The BEST UNBOXING! Saved From The Trash

[@Buzz1151]

Hey Miss Moose...You and the radio make a very cute couple!..haha.....Think of it's history....the elderly man who owned it for all those years, then being tossed out in the trash after he died, and then being saved by you.. I am proud to have played a part in making it work again........This is why I love old radios..so much history... On another note, this radio is very susceptible to RF interference ( computers, lights, wall warts,etc, that create RF noise which can be heard..... hopefully you can experiment with the antenna and it will play as best as possible. Regards, Buzz

[@PaperandMoose]

Last night I chuckled to myself as I thought that the sports channel was appropriate... I could picture the man of the house having "the game" on or listening to sports in his own area of the house. So I think it was rather fitting!

[@bonniehembree3134]

Thanks Buzz, You have done an amazing job!! My dear departed Dad(gone but never forgotten) use to work on old radio's and television's and than later in his life worked on vcr's and dvd' s loved seeing this !! Keep up the great work

[@Buzz1151]

@@PaperandMoose You know, you can get a AM transmitter and broadcast your own music to the radio.

[@PaperandMoose]

@@Buzz1151 Did not know that! I'll have to get one, just in time for Christmas music!

[@liddybird3608]

That is a great idea! I often wish there were am stations today that play music from the thirties and forties without too much talking.

[@PaperandMoose]

Be sure to check out Buzz's channel so you can watch all 3 episodes of the radio restoration! Big thanks to Buzz for restoring this vintage treasure!

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hi. Paper and Moose. This radio you found from the trash is a big peice if history. I am so glad you are keeping something that is worth a lot of money. Do not donate it at all. God Bless you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kayblack6484]

As a little girl on a farm in Iowa, I remember a battery operated radio (the farmhouse had not yet been wired with electricity) that was used for special broadcasts. The weather and farm market reports were part of noon news. My hardworking mom would try to listen to a soap opera titled My Gal Sunday, and evening programs that were famous made that radio so precious to our household. I can relate well how Buzz has a love for these life changing radios.

[@Cheri12345]

Miss Moose....that sounded so cute when he called u miss moose.💙

[@simsjef]

Well, Ms Moose put a BUZZ on and truly entertained her MOOSE SUBSCRIBERS. The past and present depictions were so well done.

[@bevdakins1608]

How wonderful. Buzz brought the Buzz back to your beautiful radio. Now it can be enjoyed for years to come. 😊

[@marilynbrinker5633]

There was a remarkable older man who I knew for only a few years. And made my life that much richer. He died at age 98-ish. He once spoke with great reverence of his mother and the first radio his large family got. Only one person could listen to it at a time. Because of headphones? I don’t remember! Anyway, he said his mother got a big glass mixing bowl and put the headphones in it. And, voila! The sound was magnified! I’m not sure if I’m telling the story correctly, but with the respect and love he spoke of his mother, the poignancy of the story was a powerful one to me. He was one in a thousand gems. And credited his longevity to the glass of scotch he had every day! My mother passed last Christmas Eve. Also at the age of 98. One of her favorite stories was listening to Little Orphan Annie on the radio. On her birthday, her name was actually announced in the birthday section of the show. It was one of the few big thrills in a not so great childhood.

[@julesiou12]

That is so beautiful! What an amazingly kind gesture. I hope the guy, who's passion it once was, is looking down and feeling so happy right now that a fellow radio restorer has worked his magic on it. Not only does it work but it's going to be used and loved again. I wonder who originally had it and what they looked like. It looks like a 20's deco style so my imagination is going to that period with it's original owner. Great story and I feel so happy that you've shared this with us x

[@docfoot316]

Buzz is the man he does a wonderful job and with his co worker Dickel who drinks all his whiskey.

[@michelleraney3577]

I've had several old radios restored, but he really went above and beyond. How awesome of him to do that for you!

[@lizarnold87]

I watched as he fixed it....and I have watched several other of his projects.....he is a master....so glad you got it restored

[@PaperandMoose]

True comment Liz!

