@Mr Carlson's Lab - Seems USA radios from 1960s ( & early 1970s ? ) & older have a horrible lethal construction (just like WW2 era stuff) , even worse than some Chinese Travel-Death-dapters ... In Germany this state just lasted until early 1960s , quickly adopted the transistor & the low voltage line transformer ( cord - fuse - switch - transformer - rectifier - capacitors )

[@BruceNitroxpro]

Paul, you may wish to tell the viewers that the time signal is also a frequency marker and should be on 2.5 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, etc. In the day, this was the ultimate time and frequency signal. Even today, only the most sensitive tuning indicators go below one Hz. difference at a WWV frequency. Most of these are controlled by extremely accurate oscillators such as those dependent on methods other than quartz crystals.

FAD RADIO RECEIVER FROM THE 1937 LOOKS KOOL

Mr Carlson I watch on utube his name is Mrister radio whe he restore radios receivers he puts in a jack in so can hook up a mp3player or your cell phone on the old radios that is a not good it make the money go down I like old radios receivers

Indeed. That is a mark of a great teacher!

[@MrTylerStricker]

There is something VERY Zen about watching Dr Carlson save the planet by restoring one radio receiver at a time.

[@bradleyleben7785]

Back in the mid-1930s my mom remembers the first radio my grandfather brought home. She said she remembers the whole family would stare at it as it played like people do today at a television. Then in 1942 my moms two older brothers were drafted into the military and the radio became a lifeline of knowledge about the war. You can’t help but wonder how the vintage radio like this may have played as a lifeline to somebody’s family back then. As always I thoroughly enjoyed your video Paul. And I always look forward to the next one.

[@maryrafuse3851]

Such a wonderful reflection on this era.

[@tomtke7351]

As a comforting but ludicrous idea I muse that on our passing we can speak with any of those who passed before.... I'll add to my list the engineers who designed this radio. Including praising their selection of power cord grommets.... and a very robust radio receiver... Thx mr C

[@agems56]

And in Germany my grand parents had to ingeniously design a way to disguise the radio they had into a grandfather clock cabinet, because they were not allowed during the war. In the U.K. a license was required to have a regular radio! How times have changed!

[@greggaieck4808]

My great-grandparents would listen to Voice of America in the Soviet Union post WW2. They were convinced that Americans were coming to liberate them. Sadly that never happened.

[@dougrobison5342]

Wow, Paul you are fantastic! That radio realignment was better than the 1938 factory version. I was born in 1945 and my father came back from WWII to learn electronics radio and tv repair in the early 1950’s, mostly self taught, and made a living doing so and supported our family. He tried to teach me,as well, but I wasn’t interested! I always knew he had the “touch” for electronics and the passion too but never really appreciated it. Watching you brings my young experiences with my father back very clearly and makes me more aware how talented a man he was, as you are also! Thank You Very Much! PS- Even tho I didn’t follow my father in the electronics field, I did succeed in flying very technical airplanes worldwide for the USAF and United Airlines for 35 years and developed a deep appreciation for your talent and skills! God Blessed You and it’s great that you are passing that on to many others. Again, thanks much.

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - and you Mr Carlson have got me at it too!! I have recapped, repaired and aligned one 1948 radio. Two more to go dating to the early 1950s. Have recapped and repaired a 1962 Cossor 1099 oscilloscope, and am building an accessory device for it to add a normal Y attenuator / amplifier, a sig genny, and a frequency meter switched between X, Y and genny. There is much more, but no need to list here. Using vintage to fix vintage is fun !

I love❤ these 1930’s restorations 😊

[@triac2008]

Last summer while vacationing in Chautauqua New York, I picked up a couple of 1940 era radios from an antique shop. One was a GLF F-770. It's an am-fm-phono type. After doing a little research it seems it was privately produced for the local farmers and merchants of western New York area. GLF stands for Grange League Federation. I love the history behind these old finds. Been working with electronics for about 40 years. This will be my first "old time radio" restore. Thanks to Mr. Carlson I brought it up slowly with the variac, isolation transformer, and dim bulb tester. I found out that the transformer was shorted. Lucky enough to find a NOS transformer. It works! Now for the caps. This will be a fun restore. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Mr. C.

Imagine Orson Welles - War of the Worlds performance, from 1938, being broadcast on this set!

[@the8bitbarn836]

Good Point! I bet if living back in the day and only being able to hear the story unfold without knowing it was just a radio show, would probably scare the devil out of you. But that entertainment right? We take so much for granted today it's a shame.

