Hmm. So you replace the Oil capacitors with mylar or ceramic types? It's a little obvious, but I don't want to mess up my Fujiya FL-771... It's never seen electronic servicing beyond a replacement tube.
Either way, you did a great job on this little project.
The number on it would most likely be a combination of letters, such as 12AX7, with the first number being the filament voltage. You might be able to find pinouts etc on the internet.
i tried that, but the numbers have been rubbed off of them, i'm trying to find out if one of them is the tube i'm looking for, i'm looking for a rectifier tube for a home-made record player i'm building
that's a generous offer, but i already identified them, none of them were what was looking for, and i also went ahead used solid state components instead
Did you ever do a video on soldering Irons that you are using. I have three old Kenwood maps and receivers I purchased on R&R from Vietnam and would like to make the repairs on them and need a new soldering iron.
I didn't see you do any soldering during the video.
I can hear Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome playing at the very start of the video, and I'm wondering why it's playing at a higher than normal speed? The pitch sounds highr than it should.
those burt resistors are either burnt because they are not of high enought wattage or when the caps went bad it shorted out causing high current/voltafe to go to the resistors, tubes and other vital parts
I guess tis is one of the 'bigger' jobs you have done, but it's totally worth it. What you have is quite rare and deserves the work you are doing on it - great job and video Ricky!
Really Really .... !!! enjoyed your video your doing what I always wanted to do thats a great old machine I wish I had the time space and work shop and money to do just what your doing somewhere nice and quiet ........ !!!!! great job I,am proud for you ..............
That's a lot of work! I have read that in re-capping, usually it's only the electrolytics that need to be replaced. What are the orange drops, mylar or something? What did you do about the can cap?
jUst as long as you don't bend the pins when inserting or removing the vacuum tubes, you sould be OK. I think vacuum tubes for portable battery powered radio are a little more fragile though.
Great job. That unit has to be rare. Just finding a TEAC tube recorder would amazing. Hope the resistors that got hot are OK. I wonder if it would be possible to find the wiring diagram? Thanks for pointing out the OIL capacitors, keep those in our collection. Hope the tubes are good!!

Hey there if you still need help send me some pictures of the tubes and il help out.

I didn't do a video specifically for these irons, but they are from RadioShack.

burnt resistors mean its been over heated and could be bad i would replace them my self.

I was using the Lloyd's clock-cassette-radio, and I had the speed set a little too high. I need to re-adjust it sometime.

Very nice!
I have that same desoldering tool and soldering iron. That desoldering tool seem to work better on circuit boards than on point to point wiring.

Doesn't it look funny when you spew the solder out? I think it does.

It looks more funny when you spew the smoke out of the sucker slowly. Makes me want to sing, "Because I Get High".

Great video very informative, I must get a de-soldering iron I still use a separate solder pump.

Is that one of those blue mechanical pumps with the plastic tip? I have one of those too.

I think they'd be mylar. I left the can caps in, but took the wires off them for the new 'lytics.

You don't have to handle tubes with kid gloves. They're pretty hardy.
Just don't drop them on a concrete floor... :-)
