Amazing job Paul

You cannot beat a good old AM set and that is a well engineered beauty.Your lad sounds as enthusiastic as my daughter about radio.😂Nice little video.

now that is an interesting radio, Fanone

Excellent work you've done. The Sinad Meter works like a charm Thanks you.

Finally got the time to try out my Sinad meter today, excellent bit of kit. Thanks mate 👍.

Great that you're back!

Yes sir! Great video, but I’m partial to the AM sets. Thanks for getting that meter out to me. I WAS looking for a boat anchor, but you’re right, it’s not needed. TinySA 👍

"hi Paul I've had this set since late 70's, dug it out after watching this video. unfortunately it switches on, but the case gets hot very quickly, taking the covers off, the metal plates to the left of the noise blanker module covering the transformer(45920005, 16J3-tk) are really hot, would that be a voltage regulator, or audio transformer! there is no rx tx or pa. Thanks for doing the vid, it just made me wonder if it was worth repairing, or just gaze at it on the shelf!. cheers Kev."

Great video very interesting keep the videos coming, ATB John

A real man's cb lol, beautiful

Here by the recommendation of Ringway Manchester :)

Excellent mate, ive never seen the fanfare but i had a kraco exactly the same as the one you have there back in 1979 , nostalgic, me and a few others down here still use Am mid block,👍

that is a cool radio, with a very busy microphone. it looked like a electret type? thanks for showing this one

Nice work there , I hate those fibre pens they get everywhere and so annoying when they get in your skin . They do clean well tho.

Nice job, 12k subs congrats

Nice radio although never seen one

Hello. I recently subscribed to your channel after watching some of your videos on portable civil band radios. I confess that I have been watching you for quite some time, but I was not subscribed to your channel. I didn't like it and decided to subscribe. I'm from Ukraine. Perhaps you already know that we are at war with Russia and we are fighting for our survival and the survival of our nation. Once I turned on my portable civilian radio by connecting it to an external collinear antenna and caught you on channel 8 of my radio in Ukraine, but then I lost contact with you. Hearing the familiar sound of the whistle, I was very glad that I had the chance to hear you.

To fix volume knob.....spray can oil....inside knob......

I dont think thats the original mic. the plug looks like it supposed to go into a cavity but it does work

👍

Have you done the mm2 yet ? If not do you want a fm audio fix vco to fit ?

I have one of them fanon Fanfare rigs, not a great talker but cool all the same

Are you still doing power supplies? /adapters for drill batteries?

2.5 miles, s9+ QRM = good. I'd hate see / hear what you call bad... ;)