[@kathyluty6035]

My grandma would sit in the rocker and listen to her radio next to her. Her favorite serial was The Lone Ranger and she liked to keep up on the news and weather.

[@anthonynash2899]

What a great guy buzz is, great to see saved from the trash 👏👏👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@deannamarie4149]

True story. In Saginaw Michigan is a radio staion. 94.5 The Moose! ☮

[@justjudycrafting7401]

He did an amazing job. My day had a box full of tubes for all our tv’s and radios. He could fix them himself. He was the smartest man I knew. I loved the old ads. You could buy a radio for 25 cents down and 25 cents a week. That was so funny.

[@verettejones9510]

Hello Renee. Buzz did a fabulous job on the radio. It’s beautiful 😍. And takes you back to those wonderful days when you sat I listened to all the programs on the radio. It’s so cool. And he does some amazing work on it . I watched the process and he is amazing to watch. Enjoy your radio . Stay safe and well friend ☕️☕️☕️☕️🐈🐈🐈🐈💕💕💕💕💕📻📻📻💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@PaperandMoose]

Glad you watched Buzz's videos on the restoration! Hope you have a great weekend Verette!

[@stephenritz5581]

Steven Wright has a joke that goes something like, "I have a friend who's a radio announcer. You can't hear him talk when he walks under a bridge." I was so happy when one of our cars came with satellite radio. My kids finally got the joke and experienced that moment of "AM" silence. Usually happened as the murderer was being announced or the Dj was reading the lottery numbers. :). Great job saving it, Renee - and restoring it, Buzz. I'm so happy that in this day of VoIP and circuit boards that people still appreciate these one-time, almost miraculous contraptions. I will admit, though, a cell phone with tubes would be a bit unwieldy. And hot.

[@jimvanhooser2729]

Loved your video and especially the slide show. Well done!!! Buzz did an excellent job restoring your radio but, then again, all his restorations are great. He's the one that got me interested in watching your channel!!!! Buzz and I go way way back!!!!

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

What a wonderful thing Buzz did for you. The radio is so special

[@jacobashepherd3397]

What wonderful from Buzz , I love the old radio 📻

[@Jonathan_Taylor]

Buzz did a great job here. It looks like something that Johnny Cash might have had in his bedroom growing up, listening to June Carter and her sister sing..

[@antoinettesmart7109]

Amazing and so are you. Great piece of the past. I am going in for an operation tomorrow so I will be looking forward to you keeping me company this weekend. Stay safe and thank you for sharing!

[@PaperandMoose]

Will be sending positive thoughts your way tomorrow!

[@markjones8406]

I watched all 3 videos of this restoration and Buzz just seems like a darn good guy and is pretty hilarious! Heck of a job he did there! What a generous fella! I'm so happy for you, Renee! It just shows that being an authentically kind person like you attracts kindness from others! And I also just want to acknowledge that your gratitude to others is really admirable and something folks should take note of! On to the weekend! I have many estate sales to hit up! Hope you do, too! Best of luck in your pickin'! - Mark

[@ontariopicker6343]

Renee, re-check the tube and see if the tube replacement has the exact number as the one that got broken as you need the same to replace it, also it sounds like the radio needs new caps (capacitors thus the humming noise - maybe something came loose in the shipping as it sounded great after he finished it - any radio repairman can help you with that. I commend Buzz for putting a clear back plate on the radio so Moose's fingers dont get in there when its on as you might get a jolt! Some of these radios didnt have backs for better cooling as the tubes do get hot at times (good idea Buzz with the air holes!) Enjoy the radio!

[@PaperandMoose]

Buzz sent the replacement tube, I'll have to do a little more checking inside to make sure nothing is loosey goosey. Perhaps a piece of glass is wedged somewhere, as there was glass all over inside and I thought I was able to get all of them out.

[@cordiscoscorner]

VERY VERY cool. Now I know why I like GOOD time travel movies and shows !!!!! Craftsmanship, style, classy, beautiful and useful. SIGH---Those days will never come back.

