    This man is never stumped or frustrated by anything ... at least relative to his fellow YouTube restorers.  So fun to watch.

    “I need a speaker.  Let me find an old piece of plywood.”  I love how he handcrafts what he needs.

    Thank you so much for sharing this video. Restoring old radio&apos;s is a fast dying art form and it&apos;s guys like you who keep it alive. I myself restore 40 year old CB radio&apos;s and love doing it. I live in Perth Western Australia and with a population of 1.5 million people i am the guy that everyone goes too to have their old CB radio &nbsp;restored. I&apos;m very proud of the work i do because i get to hear these old radio&apos;s transmitting again and the owner enjoying using his old radio. <br>Keep up the wonderful work you are doing Ron.

    Another interesting radio and restoration video. &nbsp;You know so much more than I do that you move much faster than I would. &nbsp;I have to make notes on questions and research things, but I still learn a lot. &nbsp;Keep up the great videos! &nbsp;Much appreciated.
