ZENITH FARM RADIO RESTORATION

Here we have an old 40's Zenith farm radio to restore. It was called a farm radio because it operated off batteries to be used in areas where electric power was not common. We will convert the radio to operate from normal 120 volt electric power.

[@juliannesermon8057]

Exactly this

[@antraciet]

Great ! You are back. Big thumbs up, love your vids !

[@GORF_EMPIRE]

Amazing to see someone who can simply look at these old units and know them like the back of their own hand. Inspiring stuff!

[@624radicalham]

Fastest, most precise solderer I've ever seen. This is a masterclass folks.

[@dennisqwertyuiop]

glad to see you back, come back soon, great tech,

[@craig1969ish]

Great video, I love watching you change the caps it’s so relaxing when you do it, when I’m doing it I’m holding my breath until they are all done. All of your restorations are beautiful. Thank you.

[@paulmathison2906]

Great to see you back with another great video. Please don't stay away so long. All the best!

[@goldenboy5500]

when it comes to old radios there are none more knowledgeable than you are

[@alexvaro8326]

You want to bet? Just look up Mr Carlson's lab and watch a real engineer at work. This guy is just a hack.

[@ricardosales864]

yeah !! Glaslinger, congratulations old war friend !! I loved your service on Zenith radio, it was great !! and I liked to see you adapt a transformer, because it didn't have! I liked Glaslinger very much my congratulations, all the best and hugs from your great friend Ricardo sales franz gunart.

[@ubb262s]

Your videos bring me back to the days when my father ,who started repairing radios in 1945 and then tv in 47 , taught me to work on these old sets , he's been gone for over 20 years, because of you , I started playing around with them again

[@batesy1970]

My new favorite channel. Thank you for letting us sit in on your work.

[@Series1969]

I got notification of a new Glasslinger video at work. Caught myself speeding to get home to watch it. Glad you are back!

[@MrGreenBentley]

Great to see you back on here working on the radios again. I ve watched all of your videos and learnt an awful lot from you. You make it all appear so very easy. I,ll watch this again and again. I currently own a Zenith transoceanic wave portable radio set. Beautifully built thing. Glad to see you here working on things once again. Paul from Ipswich Suffolk , Great Britain.

[@carlessalt]

Nice to see you again! Long time without your wonderful videos. Regards from the town of Salt, Girona, Catalonia, Europe.

[@teenagered3517]

Ron, I recline on my sofa here in England hypnotised by you wonderful videos!

[@henkromeijn6110]

Another Masterclass In Vintage Electronics Good Onya Ron

[@sudhendrarao3693]

Okay !! I think this old man is only one in the world who has so much knowledge about old radios, he is simply great, he can restore any old radios, in fact old radios find hope in him.

[@Egam]

Welcome back. Don't leave us again please, we need your excellent videos.

[@manolillo123]

Hello glasslinger, it is a pleasure to learn with your videos, I have never seen someone with such good knowledge with valve radios, a pleasure to follow .

[@pat3034]

You never fail to impress... truly you are a wizard! I just brought home a 1936 RCA farm radio and plan to do a similar conversion. Perfect timing with this video.

[@Barbarra63297]

What a sweetie kitty! So glad I found your channel, I know nothing about electronics but I find these fascinating!

[@PicaDelphon]

I love the Old Clock dial Face of these old units..

[@randywright8575]

You are awesome! You are a wonderful teacher. Your restorations are stunning. I would love to see a video showing your personal collection.

[@peterhaan9068]

I love to run your videos with the closed captions on and the sound off. It allows me to hear the screams of anguish, gnashing of teeth, followed by expletives of unbelief from the purists when your finished project works! There IS more than one way to repair and enjoy an old radio in your lifetime!

[@oid123]

Great to see you bumbling away! Great video, you really know you way around it.

[@rahoulzerohl]

Wow. you are so quick. A joy to watch!

[@Mike-nt7cd]

Yes on my birthday perfect timing🙂 I'm so excited to watch this video I saw this video I'm like no way. But it's just great to see you back

[@truck9moon100]

Welcome back my friend to the show that never ends. Very nice vid, hope lots to come.

