This needs a part 2 where you show us how you repair the battery holder, on/off switch, and ferrite antenna.

"Hey look, we've got some rules! [...] 'Be careful not to damage or remove the plastic cover' [...] That sounds like an invitation to remove this plastic cover!... okay [...] we'll do that, because that's just in the rules." 😆

This is one of the coolest mechanisms I've ever seen. Just the idea to come up with it and then to get the green light to go ahead and build it and then another green light to go ahead and sell it would never happen today. Thank you Paul

To judge by the last couple episodes, Mr. Carlson really seems to be getting into these new-fangled transfer-resistor things!
-
Paul has blessed us with these videos lately!

Never seen that clockwork auto tune system before, very neat idea
-
very cool indeed. Looks like a great candidate for a restore/fix up (switch/ferrite rod/case dent/battery holder/clean). Great to see the alignment process as well. Cheers.

Please keep making these transistor radio restoration videos . So cool !
-
Even after all the work you put into the lab, it's plain to see you love what you do and this in turn makes it a joy to watch, listen and learn from you....Thanks!
-
Now that is a neat auto-tune mechanism, very unusual design and totally unexpected. I think it's worth a restore on that merit alone. 👍
-
Awesome Mr C., it's a true pleasure watching you work a schematic, a true art in and of itself. This was a very unique radio, never seen one before. I suppose this jewel will adorn the museum shelf after a few minor fixes, a rare find I'm guessing. Great video as always, as usual I learn from every episode. Thanks and 73.

That's a cool mix of clockwork and radio. A very interesting find.

Electronics is my first love. I used to do a lot of board level repair on all types of printers, computers, monitors, power supplies, even hard drives. The thrill of chasing the problem. It's really very rewarding when you find and fix problems that few can and you sir, are a master at it. Thanks for sharing!
-
That was an hour so well spent thanks Paul
-
Simply amazing how any one can hold batteries in place, jumper a defective power switch then trouble shoot and align the IF circuits. AND make video of it!!!!!!
-
Perfect Sunday night viewing. Thanks from the UK 👍

When you said the radio had a hand crank, I was thinking of a radio that was being given to Missionaries in South America. This so anyone in the jungle if no power could listen to HCJB and TWR, Trans World Radio on the island of Bonaire,( I was an TX operator). The radios were powered by a hand cranked mechanism. The radio you’ve got is a really cool radio! I’ve never seen one of those. Ron

Very Fun video on a Panasonic Radio. Panasonic made some cool stuff of the early 70s. Never knew this radio existed. Thanks Mr. Carlson.

Unique example of an evolutionary branch of portable electronic entertainment. Electromechanical solutions that work, but the "DNA" has evolved to modern life. I remember the solid chunk as the TV was adjusted by the clicker. Nice saga as always.
