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's is a fast dying art form and it's guys like you who keep it alive. I myself restore 40 year old CB radio'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 restored. I'm very proud of the work i do because i get to hear these old radio'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. You know so much more than I do that you move much faster than I would. I have to make notes on questions and research things, but I still learn a lot. Keep up the great videos! Much appreciated.
