Thanks for the video Peter. I have restored a few tube sets and something I learned real fast is don't disturb the wires or it can get it out of alignment. I restored a philco once and I found a insulated wire stuck thru a hole on the tunning condenser and thought it was a mistake but turned out it was a improvised capacitor. Thanks 73.

Nice work again! I did this a while ago on a Blaupunkt radio. I replaced the selenium rectifier with diodes (I was able to fit them inside the old casing) and a series power resistor. It has electrostatic tweeters, I did replace the foam with 3 layers of felt from the dollar store ast they turned to dust. It works wonderfully!

So use to seeing you work on surface mount electronics. I was glad to see you work on a tube radio! Thank you.

Over the past couple of weeks I've had three 1960's tube radios serviced and all that was needed was replacing the capacitors, cleaning the switches, making an adjustments and they work like new again! It always saddens me to see people throw such things in the trash. By the way, I also put additional fuses between the transformer and the selenium rectifier if it is still working and has not been replaced with modern diodes.

Hallo Peter, ich habe schon unzählige Röhrenradios repariert aber so einen tollen Erhaltungszustand selten gesehen. Wie immer eine professionelle Reparatur und wieder ein schönes historisches Gerät gerettet. 73, DG3JA Jörg

Peter, 75 years is not long after "The Crazy Old Man" was in charge of Germany. It has done well, but now needs some love, that's for sure! 73's And Many Thanks for another great and interesting video. Warmest Regards, and Best Wishes. Wayne & Nina 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️

That was nice to look back at old point to point wiring. Thanks for the video Peter.

Nice to be able to work on a radio with a transformer. Just about anything in the US at a reasonable cost these days are All American Five (AA5) type with the chassis connected to the mains which always adds a bit of apprehension when working on them unless you have an old isolation transformer. Most of the problem capacitors are wax type that usually always fail and have to be replaced. I always enjoyed working on those older radios back in the day. Thanks for sharing Peter.

Nice repair as usual Peter, may you have a blessed new year!!! WD8JM

Oh that´s a fine one Peter. I love my old Grundig. I added a BT-module on the external input, but invisible inside. Yes, i know, some people start to scream now, but for me it is just one more good reason to use it on daily base. Very nice vid, Peter. Thank you! Gut gemacht Peter, merci. Alles Gute im neuen Jahr Dir und Familie! 73 de Olaf. PS. Ich hab Dir eine Mail geschrieben..

Happy New Year Peter. Thanks for all your instructional videos - have a great year ahead.

This is really a nice specimen, and good work!

It is nice to see that even 70 year old tar insulated caps still work.They didn't have a good reputation even 50Years ago. I wonder if our "modern" smd components will work as long. Have a nice 2024.😊🇫🇷

Beautifull radio! I wish I could find one in such condition. Thanks Peter Regards Lynton G4XCQ

Yes! - a very pretty radio to look at, but I admit I was somewhat surprised by how "untidy" the internal wiring was. Somehow I expected a German-made radio of that age to be a bit more "structured" and the wiring a bit more disciplined! 🙂

Merci for this video. In my opinion all the capacitors need to be changed. I generally leave only the micas and those in an oil bath. All those with paper and tar are cooked or will be quickly. Thank you again, I had a good time with your video.

Great to see you diversing away from Ham repairs . Any radio repair vlog is appreciated . Thankyou de vk2wgw

Hi peter they don't make radios like that now days those radios have some class and made to last thank you for sharing

It would have been nice to try all the bands on your Komtess for proper operation. Nice repair! Very nice video. Thanks, Peter.

Great video, thanks Peter!

Um belo Vintage, Ótimo 2024 a ti e familiares meu nobre.

nice radio,good job

TNX, and good 2024 Peter. 73

nice video

Happy New Year Peter!

Hello Peter thanks for your interesting videos they are very good. What kind of solder fluchs do you use? Thank you 👍

That is a very nice radio! Nice video! Question; starting about 12:20 when talking about the voltage selector switch, the valve seen down and to the left of the switch seems to have mercury or some sort of fluid inside. Is it a reflection or maybe a valve I'm not familiar with?

At 12:21 it looks like Mercury inside that BC80 tube or is that something else on the bench getting reflected?

Oh.... and your English is improving Peter. I believe we heard you say "SHIT"(?) 73's 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

28:50 А я бы сразу обошёл родной предохранитель. Пусть переключатель остаётся только для оригинальности внешнего вида.

Peter, demonstrieren Sie bitte, wie Sie die Parameter der Röhrenempfänger messen. Empfindlichkeit, Selektivität usw. Verwenden Sie wahrscheinlich keinen Funktester, stimmt dass?.. Es ist auch sehr interessant, die Einstellung des Zwischenfrequenzwegs, die Anpassung des Heterodin an die Skala und die Einstellung der Eingangsfilter zu sehen.
