For someone here who grew up in the USSR it just cannot be more surreal watching a Soviet radio playing American broadcast about war between Russia and Ukraine… Just think about it.
I have the same Westinghouse radio. I bought it in 1966 at Mars Bargainland in new bedford ma. I was 11 years old and saved enough money from my paper route to get it. Yes i still have it and it still works.
I hope we are still going to get the long videos like a couple of hours of diagnostics, resurrection and social commentary ! I love 'em I treat them like a great movie I've wanted to see, I'll crack a beer and sit back with 'do not disturb ' on the door...cheers.
That Nevskiy 402 is really cool. 8:16 . . . How totally sad. I have purchased so many items from both Russian and Ukrainian eBay sellers in the last few years. They have always been super-friendly to deal with and take great care in packing and shipping quickly. Why can't people just leave other people alone? Why can't we all just get along? The world has so many great people, but just a few who are evil want to ruin it for all. Update: I had a notice to pick up a package at the post office, and I just got back from there. It was a thermometer I purchased from an eBay seller in Luhanska, Ukraine. Incredible to consider when the seller sent this on February 4th, their lives hadn't become chaos in the Ukraine. It shows just how fast things can become unstable just about anywhere. I shall keep this "UKRPOSHTA" labeled small package as a reminder.
Another great Sunday treat! My Nevsky 402 is one of the hottest portables I've got. It's right up there with my Sony TFM-1000WB. Glad to see you had a parts set to repair it. I've got a feeling these may be hard to get now. I sent an email about getting on the Malahit list but no joy yet. Thanks for the video!
Go for it! Summer tag sales. Goodwill, Salvation Army and DAV. Also your town dump or transfer station. Lots of old radios and such. Uglier is better. A VOM or FET Meter or VTVM. An old computer amplified speaker or guitar practice amp especially battery powered can serve as a signal tracer. Good radio or tape player can provide signal for audio injection with an isolation capacitor. Shango066 shows how to use a string of batteries to get your needed voltage. A row of "D" cells would be great. A small harmonic generator or a signal generator either vintage used or maybe one of the new cheap ones on eBay. And a good AM-FM for your test radio and get to it. You can usually find a schematic online and a close match might be good enough to figure your way through it. A solder iron and some solder. Some replacement capacitors and a one or 2.2 microfarad on the end of a clip lead. You'll be surprised what You'll learn. Have fun!
Excellent viedo. I bought a Sony ICF-SW10 analog radio in 1995. Used it for over 15 years. Heavy usage. Tuning capacitor issues. Scratching reception. Used deoxit D5 inside the capacator. Fixed the issue. Liked that radio so much I bought a second unit in 1996. Still in box. Many hours of MW, LW, and SW Listening when I traveled to Europe.
The parts chassis is a Selga-404 or 405, another firecracker of a set. Very solid radio, with a large speaker. I remember them having amazing sound for a coat pocket portable.
Sad when One can Not believe anything our government *servants* say. at least TRUTH's found Here and survival of Great Older Radios, among what's 'offered' today. *Thanks Shango*
These Sunday bonus videos are awesome. Sad to hear about the hollowing out of Edelbrock. Same thing up here in the Seattle area with Boeing, and across America with once proud corporations. Expertise goes away, but short term profits go UP, and that's all that matters now.
Most of pocket radios tuning capacitors aren't pure air capacitors and some of the big ones also have some kind dielectric sheets, because of very smal air gap that cannot insure enough mechanical strength to avoid shorts when stressed. Rare expensive ones uses BoPET (mylar, soviet - lavsan - the stuff magnetic tape were made of), but common ones are made with PETG sheets.
My first Engineering job with Westinghouse Electric, Power Electronics System in Buffalo, New York in 1981. Westinghouse was a good company even I got laid off in 1982, I was told I can come back in 1984! I was trained in Westinghouse part renewal department when the company shutdown for summer vacation. Westinghouse has a large warehouse for parts renewal for the electrical industry product that made during 1930-1980. Westinghouse made a steel a plant in China and refinery in South America back then.
Love the old Soviet bloc stuff! I had a great Ukrainian built shortwave I foolishly gave to a CZcams radio guy (who specializes in phonographs) to repair, but never heard from him again.
Thanks for doing the radios again. I enjoy the audio stuff. These grey radios are really cool. Nice to looks at and great sounding. I really hope your seller is ok and that he turns up again.
I worked for that company (Nissei) It's Japanese and pronounced knee-say. I was saddened when I heard about Vic Edelbrock's passing. He was an innovator for the "speed parts" hot rod parts supplier. I still giggle when I look at an old "Carter" 4 barrel carb and the "Edelbrock" version which is almost identical.
My wife is from Ukraine. I have a really nice NEYWA 402 AM/FM I got from a big surplus electronics swap meet near Kiev 3 years back. Works well, probably could use a capacitor or two, but works. EDIT: pulled the radio out and looked inside, I did recap it after all. Bad memory.
Hard to believe even 60 years ago we we making stuff overseas. Time to get a drink and guessing by the video length its either going to be an easy fix or a quick disappointment! Lets hope for the first.
Shango please continue to be your dorky self during the repairs. You always give me one lol moment in your videos. Love your content please keep it coming.
The on/off switch has a flaw: the spring is part of the circuit, and can oxidise, it is chromed steal or so. I often solder a thin wire on one side of the spring contact, run it 2 times around with the spring, and solder it on the other contact of the spring. One failure point less in the equitation.
I recall that there was another video showing a closeup of the Nevskiy 402 schematic. The "secret" to this radio's selectivity is the triple-tuned IF filter formed by L4, L6, and the unidentified coil to the right of C23.
Man that is a hot performing radio, it's very unfortunate what's happening in Europe. Peak human evolution will be achieved when you repair that 'smokers choice' Westinghouse Escort clock lighter radio.
Enjoyable video again! Reminded me of my old (early 60's, I suppose) Japanese Standard SR-F412 (6 transistors, MW 540-1600 KC) pocket radio which has been waiting for some repair for a long time. It has a loudspeaker disconnecting 2.5 mm earphone jack in semi see-through plastic enclosure which probably cannot be opened without damaging it, and the jack has a contact problem which for some reason seems to be not solved with any deoxidizing stuff. Some electrolytics must be changed as well but that circuitboard is so crazy tightly packed that changing el. caps is a total nightmare because especially transistors are in great danger to overheat while removing a cap next to it etc. Another problem is that I haven't found the right schematic. So if somebody knows a link to a schematic of that Standard, I would be very thankful.
I have just viewed 10:10 of this and it's going fine, and then a thought occurred to my 6 or 7 braincells who still blurt out non-sequitur malahky.. Los Saicos of Peru were the original punk rock band in like 1965. anyway, moving right along...
I have a "Philco" branded Hong-Koidial radio that's very similar to that Westinghouse. The germanium diode detector likes to break off the board if you're not careful handling the battery....
Get a bunch of cheap transistor radios paint hem all black and make a batman belt out of them and use a small transmitter and play the most annoying shit ever
This whole war thing really sucks. I'm sorry to hear about your Ukrainian electronics dude. I really wanted to try buying some of that stuff myself, but I guess it's gone now. *depressed sigh
Just picking your brain, here. I have an old Motorola X15A radio, with a shiny, solid metal front. It doesn't play, but I know that the oscillator is working. Where should I go from here?
Excuse me Mr. Shango066. You, last year made a video of yourself receiving hundreds of Valves/Tubes... [...] However:- These are the videos you're making? I have to ask - Really?
I just saw a BBC news interview with a British man and a Ukrainian woman ( the woman was a known Democracy advocate so would have a price on her head for sure) , and they said that at the checkpoint at the Polish border, the Ukrainian officials were turning back males under 60 to go back and take up arms. I hope as many as possible stay safe there, and this mess mediates as soon as possible.

