Hello, I have my broken tube radio here and wanted to do some work on the inside. The radio has been unplugged for about a month and has been in the garage for a day. Are the dangerous voltages still inside or can you touch them now and nothing will happen?
I own an Intimo 5430 East German tube radio, which plays well. However, the volume varies from station to station. Sometimes the reception is very loud on one station, and quiet on another. I have to constantly adjust the volume when tuning to a station. The radio has five tubes: ECC85, ECL82, ECH81, EBF89 or…
Hello, I have just bought this radio, it has arrived, it turns on, everything works, I can hear some noise, but as soon as I turn the station wheel, the pointer on the radio that moves to set the station, it turns but the thing doesn't move and it squeaks a bit, what should I…
Hello, it's been a while now since this Grundig radio stopped working. I plugged it in and it played music for about 10 minutes and then nothing happened, it was just silence and when I plug it in nothing works anymore, there is no sound, nothing. What should I do? From the front From behind…
I got an old tube radio from a friend to refurbish. I've sanded off the old paint and am supposed to apply a clear coat, but does anyone have any ideas on what I can use? I'd be happy to provide a link.
I have a working tube radio from Nordmende's Carmen series.
Hello. I have a Nordmende tube radio with five tubes, but only three are lit. Everything works perfectly, the volume is good, the FM tuner is good. They get warm but don't light up. Do you have any tips? Or should I just replace them? The 2 are at the front
I have a chassis that unfortunately has the following problem: FM reception is good up to 93 MHz. From there, up to 100 MHz, all I can hear is noise. After that, reception simply stops. Unfortunately, I can't read circuit diagrams.
I have a similar speaker installed in a cabinet at home! It also has these solder connections. Now I want to connect my speaker to my phone. What's the best way to do this? What kind of cable should I use for soldering, and do I need an amplifier?
I bought an Intimo5430 DDR radio for €5 at a flea market on Sunday. The I/O switches on these radios, where the volume potentiometer (value: 500 kOhm) is also integrated, always break. This is also the case with this radio. The previous owner removed the I/O switch and volume potentiometer, desoldered the two power wires…
Good day, I removed this capacitor from an old tube radio. Underneath the paper cover with the label is more paper; the pages are made of a tar- or wax-like material. I came across the term "tar capacitor" online, but I couldn't figure out how this type is constructed. Does it really use tar as…
Good day, I love old technology, unfortunately I haven't always been so lucky. I had the problem with an old CRT monitor that it got too hot and smoked like crazy :/ Since then, I've been very cautious. Can something like this happen with a CRT TV? Or are they more resilient than screens? Should…
