Dress or no dress this guy is extremely educated and amazingly talented. MUCH RESPECT SIR.

This man is never stumped or frustrated by anything ... at least relative to his fellow KZfaq restorers. So fun to watch.

And then I suddenly have to think of the fact that young people (here in Holland) are attributed divine attributes and the elderly (here in Holland) above 40 very much attributed negative attributes. This is the proof that you must be an age to be a professional. I am full of admiration for the craftsmanship. All respect

“I need a speaker. Let me find an old piece of plywood.” I love how he handcrafts what he needs.

Gosh... I forgot all about this youtuber. Glad I rediscovered you. I remember watching you make an amplifier tube.

I love your outfits. and I love the way you restore old radios with such detail. keep up the fantastic work! 😊

I know nothing about radio but found these videos to to be absolutely engaging, a mixture of skill knowledge and charm!

When she turned the wireless (radio in olde English) on, I was expecting news of the Wall Street crash. Great job!! Nothing is impossible with all that knowledge and dedication.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. Restoring old radio's is a fast dying art form and it's guys like you who keep it alive. I myself restore 40 year old CB radio's and love doing it. I live in Perth Western Australia and with a population of 1.5 million people i am the guy that everyone goes too to have their old CB radio restored. I'm very proud of the work i do because i get to hear these old radio's transmitting again and the owner enjoying using his old radio. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing Ron.

You are very bright and radiant...Thankyou

Really enjoyed this video-not just for the educational experience, but for your clear, easygoing style. I'm a beginner-an old beginner at 72-and I've learned quite a bit from your radio troubleshooting videos. Your rewinding of of the old transformer was fascinating. I've bought some basic test instruments and ordered a non-working tube radio from eBay. The next step is to try to bring it back to life. Please continue with the radio-repair series. It's very valuable. I'd love to see a demo about how to look inside a radio and identify the various stages. I've watched you do it but I have no idea how you can tell one stage from another. Thank you. James

Oh boy, I had no clue they made portables this early. Magnificent.

Glasslinger radio cabinet that you painted look cool

As ever, Glasslinger, this is a really helpful video (albeit from 5 years ago!) on how to do the fault tracing on sets like these. It's actually quite logical when you follow it through in the straightforward way that you demonstrate in your videos. Thanks!

Thank you for posting this video showing a repair/restoration of a "Prohibition Era" 1920's vintage radio. I enjoy videos of people fixing vintage electronic radios and televisions. I would rather see someone repair a vintage radio instead of just running it into the dumpster.....

I love your work and admire your nollidge. Very educational. Greeting from Holland

I bet if you showed up at the beach in the 20's with that portable radio; people would think you were the "cat's meow". Incredible restoration!

I'm very impressed I'm also electronic technician but you have a golden hand..

It was great hearing it burst into life after all the years of it being stored. Nice job.

The connection between this gentleman and to some radio engineer 100 years ago is just fascinating. Great video!

Thank you so much for your videos and the care that you put in explaining your process.

Pure genius - I know that comes from a lifetimes learning - I wish I lived next door to you Ron I would be in your workshop every day learning something new. ATB

Another interesting radio and restoration video. You know so much more than I do that you move much faster than I would. I have to make notes on questions and research things, but I still learn a lot. Keep up the great videos! Much appreciated.

I was almost knocked-out when you simply sketched out a perfect horn for the speaker, then actually knocked-out when you built it so beautifully.

The thing that was distracting to me wasn't him wearing a dress ( if that's his thing then more power to him) but the fact he is wearing nice clothes while working on stuff in the shop. This fellow's videos are excellent. They're easy to follow with good simple explanations and it's amazing how simply he figures out a problem such as the RF transformer and then just disassembles it and repairs it so effortlessly. I now feel much more confident about working on my own projects. I'm a subscriber.

Very gifted radio tech,well done .

Another great video from you. I enjoy seeing your craftsmanship and knowledge of just what to do in these restoration jobs.

What a wonderful dress in the first picture! I relay loving it! I want a similar dress my self now. :) I love all of them, by the way. Great video as always! We love them all!

Always a joy! Thank You, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Fascinating video, learned a lot about remaking coils and the speaker horn. Also a great combining of ancient tech with modern - love it!

An absolute treasure. The mastery of being able to restore these devices is amazing.

Great repair videos. Thank you for going through the effort of posting them.

That was a amazing save,very inventive,not many have your talent.

You are awesome! And you work wonders with fixing components you don't even know what it is! The little box with coils in it.... just wow 👌

Wow I just watched this up to the making of the speaker, and realized I had watched the entire thing 3 yrs ago...I was impressed then too.. great job, cool old radio.

I don't care what you wear. I just want to see you teach us how to fix old radios and use our creative brains to fill in the blanks on what else needs to have one to make it work.and look classy. Thanks R!

