- Today, Buzz starts a new project, a handsome 1935 Crosley 515 tombstone radio. In todays episode, we take an extra close look at this beauty before any work begins. Fearful of what happened in his last project, but still eager to power up this radio, Buzz needs to make sure the transformer is in good working order, but then fate intervenes, and all hope is dashed. Determined to power up the radio before ending Part 1, ole Buzz tries to figure out the situation, and then take action to resolve the transformer problem. To close out the video, watch a Buzz Cinema segment as Dickel introduces an 8MM film titled "Invaders From Mars."

It's always a good weekend when it begins with a Buzz video.
thanks George.... this one took lots or hours to put together!.🍺
I TOTALLY agree!! 😊
...YOU BETCHER LIFESAVERS-(!)
Way to go Buzz! Another great result! I agree, its a great feeling when an old radio comes back to life!
👍, thanks Gordon
The tower on the dial is the WLW tower in Mason, OH. It was built in 1934 and is still standing.
good to know!🍺
Good one. Good to see 1970 video of family.
thanks, 👍👍👍
Where ever you are YOUR THERE with a Crosley. Funny slogan, cool radio, looks well thought out and built to last, great project choice pick Buzz. Will be another fun adventure for sure. 🤗 PS: maybe that transformer suffered a voltage spike from a lightning strike?
Hi Sam..It should be a good project👍
As soon as I saw that no show on the meter for the transformer, I thought, oh no. geeeez Buzz haha.
Buddy,, I have to tell you that you and your brothers had and have the gift to do short vids. Good stuff pal.
Hi Carl...yeah, I couldn't believe that transformer would do that to me!....🤣...glad you enjoyed the Martian invasion 8mm film...
Take Care, Buzz🍺
Hi Buzz, another old timer radio to fix, good stuff. The transformer was unusual, it looks like the secondary had two coils wound adjacent to each other with the centre tap between the two. I was disappointed you didn't rewind it on the Buzz Winder though 🤨 As usual the Buzz cinema was a hoot 🤣🤣🤣
Hi David...good to see you....I would have wound the HV winding, but didn't have any info on how much I needed to wind...but I still have the pieces....how would I calculate the length? Glad you enjoyed the 8mm film....I still am going to send you that radio I promised, maybe in time for Christmas. Maybe you might want the transformer too, and YOU could re-wind it!.😂🤣
@@Buzz1151 I count the turns of the HT and the primary windings when unwinding them, I use Marco Delac's winding calculator (link below) and change the settings to get the winding count and wire diameters to match the damaged transformer. You need the current draw for the 5 and 6.3 volt windings or just match the wire diameter and change the current draw in the calculator to match the existing wire diameter. To measure the wire diameter or gage remove the enamel so you are measuring the wire only.
If you can't count the windings use the calculator to start from scratch but you will need the voltages and current draw for each winding. The 5V is usually 2 amps, the 6.3 is the total of all the filaments and dial bulb. I have found the voltages are generally on the low side so I reduce the primary winds a bit or put a few taps in near the end of the wind to allow some adjustment to get the outputs right if need be.
I always look forward to another episode of Buzz Cinema. Looking forward to your radio present from the US, chuck the transformer in if you wish, it might be interesting 🙂

Well BUZZ you could rewind the old transformer as a separate project.? Love the looks of that radio, it was a great find I am looking forward to seeing it all nice and shiny. Nine that that you still have the old videos to share. Stay well. Leo.
hey Leo..I am going to send the transformer to my pal David Tipton from Australia......check out hid videos if you haven't already! 🍺
@@Buzz1151 Great I will look him up...Leo
Wow ! I have seen the 5 model I before in looking for the brass ring or copper ring surrounding the dial. I found that ring in the yard of my Mom who purchased the house of which I found the dial ring . She had passed away in 1994. I wish she had seen it . She worked at Crosley in around the thirties . She told she had soldered wires or parts of the guts of the Crosley radios . I have the ring in my memory of my MOM. Her name was Maudie Coffey Jackson. I found it in the dirt with my metal detector . Like I said .. My Mom didn't the purchase of house till 1994.
good story. 🍺🍺
Dear Buzz, first time viewer, I have heard a lot about your channel and wanted to view what it's about, I know I will enjoy this...):

