  Thank you for teaching us how to do alignment. I've always wondered how it is done. Thanks again!

  So that's what you call those flies. Always wondered whenever I was on the West Coast. The things I learn from you. Nice repair job. I'm surprised Westinghouse didn't try to find a few DeForest tubes to throw in there, too.

  Nice job on this Westinghouse, Seth. I've got a couple of Westinghouse radios that use a 6Y6 as an output tube. On one radio, someone had substituted a single 6F6 and on the other radio someone had substituted two 6L6's as output tubes. Those tubes were not in a push pull configuration, but were in parallel. Neither of those tubes are proper substitutes for a 6Y6 but they worked somewhat. I'm sure the radios are happier with the correct 6Y6 tubes in their rightful place. - Thomas

  That’s a neat radio. 1947 is very early for FM. I can’t imagine much being on that band at the time. Those domino capacitors always looked cool (unless they were cracking open).

  Someone showed that by adding new solder to a place you want to remove a component from you can minimize the probability of a trace peeling off when you desolder it. I haven't tried it yet as it does seem counterintuitive to me. But I've seen it done. The clock radio sounds pretty good and you got the clock working, nice. Up for sale at the museum!

  You kind of lucked out, 9 chances out of 10 just spraying down and squirting oil/lubing won't fix these players. Virtually every time I try this approach and end up having to take most of it apart, clean, grease every part and adjust to get it to work right. I even have one I tried twice taking it fully apart, clean and lube and it works perfect in all ways except it will never return the arm at the end of the record. So, I have to twist the knob to reject. Enjoy these easy victories, I have more changers than I can count that need a rebuild because this method failed. No offense I and just sharing my personal experience.

  Packard Bell second 5R series which kept the same Bakelite plastic and colors in 1956. The 5R3 came with a handle on top and had a third knob which the 5R1 didn't have ( the red one Seth quickly showed). Very nice job once again!

  @@ethelryan257 Read that they were reusing cabinets from a 1947 production run using colored wood flour to mix colors so that would mean Bakelite. But the 5R3 may have used plastic by 1956. This according to an owner who had a 5R1 (from the radio museum page on it).
