great job, lockman!!! rember, don't rush!!! this old girl has been waiting for somebody to fix her up so that she will be around for another 70 years!! besides, i for one am learning alot myself!! the availabity for parts are greater now than ever!! thanks again and you folks have a great thanksgiving!!! regards, ed
Thanks John, I will be starting those bakelight block rebuilds very soon, probably next week.. I'm going to order some wire becasue the wire is frayed for the speaker connections. No sense of repairing it sense it will probably fray somewheres else. Did you notice this radio doesn't use a plug for the speeaker wiring. Thanks again for the encouraging woird! Have a very Happy Thanksgiving too!
Before it's over you'll come across more than one vintage radio that has no speaker plug. My daughter's 1934 Sparton Model 67 has no plug. It was sometimes a gentle wrestling match, but I was able to restore it without disconnecting the wires.
Rick, 21 videos and I've barely made a dent in this. The shadow meter took a lot of work and these little things like o-rings and tuner supports are simple, yet take time. Hopefully next week I can get the tuner secure, test the drive mechanism out for operation and then start on the electronics! Digital cameras are so great because it's all there in black and white, I mean all there in color!