Hi Buzz. Great job on the 8 mm movie.,I enjoy these very much. I am looking forward to more on the radio. Has always Liked and shared. All my very best.
Wasn't that the dumbest looking Martian you ever saw? 🤣😂Bizz and Boze did a great job! even Mom was great!👍👍
Glad you got it going, I knew you could, wow two bad transformers in a row.
I should work real good now with that new transformer....as long as you do not paint it RED....LOL
Love the 1970 skit, great work.
Hi Goat....You will be happy to know, I will NOT be painting the new transformer core red!..😮, but I may paint the speaker output transformer red! 🤣😂....Happy you like the 8mm film "Invaders From Mars".... my brothers did a good job on it, and it was just great seeing my "Mom" again in her short cameo, and my first dog "Candy" ...😥
Probably a relief that you poked that speaker Buzz - now the suspense is over! The cinema took me back to the Nixon and Carter years - yes I was there! Looking forward to the next installment!
I'm sure there will be more poking to come! 🤣

Great job getting this old girl going Buzz, it will be a great restoration to watch. Looking forward to the next episode.
hi Greg, thanks for stopping by! 👍👍
Hello Buzz! ! have a model 515 too. I restored it about 15 years ago, it's been a good little radio I turn it on every now and then. Great video on this little old set as always! Wish you luck!
yeah, this radio is going to be a real winner. I love it!👍
what size speaker is in your 515? could you measure the field coil and output transformer ohms?
Hello Buzz for now I can give you HV total 728 ohms, to ct I have 358 and 372 ohms primary is 16.8 ohms and 6.3volt is .5 ohms with pilot light.
will give you speaker readings later today!!
I am glad you didn't have to rebuild another transformer, Buzz! Looking forward to more videos!
part 2 came out a few days ago.😎
Well done buzz
🍺👍
Good to see your making a new video on a new project thanks for sharing your talent my friend Doug 🙂
Thanks Doug👍..part 2 is now uploaded
Hello Buzz Here is the rest of the info you have requested. The speaker cone has a diameter of 5 1/2 inches, the basket diameter is 6 5/8 inches at the face opening the hole spacing is 6 1/4 inches. The output transformer primary is 255 ohms. The secondary is 1.4 ohms. Field coil is 1000 ohms. Hope this helps. John A Bellas
Thanks John...Sorry to bug you again, but does your 515, have wood molding feet trim??? Take a look at this picture.

Mine is just flat. look like I will need to make a trim piece for the bottom. Take a look at yours.
Hello Buzz! My 515 does NOT have that type of molding, mine has the molding that goes completely around the bottom.did you notice the speaker bracket, mine has that 2
@@johnbellas490 My field coil is 442 ohms, and output transformer is 717 ohms...funny how different they are , but still works...ok thanks for the info.🍺🍺

Thanks for the visit...cheers🍺🍺🍺🍺
Hi Buzz, Sorry about the transformer. I always worry about that when I get a new radio to restore and the coils too. So far I have been lucky. Anyway I knew you would come out in the end since you have lots of talent. Looks like there might have been some kind of rubber grommet in the tuning shaft. I enjoyed the mars 8mm. I like the L&H tune you use. I find myself whistling it when working on some project. Can't wait for the next episode as always. Dan
Hi Dan, yeah, there was some type of grommet on that tuner. I never tire of the Laurel and Hardy music. It fits my videos perfectly. Thanks, Buzz 👍
Great stuff Buzz ! So cool the old rig is working with your new transformer & and recap job!
Thanks Skip...You win a free brew!🍺
Great job Buzz.
That celluloid dial was not long for this world anyway. But the hole on the speaker is on you 🤣
Perhaps use a different cone pusher in future
🤣😂
Thanks Buzz,
I'm proud of you too. I really enjoyed the transformer autopsy, it's amazing they last as well as they do.
Keep at it.
haha..yay...im proud of!!!!😁🍺
@@Buzz1151 There is one thing I do not understand about this channel. That is, why is the decimal point in the subscriber count not two places to the right?? Somebody please explain that to me.
@@Watchyn_Yarwood 👍👍
Another great one Buzz. I really look forward to your vids. We did much the same things as kids. Our videos were single frame at a time using different things moving them one bit at a time. We had a lot of time to burn back then. You gotta hit that transformer with some red. She just isn't going to look right otherwise.
Hi Andy, we did stop motion stuff too, I even tried to do a Gumby animation, but had no patience. haha👍
Great video Buzz. You do a great job and I enjoy your work also learn alot about these old time capsules.
could you decipher those pencil markings? 😎

Fantastic work Buzz. You are so clever! Transformer specialist!!!
Not done a radio for ages, but getting back into the amateur scene. Trying out a very modern FT8 means of transmission. Very low power with great results. Building aerials , takes me back to my youth!!!. Look forward to the next episode with great anticipation. Can't wait to see the finished product.

