Nice radio, I remember the SBE super console CB radio back in the 70's

I'm a contractor in Houston TX. we were doing a bathroom remodel for an older lady and I had to put some supplies in here garage, long story short she was about to throw an sbe sb-36 in the trash along with a cobra 142 gtl. Couldn't get it to turn on and thanks to your video I got it turned on and it works as fast as I can tell. If you would be interested in it send me a message.

[@TheRadioShop]

Good to hear. Nice score. You can contact me by the show more tab under the video.

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Just to say your videos are great. Educational and helped me realignment of my FT101B. Cheers from old George and Jane UK.

[@maltesefan3157]

[@cajuncoinhunter]

Yeah , I remember that old radio , A buddy of mine had 2 of those , one at his house and 1 on his shrimp boat , he would talk to his wife while he was out on the water .....

[@wallychambe1587]

[@RobertTKlaus]

Such a beautiful radio, I just love Nixie tubes!

[@TheRadioShop]

Me too

[@scottlee1211]

Great work again Buddy! Love seeing these old radios restored and operational! Thanks for posting the video!

[@TheRadioShop]

That SBE is one of the most challenging rigs I have ever worked on. Thanks for watching

[@aussiedazvk4djh889]

Gday Buddy. The SBE sounds great. The 101 it's another radio back on the air when it's finished. 👍

[@TheRadioShop]

Thanks, I just could not let the 101 stay a parts rig. Now I have to find another lol.

[@cuban9splat]

Wow Buddy. That SB-36 really brings back the memories. Back in the early 70's a good friend had one. Nice little rig. Thanks for the video, Buddy. 73 de K7RMJ Frank.

[@TheRadioShop]

Thanks for watching and sharing Frank.

[@hestheMaster]

A Ham radio with nixie tubes. Very awesome to see and almost completely working too! You'll get it done I'm sure.

[@TheRadioShop]

Agreed. Those look nice.

[@RGB06084]

Funny stuff Buddy! I literally just worked S51DX on 20 meters!

[@TheRadioShop]

Cool deal.!!

[@RGB06084]

@@TheRadioShop Yeah, for whatever reason I seem to talk to Jan regularly....

[@dfpolitowski2]

Wow you really like a challenge buddy. I might need your help getting my swan 700cx to work. Currently recapping the whole thing. I too ran into a bad parts, disconnected wires, wrong component values and more. May take a whole year before I power it on.

[@greengrayradio1394]

Nice to see the SB-36 (Frontier Digital 500D) coming to life! As I mentioned, these radios came on the market before they were fully "debugged". Mine is still waiting, I pulled the bottom cover and looked if my VFO had the bottom cover, it has the original one. Mine has too much VFO drift, I see the oscillator has a 15V zener as the reference, which causes the voltage to vary with temperature and cause drift. I will replace with a 3-terminal voltage regulator. I have not used this for many years, but will take it on the bench and have a look at it again

[@TheRadioShop]

Good idea on the regulator. 15 volts is just too high to stabilize. Thanks for commenting

[@alandrury9955]

Great to keep following your videos, much appreciated and thanks for taking the time. Did you ever do anything on the FT-200 / Tempo-1? I've managed to get hold of one and will be starting to go through it

[@TheRadioShop]

Someone wanted the tempo more than I did. Now O have to find another. Thank for watching.

[@droberts73543]

I'm very interested in this one Buddy I have a 101EE that was a Ham Feast special that ends up and thank God you stress to look them over and use a variac to power it

[@TheRadioShop]

Many issues can be found with just an eye on these rigs. Just takes a little patience. And always use the variac, not only saves the radio but the operator too. Thanks for the comment.

[@droberts73543]

@@TheRadioShop I learned a lot from you Buddy, I knew this was going to be long and time consuming project but is all good I want to radio to get this radio back on the air because it was the first radio I had back in the day and am not totally concerned with the time it'll take except concerned with the availability of parts

[@pierrelataillade7564]

Well buddy just wanted to say that what you do is greatly appreciated. Working a full time job and are able to do this type of work is not an ease task....

[@TheRadioShop]

It is a lot of work my friend. Thanks for the comment.

[@321CatboxWA]

That SBE SB36 is one sexy rig ! Not as sexy as a DAK . 73

[@TheRadioShop]

The Dak is a nice looking rig.

[@73superglide62]

Are you having ruff time getting parts

[@TheRadioShop]

Yes! Ever since the global pandemic started parts have been hard to find.

[@73superglide62]
