This radio needed the field coil on the speaker rewound, the primary of the Antenna coil rewound. someone had replaced the 6A8 with a 9 pin novel ECH81 hanging in the hole where the octal socket was!, so that was restored back to an octal and the 6A8, however I had to use a metal version, because I didn't have a Zenith shield. The tube lineup is" 6A8 converter, 6K8 I.F, 6H6 detector, 6F5 1st Au...

Muito bonita Parabéns
Fantastic job! And a nice transformation from how it was before...
The cabinet looks great refinished, did you refinish it? Very nice radio 👍
Thanks, yes i did refinish it.
Awesome result. Well Done.
Still looking for a Brown version and one with the Magic Eye as my black version is sadly lacking
The Magic Eyes were installed by the importer apparently, so they could compete with American models.
I just found the same model in a friend's attic. It's in bad shape but I hope to make it look as good as yours
can you give the informarion about where to repair electronic gramophone
Lovely set, (often referred to as "The Dougal Set" due to its shape resemblance to the dog on the "Magic Roundabout"). I never knew they made a version with all American valves in.... It is working very well.... You've done a very nice job on it !
This was an export only model and the NZ importers/dealers apparently requested a set that used American valves, because they were available and in stock in NZ, British Valves not so much at that time. The magic eye was added by the NZ importer apparently.
Does that tuner have an electric eye? Talking about the green "eye" above
I have just the same turntable , as this , ( I put a small speaker on it with a small amp , ) mine works with the auto stop , lovely to see yours looking as it should with the radio ,, great stuff
yeah the record's speed is too fast
Really a feast for both eyes and ears. What Radio is this ? Is it also a HMV ?
its a 1936 Stewart Warner, made in the USA. czcams.com/video/PfUTbDKL1aU/video.html
Sounds like there is plenty to listen to on AM in your area!
The sound is amazing but Isn't it Louis Armstrong? 😉
So that in Tom & Jerry
Pure vintage classic 📻
I have one that just hums
Wow
Awesome radio!
Is it for sale?
Tempo a bit fast than the 45 have moonlight serenade on 78.hmv
Is the pickup with sapphire or steel needles?
Dayum, it's even more catchy when it's played too Fast
Speed is way too fast
Very cool 👍
This is incredible, I'd love something like this. Using a Tube radio as the amplifier is so cool, I suppose most people back then had a radio, so buying a player like this would be quite a good option.
Here me restored 1936 Thorens Omnix grammy playing old 1942 German swing on wartime record: czcams.com/video/_OHPwxyiQt0/video.html&t
Fantastic
Sounds great. Beautiful player too 😎👍🏻
sounds fast, the key signature is a step or two higher can you calibrate the speed? I see the speed calibrator under the platter. You need to adjust it. This is brighter than 78 rpm. More like 85 rpm.
I just bought a 1936/37 Stewart-Warner Model R147! Hoping to get it working!
A lovely music
I just picked up a 1967 4 value short-shaft chassis today works great, how do I find out what they are worth?
Depends what the buyer is willing to pay. If mint condition then possibly $40 or $50 is nothing outrageous and nothing too cheap. I paid $10 for mine without knobs, finding them may be a pain but I've got modern substitutes. It's one I'm keeping so I guess they'll do 😀
Very nice restoration, thanks for sharing. I love the shape of the SW86.
So hard to fine a Brown version
Nice cabinet re fab do you know of anyone in NZ that can repair the above SW86 baker-lite cab
First SW radio sold in NZ that could get BBC London direct - super hetrodyne was big news in those days
Hi Kris where did you hear that? By 1936 (when I believe the SW86 was first introduced in the NZ market) superhets (broadcast and dual-wave / all-wave sets) were well established both in imports and locally made sets - NZ companies like Radio Corp NZ had been making superhet sets with international reception for at least a couple of years.
Nice almost same model is with me
Dang I’m not used to “In The Mood” playing that fast!
Ha ha yes, it was a tad fast, I've adjusted the speed since then
Too fast.... Perhaps Glenn was late for tea!
The pickup looks like the one on my dads gramophone although it is a record changer. Any idea where to get needles? You can see my gramophone by searching Ken Griffin Walkin to Missouri if you wan to.
they are "long playing" needles, which are smaller than wind-up gramophone needles, I've found them for sale occasionaly on "online Auction" sites.
Thanks for your reply. I will keep trying online. I have some so I am ok for now
First pickup with saphir stylus, it's like a modern record player. Only limit, the user hasn't to change the stylus. This kind of record player was waymaker for vinyl records. They stuck so long on shellac and coarse grooves, because this was the only way, that a record lasts, when treating with high pressure.
for sale?
This is good
attractive, and works great!
I just found one of these, your video has me eager to get it home!
Is it wireless ? OR Did you add a Phono input to the Zenith?
The Radio is a "Stewart Warner" model R146X which has a phono input.
OOPS Looked like a Zenith. Very Nice . Is it a new Cartridge or rebuild?
It doesnt have a separate Cartridge like the later LP record players. The needle is between the poles of a magnet, the vibrations on the needle change the magnetic field and induce a voltage in the coil surrounding the needle . The output of the coil is wired away to a step up/Impedance matching transformer, the output is feed to a basic equalization circuit, then to the output to your Radio/Amplifier. I had to repair the coil in the pickup as it was open circuit. this guys explains how they work. czcams.com/video/wusGysG6U_o/video.html
OK Those last forever it seems. Magnetic Input. Weighs a lot but sound good. Nice Machine
Would have liked to see the Chassis also Very Nice effort on a Very Nice Radio rrt
Excellent Yarraman a great job.
Very nice, especially he work needed to restore the dial. This is often a big problem to making a restoration also look good!
Do you still have the bad speaker? I would be interested in getting it . Thanks
Do you have the Original Speaker ???
no, the original Speaker field coil was burnt out, the cone was in very poor condition, so I replaced it for a PM Speaker.
What an attractive radio. Thanks for sharing.