The movie was fabulous! I was so enraptured by it, I forgot to eat my popcorn!
Hey Billy....pretty dumb looking Martian, huh?🤣😁😂
@@Buzz1151 The Martian was a perfect 10!
A few years ago, I found a barn find of a 1936 Crosley model 516 from a ham radio elmer for $30. He bought this radio new in 1936 and stored it in his barn since the early 60's . A few little differences. 516 uses two can capacitors, the dial is more rectangular with gold like bezel. The speaker grill wood pattern is a little difference, both dial and speaker grill same size. Someone replace the transformer in the 516 before I got it. I replaced a few resistors, including the can-ohm resistor and the two electrolytics all of the caps with yellow caps ... ugh. Cleaned up the cabinet and replaced the speaker cover. Couldn't get the short wave band to receive anything. Living in the city of Cincy, the local AM stations come in well without using a long wire ant. The building where these radios were built has been abandoned years ago and currently listed for sale. (the plate on the back the chassis has the address of the Crosley assembly building, look up google map to see the building today.) Powel Crosley owned and operated WLW radio with 500 k watt transmitter and antenna located in Mason Ohio (25 miles NE of the studios in the heart of the city. Today they run 50 k w using the same antenna location in Mason. Powel and his brother owned and operated the Cincinnati Reds, the first team to have lights for night baseball back then.
Enjoy your videos for years and look forward to this restoration project. Thanks Buzz
Hi Russ, thanks, I just uploaded part 3 and final episode of this series...enjoy.🍺
I have the factory Crosley service manual. It is service supplement 105 from October 1935. Looks like your B+ is way high with that transformer. You were at 300 volts at 70 Volts AC. Plate voltage on the rectifier tube is only 280 volts at full line voltage. There is no external center tap on that transformer, so that odd wire may be an internal connection from center of high voltage winding to chassis ground. The wire you labeled as center tap is just one end of the 6 volt winding.
In the video, I had a new rectifier tube in the radio...I tried the original rectifier tube later, and the voltage was lots lower...
Howdy Buzz. Great to see you again doing another project. Sorry about the transformer going boogers on you and not wanting to re-wire it! (That's a lot of work and time). Can't wait for part - 2. Take care my friend and stay safe.
Hi Kevin....If I knew how much wire I needed on the high voltage winding, and the AC primary winding, then I would have tried to re-wire the transformer. I still have the guts of it, so maybe a future project if I can figure out the math ...do you know?🍺🍺
@@Buzz1151 Sorry Buzz, I flunked math a long time ago. I can do the basics of weighing or measuring the strands for rewiring (did it twice on transformers) but to do it with math is not my strong suit... 🍻
Well done thanks for posting Buzz much appreciated !
Hey Gord, good to see you! 🍺
Ed Wood would've liked your Mars sci fi!
yeah, he wood! haha🤣🍺
I got one of these. I'll help you out a little. Mines a 516. Electrically the same. With the 80 pulled you should have 590V between the plates, and with it in you should have 515V. This is with 107V entering the radio (I added a dropping resistor to drop the line voltage on mine). Since your output transformer & speaker look like replacements. The speaker field should be 1200ohms, and primary of the output transformer should be 400ohms. Hope this helps. Glad to see you got it working so far.
does your radio have decals of little doggies on it too? 😂🤣
@@Buzz1151 Haha! Unfortunately no, lol. At the end of the restoration you should get new dog stickers and put them on the inside of the cabinet. 🤣
I think the dogs name was Poochie - hard to be sure... beautiful radio - The burning question is will you paint that brand new transformer Red ? Nice work my friend
Hi Ron....I will leave the new transformer as is.....😎😎
Recently subscribed, Love the restores and the 8mm videos. You and I have something in common , we both had a screw loose when we were born, lol! Question: do I hear Shemp from the 3 stooges occasionally?
Welcome aboard George.....if you like radios, and fun, you have come to the right place!...I have used 3 stooges clips...I used a Moe clip in this video, where he says" lady. you must be psychic". I have used other stooge clips in the past.
FYI Buzz... It was a common practice to scribble the customer name or claim number somewhere on the back. That provided easy reference for customer pick up PLUS it was a rough repair history (by order number). Done in the era before claim repair tickets became commonplace.
🍺🍺
👍👍
Congrats on a successful power up after replacing the transformer Buzz. Sounds pretty good. :)
I was really nervous powering that up, happy the new transformer worked.👍
I also have a 515. