Now I know how to get paint splatter off old radios. Very nice radio restoration.

for some reason, all of my westinghouse radios, (4) all needed speaker repair, like yours, except one, which I reconed. the others I had to glue the diaphram under the cone (called the spider) and some cracks, I find it best on some cases to recone, but some others only reqiure some glue! LOL thanks. nice radio, Im jealous.

Thank you, I very much enjoy your clips. I have not done anything with electronics since high school electronics class in the late 60’s. At that time I had a 1936 Philco console radio that I only partially restored. My favorite memory of electronics devices from the 30’s and 40’s is the smell. Just something about the old wire and wax condensers and heated dust. What fine memories for me. Thanks again.

Hi Rick

Well done, the radio looks really smart. I can understand why you fixed the lead the way you did, I would have made the mains lead as a permanent connection to the chassis and avoid the joints but that’s based on the code of practice for higher European voltages.

Thanks for paint removal tip it looks like it works well but I can’t find Sanolax on the internet is it Sanolax or Senolax?

Kind Regards ... Andy

Hey Andy,

I have had a few questions about Sani Wax, so I just now put the link to their website in the more information of this video. I have been using Sani Wax for years and it is great stuff.

Regards

Rick

Nice job Rick!

Curious about the wax for getting off the paint drips. Is it called: "Sinowax"?

Also great job on the power chord as well.

I really enjoy your informative videos.

Thanks,

Rick,

That is a good-looking unit. I really like your repair vids. I still remember the first one I saw..the Silvertone battery operated. Since then a pile of vintage radios have gone under the ole repair and restoration bridge. My next project is yet another basket case. Wait til you see it.

Thanks.

John

Thanks joernone

Hey John,

I've had my share of basket cases. This one was in great shape and no one had been into the radio before. It was like taking a vacation.

Regards,

Rick

Nice project. Is that cabinet bakelite?

[AllAmericanFiveRadio]

Thanks Barnekkid

Yes it is bakelite. It had color swirls in the bakelite to make it look like wood.
