It sounds very loud LOL, I mean it makes that somewhat big speaker (for the size of the radio, at least) work without problem, but my guess is that the volume is very loud because it is an 8 or 4 ohm speaker instead of 40 ohm, that's weird, did the radio overheated when you used it with that speaker? I guess you can get something to fit inside around 16 ohms out there, some kind of midrange speaker of a home stereo or something.
I don't know why the 60's-70's radios had much better reception + tone than the modern junk (from China mostly). My old ZENITH ROYAL 66s (AM only) from 1969 are still the best I ever had. GE Superradios from the 80's were pretty good, too.
Even Older car radios were better. My 1972 Chevy radio picked up way more with much less static than even my new high-end car radios.
@popvids40 I'm sure I've seen something like that, but GE made so many different radios it is impossible to remember the exact model numbers for them all.
0:07 nice rigging with the headphone cord I do that too. And you have some good radio stations in your area. many of the songs heard I liked. 40 Ohms? thats kinda high. and 0.2 watts isnt enough id put a 0.5W or even a 1w speaker in that radio. 3:42 whats the number on the IC chip there? 6:07 lol Jay-Z, Nice little radio I hope you can fix the speaker. Post a video of the radio after you fixed it.
Sounds good for such a small radio. And you seem to get some good stations on your area, stuff IS proper music. All the stations near here only play that soul crushing bleak depressing techno club stuff that goes "boom boom boom" all the time.
@CoolDudeClem I know the feeling, I hate lady gaga... Here in Alaska, the most common station formats are country, NPR, and girly (like Ke$ha, Katy Perty, etc,)
very good radio

I'm not exactly sure, but I think it was 91.5 WNYE, a public radio station which runs a variety of different programming.

And the Beatles in the start of the video with the song "A day in a life" :
- "Find the way up stairs and had a smoke. Somebody spoke and I went to a dream..."

I noticed it's also heard in the part where the radio is taken apart. What a coincidence! I wonder if it was on the same station.
