Comment on which one you would like to see working and I will do a separate repair video on it.

Hey Shango, Mr Carlson's Lab gave you a nice shout out yesterday, thought you'd like to know.

What a contrast! Yesterday you get a glowing shout out from electronics royalty Mr Carlson with pristine workshop / lab👍 and you out in a dusty mountain dropping bits of the radios in the dirt and generally needing haz-mat protection from that chemical concoction you made but still getting results and old dead dogs working again. Thank you shango, your videos are always great and mind boggling as to how you work your magic. 😎👍

The day after “Mr. Carlsons Lab” mentions you on a transistor radio repair, you post 20! Haven’t watched the whole thing yet, but I’m sure the video will be fun as always.

And we got "Rick rolled" right at the end.

I proper pissed my sides at the bong reference

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down..." How appropriate.

"think of the bong you could make out of that." Fuckin wheezing laughing hard at that one. Zenith radio.

That oldies station is kicking! to go from Rick Astley to Toto, it doesn't get much better than that!

"Here's a vintage transistor radio. It has TEN transistors. Nine of which are diodes."

My votes are: the Wendell West, the one with the jewel on the front, the RCA. I'm almost done watching every video you've made regarding electronics, but I didn't read many of the comments. I didn't know that you were on Patreon, you might want to mention that in your videos OR put it alongside of your banner on your videos. Yes, I signed up. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and repairing items that I did NOT think you'd be able to fix. Congrats on your shout out from Mr. Carlson! Kudos to you! (I know you didn't ask, but some of my favorites are: You, David Tipton, RadioTVPhonoNut, XrayTonyB and others that I've probably forgotten. ) I hope that someone has archived these videos because 50 years from now, it will probably be a very small community of people working on vintage electronics, sadly. One last thing... was the beautiful site in your video in the Sierra Nevadas?

Not sure which one I'd pick, but maybe the Orange Federal 1.5 volt, the "Minimal Performer" looks interesting to see what it could do (If anything lol)

Nice tranquil spot for repairs. No bambulance & airplanes to break your concentration

I've seen these mountains on several episodes of Star Trek DS9 and Voyager.

The batteries cleaned up very nicely!!! Love your videos and humor! :) Thank you for sharing!

I quite like the look of the “North American” clock radio, mostly because of how bizarre it is.

Thanks for taking us out with you, a really interesting selection of radios too, looking forward to seeing some resurrections on these gems. The scenery looks like a Bob Ross painting, I could imagine him saying ‘and over here lives a big old mountain’

Beautiful venue Shang! What a peaceful place to do analysis on old transistor radios. Thanks for another cool video.

I love your videos, Shango. Always a wonderful and rewarding trip down memory lane!

The sound of the water is soothing my tinnitus. Love it.

This is somehow the exact kind of video I was wishing for. Watching this channel got me into small transistor portables though I discovered the channel with vintage tv stuff. Also yes to RCA but the Sony, Sanyo, and tiny Federal would be interesting choices too.

Those Duracells are definitely not Y2K compliant!

Mr. Carlson’s Lab just recommended your channel!! Awesome, you both offer such great videos. Of course you both do things differently but the end result is your viewers reap the benefit of some really excellent knowledge. Thank you.

I bought myself one ☝️ of those Sanyo’s, and my brother one ☝️back in 1983. This video takes me back in time. I was visiting my mom in Eureka, Alaska.

I have a Elgin radio that my dad had back in the mid 60's that still works just fine, has a Genuine Top Grain Cowhide case, that must of kept it working just fine. I use it in remembered of my dad (RIP) and his life as we were a dairy farmer family, and the radio played in the barn..9 volt, 10 transistors, made in Japan. Heavy for such a small radio.

Can’t wait for the repairs! Bring it ! Thanks For making videos .

I love the designs of old radios

Wendell-West and Sanyo with the 'jewel' on the nameplates were my favs here! Fortunately there is still ONE station to check these radios out where you are. It was a nice surprise to hear Paul Carlson of 'Mr. Carlson's Lab' recommend your channel ! You guys both do awesome work, and thanks for sharing your knowledge.

The videos I enjoy seeing the most are, 1 Tube TV restoration and 2, Tube or transistor radio restoration. But whatever the subject, as soon as I am notified of a new post, I just have to come and watch! Complements from Chris.

I love watching you repair these radio's I find these very entertaining I don't mind how long the videos are you keep doing what you do 👍

FYI - you received a shout out and recommendation from Mr. Carlson lab channel. Ricky from IBM, Ret.

That little Webcor 6 transistor radio was made by Toshiba, and is identical to my 2 Penney's sets models 6TP555 and 1132. They were great little performers and a high quality circuit. There are 4 electrolytics in there- B- rail filter, AVC filter, audio coupling, and driver transistor emitter bypass. Toshiba made that same radio under my brand names including their own.

Hi Shango. Cool spot you picked out.All my very best.

