 Hey YouTube, I built this little, it's a Philips TDA 7000 FM radio stereo radio It's only configured in the mono fashion, I'll put on a little LM386386, I think that's what it is here Mono audio chip there As you can tell it's not really good for the tune, but it pulled up order It's very... The connections are absolutely terrible Let me just turn that down, the connections are absolutely terrible so it's... Not very good It only really gets a couple of stations, very good but... Yeah it was not... yeah it was a bit of a wire Yeah it's a little capacitor there It's hard to know how to set one of these up or it's not because there's a few circuits out there Quite a few circuits really, sort of showing... But all the time I don't know what... what capacitors to put in, you know, ceramics or film or... And it's down to the limited range that I've got as well so... I'm a little bit limited to what I can do I suppose I better not do that because the bloody copyright police I don't know how long that's been on for, I forgot I might have to cut it a bit or something Yeah so... but as you can see it works I got the chip for a couple of quid off eBay, I'm not sure it was a real one or not A lot of them were like £4, £5, £6 I found one for a couple of pounds Just building that on the socket board It means of course all of the connections are not very good or some of the connections are not very good And that does make a bit of a difference but I think all of this would make a big difference This is a very... in-professional way of setting one of these up I actually use this thing in here, it's called a tuning diode And that's how I can get away with using a part here instead of a tuning capacitor I'm not sure exactly how it works, it's like an IC type thing going on there so... And I'm going to try it with a capacitor as well I'm going to try it a different way, I just thought I'd give this a little go See if it would do it, if I could get it to work It was a little while ago, I did get it to work but I didn't get any stations But I hadn't set up this little tuning diode, I had to get that But anyway, I'd ordered the diode so we had gone with the diode So, I'll get a couple of stations Let's see if that's like two, then there's like a chap talking but it's... Because of the way this moves, it's not really good for... I'm getting quite fast because I know there's nothing there I'll have to play around with this little... This little coil down here I'm pretty sure what's down there is just what's up there So that's not very good, is it? But we'll visit all the way back There's a couple Doesn't sound too bad either It did sound a lot tinier, I tried it a little bit I had the 100nm farad here And I'll swap that out now for a 100 mic That sounds a lot more bassy No idea, I wonder what anybody would look like with a chimney on them Anyway, so there's my little attempt, my first configuration For a TDA 7000 FM radio IC Cheers, Washington guys
