Hi and welcome to my channel. This channel is dedicated to my interest vintage electronics, particuarily vintage radio and TV. I spent many happy afternoons in a TV repair shop after school. I have a small collection of vintage radios, TVs and test equipment. I'm always happy to hear from people who were in the trade.
Trying to gather together info on early radio and TV in Ireland. If you were in involved in the TV trade, Pirate radio or RTE in the early days please get in touch via the Email address below.
Sometimes the only way you'll find out if something will work is by having a go.

There are so many different factories that has made these radios and there are so many different things that are different from each factory.
Hi. To connect an external antenna you must solder the output of the A wire of the antenna to the internal pole of a connector such as the PL259, and the (E)earth wire of the wire must be connected to the body of the PL 259 connector, right?
Didnt know it was on ........... next year !
Fantastic love it , great 2CU back on the videos 👍👍👍
Great idea 💡
I bought 3 of these very nice looking lights in 2023 in Germany and now in 2024 no one works although the two have been used only for initial check. Obviously this Ningbo lithium rechargeable battery inside is a total junk. So the ALDI quality control system.
you have a nice murphy radio like I used to have
Hey mate what a great set up .fantastic..Hope you have a great time .
Wish i was there😊
Wish i was there
Great idea! Could also kick start the hobby in some way in some people by placing all these nice sets in front of the public. For me it was the sight of a large 50's 'piano key' set playing a station on FM with a bright green new magic eye in a market. This started the hobby for sure for me as I had a Bush DAC90a belonging to the other half waiting to be repaired.
I wish I could’ve been there! Never see anything like this in Scotland although I’m sure events like this must take place!
I have a "Spartus" branded one that is functionally identical. Different mold, but likely the same chipsets. Cheap and NASTY! But hey, it's tolerable to work on! The "TV on a chip" is now in the realm of the dead though.
Good to see you and great chatting to you. Barry.
Just got one. Waiting for pinch rollers to arrive. Rubber cam wheel underneath is slipping so I don't know if it's going to work right. Love your accent by the way!
The ojno roadshow, love it.
Well done ojnoj - hoping your keeping well and looking after yourself. 👍
Great to see you out and about…and some of your collection…👍🍺🍺
Excellent work 👍🏿
Good idea. Never seen it done before
Looks great.. Nice day for it too.
I cant see any crap, long time no see JJ , hope you are keeping well.
Wouldn't recognize you without your white coat Don't forget take it 😊
I really hope you are keeping well - really looking forward to your videos!
Best of luck with your trip ...Go steady on the bends....Shame your not closer..All the best ...
So, I hear it's bus driving you're into now. How'd you get into that sort of thing? ,😉😇🤦
If only, JJ, if only. If you're ever in Yorkshire, let us know. If you're ever in East Yorkshire, shout as you come past! One day, I'd love to meet you and Michael Dranfield together - one day, maybe......
One day I'm sure, thanks.
Ahh I'll bring the kids over
See you there Gerry.
What’s the craic ? Howya love your channel. I mainly work on guitar amps and the like. ( non professional) A good mate asked me to have a look at his grandads PYE PJ500, I’d say it’s 1954/55 filter caps shorted and fried the mains transformer. Would you know where I’d pick one up ? Cheers Trevor (Dublin)
Amazing! It's easy to forget how good 405 mono can be.
Where are you buddy ??
I use to repIr vacs and washers and microwaves
I do enjoy watching your videos I love old cat tvs
I had no idea anyone used longwave at all since the 70s. Sad to see them go.
You alright oj, not seen you for a while
I looked at a used one today at a radio rally and liked it but the seller wanted £10 more thna Amazon!!! I've ordered and it should be here tomorrow. I agree, 'There's not much to her'! Thanks for the video.
I would take a Indoor FM Antenna and turn it into a Slim-Jim Antenna for FM by removing the feeder to the coax socket and use a piece of coax with a coaxial plug attached connected to the required point for maximum signal and that is that.
Com um rádio desse eu bati meu recorde em escuta de FM. 126 rádios contadas uma por uma, com a antena telescópica original. Tenho os vídeos como prova!
Fantastic design and build quality
Wow. I built one of those Roamer 10 RK3 radios in that PW ad back in 1978. I never did get the VHF receiver to work but I used that radio extensively for SWLing. Brings back many happy memories of tracking down Voice of Vietnam etc.
i had a sony trinitron for 25 years and it was still working when i gave it away.
These are radios from 1975 and have approximately 100-150 mW (depending on the battery charge) of output power in AM modulation. Thanks to the higher frequency than CB radio, they have a better range. They were powered by 10 1.26v Ni-CD cells, so the standard power supply was 12.6V. These radios are not CB versions, but versions for civil defense and industry. When the frequency is 29 MHz instead of CB 27 MHz, the range is noticeably higher. In an open field outside the city, the CB 27 MHz version has a range of about 1 km, here it should be even more. Of course, it requires a minimum voltage of 12V but no more than 14V. These were very successful radios. They didn't break down. You need to speak very close to the microphone, lightly touching the radio grid with your lips. The microphone sensitivities were so low back then. They consumed very little electricity. The standard battery had 10 cells of 1.26V and 225 mAh. Today they are described as 1.2V. In the past, more voltage was given on the label because the permissible current loads were lower, typically up to 0.2C, i.e. up to about 45 mA, and therefore the voltages during operation were higher. Good health. ps. They require holding in your hands, preferably both hands or a 250 cm counterweight. The 27 MHz CB version requires even more counterweight, the higher frequency is beneficial. A 12V power supply (not 13.8v) provides a counterbalance at home, but in the past regulations prohibited its use to prevent the RF signal from entering the power supply network.
Many thanks for your detailed reply.
Hey there, I have this exact set but it'died on me and wont turn back on at all
Can you help me I over voltage mine I manage to fix the no handle error but the auto sleep is not working anymore
Bro works at the BBC because it’s test card f
Where did you plug red wire on the receiver ? 50 or 500 Ohms ? 😀
What is your record for wire length in RX ? The longer the wire, the better the reception ? 😀 Is the wire necessarily laid out in a straight line? No return possible ? 😀 Does the wire placed on the ground have the same reception as placed up high ? 😀