[@christopherteter86]

Glad to see a new video from you from wichita kansas always enjoy your videos

[@alext9067]

Where the hell have you been? I hope you have not had any bad luck. Keep up the good work. Glad to see you back.

[@arnoldrimmer8008]

When he's gone for a long time. I'm afraid he has turned himself into a pile of carbon. This guy is the very definition of a mad scientist. :)

[@thenorthamericanphonograph1039]

Those old Zeniths sound great! The AM on modern receivers and expensive car stereos do not have the sound, nor do they have the clarity in the upper frequencies, nor the bass and presence these great old radios have. You can tell you have done lots of old radios! Your whole channel is so full of knowledge!

[@westburybear]

Sorted! No drama. Just done. Most excellent.

[@stephenwilliams5201]

Bascom ohio. Circa 1957-58 several farms had little money on hand. so the family's. Had to share labour. Each Saturday night till late November. There was a big feed.put on the table. The radio fed on 36 volt./delco/wind Mill gen and served by a delco gen running off a John deer poper. (Tractor by belt drive.) Every time Minny perl. Would hollar" howdy". The tractor would have a conniption fit. Trying to keep up. 1970 the farms were sold. Still miss the fun with Minny and Grandpa. Tks

[@ianbutler1983]

Thanks, glad you are back. Your channel is fascinating.

[@xraytonyb]

[@MrGesutton]

So glad to have you back!

[@mikek4043]

So glad to see you have started videos again.. THANK YOU

[@SilverMoonJoe]

Another awesome video and repair. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, time and friendship via your video. Joe - k4jga casselberry, florida.

[@AMStationEngineer]

Impressive, the whole way 'round! While nowhere near Zenith's most extravagant, this is one beautiful example, of what Zenith was able to do with great circuit design, and you've done a stellar job of giving it life, once again. I worked for a Zenith dealer in the mid - '70s; the owner had been with Zenith since 1934, and had been gifted with a Stratosphere at some point, prior to 1940. While that Strat was impressive, his favorite, was a farm radio - of an earlier vintage, with its power having been supplied by a vintage power supply - built within two wooden vintage Cooper "CV Sharp" cheese boxes.

[@BrumAdam]

Another great video from the maestro. Thank you!

[@stephenreeves9025]

just adding my thanks for what you've taught us and glad that your back

[@adrianames8590]

Amazing how quick you did the transformer conversion. Nice looking set! I enjoyed your video!!

4 hours? 4 hours? It would have spent most of that time looking for the plug only to realize it doesn’t exist. You have a great talent. Thanks for sharing.

[@frankbeans289]

Missed your videos,love what you do,keep them coming!!

[@dictare]

Thanks for coming back! We've been waiting!

[@shockandaweshockandawe9140]

OMG ... I had given up on Glasslinger. He's one of the original channels ( along with Shango066,radiotvphononut,ect) that I watched when i began restoring vintage radios a couple of years ago. I' m glad your back and hope your well.

[@kenwolfe6093]

Ron, as you can see.... Your subscribers are always happy to see any new videos you publish. Do you still have your glass working equipment? It would be very cool to see one of these commercial radios with one of your home brew tubes as part of the circuit. It can be as simple as an RF preamp, or part of an AF chain. Please continue!

[@MrADAMMIS]

Bardzo ładne kolczyki masz ! Czekam niecierpliwie na nowe filmy z remontem europejskich radioodbiorników. Pozdrawiam serdecznie

[@juliannesermon8057]

So happy to see you back!

All the best from across the pond.

[@kevin-vt7dw]

I have enjoyed every video so far and I just started to watch you break it down so even I can understand and that's saying a lot

[@RegiPavan]

Great to see you back!

[@chrishansen724]

We had a similar Zenith at home when I was a kid. The chassis was pure copper. Of course, the darned thing was too old to be in working shape and I think that the chassis was worth more than the radio in those days. It was a console radio, sat on the floor, had the same tuning dial but a muich larger speaker.

[@Jayf1981]

Zenith dial is attractive and what a clear sound for such an old radio.

[@proluxelectronics7419]

Thank you for taking the time to share your vast skill and knowledge, Please feed us more..

[@Ale.K7]

Great restoration, as always!

[@majordisappointment8692]
