Avominor repair?
Shall I attempt to repair the Universal Avominor or do I do the unthinkable and upcycle it?

Using a Molotow silver pen you can restore the Plastic bright work on your radios. You can aslo unscrew the pen and use a small bristle paint brush.. just be careful if you do! amzn.to/4aT3VHz Camera/Audio; GoPro HERO7 Black: amzn.to/2Lm1eDY Ulanzi Vlogging Case: amzn.to/2WRcDkz Rode VideoMicro amzn.to/2WTDTP7 Follow me on: driverfilmsshortwave driverfilmsSW instagram.c...

Absolutely repair it. You don't need a lamp or bluetooth speaker. Speak to me nicely, I have a schematic with all the bobbin resistance values for a 1941 AVOminor...
He’s a child rapist. He was unapologetic in his death.
keep it the way it is and repair it, there is a special place in hell for upcyclers 👹
Hear hear
Very nice. Looks like a nice repair nicely done
Not repaired yet, or do I upcycle?
@@driverfilmsshortwavechannel Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
right now (im on websdr) it is making a weird 50-60 hz hum?
I like this new generation of music.
Hi! Do you know if 15m band dipole works for another bands too? I mean, because of the harmonics. I planning to build a dipole, but I would like to use for more than one band.
Unsure. Never thought of checking. I've only used it a few times.
Do it has SSB,CW or only FM and how much wats on output?
FM only. 10W high and 1W low power
Please clip your fingernails
Nope Shan't can't make me Fuck off
0:40 impressive sounding background noise here
Blimey, some history there Dom and that book is in very good condition. 73 Chris M0RSF
Got some radio repair books from the early 60s. All in good condition.
That was my book. It's code for something "personal". BTW that book is covered in DNA. lol
I used youtubes video editor to blur out the sensitive info. All bits of paper have been shredded.
Womanian, fwequency, Euwope......😂🤣
What does the variable pot do?? I just put one together myself
what kind of antenna?
Diamond RH770 Telescopic whip
I really will have to get a 125xlt, Im trying to bring a Realstic 2006 back to life at the moment I'm even renewing the backlight to it. I had one in the 80's and loved it but these Bearcats look very decent bits of kit.
Those pens are great and come in different nib widths.
Nice Dom. As you know, I've been using Molotow liquid chrome pens for exactly this for a while now. My toppest, most tippety-top-top-tip is to dispense a little of the ink onto a disposable surface, and use a superfine bristle brush, smaller the better, for applying it. Any pressure at all otherwise on the pen nib results in an unwanted pool of shiny... ask me how I know...
Did your badge become more Silver than you wanted it to be?
These are a stylish design nice.
I do like the look of the old radios, no clutter and show-offy bits either!
I love my 680.
Catching this precise one just right now on my PL-600
Nice radio Don, thanks for showing. to us!
Hope to take it out portable soon when it the weather gets better!
Had a couple of these years ago had one in the car and ran one on packet radio. Worked very well.
I did see a video where a guy had the one that you can use with repeaters. He said they were good for packet radio. I hope to use this one when out portable soon!
One Admiral could control all the weapon platforms in any unit connected to the system...remotely...no need to transmit an order to another ship and wait for them to fire...he could pick a target and pick a ship with the weapon best suited for it... and trigger the launch from his station ... Im jealous....
Hope you had a good Christmas Dom and all the best for 2024. Looking forward to more of your videos and hopefully work you again sometime. Meeting up was great and maybe we can organise a meet up with more Activators soon. 73 Chris M0RSF
Hopefully We can get a HEMA gathering sorted this year. Happy New year!
Happty Christmas and a merry new year Dom!
Happy new Year George!
ooohhhh a multimetre that isn't a metre long! You have to put in all the resistataters the right way round or the electrons fall out the wrong way.
Great location that. I must pay a visit. Antenna looks good but I’d be a bit worried about putting all that stress directly on the connector personally. M7MDO
The SMA to bnc adapter sits flush to the radio. The T-piece takes up the strain, not that there is much strain.
I bought both variants, yet to build them, haven't got anywhere to put them, my grandson is autistic and into everything at the moment, I was thinking of a UV type LED, to mimic the flashing of sparks. Does a cooker lighter set it off?
Radio hamachers meet up in car parks on a hill... You got to watch them...
Nice to finally meet up in person as we’ve had some Summit to Summit QSO’s in days gone by. Interesting antenna setup that seemed to work well. Decent weather for this activation though shame it turned sour for the rest of your holiday. Thanks for the shout out Dom. 73 Chris M0RSF
Great to meet up! Until next time 73!
Thanks for the QSO Dom. Pinhaw Beacon is a nice summit for such an easy walk in. Shame the weather didn't stay like this for the rest of your holiday. 73 Chris M0RSF
Got three activations on so wasn't too bad. Good to get you and Natalie in the log!
Good
RTE are almost broke, closed down DAB and now LW.
A really interesting project
How did you source the speaker, or is that a trade secret? 🤔
Got it iff ebay. Search for 3W 8R Loud Speaker- 3 watt 8 ohm - 77mm
lovely elements there
Bro. Siair gave me so many years of hope, I Considered him a friend. I refuse to judge him, for his Sins I ask God to show mercy if he will, and I will pray for him tonight. God bless this pitiful and weak soul. He did all that he could do to obey and love you, remember the fallen one, the destroyer, the killer of all life, Bro. Stair is just another victim............BB
He was tame compared to other shortwave preachers. He was just incredibly boring and dragged out.
He raped children. He's burning in Hell with all the other false prophets and deceivers.
He purposely and maliciously beat men down and forced men’s daughters and wives to have sex with him while he worked the men like slaves! I personally was there. He was a witched and evil man. I now know what a plantation slave felt like.

I love catching the Moaning Hour where everyone is wailing to live piano music lmao
friend. I have a question for you. Alaways when turn on, start with 145.000 frequency? If you turn on with memory key, how works?
Ive uploaded a video on this showing how the memory works. Always defaults to 145.000 when switched on when the power has been removed.
Adónde lo venden el kit?
Thanks
I used an orange led on mine, looks more authentic.
Great video! Thinking of buying one. Did you ever get to test during a storm? Thanks!
Not yet. We don't get many thunder storms here. It does pick up static from the carpet though. I'll put a miliamp meter on it at some point and video the results.
Shame it takes such a long , long time to charge up 12 hrs Maybe using DURACELL ULTRA or ULTIMA batteries might be a far better idea to use on holiday or if you can be bothered waiting this boring length of time fine charge it up from about 6 pm night before till after breakfast (9 am) next day. But, length of running time on batteries average is not known. But, be great to know a estimate running time or someone to a running test one on the original rechargeable & another on the DURACELLS & let us all know which is best. ( i say personally Duracells ) but, that's just my own personal opinion. I am sure someone can do these two test. As i really think this is my next added radio kit but, i need to be more certain.
Original batteries will last roughly 5 hours. Not done a test on other batteries. Probably would be better to have back up batteries and charge them on a battery charger.
Good video, it was great to get you in the log the other day M0MXD 73
No worries! I hope to be out again next week.
Good to see you, doesn't matter about any of the popping or anything like that, just Grrrrreat you took the trouble to make the video. I am able to do stuff through other folks 🙂
Thanks Chris. More videos on the Welsh holiday coming soon!
Nice one dom!
