 Okay, hello YouTube. Every brother and sister out there, guy and gal, whatever. Ah, hey there guys. I had a couple of junked radios given to me. This is from a Roberts. I can't remember which one it was because the case was junked at the back. It was pretty much covered in paint. So I just tried to get it working. At first it didn't work. I don't get anything particular on medium wave or long wave. I think the oscillators are going to be nuts. This has all been fiddled and puffed around with. I don't know if you can see. Probably not, but it's chipped. So someone's had a metal screwdriver in these cans. But I have myself because I managed to get FM working, but I'm not showing you this right now because it's all disconnected. This is another... this is actually a toolbox. And my mate, who's a painting decorator, it's never worked. The radio, he's had it for like years. I ripped the radio part off the toolbox and gave him the toolbox back. I took the radio out and this is the actual radio. And now it does work. It has a bit of an issue, but it does work. The wire is here. We've got a speaker. It's a 4-ohm. Oops, that's a bit of a capacitor. I probably shouldn't have thrown it on there. That's my old... that's the amplifier. We've got music. This is the little music player. Let's get in through this little amplifier, which is... I don't know if you can hear it, but I can. And that's what I want. It's just a little bit of music in the background. So as you can see by the speaker, it's managed to get quite dirty. It's a 4-ohm 2Watt. There's two of them. I cut this one off. Because when I got a bit of life out of this thing, it sounded so awfully tinny that I can understand why my mate didn't really care whether he had it or not, because it sounds terrible. But if you put an 8-ohm speaker on to it, even though, I don't know, it might be doing it some damage or something, it sounds a lot better. So just for the experiment, you know, I stuck the 8-ohm speaker on to it and it did sound better. And I'll do that again, isn't it? But I've left this one 4-ohm 2Watt speaker connected. I don't know which channel it is. It's left or right. And to be fair, I don't actually think that's connected anymore. Okay, so... I don't know if you can see that, but it's dirty. It's dirty, mucky dirty. Down a bit closer. Let's see if we adjust. It's pretty grubby. This is a Sony CX-A1691BM. No, I've not looked it up or anything just as yet. I don't know if you can see all this. It's really, really dirty. Let me turn this down a bit. Now, all of this music comes from this Jemendo. Jemendo, yeah? Music site where it's all royalty-free. You're going to give them some credit, so... For everybody that plays, I'll probably just copy and paste the whole list of stuff. That's in this... I call it open-source music, because, you know... I'm not getting a profit. I'm not getting a profit for what I'm doing. I'm just a pellet putting stuff on the internet, because everyone else is. That's all I can't like. Anyway, so back to the seriousness of the business. I've got a funny thing. This is the whole FM radio. As it doesn't appear to be any other IC or transistors on here. I don't know if you can see in there, but as you can see, look... There's not a great deal to it. Pastors and doctor... IF pops. Cans, whatever you want to call them. Headphone jack. Oh, I can actually pull that off, can I? I'll probably take that little board off and use that myself. Just an ideal thing, but... I don't know if you can... I don't know if you can see inside there. And the little coils. But the wax... At least I think it's been in perfection. You know, even if it's just a bag of poop, I get to salvage that tuning capacitor. And as I've been building little radio circuits and stuff that are coming quite handy. Because they're a lot of three and a half pounds to buy up for eBay. That's bloody expensive. Considering I can get... Well, okay, let me have a look at that capacitor. Considering I can get like a Super Hedgstein radio sent from China for three and a half pounds with a tuning capacitor in it. And of course with the spare parts. I've got one, but I've had to decipher a little bit of Chinese to... To know where to put the RF cans. The potential parts, whatever you want to call them. I call them transformers. But I know which ones go where now. So I'm going to finish building that up and they... With this, the actual capacitor didn't work. It was stiff, it wouldn't move. And when I did move it, it just bent up the dielectrics in between. I've chucked it all out now. I wish I'd... It's part of it here. Because I took it apart. So I wanted to see what was inside, but I chucked all the rest of the bits out. I've only got this bit. There's only this... There's only this little bit left. It's one of the... One of the plates, parts of the plates. Yeah. So I chucked the rest of it out. Maybe I should... Took it apart and showed people, but... I'm the next one. The next one that I get, that's damaged or whatever. Yeah, I've got one here, but... I don't really want to take it apart because I use it for my little AM radio. I've got another one here. I like this one. Yeah, nice bit of kit there. I like that. I'm going to get myself some special cleaner for it. And go all posh on it, you know. Oh yeah, look at this one. It's spanking. I'll salvage this the other day. I'm going to build computers and fix some stuff. And this was a gaming machine that came in. The board was naked, so I built it with a new machine. They let me have the old machine. So I got a nice graphics card out of that. I put that in my computer because I had a nice G-Force 780. A nice graphics card, but I sold it so I could buy me a silencer. So I'm not allowed to have too many things for getting trouble out of. Look at that look. So I can put myself a little MOSFET CVS drive on there. And the warmer it gets, the more it will cool it. I love scrapping some of these