That Everyready 9V battery you missed likely wont react in Vinegar. It looks like the old Zinc Carbon battery which has an acidic electrolyte from memory. Was great to see all this fun stuff. I think that RCA is the one I would like to see recovered if possible :)

We had Candle in Canada for years. It was a brand of Jutan International (JIL), now Citizen Electronics, a division of Circus World Displays, of Niagara Falls, ON. They also own Fluance, Electrohome, First Alert, and a dozen other brands. The Candle stuff was along the lines of Lloyd's, Sound Design, or Longines Symphonette.

Great video! look forward to your videos fixing some of these radios.

I wouldn't mind if you did several videos on most all of 'em, but the clock radio, and the jeweled Sanyo would likely be the ones I'd tackle first. Thanks again for the videos, and peace :)

I really like your videos, especially the ones with old tvs !!

Congratualation shango....beautiful banorama ..amazing persoective of water Nd spring ... 🏵 Be happy🏵

what a beautiful place to stay...n you got really good treasure of radios out there.

19:30 A radium dial clock, classic. Radioactivity in antiques. During the production of radium dials, many workers who painted clock or instrument dials with radium developed cancer.

Great location. Would love to repair this stuff with a view like this

Now this is what I call a video! Out in nature, a clear river, mountains and analyzing radios! I wonder what that radio station was, recognized several of the songs, sounds like a great station to listen to all day. I like the Wendell West and RCA Victor radios, those would be good candidates for full repair.

I enjoy watching I was able to fix an old walkie-talkie by watching one of your videos I'm bridge a couple capacitors and found out I had two bad ones so thanks for the tips

Shango066, Mr. Carlson and Peter at TRX are my favorite channels. All very different from each other, but all are amazing.

Hi from the UK, I had one of those sanyo pocket sets (1st one shown) back in the early 80's when I was a kid, nice to see one again.

Portable transistor radio repair in the Mountain Wilderness! Great and relaxing! I wonder what your nighttime DX'ing could be like? Run a 300' random. In the air or along the ground....

I was expecting you to pull out a Regency TR1! Great video.

47:33 and he closes us out with a fringe "Rick Roll" alignment .....🤣🤣🤣

Man that place looks amazing, and that water is crystal clear. Does your buddy own the land or just the mining lease (or whatever)?

Love the video! Great look at a lot of future vids! I would vote for the Candle radios first....

Awesome location to relax repairing radios, of course! Btw, I have my theory regarding the Duracell leaks: I think it's the pressure that the battery holder spring applies to the battery bottom terminal that helps a lot to compromise the sealing, although they have been seek to leak while unused in their package.

Awesome video, love the location! I'm fairly certain the orange Federal radio was made by Panasonic. I had several small Panasonic pocket radios, one of which was a twin to the Fed, except it was red.

I would really like to see you try the one radio that only requires one battery

Shango. I really enjoyed this one. I needed a good watch. Thanks! I vote for the RCA

very impressive channel, didn't know people are still doing those pocket radios

Memories ! Thanks so much !

im glad im not the only one that enjoys making old failed batteries fizz :D please do it again as you find em

Little packages of Optimism. There is a tall office block a few miles from me dating from the same period, which has the look of an up ended transistor radio from about 1962. The building always makes me smile too.

I like your movies very much. I always look forward to the next one. Greetings from Poland.

Thank You shango. View was Great! i'm for Water _with sound_ any day. Lab wasn't bad either; I miss that about work.

The SANYOs are my favourites. Nice having a music station on am that plays good music like SOS Band.

Just a absolutely beautiful spot for a repair video! Those Duracell batteries use to be really good but their quality has dwindled to junk as they leak like a British car.

I heard that there was a 'Transistor Count' war for a time, they would throw transistors in to the circuit just to up the number. Sometimes using one as a detector rather than a diode.

Best shop I've ever seen.

When I got to Vietnam in 1970 I arrived with just a duffle bag of uniforms and my wallet, well I had a pocket full of change from the trip. We went through a money change line where all our green money was changed for Army Funny money, greenbacks were not allowed because they were real money and the black market would pay a premium for the good stuff. There was a wall next to the change house where everyone threw the pennies as they were not changed, the smallest bill we had was a 5 cent bill. When I got to my unit, I was sent to a room in the barracks and the guy who was leaving asked if I wanted a radio, he had a Hitachi AM/FM/Cassette recorder for sale, and I purchased it with some of my funny money. Well it was stolen when I went home to be with my wife as she gave birth to our son, when I got back my room had been broken into and everything I owned was gone including my great Hitachi Radio. Here a few months ago, I located one for sale in Florida and purchased it, as is not working. When I got it, it worked just fine, the poor thing had been dropped and all the switches were filthy but after cleaning and a bit of glue, I had her mostly working. The string for the tuner was messed up, but it had just slipped off a guide and when I got it back in place it worked great, a Longer Screw was needed to get past the broken mount, and she stabilized. Now she is working perfectly and brings in local and distant stations wonderfully in my house that acts like a faraday cage to every other radio in my collection. Even the cassette recorder works great now, I even went so far as to buy a 4 pack of D cells to put in her and check for battery function, works GREAT! Found a date mark on her shows she was made in 1969, probably the same time my old one from Nam was made, hell she could be the same one as I had dropped mine off a guard tower, some 65 feet above the sands of Cam Rahn and she survived, this one has the same breaks I remember from back them. Wonder if the guy I got it from stole it from me in 1971???

