Very interesting radio and nice restoration. The 5 position tone control is unique. I like that you used the old switch, it sounds very solid. Here in the US, type 80 tubes are readily available for around $20 US. Not sure about other parts of the world. Best, Doc

You have done a very good job on this radio. Having just found your channel I have subscribed. Thank you.

Oh, WOW! 👀 It looks FANTASTIC! 👍👏

That's a very nice set!

Nice job. Nice radio. Nice video.

Thanks for the lesson. Nice job on the radio! Im surpriced that you not change all the old paper an wax capacitors. Cold you tell me whats inside the false antenna between the signalgenerator and the radio. I have just bought an old german generator and will test it on my radio. Its a Swedish Luxor radio from 1951. Regards Bjorn

I just moved to my new apartment which belongs to a distanced family member and it has inside a Paillard which is Radio on the top and a multidisk under the radio, it is quite heavy and tall but i havent been able to find it online, i guess it is a pretty rare model.

Hi, what is the protective coating , thanks.

Hi , you forgot to tell me what is the protective coating , thanks

It is possible to fix or connect a vintage audio / radios to a Bluetooth unit !! How and is that a good thing in general !

The WiMo QRM Eliminator is a simple signal phasing device that can effectively reduce or remove noise interference for dramatically improved HF reception. The QRM Eliminator is based on a totally innovative concept and cannot be compared to the performance of noise blanker or DSP circuits.

Maybe a silly question but what kind of wax did you use to clean and make so nice the box? Thanks

I googled what you told me about the modern amplifiers tubes, wow its a new hope for the very old radios, but mostly Chinese products 🤨

Hello, You know what is actually attracting me - and the others - in the vintage radios models are the wood cabinets and console, because I know the technology is the same in all the brand , only have am wave , and am / sw and am / sw / fm in the 40, s and 50,s But the wooden cabinets and consoles are a pieces of art ! Thanks

Please I have seen some old technician, who can clean and wash the whole machin of the vintage radio like the China plates, and turn it to zero of first production, what do they use soap and water or chemical liquids or both , thanks

Volume might be due to not using the electrodynamic field coil.

Hello, can you guide me to a Web. contains list models ( photos) of zineth vintage radios that were produced in the 30, s and 40, s. Thanks .

Please, do you have a schematic circuit of this radio?

You must take a 2 days holiday to up date your channel.. Waitin !

Saudações brasileiras ao mestre restaurador desse lindo radio, que por coincidência acabei de compra um igual, só que o numero de serie é 414. Gostaria de saber se é possivel conseguir de voce o esquema eletronico deste radio, sei que é pouco comum este fato, mas gostaria de saber houve uma serie 400 para a região europeiaa e outra serie 400 para as americas. Se houver algo que me possa ajudar por favor, sou iniciante nessa nobre arte e ainda tenho todas as dificuldades do mundo quando a restaurar um radio valvulado. Desculpe o grande texto e espero que me possa ajudar abraços do Atlantico sul e muito obrigado pelo excelente video explicativo.

I think you should have changed the wax paper capacitors as well as electrolytic if the are not leaky they are working on it. they can destroy IF transformers, Tubes, and mains transformers. I would bet that as they are 80 years old they are already leaky. Also would have been good to check the tuning of the IF transformers.

Thank you, I am asking you about such details of buying the vintage radio and its spare parts because I am not living in the US, I am foreigner, and I a have inherited - by my family - a group of vintage audio sets, all dead because of the passing away of all the very clever old technicians and the old original spare parts too from the old electrics markets in my country 😊

Are the original spare parts of the retro vintage radio cabinets are still produced till now in usa and euroup , or provided by the old retro inventory stocks in the old electrics markets, its very vital on case of purchasing a retro audio devices, thanks .

You mentioned that you didn't have the data on the 80 rectifier tube (valve) so I thought I would provide some sources that provide that information for you: www.tubesandmore.com/sites/default/files/associated_files/80tubular.pdf www.r-type.org/pdfs/80.pdf www.r-type.org/exhib/aaa0296.htm I hope that information is useful and helpful to you. There are some concerns that I want to share with you. The original can type capacitor that is mounted to the chassis has a metal outside to the can. That metal can shell is attached by being installed to the chassis to the chassis such that the defective capacitor is attached to "ground" even if you don't attach anything in the way of a wire or component to it. Since it appears that you are using the Positive pole of that capacitor as a terminal strip for the replacement new electrolytic capacitor, you have just made the new capacitor "leaky" by in effect putting a resistor across the new capacitor. No part of the new capacitor should be connected to any part of the old one. A lot of people take out the old can type capacitor and remove everything inside it. Then they put replacement capacitors inside and re-install it. It doesn't sound to me like you would want to do that, but I mention it just in case you do have any interest. Another concern is that it doesn't appear that you replaced any of the paper capacitors whatsoever. If you don't replace ALL the paper capacitors, you stand a very high chance of destroying the tubes (valves) and/or the transformers (especially the IF transformers) by not doing so. If you look at the schematic, you will see that from the plate of the tube going to the 2nd IF transformer primary, there is a capacitor at the bottom end of the coil to the chassis ground. That capacitor most likely is leaky and as it gets worse will act as a short to ground to draw excessive current and burn out the primary coil. Some sources you may want to have for parts and supplies are: www.tubesandmore.com/ www.radiodaze.com/ www.renovatedradios.com/ justradios.com/ www.retrocom.com/index.html

Hi : Why did you stop updating your channel ! Haven't seen any new videos ?

Sorry for miss understanding I am a new subscriber today I talking about what I have seen before in other vedios and photos !

What brand do you repair today ! 🤔

Good luck

Hi, are you there

A company called inalso, Indian or Chinese is remanufacturing the vintage tubes , is that true ?

very nice radio,i like the cabinet,just beautifull (i dont like metalic verticals,sorry)

Hi , where are you fellow !

Why all the vintage radios technicians don't sand and refurbish and varnish the back lumen ( place of machine in the backside ) of the vintage cabinets or consoles !

PS: Paillard is pronounced Pie-yar

The broadcast inferenceses always represent a chronic problem ezzzzzzzzz oshshshshshsh 😠 In all the vintage retro radios in general are there a technical methods to avoid or eliminate these very noisy interfaceses

every one of those old capacitors need replaced they could die at any moment I wouldnt buy anything you have serviced

I am following your channel but you never respond to the comments .. ! If you don't care about follow and participation , say it .. Its OK !
