Love this occasional retro resto content. Love your work Hugh!
@HerenZu
Valve audio equipment has the warmest sound quality. It's so nice to listen to. I would like to see you fix more of your family stuff.
@SonyLabbaga
These old equipment need to be preserved. It is nice to see repair videos in these modern age of throw away culture.
@PaoloMarcelli
Mr Carlsons Lab is a great channel to learn everything about the repair and restoration of these old radios
@Lazy_Tim
I noticed the Techmoan tune at the end. Nice touch.
@FinnleysAudioAdventures
This is awesome! Please do more radio repair.
@oogiegoogie2826
Yes, please do more of this. Love watching repairs of old electronics. Even different eras of electronics leading up to today would be cool. We could see how the repairability changes.
@leecooke5527
Glad to see you going retro! We NEED more of this, please!!
@panagiotispappas1001
This is genuinely so cool! It’s all so complicated yet so simple and really fascinating to look at. My grandpa has a really old radio which I think works but it only played static last time I tried turning it on many years ago. I’ll actually try turning it on tomorrow and I’ll update you on this comment! Anyway I’d love to see you repair more old radios Hugh, it’s really entertaining.
@MrBrainFear
This was interesting. Glad you didn’t give up on it and finally got it working.

Wow , you have mad skills . My great aunt had a radio in her living room . It was a beautiful player . I don’t know it was but I am sure it was old . In the old days ,I am sure they would sit around the radio at night and listen . There was no tv , internet back then . She passed away in 1990 and her house was torn down . I am sure someone in the family had it !
@MindOfBrianna03
Yet more proof that "They do not make them like they used to."!!! I love that you managed to get this radio working again! On another note, you are (amongst a few others) a true inspiration to me when it comes to repairing, especially technology, things. So much in fact that I am working to convert a workshop shed in the back garden into a repair shop to help fix things and keep them out of the landfills! Thank you for making these videos and please keep them coming if you can as they are brilliant! Love from Britain! ❤
@Green_House
This repair brought tears to my eyes because I start my electronics hobby with valves back in the mid 60's.
@neds95
Please repair more of these! This is very interesting, and it is so satisfying seeing 50+ years old tech working after all these years.
@jfedor3407
That's a cool old piece of history!! Thanks Hugh Jeffery's!
@andoletube
Yes, more of this, Hugh! It's a valuable public service to keep knowledge of old technology alive.
@jbehitech
What a pleasure it is when you repair something that is 86 years old, well done.

I am a bulb collector here in USA. I do dig vacuum tube items, mainly audio amplifiers. I am about to undertake re-capping and resistor-ing an AO-28 pre amplifier for my Hammond C-3 organ with a Leslie 22-R cabinet I modified into a 2 speed rotors 122. I got that pre-amp from a scrap and surplus store cheap a year or so before I got the organ! I am glad I did, since I can now install the recap kit from Tonewheel General Hospital online into this spare pre amp and swap it with the original in the organ and then get another kit to recap it as a well, and have it on hand. Hammond used top notch capacitors and resistors, and the ones in mine still work decent but are overdue for a replacement. But the quality shows! Most radios and TV’s, as well as audio amps typically used cheaper lower quality caps and resistors to save costs to keep the devices inexpensive. OH-your radio tubes are in a series string, and the radio has no power transformer to step tube B+ voltage to the high, above mains voltage you mentioned. The dial lights in series with the tube heaters means that they are in series and max voltage inside is mains. The “light bulb” is actually a resistive ballast that limits the series tube heater current (amps) to a max value in case a tube heater shorts. The single and double numbers in the valves/tubes identification are the heater voltages, and if added up from all tubes and the dial lights, it will come to the mains voltage, in our case 110-125 volts, yours 220-250 volts! 😋 cheers from USA! Subscribed! 👍🏻😋
@LukePaton
I love that you are helping keep the art of repairing these radios alive. I recently made a kit valve amplifier from Silicon Chip, probably the last published in Australia and I may have acquired the last of the kits. It was incredibly satisfying to get it going and then make an enclosure for it.