[@tammyroyal7547]

Buzz did a totally awesome job!! It has such a presence!! A reminder of times gone by. Love the slideshow at the end!! So cool!! ☺️💖

[@crystalwolf3739]

Good job Buzz!! So cool to do that for free for Moose. Thanks for sharing :)

[@tammyreeves168]

I’m so glad to see the radio as you receive it back from Buzz. I watched as he worked on it on his channel and enjoyed every second of it. Such a shame that even with his wonderful packaging it arrived damaged. I’m so glad he thought to send another tube just in case. What a wonderful person he is. Stay safe and God Bless

[@jeannejett2299]

What an extraordinary person to fix & restore Renee's radio for her. Thank you Buzz! We can all take a lesson from you in true human kindness.

[@PaperandMoose]

Buzz is one a kind!

[@brendajensen4368]

Love Buzz, I waited anxiously for each repair video.

[@marypinheiro2713]

That is so amazing. How lucky you are to have this treasure. ❤

[@larryboysen5911]

I bet it is the Auburn! Very nice re-birth! Real fine video into the past...never lose your love of history! Although I have donated some 48 restored table radios to the Museum of American Heritage in Palo Alto, Ca., I still have a fine collection of sets. Recently was given a 1912 Victor Victrola in stunning quartered oak, sounds great with my collection of early Victor recordings of the 1903-1924 period! Will be getting two more machines as well as the collection of 1926-1938 tin plate Lionel Trains, from my late friend's estate. Don passed away at are 87 in September. Planning that floor layout featuring the Lionels this Christmas. Don was a dedicated Victrola and toy train collector. Sadly, most young people have little or no interest in history or vintage items. Most of us are gray or bald who collect and research, you, Renee are an exception, young and historically minded! And definitely not bald!

[@nascarmommam5915]

The radio looks great, perfect with the glass back. So kind of you Buzz. Great work. ~ Texas

[@maryzylema9699]

Your a great guy Buzz ! And that is a amazing radio !🤗

[@stephanieamir2538]

Oh Renee, once again an enlightening video.....I also find your choice of music for the slide show relaxing.... Cascade take me away☺️😁😎

[@elizabethfrederick2434]

Fun story. My Mom was classical music and Dad was country n western. One goes by the radio-knob turns-classical--- other goes by and knob turns and country n western. This goes on for a while then Mom goes by and shuts the radio off. I did not like it them but now I reolize how silly it was.

[@TheLoneHaranger]

Chapeaux bas to Buzz. What a true gentleman and wizard craftsman. It warms the cockles of the heart hearing about others with the same passion for history stepping up to bat for you. Fortune favours the prepared, doesn't it? Those older radio sets are classic architecture and design, from an era of quality. I am particularly green with envy, Renée, that you can enjoy such a beautiful artifact - that still works! - on your shelf. Now I know what I want next. My folks had an old AM radio a bit more recent to that, when I were a lad. What a travesty to think it probably ended its days in the landfill. Doesn't bear thinking . . . Between you, me and the gatepost I half-expected something like FDR speaking about 'a day that will live in infamy' coming out of the speaker. (Yeah. I watched a lot of Sci-Fi shows way back . . . ) Much gratitude for sharing.

[@deborahfogel3689]

What a great heart Buzz has. Quite simular to yourself. ❤️

[@daleburrell6273]

...it's nice to see that you are pleased, Kiddoo!

I'm bursting with happiness to see it restored. Beautiful, and it still works. ❤🐨

[@jeffmame605]

Wow that was my favorite radio you found and now it has a great story!!

[@klassicalfreak]

Just to hear that radio hum brought a tear to my eye.

[@kennethbrantley5088]

Thanks for your fabulous presentations and truly enjoyable entertainment. It is a great feeling to have something truly old restored and functional. I just got my great grandfather’s pocket watch repaired and functioning. What stories they could tell

[@deliveryguyrx]

I loved how he restored the radio cabinet and didn't do a 're-stain' which would have taken away from it's value.It has some cool patina now! Late night project: Stay up late with a warm beverage of your choice and see how many stations you can receive. AM 'skip' is pretty neat.My guess is that you can pull in WBAL 1090 in Baltimore.Let me know,please!