Excellent video!!

Gold V on green background I think is a Viceroy. Cool video. I hope ya snagged that bong thing.

awesome video and scenery!

Amazing. Knowledge trying to learn few thing from you Thanks

I didn’t come from Carson’s Lab, but did see you mentioned on it!

Yay!! Shango field trip!

The AITC 14 transistor one in the box had a 9 V battery in it all corroded you missed that one buddy, I am not a transistor man but I love watching your videos I find them very interesting keep up the good work. 🇦🇺

Hello,its great to show us the collection.I was the russian radioking in germany.The russian radios was very stable.I had over 100 of these.The smallest one was the "Orljonok" and the greatest "leningrad".The best quality radios came from Belarus named VEF 206 and so on.... All the best for you ..rockn roll

Pretty nice neighborhood! Bongs are everywhere!

"it's Spring" and is posted in August. My man has a backlog of videos. LOL Half of the time I'm lost but i just dig the old electronics Shango features.

Awesome place to do radio analysis.

Looks like 👍 a basement or attic collection. I really hope ya can save all of these radios 📻. Too retro to throw away. Your friend, Jeff.

Definitely do a resurrection video on the RCA. That’s a real beauty!

The RCA radio needs help but I'm sure that a separate resurrection video on it is in order! The fish are dancing in the water to the song " Take Your Time (Do It Right)" by the S.O.S. Band coming out of the Zenith! This video also has " Carefree Highway" by Gordon Lightfoot , "Where Did Our Love Go" by Soft Cell, "We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel and for extra credit, the very hard to hear ( near the end of the video) is "Never Gonna Give You Up "by Rick Astley . Possibly "Hold The Line" by Toto at the very end. Yeah so no copyright infringement here. LOL Great show and tell with some " on the fly" resurrections Shango!!!

You are living my dream!

I received a 6 transistor radio for Christmas back in 1959 which was an AFCO in a leather case with earphone included. Talked to someone from this company and my radio was one of the first they imported to the states from Japan. AFCO was not the manufacturer, just an import company. My transistor radio was still working this year, and used three batteries that were half the size of a double AA battery. Of course you may be aware of AFCO.

14:26 This Sanyo is the one you should definitely restore. Apart from the good vibes which almost everyone has noticed about it, it also has a SW band too! The short wave would be the perfect thing to try out in the wilderness as you might be able to get a few channels at the right time of day if you are lucky and yes it also has that nice jewel. :) I also have a soft spot for the radio that is also a wind up clock.

Fantastic location !! Us caged animals in Australia are not allowed more than 5Klm from our front doors....

Wow, beautiful place

The high altitude does not appear to affect shango's abilities whatsoever. He must be equipped with a supercharger.

Where is my airplane ASMR??? Wow, that's a nice spot. One ATC as 8 transistors and the other 14? I would like to see the RCA Victor come back to life (Baby come back - Player)🎶!!! In fact I like to see most of them come back, your repair and revival video's are inspiring, you've inspired me to build my own repair shop, Thanks to you Shango066 and your great content... Thank you!

Very nice transistors ✌️

Yes Dura-leaks are the best batts. If you take a fancy i would like to see the bejeweled Sanyo brought back to life. Thanks Shango

Meanwhile, I bought a Super 8mm camera last used in May 1986, and it had four working Duracell batteries in it.

The older SANYO But yeah the RCA is cool, love the CT speaker thing Great win for the ZENITH the quality goes in before the name goes on

36:49 congrats, you found an electric shaver disguised as a radio.

I'm in a fringy type am band area. Found in general the longer the ferrite antenna the more sensitive is the radio,after tweaking for max signal of course!

The big equipment with keys must be an x-ray diffractometer. It's used for analyzing the components and structure of compounds, like ore samples. And the bong looks to be part of a water distiller, that's cool. The whole lab deserves a seperate video, i'ts interesting! Just saw the "oooh for smooth boiling" ahahahahhahah Those must be little ceramic shards to prevent violent boiling, mostly when boiling or distilling non polar solvents.

Been enjoying your work up through your latest and wanted to say thanks from Niceville, Florida. Our political views seem to mesh and your style is fun to watch. Take care and keep it up!

On your next trip to the desert, you could put up a 500 foot Beverage antenna and see what stations you pick up in daylight.

Helluva view out there! Thanks for the little walk around. Need some blasting noise in the background at a mine?

What a gorgeous location

The RCA Victor, But really, I want to see you make that bong! :)

Very nice Man