[@Conjugate-Match]

Mr Carlson needs more diagnostic gear .. LOL. I really appreciate the in depth discussion in all your vids.

[@Pulse87dotca]

I used to have that signal generator, and I still own the same variac as you. I first started messing with vintage radios when I bought a batch of broken AA5 tabletop sets at an auction for next to nothing. Surprisingly, I never had an accident or shock from one of those dangerous radios, and got a good many working. Back then, my "restorations" were simply replace the defective components and sometimes tune up the IF, and I still love those old tube radios! Real radios glow in the dark. Keep them singing!

[@hammeys1]

I was about to go out shopping till my phone went ping telling me you had uploaded a video, guess shopping can wait. Really enjoy your videos and have learnt a great deal about electronics since I have been subscribed to your channel. Thank you and have a good day from Liverpool England

[@SteveMasonCanada]

I've never liked tube gear. Had a Heathkit GR-54, switched to a solid-state Yaesu FRG7 and never looked back. Never had any tube ham gear. That said, I just love these videos! The sheer simplicity of these radios, and how well they work even 80 years later, makes me think maybe I've been missing out.

Straight from Brazil. My dear friend Mr Carlson's, greetings! I'm a fan of your videos and teachings, I've been working with electronics for about 40 years and always learn a little more from you here on the channel. Please continue this, as many and many others have learned more and more from an experienced master like you. I wish you much Peace, Health and Prosperity!

[@getreal3336]

Awesome job! 👍 Wish I knew a tenth lf what Mr. C. knows. Just amazing.

[@franknewling1139]

Hello Paul, I've been doing "catch up" on all of your videos. I've been thinking about this every time that you do a restoration on a receiver with S.W. You have a lot of space in the chassis after changing out those big old caps for the modern stuff. How about building a small BFO circuit with the adjustment knob on the back of the chassis to preserve the classic appearance while being able to access the high percentage of SSB signals available on those bands. In any case, I have really enjoyed seeing some of the stuff that I remember from when I was a teenager with a old scope and signal generator. I really like your teaching style. People with a very basic understanding of electronics can learn more without feeling that it's all over their heads. Thanks again, for all the great videos. I've relearned some things that I forgot sixty years ago. Keep it up!

[@Trilinie]

Mr Carlson takes me back to my adolescence, as to when I had a lot of old (not working) TV's and radio's! Oh! Such fun it was! - Totally enthralling! I wanted to be a TV and Radio repair person when I was 14 years old! (1964) If I had have had Mr Carlson 'teaching me' I'm sure I would have been successful!

[@johnz8210]

Pretty awesome. Thanks for the video. What a treasure Mr. Carlson and this channel are for us. I'm sometimes not a big fan of modern tech, but in this case it's sure nice to have it - so we can have these awesome videos available to us.

[@gavincurtis]

Just got back at 9:00 and heard about the buzz we all get to have. Watching these old beauties come back to life is buzz enough for me.

[@MrHyde-wv8wi]

My comments to show support for your Videos are as follows. -Big Thumbs Up

[@robincross4625]

I started working in a radio/TV shop at 14. I'm 74 right now. There were almost no solid state devices. The fear of tube circuits astounds me. I ended up as Chief Engineer for AM//FM broadcast Stations and am retired from 2 Universities. I did re-tune an FM transmitter with 10KV on the plate. I got the Ip up to 5 A just to see if the tube could do it. I have rewired 3 phase transformer primaries running either 240VAC closed delta OR 208 VAC 4 wire. I've even swapped 2000 pound 3 phase HV transformers between different transmitters. With the right precautions and operating techniques it is safe to work on almost any equipment. It is important that one hand is ALWAYS in one pocket and all work is done with equipment that is verified OFF, and all HV circuits have been grounded to remove residual voltages. All jewellry should be removed as well.

[@baberoot1998]

I wonder, how many of President Roosevelt's 'Fireside Chats', were broadcast through this radio in real time. And...how many Beatles tunes, were played through this radio, in real time. Wouldn't it be cool...if they had the technology back then, for the radio, to record every broadcast played on the radio through the years, so that one could listen to its history today? Fantastic looking radio. Very much enjoyed viewing this.

