That was great know I understand the importance of a shunt when measuring current with the meter.

I dug out my vintage Sony (ICF- A10W) clock radio that I bought used about 12 years ago. After I bought 12 years ago, I just tested quickly and not sure if I checked the am radio and just stored away. So when I came across it in my storage, I took it home, but heard something loose inside. So I took it apart with just 2 small screws. I found a long metal bar with 2 thin copper wire wrapped around lose and I believe came loose in shipping 12 years ago bc the eBayer left the battery in shipping and when I got it, the radio was playing inside the package. Lol! So bc I didn’t have any glue, I just put the loose bar near where it was attached to the inside corner. And it still shakes but seem not as much as before. But now I’m wondering if the am was already broken or if I had put the buttons back wrong? I managed to not break any of the plastic and careful taking it apart with snapping off anything. That’s the problem with handling something brand new and understanding without breaking it on how that part all go into place. Lol! I’m not that mechanical and don’t understand how things work or what each thing does what. So I get lost and usually don’t even go as far as taking apart or trouble shooting, I always hope for an easy fix or look on KZfaq for guidance. So if it having to replace the am part, are they all about the same or are there many? Can I take it jist from an old radio with am? This clock radio I have is a collectors item and I want it to completely work and including the am radio I never use. Lol! Anyway, thanks for the tutorial! Maybe if I re glue tgat metal bar, the Am will start working again. Also, I’ve looked at about 20 of these Sony clock radios used and most just have the fm wore port and not the wire that plugs into it. Perhaps most didn’t need or lost after 40 years and I only saw one unit with the original fm wire. Meaning if I find the fm fm wire, would that help make the am stations to come in? Oh and the end connection is much smaller than the end of the standard headphone jack. So it might be hard to find a replacement.

I guess there are ppl. like you that likes to fix these old radios and spend time trying to get them to work. Bc I see used radios at thrift stores, flea markets and garage sales and could easily find an old radio for under $10. I just picked up this Aiwa handheld emergency wind up option radio with even a light for $15. in like new condition. I should’ve gotten this top of the line Yamaha receiver from the early 2000s they were selling at Goodwill the day I was there first thing in the morning to get a record I saw the day before for only $24.99. I didn’t want to carry that 30lb. receiver on the bus and running late for work and in 7 minutes, I saw someone buying it when I was checking out.

I also remember the days when there were many electronic repair shops and now gone like shoe repair shops bc of this disposable generation. This needs to change bc many now are getting into vintage aiduo equipment and many those units needs servicing and someone to care for these solid made equipment from the past, instead of filling up landfills. I remember buying this great JVC 80’s receivers with green lights and I think the spin radio dial from this guy who used to repair audio and worked at a few high end stereo stores in I think Portland or Seattle. He bought the troughs the receiver from a local theft store and cleaned it up and made sure everything worked. He told me he still knew places that sold parts for these older units and that this was a way to make some extra money flipping vintage stereo equipment to supplement his income while being retired and 12 years ago he was in his late 60’s and also told me he had cancer. I always love. Intake stereo equipment and not someone looking for one stereo to own. So I know now this vintage stereo collecting is trendy but that didn’t make a difference or change my love for vintage audio equipment Partly bc when o was a kid, I was fascinated by the adult buying stereos and how much that was a part of the culture in the 70’s and 80’s. I wish I was able to open a store 12 years ago buying and selling vintage audio equipment as some are doing now. Bc back then everyone thought I was nuts and didn’t understand my passion. I just a few days ago went to the SFMOMA museum in San Francisco and they had this great exhibition on vintage audio equipment and vintage concert/ music shows that were vibrant in color and fill up all the walls that made a huge impact. They even had 2 floors of independence used record sellers for the first time in the museum that USF normally has twice a year. It’s all coming back and the younger generation is responding hard to it, especially in the big cities across the US.

Your Sony radio is two radios with shard parts. I recommend to contact your local Ham Radio Club, for help. There will be someone in this club who repair radio or knows some who does radio repair.

Good Morning! Thank you for this explanation. I restore vintage stereo consoles and hi-fi's. I seem to encounter plenty of ground loops and it is like voodoo trying to understand why. Your video has helped me understand.

Just wanted to echo the praise of all the others here & add my 2¢ whilst I'm at it. I belong to the Ontario Vintage Radio Association here in Canada, & just recently purchased one of these babies in excellent cosmetic, & I think electrical, condition. Paid just $25CDN for it from our meeting auction; that's about $1.49 in real American $, btw...😉😏 It's a Canadian set, too. It's branded as a Westinghouse, not an RCA! But other than it was built up here (under license?🤔), it's ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL to your RCA set other than there's a Westinghouse logo in the exact spot where the RCA logo is on yours.🧐 I appreciate that you clarified what voltages you're using for the B & C supplies, as I have very little knowledge & no experience with these pre-Superhet technology sets & I need & appreciate all the knowledge & help that I can get on the subject. The guys in our club that are into restoring these old sets just glibly say 90V RF Amp & O/P stage & 45V for the Detector/1st AF B+, & -5 to -10V for the C-. One fellow likes to use the lowest filament voltages possible to get the set to work in order to protect those ancient filaments gone brittle with old age & high mileage to extend their lives. My thought is that he's wrong & it's a false economy; insufficient voltage will poison a coated filament, likely the same thing would happen with a thoriated tungsten one, & the pure tungsten filaments of WD-11's & UX-199's(?) have such low emission that you likely won't have the luxury of doing this even though it won't damage them! What's your experience? It was nice to see you showing how to use the regeneration ("amplification") control, & that the set has enough juice to drive a horn (which I don't have). I also have enough whiz-dumb from previous electronics adventures to be hesitant about making a high value collectable in excellent condition as a first project to cut my teeth on; maybe I should experiment on another of my recent acquisitions first? I also got in the same auction a gorgeous Freed-Eisemann Neutrodyne set...but I know enough that it isn't a regenerative set but more along the lines of, or just plain is, a TRF set. Another kind of set I don't know how to operate! And not long before I also obtained a near-mint Atwater-Kent Model 30, I think it is. But perhaps my first victim will be a 1920's era kit I bought alongside the A-K, with five 01's in it. The A-K, like its model # implies, uses a half-dozen 30's. So with that background I'll get to my final point: I knew that the Radiola originally used WD-11's. I wasn't told that it could use UX-199's. Either way, I have none of the former & probably not even 4 of the latter that I'd need. I've got plenty of 01's though, although I was surprised to see you making adapters to use them in place of the WD-11's. My Radiola came with a quartet of 30's in it & no adapter sockets in sight! I'm fortunate enough to have a decent supply of these at least... I haven't looked at any Tube Data, but this suggests to me that the 30 might be a plug-in replacement for the WD-11 & if so rather less hassle than making adapters to use 01's & just plain a better alternative. 😂Opinions?

Thank you! You have acquired several nice early radios. My favorite radios are the 1920s, that is when radio was magic.When I play them I only use enough filament votage so they perform as designed. Westinghouse did make radios for RCA in the early 1920s. You may know this, here is the link for the schematic from NostalgiaAir. www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel/350/M0040350.pdf Antique Electornic Supply use to sell tube adapters. I looked up the 30 on NostalgiaAir and it does not look like a sub for a WD11. I’ll be glad to try and help, and answer questions if I can.

Been following your channel for about 10 years now. Definitely think about making some of your videos a part of the ASMR genre. Soothing voice, can be something like, "Electric ASMR." Keep up the good work, I appreciate all of your content.
