I'm sure some of you will enjoy this, so I figured I'd make a topic in what seems like forever.
I'm got a bunch of hobbies, but the things I enjoy the most are working on old radios and TVs
as they're fun to mess around with and get working. They're also very nice to use. The radios are
almost always really simple to get working, but the TV's pose a bigger challenge (to me at least).
I have one that I'm trying to get it's HV section working correctly at the moment, without much luck.
This is a 1954/5 Philips R-7520 chassis I'm working on at
the moment. It's been a major pain, but it's slowly coming back to life. And
thisis a Philco radio from 1939 that I'm working on. I should have all the parts in the mail
by next week and it'll be all good then. Right now I'm working on the cabinet while I wait.
This is a Marconi 158 from around 1938 that is fully done. It's been
fully restored electrically and I've done some minor work to the cabinet (it was mostly fine).
I plugged it in last night with a long antenna and was easily about to pick up stations from all
around the world on SW.
I'll post some pictures of other's I've done latter when I get the chance (maybe I'll post a video of one working?).
Just thought I'd show you folks in case anyone is interested or if any of you do the same.
