The Howard 118 that had the burned up resistor is coming back to life. Halfway through the circuit, most of the resistors and capacitors in the power supply and audio amp were 100% out of tolerance, plus there were a couple dead tubes, a couple shorts, and one broken wire. #antiqueradio

Almost done working on this 1940s Philco chassis. Most of the original capacitors were no longer in tolerance, some were starting to fail, those are all replaced. Resistors were checked and all are in spec. Next is the power on test, voltage checks, and if all is good, alignment. #antiqueradio

The joys of #AntiqueRadio and #OldTimeRadio. #TheShadow rules.

Our LOEWE Opta Luna Stereo Type 42070W tube radio is now fully restored! In this second part of the restoration, we carefully waxed the wooden casing and then meticulously polished the wax to achieve a silky smooth finish. The electronics were thoroughly tested and made functional again before we carefully reassembled everything. The result is a true highlight for classic radio enthusiasts – both in function and design.

Unser LOEWE Opta Luna Stereo Type 42070W Röhrenradio ist nun vollständig restauriert! In diesem zweiten Teil der Restaurierung haben wir das Holzgehäuse sorgfältig gewachst und das Wachs anschließend aufwändig poliert, sodass eine seidenmatte Oberfläche entstanden ist. Die Elektronik wurde gründlich geprüft und wieder funktionsfähig gemacht, bevor wir alles behutsam zusammengebaut haben. Das Ergebnis ist ein wahres Highlight für Liebhaber klassischer Radios – sowohl in Funktion als auch im Design.

All-transistor AM radio. Not sure who the manufacturer is - perhaps it was a kit. #Photography #Radio #RetroTechnology

Late start to Christmas Day and didn't go out of town as planned. At least things are starting to look and sound merry with the Stromberg-Carlson playing #strombergcarlson #antiqueradio #antiqueradios