Ironic i bet you are for mass immigration? If only people left others alone
WE DID IT. WE are more responsible than any other party for what is going on. We are the evil empire run by people who hate us.
Because of oil.And money.Or both,they are the same...
0Y \/E¥ DELET THIS!
Your question contains the answer.
Those component identifiers impress me every time
I love so much those receivers and appreciate how respectful shango is with them

Your video's make me want to buy broken eBay radios an try to repair them.. 👍👍👍
Same here.

Bonus day video. Love that. Thanks for the work on the videos shango066
Always enjoy the adventures you bring us. Grab my coffee and turn on Shango....perfect Sunday afternoon. Thanks man!!!
Wonderful radio comrade. It comes up in handy when they bomb the main TV broadcast antenna!
These Sunday bonus videos are awesome. Sad to hear about the hollowing out of Edelbrock. Same thing up here in the Seattle area with Boeing, and across America with once proud corporations. Expertise goes away, but short term profits go UP, and that's all that matters now.
Я люблю советскую электронику! Делали на савесть. Надёжно! Уважаю ваш канал. Желаю успехов! Всегда буду смотреть!
Completely agree - Soviet electronics are very nicely made and high quality!
Not only electronics, optics too.
Знак качества на Невском 402 не шаляй валяй!

9:06 what😂😂 ?! Pure synchronicity
Ive got one of those Nevsky 402 radios. Nice little pocket radio and came with the original box. I must get it out and use it again.

I had one of these in the 60s as a young lad.
i got an edlebroc 4 barrel in my truck right now (got a holley double pumper on the rebuild pile!)

