Add Bluetooth to a Tube Radio without the buzz and noise. Bluetooth receiver board KRC-86B V4.0
Adding a Bluetooth receiver to a tube radio is a great way to increase its usefulness. You can either use an external one with a battery, or connect it to the internal power supply. The problem is that generally the latter option adds a lot of noise to the audio, in the form of an irritating buzzing. This video shows how to get around that issue.
Saba Freiburg W2 restoration log part 8 (final). A look at the finished radio with sound samples. Also a great discovery that gives even better sound, and a demo of the K-Lupe function, a fine tuning adjustment for short wave.

SABA is my favourite tube radio brand. These radios were the absolute best in their day, and getting them back to life is a real pleasure, albeit a complex one.

Telefunken Jubilate restoration - Part 1. A great little tube radio.
I've been trying to get my hands on one of these for some time. I love these small tube radios, and am anxious to start the restoration. It is a Telefunken Jubilate from 1953, and not the Jubilate 6, as I believed at the time of editing this video.
This one is special because it has FM, which is very important for me as I like to have these radios in actual daily use, and FM seems to be the only worthwhile band these days.
The fact that it is effectively a 'hot chassis' set dampened my enthusiasm a little, but not too much.
The way things are crammed inside poses a challenge, but what the hell: That's what this hobby is all about!

I decided to plot each preset using Visual Analyser through my PC Scope Buffer unit, to see how the shaping is achieved.
Enjoy the video.

My fascination with Braun continues.
This time it's the Regie 450S, an iconic tuner / amplifier from the 70's (1976-1978).
Unfortunately, even before I could switch it on, I heard sound from the interior. Something was definitely rattling in there, so no power for now.
A closer look revealed a possible attempt at a repair, with some very charred components and a loose board.
Hmm, probably going to be interesting.
Stick around, Might be fun.

The Stereo function on this Grundig 4006 is very interesting. It obviously only works for the pick-up or tape inputs, and not for radio, but nevertheless, the switching used is really genius. A closer analysis may shed some light on the thinking of those Grundig engineers.This is also the first time I've come across a see-saw phase inverter in the real world. Should be interesting.

Time to start with the adjustments outlined in the service manual.
These are very comprehensive, and start with adjustments to the idle current of the output pair of transistors, as well as some other biasing and monitoring issues.

Loewe-Opta is one of the tube radio brands from the 50s that I really like. It uses the very common German set of tubes, and also the same (or similar) design principals that you'll find on many of these brands from the same era. Restoring one of these is something I would normally do, but this particular radio, a Truxa 1701W, had something else that I just could not resist: the ugliest paint job I have ever seen! I just had to save it.
A radio as good as this one deserves to be better presented, so I just couldn't resist the challenge.
Hope you enjoy the series.

In the 60's and 70's, transistorised world receivers became the rage, and Grundig did not get left behind. In fact, depending on who you ask, this brand was actually in the forefront of world receiver design, with models that became truly iconic.
The Satellit 2100, is one of those. It was launched as a progressive improvement on a few really great receivers that gained a faithful market following, and is to this day something to behold.
I've wanted one of these for some time, but the prices are quite steep. I got lucky here, so this is it - my own Grunding Satellit 2100.
I didn't count on it having so many layers of grime, but that just adds to the challenge.
Stick around. It'll be fun.