[@TheRadioShop]

Awesome restoration Paul. Good to see the Vedolyzer performing. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulrussotto7813]

Wow! It has been over 50 years since the last time that I touched a vacuum tube device - I worked in numerous repair shops during high school and college. Viewing this episode of "The Lab" was like stepping back in time. Plate voltages, choke coils and filter capacitors all came back - like it was yesterday. I really appreciated the method by which Paul troubleshoot this '37 radio. I would have got directly to the volume control with my probe (or touched a screwdriver to the center lead of the pot) to check for audio output. Checking the screen grid capacitor would have been somewhere way down on my list. Great video - keep up the wonderful work!

[@OtherWorldExplorers]

After the clean up I like how the tube covers were left as is Like she aged gracefully. Love your choice!

[@EsotericArctos]

It still amazes me just how warm and full the sound is on these old valve radios compared to virtually every solid state radio I have heard, and this is on the AM band, which is not even classed as high fidelity.

[@rotaxtwin]

I remember an old car radio pulled from a '68 or so Monaco that had great tone just like a tube radio. Turns out those early transistor car radios ran a transistor class A through an output transformer just like most small tube radios. Possibly why it had similar tone. Have not heard such 'hi fi' sound from an AM radio since.

I can't wait to see a restore of a similar-era TV (even if there's no analog TV stations left, may need to restore one of those as well).

[@LakeNipissing]

Take a look at the KZbin channel 'Spats Bear'. He did a ten video series fully restoring an RCA CT-100 color TV from 1954. This may have been one of the first color TVs.

[@MrHBSoftware]

a vacuum tube tv being able to display a fully sync'ed picture only with all analog circuitry is really a masterpiece of engineering, that's why tv's are a tough dog...cant accurately test components like the flyback transformer, even with a ring tester, it's a gamble...so you need to power the set on, but to power it on you need to change caps... i have done about 20 german BW tube sets..some of them use up to 23 tubes. my approach when possible is do the minimum to make it work, then recap..after recapping there is the need for adjustments before you can be able to display a picture....the timebases will be running at wrong frequencies for example, more than often particulalry the horizontal will need tweaking...after that it requires a full setup to make it look right...it's a really interesting/challenging hobby,

What a beautiful little Art Deco gem! And it deserved your gentle touch.

[@dhpbear2]

I used to record music off AM many years ago. Unfortunately, my station-of-intrerest broadcast at 910 KHz, the first harmonic of the IF of 455 KHz! This resulted in a nasty beat frequency showing up when properly tuned in. So, I had to DE-TUNE the IF's up or down and re-tweak the oscillator so the dial tracked.

[@yuckonjack]

I like your presentation manner and you have a very natural voice with excellent cadence which makes it very easy to follow. Your God's gift of intelligence and electronic ability has helped so many of us. I am thinking of joining your Patreon channel to try some of your projects that are of interest to me. But I have a simple question which I hope is not taken in a negative way. Why are you installing the foil caps with their values not shown? The old dog bone resistors have their painted values on top to be seen easily when installed. Why not the same for the foil caps printed values? I realize you have a schematic for the radio, but would it not make sense to be able to see the value of the cap to make sure it is correctly installed or easy to replace if a schematic is not available? Just a passing thought. Thanks again for the educational videos.

When I was a kid my dad had a Telefunken radio, what I loved seeing was the back part as he turned it on. It had two Phillips tubes in one side that would flash glow before the actual filament warm up. The other tubes would just do their normal soft glow up. Later when I took the tubes to be tested the technician told me that initial flash was a characteristic only Phillips tubes had but didn't know what caused it.

I recently made the decision to tear apart my E-200-C signal generator for lack of a good selector switch. I will be reusing the power transformer in an amplifier build. I just noticed the HIT-RAY branded tube in there. Those tubes were made by Hitachi, whose tube factory was tooled up by Raytheon in the mid-1940s, hence the name HIT-RAY.

Mr Carlson, Could you talk about the advantages and/or disadvantages of putting a grounding line cord on these old radios? I seems that rewiring the switch, adding a fuse, and grounding the chassis with a grounded line cord would be the ultimate in safety. What I don't know is what issues (if any) that would have on the performance of the radio. These videos are great, I have several radios that I bought at an auction that these videos have inspired me to rebuild.

Great video thanks 😊

[@muonneutrino2909]

Thanks for another enjoyable and informative project. The Supreme Vedolyzer is the best name ever for an instrument. You probably know this, but when adjusting your video light source, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. As a rule of thumb, aiming the light source at around 45 degrees from the axis of the lens will eliminate glare. Your videos are well made and I look forward to your next project.
