Is this simple radio worth the huge effort it needs? - SBR R1 - Part 1

[@robharley9838]

Worth it if you're looking for a project! Nice piece really, even if simple. I'd have to watch me some David Tipton to get my inspirado up for this one! Good luck, and looking forward to seeing how you go with it. Thanks for sharing the content! - jrh

[@retro_tech]

Thanks!

I see one more mistake in the schematics: the B+ connection to the plate of the heptode is missing ! 🙂

[@retro_tech]

Correct! I noticed that as well while I was editing the video. You can also hear some hesitation in my voice while explaining that section because I noticed something was off but couldn't really pinpoint it instantly. There are multiple issues with this schematic...

[@Donno308]

Wow that one certainly is a mess. I think it will be worth it in the end though. It’s not a bad looking cabinet. I think you will be surprised when it’s all cleaned up and that crack is fixed. Since you have to fix the crack and as it’s not a high value radio, why not paint it a crazy colour?

[@retro_tech]

I could paint it teal and send it to Manuel. He seems to like that color. 😁

[@Donno308]

@@retro_tech Go on, do it 😂 I’m sure he’d love it!

[@birdy356]

zo lang je er plezier in hebt en de kosten laag blijven, waarom niet ;-)

[@retro_tech]

Ja, voorlopig doe ik enkel verder voor het plezier.

[@CyrielBouckaert]

Yes, a tad crazy. Maar doe zeker voort! Op z'n minst goed als tuinhuisradio...

[@retro_tech]

Ja, om in m'n tuinhuis (dat ik niet heb) te luisteren naar de middengolf. Super nuttig! 😉

[@CyrielBouckaert]

@@retro_tech Een kabeltje banaan-naar-minijack maken en een snok krijgen door uw eigen GSM/MP3-speler, is ook nog een mogelijkheid ;-)

I think anyone who restores old radios is a little crazy, in a nice way. 🤭

[@retro_tech]

You're not wrong 😅