machines, but... Yeah, I've lost track now. What the hell am I going on about? So yeah, this is my little Super Hedgehog on radio. It's a Chinese little jobby. I'm just waiting for this other capacitor that they're sending me, apparently. But I've got one of my cans, I'm going to pop them on, and that's all ready to go. But I believe there's a few solder connections. You've got a bridge across for it to actually work, which they don't tell you. Well, they do tell you, but it's in Chinese. Unless, you know what I say in Chinese, it's in Mandarin. Unless you understand Mandarin and can, you know, do that language. Which I can't because I'm quite ignorant. There you go, anyway, so that's a little job going to get finished off. It's always good to have these. It's always good to have little knobs as well, that'll turn them bloody things. So I like these little things because people chuck out these little radies, so they don't even think about it. To me, there's some good little parts on there for playing around with. You've got the switch for starters, which, done this one, is the issue. The old tuning capacitor. Of course, you get a knob. Always handy to have these knobs, I'm telling you. One handy. Anybody that's got anything you know that when you get near it, sometimes it makes a difference. But if you put a knob on there, it stops pissing about, messing about, puffing about, whatever. Nice switch. So anyway, it's always good to power this up something, get it squawking. This is the aerial wire. We've got a little aerial somewhere. There it is. This isn't the one-off it. I think this comes off that little radio. I can't remember. This one comes off that little radio. And I suppose I could just change those out. Even though it doesn't look it'll fit. It's different size. I've noticed that a few times with these aerials from China. Got a couple of little kits here. I'm a bit confused about ordering them, because I don't actually remember doing it, at the clock, and I think this is a clock too. And the reason I say that is because look, it's got no thing to put the battery, which means it's memorising something. And they've got displays as well, which gives an indication of how many of these things have I bought? Ah, look, there's a crystal there, so let's pull it out so we know a little quick look. I know this ain't getting around to sorting this little radio-receiving thing out, whatever. I'll tell you what I bought off eBay the other day. I bought a Benito in 1960s. I think it's a 7 or 9-band receiver. And I'm really looking forward to getting it. I paid £8 for it, and then about £4 or £5 shipping. And I'm really looking forward to getting it. Ah! I'm even that frustrated when you've ripped through the plastic rather than the ceiling part open. What is this? Ah, right, I see, yeah. I understand now what it is, yeah. I can't believe this video is 13 minutes long and I've done nothing. Right, okay, so you get wasted time projects, this was a wasted time video. And really, it's pretty sad I'm meeting people and not having a great deal I was to do. You don't laugh at me, it's pretty sad for you lot watching it. But, yeah, so that's that. That looks interesting, doesn't it? We'll have to build that and power it up and see what it does. Just not right this minute. So I'm supposed to be flapping around with this radio. I'll put that there, but I've got another one here as well. So it's in the diode. Momentary switch. We've got a bit of a chip IC going on there. There's going to be a clock in it. It's going to be, I don't know what it is. I still reckon I should put a breathalyzer on eBay. I've made a big hole in the bottom of this now. All the components are going to fall out. Ooh. Are you joking? Haven't I just built one of these? How do you know? I'm sure I just don't know. I really need to lay off the pop idea. I'm sure I've just done that. Look at this, look. What have we got going on here? Ah, it's not the same thing. Okay, that's not so bad. But it does look quite similar, doesn't it? I've got the same thing but it's slightly different shape. Ah, no, no, no, no. This one hasn't got one of these bloody awful noise things on it. Okay, that's more promising because I don't think there's a noise thing unless it goes here but it doesn't look like the same round symbol as that one's got. Because this is just awful. This is like a clock which doesn't have a battery backup anywhere. Which maybe I could adjust that. Oh no, look. It's 12-volt input. Oh, sorry. I shouldn't swear. Between 12-volt, sorry, 12-volt input. And this one. Oh, this is the same thing. But it's got a battery backup. So if I've got a battery backup on here with 12-volt input, I should be able to hack this with a battery onto it, shouldn't I? I wonder if I can figure that out by looking at how this is an entry work out if it's the same. Especially if they're the same ICs. 889C2050. 889C2051. 2051. My life, these are the same. So do you know what we're going to do? Not right now. But what we're going to do is because this takes a battery backup system, I'm going to put a battery backup system on the back of here and hack into this chip where this one leads in the battery backup system onto here, whatever it takes necessary. I'm going to make this one battery backup too. But just not right now. Because right now the video's got too long and we're not even going to look at this radio. We're going to do that in the next one. We're going to sort out why that's not actually switching on. Even though I've not wired it up. So trust me, this thing does not work. And we're going to get it working. Anyway, I'm sorry for not actually doing anything in particular. And I shall see you in the next one when we will do something. I love it. It's getting more and more like English every time I look. Yep. More and more like English. So I can't believe how many times crack time and how little I've done. And I shall see you in the next one. Bye for now.
