5 Why Collect and Restore old radios? Preservation of Amateur Radio history No longer manufactured Nostalgia I can now obtain and afford all the equipment I only dreamed of having during my high school years Collecting Investment??? Resell for profit Its fun doing the repairs! Over 85% of the radios I have in my collection, when obtained, were nonfunctional, in poor cosmetic condition, or both It s a Labor of love for the hobby! Pride in Radio Art /Skill Ver

15 Vintage Equipment to Obtain Whatever turns you on I prefer 1960 to 1970 vintage Good equipment to look for: Items which will increase in value once they are restored Items which are rare Items which are cosmetically in good shape even if they don t work Electronics can easily be fixed Look for original knobs, meters, logos, etc Parts radios "It worked the last time I tried it" should be taken with a grain of salt Ver
16 Where to Acquire Vintage Radios Ham Fest / Swap meets Friends Estate sales Other collectors Ver
17 Where To Obtain Parts Swap meets Look inside those boxes on the ground Cannibalize another radio Sell what s left Retail outlets Surplus Sales of Nebraska Fair Radio Sales Antique Electronic Supply Giga parts Schematics/manuals ftp://bama.sbc.edu (free) Ver
18 Cosmetic Repairs Cleaning Simple Green Goof -Off Windex (???) Caution Rubbing Alcohol Dish soap and water Murphy Oil Soap Cotton swabs Auto carburetor cleaner on chassis For steel chassis, repaint silver Tools Tooth brush Dremel Tool Cotton swabs Ver
19 Cosmetic Repairs Knobs/Meters/Trim/etc The closer to original, the more the value Try to keep as close to original as possible Acquire parts from a second cannibalized radio You can find preproduction manufactured parts Front panel and cabinet parts are more critical then internal components ie: resistors, capacitors Ver
20 Cosmetic Repairs Painting Computer match paints Home Depot and Lowe s has good color selections Not a perfect match, however in most cases, close enough Don t spot paint, paint the whole cabinet or not at all Wet sand with fine grit sandpaper Air-Brush, if your good at using it Ver
21 Cosmetic Repairs Oils / Lubricants WD-40 3-in-1 Silicone Spray DeOXit Canned air Light weight gear grease Lettering Computer water decal lettering transfers Bel Inc., Tel Ver
22 Cleaning Compounds Ver
23 Warnings!!! There are lethal high voltages inside vintage radios, especially in transmitters DC voltages can exceed +800 Volts Before attempting any electrical repairs, make sure you understand proper safety procedures Refer to ARRL handbook Use a AC variable power supply when first powering up old radios Vintage radios were designed for 110VAC operation. With today s AC home voltage near 125VAC, some older components inside the radio may short out or explode! Ver
24 Cautions!!! Weight of old radios Watch your back (ouch!) when lifting Can weigh up to 100 pounds or more! Make sure the operating desk can support the weight Do not use acetone or gasoline for cleaning Destroys paints Flammable Super-glue fumes can be bad around some plastics Causes it to fog/cloud, even melt Replace AC power cord with 3 wire ground plug type Avoid electrical shock due to voltage potential between chassis. Ver
25 Electrical Repairs Most common repairs Tubes Testing Transconductance Mu checking Replacement Re-capping Paper, mica and black-beauties Power supply electrolytics Alignment Caution not to crack iron slugs Peak using S-meter or oscilloscope RF signal generator or crystal calibrator Carbon resistors go up in resistance value with age Switch contact and pot cleaning Put circuit back to original Add only trusted validated modifications Ver
26 The difference in repairing an older radio now as compared to repairing it in it's early years When it was fairly new, you were looking for a probable single point of failure; now there are probably multiple points of failure Capacitors can fail over time whether the radio has been used or not If you have just acquired a radio that hasn't been turned on in 20 years - it probably won't be in working order Ver
27 Repair Bench Requirements Minimum of 4x6 foot work space Several 120VAC 15 Amp power outlets Good lighting Directional flood light a big plus Magnifier lens a plus for older eyes Hand tools Needle nose and jaw pliers Philips and flat blade screw drivers large and small tips Wire cutters Analog VTVM Oscilloscope Stable RF Signal Generator SWR RF dummy load Soldering Station Solder wick (#4) High and Low wattage irons Lots of Time Speaker Antenna Manuals Variable Isolated AC Supply Ver
28 NE7X - Workbench Ver
29 Electrical Troubleshooting Procedures Receiver Power supply 120 VAC and 6/12 AC for filaments (VTVM) B+ DC (VTVM) Audio (Scope) Test audio path from volume pot to speaker Oscillator / Mixer (Scope) RF front end (RF generator or Xtal calibrator) Tube BIAS, HV, AGC (VTVM) Dial alignment to WWV (5/10/15/20 MHz) IF (RF Generator) Tube BIAS, HV, AGC, open coil (VTVM) Detector (RF probe connected to VTVM or scope) Ver