[@jameskurowicki9488]

Renee what kind people you have on your page so refreshing to see

[@margretbjornsdottir3444]

You lucky girl, what a beautiful radio an historical find. Buzz was very generous to help you with this beautiful piece of history. Thanks for sharing

[@camaberdeen694]

This was just wonderful. I was quite emotional by the end of the video - I had goose-pimples from watching this lovely old radio with ghosts from the past speaking to you and us again. A master work from Buzz indeed, combined with you saving this priceless object from being lost. Thank you for this special video.

[@SheriMiller-lw9xu]

Absolutely beautiful restoration!!!❤

[@staceymcghee77]

Renee, This was wonderful! Everything about it, from beginning to present. Buzz was a delight to listen to. I will continue to check in on his channel. Keep doing what you do. I hope one day you can stop doing your traditional job so you can do this as your heart desires.

[@PaperandMoose]

Buzz is amazing! I'll never be able to restore a radio, but perhaps I can at least learn some editing tricks like he does.

[@deborahfogel3689]

That radio turned out so beautifully 😍 I think I remember if you get them to slot of other things running on electricity the static buzzing is worse. 🤷❤️

[@Hossluver_Gal]

Wow!! GREAT WORK, BUZZ!! What a find!! 👍👍👍

[@nanharrison2997]

This radio was my favorite out of the 2 that you found. Good luck getting the bulb in and enjoy🧡

[@annj3811]

I have a “thing” for old radios. This was great along with the wonderful music at the end! My dad listened to Fibber McGee & Molly on the radio so his nickname was Gee.

[@peggsargent7192]

Wow I love what he did looks great

[@TheVintageBumbleBee]

What a wonderful gift from Buzz. ❤ don't let the broken bulb get u frustrated Buzz. Also, I found it fitting that the radio "buzzed" when you turned it on!

[@BrandonCiCi]

What a nice story ❤️

[@lorrainekeith5679]

Amazing restoration.I think your enthusiasm makes all the difference too,Renee.

Beautiful restoration! So glad it's back where it belongs 🙂 Your joy is contagious Renee and I really enjoyed this video. You have such a deep appreciation of the "soul" of old things. Loved the past/present segment at the end. Wish we could still get something for 9.95 with .25 down and .25 a week!

[@daleburrell6273]

...you need to remember that back THEN, "$9.95" was hard to come by- unlike nowadays, when that'll barely even buy LUNCH-(!)

[@DonVDBorgh]

Looks great. I've seen some as well where the box is emptied of the old tubes and more modern receivers are retrofitted in. Get the classic look with modern reception & sound. Also, the little Christmas tree looked good also 👍👍.

[@PaperandMoose]

That's the ceramic tree I leave up year round!

[@virginiaswafford7078]

Such a beautiful soul to do this to save a part of history. I think the couple that had your treasure first is smiling down thanking you for the rescue. I can just see the couple listen to it on Saturday night. I think this by far is my favorite. You brought them back if only for a moment. It's sad that people just throw things away it's memories that they are throwing away. But then we have you so thank you.I love art deco.

[@CaptLiberator]

Wow. That's a great radio. Treasure it always!

[@weebellsbells5194]

Loved this video.

[@carlafisher8946]

I bought a big Zenith radio years ago, one of those furniture sized ones, probably early to mid 40's. I plugged it in while it was still in the back of my truck. After it warmed up, it picked up a baseball game, clear as a bell. It could have been coming from the 40's, that crackily tone coming thru the speaker. Very eerie, yet very cool. Love the old radios, and record players. Great job Buzz, and Renee!

[@PaperandMoose]

I personally love the sound of the "click" when you turn it on. That doesn't occur that much now in new technology!

[@brettona123]

Such a nice radio! Well done Buzz.

I have a small wooden art deco style radio given to me by a former boyfriend. Still works! One thing he told me was that it's better for the life of the tubes to actually turn it on from time to time. Hopefully you have local am channels that are nice to listen to. Love the slide show!