Very interesting and informative video. Keep up the good work. And Merry Christmas!

I think you're a genius, excellent video and very clear explanations of exactly what you're doing and why. Love your work, thank you for sharing :)

most interesting repair. 😎 Thank you Ron.

Expert repair without a schematic diagram, YES! Ron can figure out just about any radio,even the most basic tube type ones from long ago! Rewiring transformers aren't that easy but you make it super easy looking!

Nice to see someone who shares two diverse hobbies with me

Thank you so much for you videos. I love old radios, but these days (due to ill health), I can no longer restore/repair any. So I 're live the moments' though your videos.

Thanks for doing these videos Ron. You take ancient pieces of equipment and actually make something out of them. If it weren't for you, I assume that alot of this old stuff would sit somewhere deteriorating until someone who had no concern for them would come along thinking that they're doing everyone a favor by throwing them in the dump unaware of what the stuff actually is. The projects that you take on are fascinating and educational for me. The creator of this universe has blessed us with your educative abilities and uniqueness.

Nice job. I like your speaker design. I'm glad it worked so well.

I'm new to your videos but just wanted to say - thank you, you've given me the confidence to repair my own valve radio. Its an ekco RS3.

Very cool video. I didn't know radios existed from that era. I can't imagine where you find them, but I can say I am thoroughly enjoying your channel! Keep 'em coming, please!

Great work on the transformer and horn!

God bless you with all that knowledge I learned a lot more watching your videos

Great video. Looking forward to more of your work.

I like the fact that the reasons for the measurements are described! 😊

Another awesome piece of electronics brought back to life with some TLC Tech Loving Care...

Amazing work! I really enjoyed this video!

Really great job! Always a pleasure to watch!

Very nice job! Your explanation is just awesome.....for us that are still learning about this type of thing.....keep up the videos plz! And thank you! 😊

Love your shop!

Thanks for the video. Happy Holidays!

I just came across your videos and love themÙÙ! Keep up the great work.

Nice work! This is the first transformer rewind video that I’ve seen. Thanks for posting it!

Your coil winder was very interesting. That home brew horn speaker was great. Nice job! Gary

Love those kind of restorations. I like to make them too.

This guy is the best regardless of what he wears I don't judge

always love seeing new videos from you!

Nice work with the transformer

I like your way of showing the repair. Very helpful.I have a 41 silvertone tombstone radio and there was a 16 mf cap that looked origional but shows on the schematic as a .03 mf caphave you seen this before.

I restored an RCA Skipper record player/radio combo and it required a 90v B+. I daisychained ten 9v batteries just using the snap terminals. It creates either a 10x4x1/2" or 5x4x1" brick. It's an easier change out than soldering the wires to the batteries.

your videos are always very clear and interesting, keep it up! :)

Nice repair/restoration.

Thanks Ron. I'd NEVER expect a coil to be a problem :)

very cool little radio.

Ron Does the Machine have a counter for rotation, You have everything you need to do These repairs, You Sir are the Man. God Bless Ron

Your videos are just AMAZING !!!!!!

For many people, having an open coil would have meant the end of the line for the radio. Very nice job!...Except for the part you painted it. I could have done without that.

Mind-boggling, inspiring and educational.

Fine work. Well done.

Nice restore!

Omg I think I’ve seen one of these portable radios in a movie!

Very interesting video, Thanks.

brilliant, on many levels! thanks for the video

What a star ! I would have junked that radio. Respect :+)

I can say I've seen it all now!!!

VERY cool receiver!

Great repair you are a super tech !!!

very interesting and i learned some great tips - thanks!

Amazing capabilities.

a most enjoyable video, your technical talent is only exceeded by your ability to 'just fix things' I mean, winding your own transformers? and 'just happening ' to have the righ valves to hand for this radio? serioulsy cool my dear. Thank You for this video, most knowledgable indeed, I have huge respect for your know how... thanks again. mike.

it looks so simple

Now we know where all of Klinger's dress's went to!

Kinda bit similar to a PCB, except that it's with wires underneath the board, very interesting 1920s stuff. I wonder if anyone in that era ever thought of... " Hey, we could print this circuitry "

You're a national treasure.

When AM radios looked like a slumber party suitcase.

awesome! i love seeing old electronics brought back to life.""well done""

Love your videos!

AWESOME,congrads!!

Another great video on restoration of a vintage Prohibition Era radio. Rechargeable batteries could be used so the radio could remain as a portable.....

I have an old Atwater Kent receiver handed down to me by my Wife's grandfather that I hope to be restoring soon. Looks like a model 40 or very close. Should be fun.

Glasslinger your utube videos are awesome

Love your videos mate

I would be very interested to know how you value your labor!? An amazing effort and an amazing amount of knowledge and skill went into this!

i like your show.

i like that portable battery radio 20s