Stay safe stay healthy

Those Soviet variable capacitors are beautifully made.
Thanks for the Sunday treat
I have that same model Westinghouse pocket radio minus the leather case. Got it for $5 years ago at a flea market and it still works good.
Hard to believe even 60 years ago we we making stuff overseas. Time to get a drink and guessing by the video length its either going to be an easy fix or a quick disappointment! Lets hope for the first.
Just finished! Awesome find on the spare tuner, thing is sensitive as heck, really might look out for one now.
Shango please continue to be your dorky self during the repairs. You always give me one lol moment in your videos.

Great quality radios.
Another good one shango !
I am near Torrance, in Redondo. Your neighbor almost.
very cool, i love old soviet radio
Love that radio👍⚛
They made that radio beefy I love the out of the country radios myself 👍
Keep 'em coming Shango.
I recall that there was another video showing a closeup of the Nevskiy 402 schematic. The "secret" to this radio's selectivity is the triple-tuned IF filter formed by L4, L6, and the unidentified coil to the right of C23.
Very nice! Always great to have a parts set! Very sad that our Ukrainian eBay friends have now disappeared. :(
That Westinghouse sounds like it could pick up a tourist farting in Hawaii. The Chinese blob chip radios couldn’t hold a candle to it these days
Should have watched the rest of the video before commenting, that Soviet model is a real performer too
I think it´s the top layer of brass (with the notches), that is torn and touches the copper layer below it.
Man that is a hot performing radio, it's very unfortunate what's happening in Europe. Peak human evolution will be achieved when you repair that 'smokers choice' Westinghouse Escort clock lighter radio.
A field sensitivity in your desert region of these two radios would be most interesting.
Enjoyable video again!

God you can hear that Nielsen PPM signal all across that AM band in certain sections of the audio. LA must be one of those markets.
I have a "Philco" branded Hong-Koidial radio that's very similar to that Westinghouse. The germanium diode detector likes to break off the board if you're not careful handling the battery....
Well hog my hooter another video 👍
You can try putting the disassembled tuning cap in an ultrasonic cleaner? (and some compressed air) …
Does the light work? Excellent video as usual. Cheers, Geoff.
Yeah but it says senior sweeter that's abbreviation demonstrations going on throughout the tree cream and Lee's Summit Road
Did I hear one of those radios playing the Apple Macintosh startup sound?
Pray for Ukraine.
I have a Magnavox AM/FM small transistor radio and all I can get out of it is some audio. No AM or FM at all and I don't have a schematic.
That Westinghouse has the same board as the Philco NT-600-BKG.
Another nice job...Do you have a PO box
Get a bunch of cheap transistor radios paint hem all black and make a batman belt out of them and use a small transmitter and play the most annoying shit ever
Did you see the public hair around the speaker magnet
some PVC tunings may wear out, well built PVC caps last forever, air tuning caps can be better but are larger.
👍
👍👍👍
This whole war thing really sucks. I'm sorry to hear about your Ukrainian electronics dude.
I really wanted to try buying some of that stuff myself, but I guess it's gone now.
*depressed sigh
Did those Ukraine/Russian radios have the extended AM 1630 - 1710 kHz?
Shango
How can send you stuff?
It seems like the Russian made radios work fine on USA radio frequencies.
Omg... cringin on da needle nose brass threads..... part of the thrill tho!
21:43 das wrayssiss!
I see someone has a radio like that for sale on Ebay for 125 bucks
#hello michelly Brazil thank you kiss Brazil 😙😚👌👍👏👏👏👏
Nice Job, you Rock, Lets Go Brandon!!
Just picking your brain, here.
I have an old Motorola X15A radio, with a shiny, solid metal front.
It doesn't play, but I know that the oscillator is working.

Shango so youre near torrents? isnt that where everyone downloads illegal content from? haha
Excuse me Mr. Shango066. You, last year made a video of yourself receiving hundreds of Valves/Tubes...

Annoying when they show the wavelength instead of frequency.
Mmmmmm 😆
The first uranium radio is nice ITS TERRIBLE ABOUT UKRAINE I HOPE THEY WILL BE SAFE
Невский 402 !!! НЕ Украинский !!! Производился в Ленинграде (Петербург)СССР!!!
I wiped some human fecal matter off of the TV screen, but the image is still not coming in clear. What could be wrong with it? ... haha
BLM radio that's offensive right 🤷♂️
Your friend has been displaced and might be on his way to the UK as a Ukrainian refugee.
I just saw a BBC news interview with a British man and a Ukrainian woman ( the woman was a known Democracy advocate so would have a price on her head for sure) , and they said that at the checkpoint at the Polish border, the Ukrainian officials were turning back males under 60 to go back and take up arms.

another russian radio
The radio videos are boring. Stick to TVs.
NO
