Technology has gone from user-friendly to user-hostile.

To be honest, I prefer to simply see them as circuits in different timelines and I don't dismiss any of them. Of course, you wouldn't start building tube radios or what not, from scratch using old components since there are a lot of easier ways to do that now, using modern ones that are more maintainable and cost effective too. To restore and maintain old electronics equipment, now that's something I totally agree with. 🙂

I have never seen GE tube radio built this well. Pleasent suprise, looks to be built better than most mid range Hallicrafters. In same class wih Saba, Philips and Mende concert receivers. I have more than 100 tube radios, lots of Hallicrafters, some GE and RCA but mostly big Euro multiple speaker units. When that GE was new you could get good used car for its value. Year old family car. SABA with autotune was really expensive, hand built with price tag like volkswagen. Band switching on this one was probably done by sharing same drum with early TV sets, ony different discrete components on those strips as frequency differs.

The last one I saw was about 10 years ago.

The schematic shows that the IF Transformers are indeed 455 kHz. The dual-conversion IF sections would use either 8 or 10 MHz (if HF-oriented or an FM receiver with 10.7 MHz) as the first IF frequency, or would use 262 kHz as the second IF (if AM or Broadcast-oriented). It's so much easier to align with a single IF frequency. Such a nice RF section design. I'm shocked to see that the "Tiny Chief" capacitors are really "tiny grief". I have also been amazed at the leakiness of the Black Beauty caps, as we used to leave them in place in the 1970s. But then, time and testing methods do march on. It's so good that you can teach an old dog new tricks...

When I was ten in 1962 I swapped my friend a bike for one of those old radios. I thought it was a great deal, and I'm sure he must have thought I was crazy as he happily rode off on my bike! But I loved it, kept it in my bedroom and would stay up most of the night listening to short wave stations. That was the start of my love affair with radio. Now at sixty nine years old the love is still going strong. Thanks again, Paul, every video you make takes me back across my lifetime of radio.

My gosh, stumbled onto your run through the GE receiver this morning. I've been away from electronics for many years but watched you go through to the point where you tested the tubes! A Heathkit tube tester! I made a few Heathkits but never knew they made testers. Now there is something for the ages, the spell checker showed my misteak(pho-pho) that there apparently is no word Heathkit. So now this crusty old (just short of 83) can teach this 2020's laptop a thing or two, well, one anyway. My life and retired life has been filled with many other things but a little came back as I watched you go through it. Maybe time will permit me to 'attend" one of your classes later but for now I must run to the coffee clutch of old guys kicking around the worlds problems. Later, JimM

i agree with you. nowadays they dont include tools necessary to repair your electronical things anymore, things have changed. because modern age consumer electronic barely needs any repair anyway. and when it does need any repair, your average user cant even do anything about it now can they? for example an television. what on earth would your average joe do if the manufacturer includes a philip screwdriver? i mean, what problems occur on tv nowadays that needs the user to disassemble the tv itself? dead panel? blown up smd component? yeah what would a average person do with a philip screwdriver? replace the panel? replace a smd? nope. the average user dont even have the skill required to do it. you dont need to adjust silly pots hidden inside it anymore in modern tv. and most importantly, people who are able to replace a panel and/or smd (repairperson, "superuser", etc) are very likely to already have a complete set of screwdriver anyway. they wont need any extra set of screwdriver. and even if they do, the cost of them buying screwdrivers themselves are cheaper compared to if everybody pays for a included screwdriver. like, it's not even a free screwdriver is it? you're still paying for it. suppose only 10% of users know how to fix a tv. if you're including a screwdriver with all of the tv, 90% of the users will not even use it. waste of money and waste of screwdriver. most of them will end up useless because not used by the majority of the user because the majority of the user dont have any idea how to fix it. another example a topic famous for louis, a macbook. imagine apple including a pentalobe screwdriver in the box. now the fact is that the majority of macbook user dont even have any idea about basic electrical things. for example, changing battery. it is a wear thing that degrades over time and will need to get changed. we all know that apple love to use a super strong superglue to secure the battery. but still, a average user wont even dare to crack open a macbook and even touch the logic board, let alone unglueing the superglued battery with how flamable those batteries are when they get punctured. most of those pentalobe screwdriver will end up unused as well. another example to do a upgrade. suppose magic happen and there is a upgradable 2022 model macbook released. most of the users are still dont have any ideas about things to upgrade anyway. example upgrade ram, what speed or CL or form factor, etc do they need? there is so much details that a average user dont even know about. and in the end the one who upgrade it will be someone 5 years from now who bought it from the initial owner, who already know things about ram and most probably already have a complete set of screwdriver anyway. it is mostly a waste of money and material for screwdriver production to include those tools in modern age consumer electronics. because nowadays consumer electronics dont have potentiometer hiding inside that needs to be adjusted once a month anymore like in the good old days.
