Hello and welcome folks
In this restoration I'm repairing / restoring a 1955 Astor Vintage Radio for a friend with limited cash to spend.
I was instructed to only do the minimal work required to get this running.
The radio is running but it should of had all the capacitors replaced and resistors checked.
I'm sure there will be some die hard radio buffs out there that will tell me I have done something wrong in this video

Save money by restoring old radios and make some cash on the side. This could be a side hustle to make a little extra cash on the side.

No criticism here. My nostalgia levels skyrocketed when I saw the tube tester. My only 'criticism' is that you allowed the owner/client to dictate the level of the restoration. Yes, I know that this is your livelihood, but dang! I would have LOVED to see a full restoration!!! The old electronics are surprisingly durable & reliable. I'm not at all surprised to see that radio required only minimal repairs to be restored to operating condition. Good job!

Thank you once again J.L yes it would have been nice to do the caps, many people watching this video has commented about the same thing. When I do replace the caps I like to pull the guts out of the old ones and insert new ones so the appearance is original. It's time consuming but very interesting to watch. Most people watching though have no idea and I think it would have gone over their heads. Thanks for your comments they are always appreciated 👍

These Astors are rare as hell! Even the Diamond Dot Astor radios are mythical in rarity! It's just pure genius of the design of the radio, and it even tells you what state you want to tune in on based on the letter abbreviations.

The click, as you turned the radio on. The lights of the dail immediately coming on. The slow glow coming out of the back of the radio as the tubes were warming up. Then the hum coming from the speaker, followed by the music from the station. Turning the tuning knob to find another station. Hearing faint far off sound of other radio stations. Then the loud squeals and hums of radio interference coming off the neighborhood radios. Then finding that next station and sitting back to The Shadow, or Dragnet, or Ma and Pa Kettle. These were the Golden Age of Radio.

Beautiful finished product . I grew up in the 50s in Cuba and all we had was a radio, in which I heard many great shows of adventure and even the beginnings of Rock 'n Roll . My mom would listen to some soap operas at night. Warm memories of those times and of the tubes getting brighter when you turned it on . Had to wait for them to warm up before it came on . I think those radios were beautiful and still are. Would love to have one but radio today is nothing but garbage and commercials. 'd be nice to have one that picked up those old shows, like the one in the Twilight Zone episode ! = )

Love what you have done with the old Astor. I restore old electronic devices as well. Some clients ask me to keep the out side original, but make the "guts" modern such as bluetooth capable etc. Do you do that as well. Again, cheers on a job well done.

Thanks for watching Ordinary Man, very much appreciated. That sounds very interesting what you do. I have thought about doing something like you said but I'm not that clever. Please check out my latest video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJ2ffpqlt9nFnqM.html and tell me what you think 👍

Beautiful restoration. Brasso metal polish to shine up elderly plastic/bakelite - that's a new one for me. Thanks for the tip. And thanks for the video. Tom (from France).
