Great points here. At my new workshop, I'll have time and room to get back in there and replace the candohm and dial light covers. Lots of my spare parts are in storage currently and are hard to get to.

That means a lot to me, thank you so much! I'm glad others find what I do entertaining. I haven't talked to the old owner about doing that haha. He did seem very happy when I sent him a video of it working and cleaned up.

@@televisionforeverhey i’m wondering, do you do restorations for people? If you do then i am wondering if you could restore my old grundig tv from 1956?

@@JuliusTheDetective I have done repairs for people in the past. It all depends on location because shipping sets would be very very expensive. If you'd like, you can send me an email at jacksaundersisme@gmail.com to see photos of the Grundig set.

@@televisionforever okay Thanks! :)

@@televisionforeverhey! its me Julius, i have a question! I got my old tv to work and i’ve seen that you have gotten your tv’s to show movies/shows from the 1950’s, how do you do it i Wonder?

Nah it's like the whole journey vs destination argument. All the fun comes from getting them back in working order, esp since there's so many AM stations still around

@@john_barnett Great, meanwhile your kid has popped the hood on your car, and is pulling out fuses and relays and ignition wires and taking off filler caps and throwing them everywhere all over the place because it looks fun. In the morning when you have to go out to work and find your car won't work, don't think of it as reality standing in your way to vex you and give you yet one more problem you have to now solve... think of it like the whole journey vs the destination argument. You'l be journeying all over your front yard looking for little black plastic objects in the grass. All the fun comes from getting them back in working order, and think of all the right wing talk show AM stations you'll be able to listen to on the way to work when you finally get all those fuses and wires back in and caps on. And if you don't like talk radio, well, there's still one music channel, that Opryland clear channel flamethrower out of Nashville! Meanwhile, Choppergirl be clicking on your instant music choice on demand of mp3's on the desktop or search terms pulling up KZfaq remixes :-) Static free. Can you Coherer that? :=_ I h8t3 all journeys now, I just what sh1t to work. It's an age thing. In the end you want no more journeys, just for sh1t to work out of the box all the time. Industry, don't sell me any more "crrrp" lol. Ypu know what would make these AM radios fun again. If the FCC opened up that spectrum for anyone at all to broadcast on without a license. Yeah. Like cable free access. Where you could fire up your 6 tube vacuum set and hear the kid across town in Sandy Springs using an old Pentium to stream his own pirate AM radio station of mp3 playlists. Then your vacuum set would be mondo cool once again like the golden age of radio.

@@choppergirl I think I find joy in the tedious restoration process. So much of my life and career is dominated by instant gratification and it's honestly very depressing. Taking on a project that takes time, brain power, and working with my hands, makes me feel good and believe I have a skill that separates me from others. I do like to listen to AM at night while winding down. There's still a few stations in Atlanta worth listening to in my opinion. I do agree the FCC should ease back on restrictions, especially in rural areas where AM is essentially dead.

i dunno i think youre watching the wrong channel. this guy repairs radios and tvs from the 1920s to the 1960s. this take has no place on this channel. its just like how i love old cars. ive been working on my 1948 cadillac for a couple of years on and off and it has cost me alot of money, time and effort. and people who are not into old cars ask me why i bother and not just buy a new car that already runs "it just needs to take you from A to B". and i tell them its because i think they are really cool and fun to drive. you dont have to have more of a reason for it. thats what hobbies are. and if you dont do anything for fun youre going to be a miserable person. and project it on others to take their fun away too...like youre doing right now. why are you arguing about if someones hobby is worth doing?

@@choppergirl 74 here and I ain't readin' all that. How's that for competing for my attention 😂

That’s what I suspected, him making his Zenith complete while throwing replacement parts on this one
