That radio works quite quite good considering it has been out of service for several decades. The radio looks like a variation of a Rincan KFA-W71, who was likely the actual manufacturer. At time 11:48 in the video (schematic of the FM front end), the upper left 12 DT8 looks like the RF amplifier, upper right 12DT8 the mixer, lower left 12DT8, the AFC local oscillator frequency steering circuit, and the lower right, the Local Oscillator. I had a slightly lesser model of this radio (Rincan version) when I was about 7 years old. My home had concrete floors and I discovered the hard way that the chassis was hot and the chassis mounting screws protruded out the bottom of the cabinet. Touching the screws and floor simultaneously really lit me up. Of course, being an incurable techno-geek, I was always getting shocked anyway. One of the quality problems Japan was noted for was poor quality plastics. This radio was no exception: the plastic cabinet over the 50C5 sagged downward due to the heat given off from the tube.

I believe they show 50C5 and 35C5 as interchangeable to allow the radio to be used in either Japan or the USA. In Japan, the line voltage was 100 volts. I don't remember if they changed that recently but I'm pretty sure that would have been the case when this radio was made. A 35C5 would make the normal running voltage 107 volts versus 122 volts with the 50C5 if we take the voltage ratings literally. Of course this doesn't matter in practice too much. A 35C5 would have a shorter life if this radio was used in the USA but not with a 50C5 due to the difference in current draw on the filaments.

Silver mica disease is a build up of conductable material in the capacitor of an IF-Can it kinda acts like a domino affect. As the IF-can builds up carbon it starts to arc and short out the more it makes carbon the faster it makes even more carbon in the can until it no longer works. With radios like this one share IF-Cans between Am and FM and those don't have issues it's the ones that have just 2x 455 KC IF-cans. They burn up usually the 1st one.

I have a Lloyd's table radio that uses almost the exact same circuit, the only differences being that mine has only a single speaker and no tone control. Be careful with the capacitor across the power supply rectifier. In my radio, it had a brand name like "oil con." It turned out that this was an oil-impregnated paper capacitor, and it short-circuited! Fortunately, the designers included a fuse in my radio, so damage was averted. The four stages in the FM tuner schematic are, starting at top left and going clockwise: grounded grid RF amplifier, mixer, local oscillator, and reactance tube AFC. I am surprised that this relatively simple front end works so well.

Meguro capacitors? I may have happened upon the name before, upon taking radios 📻 apart. AM and FM 📻 have two separate dials on this. I bet it also has two dial cords. That can be very hard and frustrating to fix, if two dial cord systems are combined. FANTASTIC dial cord pulley, and tuning gangs. At least, the company had to equip this with dial lights 💡. It even looks like 👍 that radio’s 📻 tube type. This must be a 1960’s. Lloyd’s has gone downhill since then. I received my first Lloyd’s, all plastic home 🏠 stereo in 1984, from Costco, for $59.99. It had dual cassette decks 🆙 front, a record player, and AM/FM radio 📻. This set also had veneered, particleboard speakers 🔊 . Probably not a far cry 😢 from the modern 1988 Crosley of any sort. It did me fine, until I broke a recording arm in it for the cassette deck . He charged me $59.99 to install a recording arm, but it didn’t record tapes anyway. Everything still worked, all ya couldn’t do is record tapes. I sure wouldn’t twist the dials back and forth like 👍 that. I’d be afraid 😱 of putting that much more wear on the potentiometers Your friend, Jeff.

I just got through messing with a dial cord like that, it's not that hard to work with. I first marked on each side of the cord holder, on the string/cord with a red marker so I'd know where to clamp the cord down again. You can loosen the screw enough to pop the string out from the clamp, or go ahead and loosen it all the way. When putting it back together, I found it was easier to barely start the screw in the clamp first, then drop the chassis back in, line it up where you marked it's position then tuck the cord underneath using something like a flat-screwdriver then tighten clamp. I just started getting into these old radios, don't know much yet but this worked for me.

To remove the chassis you loosen the screws with the paint on the back of the pointers lift the string out of the clamp, you probably have to dig off the paint, the pointers stay in the cabinet, then just re- insert the string in the clamp and snug up the screws when you have the pointers set to the dial markings, usually the last mark on the low end, if there's a sams it may have exact instructions

Will become mine? 😁 I lie these relatively spartanic Japanese radios. Here in Germany we got also some. Most of them were AA5 ones medium wave. The brand was mostly "Tribona". I own three different of them. These are very sensitive and have very sharp station dial in. One more I still searching for is close to yours, its brand is "Salofe". It has nearly the same features like yours, but is extremely hard to get. I hope some day I will find one.

I used to have a ton of these kinds of sets after a fire at an importer nearby. Generally good stuff. This was the era that the Japanese were trying to shake off the cheap and shoddy image. This particular one was made by Rincon. There was another major maker back then (beside the "name" brands - Sony, National/Panasonic, etc.) but I can't recall it now... Began with a "S"... Foster was a major supplier of speakers for decades. They could be found in Japanese and U.S gear back then. Interesting aside about this era: this was when Pioneer started out making low-end gear. I still have a rim-drive (kid's) tape recorder from back then. They had been supplying speakers since the 30s but were expanding to make amplifiers and turntables in the early to mid 60s.

Sanyo. There was also Toshiba, and Yaou Electric, makers of the General radio. Our first transistor radio growing up was a General three band, 12 transistor portable.

Been wanting to ask, what happened to the field day 2018 video? Still have the link to it in my browser history, the aesthetics on it were nice.

Is it by any chance HDMI compatible, or should it be in a landfill with the rest of my lack of HDMI compatibility. You should see my stack of computers and cell phones that still work very well, but was made incompatible by the software companies. Ever occur to you and others we are being screwed blue, really not any improvements, just changes so your older stuff doesn't work anymore.

I’m serious Shango...let’s talk turkey. I’d like to buy that radio. It’s a nice one. Of course the radio market here isn’t as good as LA, but it’s not bad.
