Part 24 RCA 262 The Unveiling!
RCA Allwave 262 Radio installed back in the cabinet. I left what was thought to be the original grill cloth in place. If it is not the original, I might replace it with a RCA "Aztec" pattern from Grillcloth.com. The AM band works much better in the daytime so I think it might be outdoor lighting or a streetlamp causing the interference. I need to find this interference since it is crimping my style! Works great on shortwave bands B,C and D. Band A works great in the daytime. Band X which is longwave, I'm not getting too much on this. Could use a nice long outdoor wire for the longwave.

Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments!
ReplyDeleteOnly thing is i've had two RCA cabinets refinished in the long past with very
ReplyDeletedisappointing results. the refinisher finished the cabinet "natural" and it does not look like the other I have. I have concluded that RCA put pigment in their finishes
Nice Shortwave (Glow Bug) Radio Porn. Haha. Sweet radio.
ReplyDeleteare there worm holes in the case. they scare me did you have to do some thing to be shire they are gone and not still in the wood
ReplyDeleteThanks, I have been working on old sets simce 1984 or so, so I know about what is involved. I like to keep things looking original, restuffing capacitors, etc. I still haven't had a chance to remove the chassis, but soon.Yes, the dogbone resistors are usually drifted high in value.SInce the set is somewhat working, I anticipate no real problems with the recap.RCA usually has great schematics, I have a full set of Riders :) Take care.
ReplyDeletei'll let the better half know...
ReplyDeleteI love they way you started this video. A typical 1950s - 1960s television commercial style using the alure of a beautiful woman to tout their product. Very nice radio and restoration job. Gary
ReplyDeleteI had to replace about 98 percent of the resistors since they were WAY out of spec.
ReplyDeleteI suggest, if you haven't worked on radios to practice with an easier one. This one is tough due to the wiring harnesses in the radio to the "circuit boards" that have the resistors and caps. I had to replace some of the wiring also. Just to give you a helpful heads up of what to expect.
PS Your 281 is a really great radio. One of the finest built by RCA or anyone.
Nice resto. I bought an RCA 281 and have not had a chance to work on it yet. The stupid auction house had it plugged in and said it 'worked' You know how that is.. In any case, I plan to recap it. All parts seem ok ,trans, speaker, etc.I've not had a chance to compare the two, but at first glance your chassis looks similar to the 281.
ReplyDeleteTake care (rabbitt)
This is why I made another video called RCA 143. I have found a spare chassis I can take parts out to repair the RCA 143 and most parts will also fit the RCA 262. Hopefully I have enough spare parts in case something breaks.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS !! GREAT JOB !! I m from Argentina and we have lots of all kind of old radios, but its very hard to get parts for fix it.
ReplyDeleteI pick up CRI, (China Radio International), Radio Havana, Europe, and Canada quite easily.
ReplyDeletedoes it play radio internationally?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps, hair curlers look like the tube shields!
ReplyDeleteFunny how some of the tube shields look like hair curlers.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the kind comments. My wife did dress up just for the video, for the 1934 model year RCA radio! I got the Stainless Steel paint at either Lowes or Home Depot, but I can't remember which one. I have a series on Philco 16B too if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteWonderful video! I really enjoyed seeing this fine piece. Sounds great. Did your wife dress up just for this video??? Where di you buy the stainless steal paint?
ReplyDeleteJack, Thank you so very much
ReplyDeleteHey, John! This is what these elderly giants should look and sound like! Beautiful job! And your wife did a great job in showing off the "new" RCA! :) Jack
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think it's the way the radio waves bounce off the ionosphere. Some of the electromagnetic energy is absorbed by the ionospere too. I wonder if the phase shifts a little too. That's an interesting idea that I better start investigating! I agree it's a cool sound that gets you hooked.
ReplyDeleteI heard the time standard when you first turned on the radio.That is a gorgeous radio! I am aquiring an RCA 242 in the summer ,very similiar to yours and I can hardly wait.Those round dials are stunning! I really enjoy watching your videos,they have given me a wealth of information as I am new to this. I love the sound of shortwave ,the way it swishes in and out of phase or whatever, such a cool sound!
ReplyDeleteWow! Are you or anyone else familiar with the radio I posted about here? It was an old stereo that had tubes, and from the above discription the top slid and had the tuner and record player. I might also add there was a provision for external speakers for other places in the house which my grandparents had in the basement.
ReplyDeleteWell all caps were replaced except for some mica caps and of course the trimmers. 99 percent of the resistors were way out of spec. and the alignment was way off. check out the videos. Oh yeah I had to repair one speaker, then that had a voice coil scraping the sides so I repaired another speaker and modified it to fit this radio electrically and physically. I also rewound one of the coils. Whew! Made me tired just thinking about it.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! to say the least..
ReplyDeleteNo, the plants have nearly grown together outdoors, planted as seen in this first video. Those wire cages are the first of three wire support systems that provide support for the plants as they grow. There is an update video of this garden up, that shows the plants as they appeared on June 19. I'll place the links soon.
ReplyDeleteWAY .... toads are ferocious ... I have a PIT TOAD that I walk every day and scare old ladies with.
ReplyDelete> but they are nearly grown together already.
ReplyDeleteWow, really, amazing! You are talking about the inside grow room? WOW. Any picture of it ... I was wondering what the wire mesh is for?
This grow is very viable from the air. The plants are actually planted too close I haven't updated yet but they are nearly grown together already.
ReplyDeletet-10???? you should be using t-5s fail
ReplyDeletecool setup, very impressive ... those plants are really far apart ... can this be spotted from the air ?
ReplyDeleteNo way an Attack Toad!

I'm WAY Fuckin pumped to see! Good stuff man.
ReplyDeleteI bet that shits guna be packed by October 6 pounds forshure
ReplyDeleteSo I have been out to sluggers place recently to shoot our next slugger update, and there will be very little elbow room. Those plants are huge! We're still playing catch up as it is on getting videos out but prepare to be amazed. And to all of you that thought they spacing was too large... Wait 'till you see that slugger has done!
ReplyDeleteThese plants are gunna be big. Looks awesome. Spacing is perfect in my opinion.... It's nice to have elbow room.
ReplyDeleteSuper official set up
ReplyDelete6 pounds a plant is a nice pull, but it's not really anything to hold over this guys head either. I suspect these plants will average around 6 pound each by the end of the season. Don't forget its pretty early in the year. I might add, what your buddy has done and what you have done are not the same thing. Investing in infrastructure is not throwing away money.
ReplyDeleteReally? A carbon filter for an outside garden? Even if it was possibly to filter free flowing air, why would you want to?
ReplyDeleteleaf burn from the lights at night? What on earth are you talking about? Please.. you have me totally lost.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally many counties in California have articulated a maximum number of plants per legal parcel of land. This often changes from year to year. A garden that is mean to hold 99 one year may only be allowed 25 the next.
ReplyDeletehes getting leaf burn from the lights at night
ReplyDelete
does he have a carbin filter setup for the smell
ReplyDeletei just posted a video of my grow!!!!
