I had a radio repaired with some of those brown caps, they were all faulty. I named them turd caps. Because I could. :) The president has declared the state of emergency but we vehicle inspectors are still forced to work with the public in the continent. We are screwed. Thanks for sharing!

Turd caps. Sounds about right. Actually, the portuguese term sounds even more appropriate :) Where are you based? In madeira it’s quite easy to follow the rules as everything is quite accessible. We also have a much more close-knit community here and mutual support is simpler than in a big city. I managed to get my daughter back from university in Vila Real about a week ago. I don’t know how I’d handle it if she was still there alone. Keep yourself safe.

Thanks, like millions of other folks across the world today, I am seeking a bit of education and entertainment this afternoon. Your video popped up in the KZitem suggestions, and since it deals with my current interest I decided to take a look. It was a nice video, I may well stick around and see what else you can teach me even after we can come out from self imposed social restriction. Not a lot of change for me, I spend most of my days in a power recliner, my nights in a hospital bed and in between the high points of my day are the meals brought to me by my loving wife of 50+ years, and trips to the bathroom, while not a highlight, perhaps a change of scene. I do play with arduinos an build up circuits and such to pass the time but mostly it's KZitem on my little HP with it's quick processor, super quick SSD and 4K video performance.

Sorry, I am using Logitech webcam cameras and two microsoft webcams as well ( they are a little troublesome). I use Pinnacle studio Multicam capture to record, it lets me record multiple video streams at once. I import that into Pinnacle studio and can view all the streams at once and click on the stream I want in the video, like a director... camera 1, camera 2, camera 1 etc. The issue with the webcams is getting the focus right, autofocus at such close distance is no good, it will always focus on something you don't want. I have to use manual focus for each shot and for each camera. For shots in the workshop I just use one or two mobile phone cameras.

I was cruising your play list looking for a familiar face. I just finished recapping a Grundig Mandello which it turns out is the stereo console version of this radio. It even uses the same chassis. The hole next to the output tube is for the MPX decoder. Mine has a bigger power transformer and an extra audio output transformer in that gaping hole near the middle with it's companion valve off to one side. I have only watched the first in the series so far so I am looking forward to seeing what you find. I did have to 3D print a new drive disk for the tuning clutch, mine fell apart. I also have an issue with the mono/stereo switch not latching in stereo which I've not figured out yet. I need to check the alignment, AM I can do with the gear I have. FM will require some experimentation. The ECL86 output valves run $50 each and up here in the US and I had 4 bad ones. Two it came with and two I installed years ago. Luckily, I managed to find a pair for $14.

I recently repaired the center piece of an identical clutch mechanism on a 3192. Yours looks like to be in decent shape. They can crumble into pieces like mine did. I repaired it by using crazy glue to hold it together and also glued 80 grit sandpaper on both sides of the center piece. It moves very well on all bands.
