  • A great video John.

    I have done this, but never coiled the leads. I will do that in the future.

  • @TundraWalk3r,

    I'm glad it helped.

    One of these days I have to redo this vid. My camera is better and I now use editing software. I'll try to get to that soon.

    Thanks for watching.

    Regards,

    John

  • I'm so glad I found your video. I am attempting my first repair of a 1953 Zenith clock radio and you have just helped me very much. Thank you for the post!

  • @electriglider,

    Hello there. I'm also glad you found this video. You've reminded me that I need to finally get off my duff and redo it. I now have a much better camera and editing software to work with. Hopefully the results will be much better. I believe I'll do it this weekend.

    Good luck with your repair job and thanks for watching.

    Regards,

    John.

  • That simple suggestion rates 5 stars. A tip of the hat to ye!

  • @zahinh

    Now that I have a video camera and a good editing program I probably should redo this video. It was one of my first uploads...not such a good one. The quality sorta sucked.

    Thanks for the positive response. I hope the tip saves you loads of time.

    Regards,

    John

  • This technique has saved me from frustration many times, not to mention tube sockets and band switch terminals.

    Thank you for demonstrating and posting this tip.

    yes i love the Antique Radio Forum i go there a lot now they have helped me out a lot and they are a lot of good guy's on there 73's kc9kuh

  • @radiobigman47

    I watched your R-366 video. That's a very good looking unit. Beneath the chassis reminds me of my Hammarlund HQ-129X...not too complicated.

    Good luck with it and thanks for dropping by.

    P.S. Are you a member of the Antique Radio Forum? If not, it would be to your benefit to join. You'll find the folks who frequent the "Communication Section" to be very helpful.

    Regards,

    John
