I'm glad to see he changed the bad caps on this one like he should have done on all the radios!

[@OldCanadianguy953]

Those NOS caps you have there, purchased from an old stereo store, I'd probably toss them. Aside from any value for aesthetics they're probably all leaky and worthless. 73s

Mr. Carlson did a much better restore on a Baby Champ receiver. May have a weak set of tubes.

I don't believe you soldered the cross the line cap on one end.

[@Tom-vj7oi]

I noticed that too

[@998cooper]

The poor things. No doubt they'll end up in the garbage like the majority of his restorations.

[@michaelmacdonald3408]

I thought about the cost of repair to the cost of cheap appliances.

[@michaelmacdonald3408]

In NZ there pushing through parliament that consumer appliances are to be repaired rather than thrown on the tip.

[@OldCanadianguy953]

Good luck with that. Today's modern electronics are not only unrepairable due to components being sole-source from the manufacturer, the manual repair skills to do anything constructive at all with modern surface mount electronics is far beyond 99.9% of folks.

Hello I watch your videos and would like to buy a vintage radio from you please get in touch with me

[@Tom-vj7oi]

Jim doesn't read these comments, email him. The radios he repairs are for a "second hand" store in Toronto. You'd have to buy from them.
