The restoration of vintage radios is becoming more popular all the time, as the vacuum tube technology is appealing to people as most of the media equipment today is not easy to repair, or certainly not as easy for a technician as is the case with a nicely designed wooden vacuum tube cabinet from the past.

I am a PC Tecnician, have been for 25 years. This is how I try to do things.

I have been following Mr. Carlson for several years now. I love his shop. My shop is a foxhole in comparison, but I too earn a living in my retirements years, restoring monochrome and color television, Radio, computers, iPads, iPhones , vintage test equipment and RCA 45 RPM record players of the 1950’s. I also build Theremin devices fabricating my own printed circuit boards. Electronics has been my life’s work since 1962. My last gig was teaching electronics at Swarthmore College and providing equipment support to the plasma fusion physics lab under government grants.

You, sir, do beautiful work. You have a very unusual combination of technical, engineering, and creative abilities... and proficiency in creating excellent, very well-presented videos, to boot. My hat is off to you. You're a rare breed these days. An absolute treat to watch and listen to. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

As a recording engineer I should know more about the pixies in the pipelines, but I know just enough to not get electrocuted (I'm more of a cable-running, knob-twirling kinda guy), but I have to say I really enjoy watching these restoration videos. Somewhere from the distant past things my high school electronics teacher said comes back to me through the fog. But one thing that does come crystal clear is how much you love your work, and it shows in the precision, care and expertise you display. If I ever had a precious piece of vintage gear that needed to be restored, no matter how much of a hassle it would be to get it to you, I would do it. Wonderful stuff!

I taught electronics in an eastern state college. Preparing a lesson plan and carrying it thru is a difficult task, let alone putting on the show. Your class methodology is perfect. Presentation superb keeping us glued to the class.

I don't know why,but any kind of "tube" really gets my interest.It's so beautiful to watch that green eye tube in operation.

I’ve learned so much from your videos and just wanted to thank you. I’ve always had an interest in electronics, but never pursued it either professionally or educationally. I learned the basics and used to tinker as as a kid, but at 50, I had barely touched a soldering gun in all those years. In the last year I wanted to introduce kit building and soldering to my daughter just to see if she had any interest. As it turns out, not really. But the bug bit me again so I looked up heathkit and purchased one of their clock kits. Feeling nostalgic again, I decided I wanted to buy a turntable to play all those albums I collected back in the 80s. That led to me building a phono preamp kit. I just wanted to keep building kits but there really wasn’t anything for me to build that would be all that useful for me (so I thought). That had me looking at the few non-working antique radios I had collected over the years and thinking, I can fix that! To get started, I hit KZread and was happy to find lots of great info. I had an inkling that capacitor replacement was going to be the primary concern here and that led me to your many videos on the subject. It’s only been a few months and thanks to the pros like you I’ve restored a number of old radios and have purchased many more on ebay that will keep me busy over the long winter. You and your peers even inspired me to start taking videos of my work and start my own channel. I’m really glad to have discovered this new hobby and again, wanted to drop a comment to thank you for the knowledge and inspiration.

Love all this oldschool stuff, really makes me realize how far electronics have come in such a short time. Gotta appreciate how spoiled we are with Bluetooth speakers and any music we want at our fingertips but respect the steps along the way

Wish I had met you years ago had a 1947 Stromberg Carlson with a specifically built cabinet for very base audio the radio stood about 4 foot tall and had all the bands and magic eye this one did. It was always a thrill to listen to foreign countries on it.

Beautiful work! Excellent repair and the Step by Step was well explained. Its great to hear sound come from such a jewel. Thank You Mr. Carlson.

Beautiful radio and fantastic job. Probably the best looking radio out of the four or so I've watched you do so far.

Still around today. Yup. That’s wicked. What a beauty. It must have felt like magic back in its day to listen to this thing pull out of thin air, the news and music and entertainment of the day

The only thing more impressive than the visual design of this radio is your expertise in restoring it to full working condition.

Wow, really impressive piece of kit! Starting at the really good looking wooden cabinet, that much effort they put into details electronic wise. Plus the great sound as result of the typical low noise figure these tube radios are producing when there's no station transmitting and the "warm" sound of the filters/ speaker chassis do produce. I love it! Nice restauration for a nice radio. BTW: I always thought the linear bar-graph like magic-eye would be best, but having seen this radio the eye-like one absolutely got me. Kind of hypnotic... ;-) Thanks for the nice video, nice job!

That Stromberg Carlson 240 is a beauty! It's awesome that you repair these things. I used to build FM transmitters for pirate radio stations, using the QQE03/12 tube. That worked like a charm.

Wow, a little over 7 years. I remember watching this video when it was first posted. I was looking for some quality content in the post 2021 holiday lull and decided to revisit some early Mr. Carlsons Lab videos. It's hard to go wrong there, right? This Stromberg Carlson 240-H is still drool worthy. Thanks again, Mr. Carlson. I'm a big fan of Stromberg Carlson radios from the 20s and 30s. Much like Stromberg Carlson telephone equipment, they're built to a high standard and often quite heavy compared to their contemporary counterparts. The pride of my radio collection is a S-C Model 1-A battery radio from 1924. It's a typical 5-Tube Neutrodyne set from that era, but it's beautifully built and would likely survive a 10 foot drop with no substantial damage.

The tube AM radios seem to work much better than new solid state ones, they do not pick up nearly as much interference. Nice job and a beautiful radio.

Hi there, I just subbed this morning. I'm an older guy who's getting ready to take the plunge and learn electronics (not a complete noob, but darn close) and what really made me sit up and take notice was what you said about cap replacement. I watch a lot of restoration videos on the KZreads (I can absorb a lot through osmosis, LOL) and what everyone else does is what you talked about; chopping a lead in half and soldering in a new cap at the exact same location. In some cases, they're making the leads longer. I'm not married to the idea that the inside of a radio has to look stock (there are some who use the paper sleeves from old electrolytic caps and "re-stuff" them with modern caps and hot glue) I just want it to work as well or better than stock. Bottom line; maybe in a future video you could show us what choices you make in the re-capping process. Not a full re-capping, as that would be tedious like you said, but where and how you would relocate caps and wires. Thanks for a nice clear, non-handheld video, as that really makes it better.

Long story short, I'll be more than happy to wrap it very well (lamps wrapped in foam, etc..) and mail it to you, I'll even throw 20$ on reg. shipping, no insurance from Qc, Canada. (If I spend more, gf will go crazy, saying she says it's a piece of junk eating space and collecting dust.) I think this piece is worth something (not money, that would be an insult) and I honestly think you understand my concerns about the future of this superb piece of history.
