moment...You turn on your refurbished radio and amid the static of the lower bands you pick up...“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!“ Beautiful. And your radio is lovely too. ;)

[@techno8870]

Love your work! Always a joy to see a new upload.

[@bblod4896]

Really beautiful homebrew regenerative radio. Thanks for the overview.

[@joee2047]

Ron I really enjoy your videos, and also like the way you describe what you're doing, you teach very well. Thanks!

[@bob7872]

Always nice to see electronics from the past working perfectly!

[@mjpbase1]

Clever setup and good demonstration of it. Thank you.

[@ionzaharia5078]

Just don’t stop , you’re videos are incredible !

[@dontknowbrian]

You have got to be one of the smartest people I know! Love the videos you work so hard to produce! I was blown away the day you needed a radio tube that was out of production for about 100 years so you made one right on that video! That’s really brilliant! Thank you for taking so much of your time to educate the rest of us on how some of these radios work. I like the blue dress you were wearing in this video but I really think the red dress from the fixing the 1949 television set a few years ago was your best! Be who you are and god bless!

[@MVVblog]

This is one of your best projects, really beautiful

[@ianmedium]

Fantastic Ron, it looks like something Flash Gordon would have listened to! All the best from Austria.

[@Gualluecious]

I love honesty and enjoy your work!

[@davidstacy8314]

Hey Ron your friend Dave here it was nice to see another one of your videos that radio look really cool I have an old Crystal set that was given to me and I had to work on it to get it to work be looking forward to seeing some more of your videos it's always nice to see a professional at work may God bless you and keep you safe always your friend Dave

[@orionwarren4244]

My favorite trans electronic repair gal!

[@JohnSurf5]

Thank you for the video. It makes me happy to see old components come back to life again!

[@ladamurni]

Thank you very much for the upload! Today we had stormy weather with a lot of rain. I didn't want to go out of the house. I don't need anything from the store anyway, so I was a little bored. So I started my old computer and there it was my saveur, a new video from you. Thanks Ron!

[@EngineeringVignettes]

It turned out nice Ron. Nice to be able to make use of these parts. I guess it's a reproduction of a vintage homebrew radio :D Cheers,

[@ricknelsonm]

That radio is a work of art a nice display piece too. Than you,

[@ImmitH]

That's beautifulI love these bread bord radios. Oh and you look snazzy today.

[@jimhouston1605]

Very nice Ron. I have always been fond of home brew AK sets. Nice to see it working. Really enjoy your videos. Nice work. Especially like the grid leak on top where you can easily access it. AK should have done that.

[@stephencopeland238]

I really enjoyed this video - absolutely love the radio and thank you so much for sharing

[@PicaDelphon]

You were all Dressed up and The Date was over in under 7 Min's, ''I Love Mondays..'' Very Nice Unit..

[@Greg-et2dp]

Glass linger your home built at water kent receiver is awesome my friend 😅😅😊

[@googlem7]

One of my favourite youtubers ron Knowledge and skillset is of the charts👌

[@SA0BUX]

Nice build !

[@xyredmax]

Another step back in time - Beautifully made parts

[@Xotzil-Privat]

Hir Ron, many thanks for showing this little radio. You lucky Americans still have AM stations to receive with old stuff while Germany's idiootic government eliminated all medium an short wave stations whitout need. In addition: Lucky to still see you in good condition.

[@spacecase0]

That is definitely a fun radio. Thank you for sharing

[@CEverett55]

That might be the most amazing and aesthetically stunning thing you have built so far!

[@donwright3427]

In our little town in Wales there are some dwellings called Marconi bungalows. That's because Marconi had a relay station there many years ago .He even visited coming in to the nearest harbour on his private yacht

[@thedude8046]

Looking wonderful ron. Beautiful machine.

[@madkenkyujo]

That dress looks good on you !

[@iflan2000]

Incredible knowledge and as always a great video that has now made me late for work because i had to watch it.

[@Pnut-qd4em]

I like those serparated "set" radios more than the all in a box radios. thanks for showing it for Us .

[@bobvines00]

Ron, nice radio using the old Atwater Kent parts you had saved! The variometer reminds me of the book by H. P. Friedrichs ("The Voice of the Crystal") where he covers building one at home to experiment with, along with _all_ other parts needed to build a crystal radio. Now I need to re-read his "Instruments of Amplification" book to see how he builds, among other components, primitive vacuum tubes & (point-contact) transistors, all to eventually build a working (& powered) radio set. I have no clue how well the components from either book will work, but I suppose that simply depends on the care I take plus experimentation to see what works the best in a relatively primitive radio set. Your videos are an encouragement to go ahead and "play" with building my own components and, hopefully, one or more working radios! ;)

[@hugooc]

That’s a pretty neat looking radio! Keep doing what you do. I really like your channel.

[@encorespod2135]

6mins?!?! What happened to the other 50? :) o0O (Probably saving them for the next one...)

[@Scodiddly]

I think this is what Ron considers a "short". ;)

[@chriscimino7854]

Hello good to see another exciting video of you and your mighty talented brain and very good with your hands making tubes. I am very impressed how you can make tubes and it takes a lot to get me impressed. I am the one that told the joke about the radio for sale being stuck on high volume and I couldn't turn that down. I know it was probably corney just like to make people laugh

[@Foock57]

Very cool radio you built!! Do you build that Power Supply? Were I can get the schematics to build one!!? Many thanks!

[@anandarochisha]

It's been too long ! GREAT work..fab Frock..

[@tarstakars]

What an incredibly rare set of skills this person has, he makes his own vacuum tubes for crying out loud. who does that? and who can do that besides Ron?

[@sissy1234hhh]

love the dress!

[@houdielbow5770]

Just fabulous… absolutely fabulous .

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

What a VERY NICE homebuilt Ron, looks and works great too! Awesome!

[@thefixitgal]

I'm really glad your making videos again fairly consistently

[@thereare4lights137]

Damn that's a beautiful power supply! Did you built that? And if so, would you share the schematic and/or build instructions. 😊

[@edaudio]

That's just brilliant! Congrats!

[@Idelia412]

Very nice radio! Thanks for sharing!

[@Jamslerr]

I’m so happy to see your videos! Thanks for uploading & sharing information.

[@Rosscoff2000]

Another interesting video - great that you can keep up the good work.

[@craigrotay3732]

Add an eye to it. looks stunning. so does the radio.

[@skycarl]

Nice job on this Ron,,, thanks for sharing.

[@oadamo]

wow looks awesome. i am building a set from 1920 ish parts i think i need to step my game up now.

[@tebbi67]

I especially like the nail polish...pretty good lookin.....and thx for the vid!

[@timmack2415]

Another job well done, Ron!

[@kevintewell6004]

I wish you would show your collection sometime.

[@edmaster3147]

I would like that too! @Ron: Great vid, thanks

[@elshiftos]

Frocks or radios? 😉

[@frankowalker4662]

That is so cool, and it looks gorgeous.

[@davidportch8837]

brilliant Ron... love it...

[@PearsonHurst]

That set is a thing of beauty!

[@geofftaylor8913]

You look really nice. Love your channel

[@sr633]

Nice video Ron. The unit sure looks like an expensive Atwater Kent bread board radio.

[@joohop]

Lovely Work Buddy Bless Up

[@zaum2002]

Very cool. You should build a home transmitter to test radios. Thr problem with AM stations is they mostly stink and are not fun to listen to. With a small transmitter you can play whatever you like from CD or mp3 or ?

[@MrCount44201]

You're so talented, I wish I had half of your knowledge. 🙂

[@thaddeusmcgrath]

You have such talent and style!

[@markhodgson2348]

I love your dresses

[@sonovoxx]

Short but sweet. A radio from parts - can we have more of this? I'd say a Ron design from scratch would be some receiver! Great work!
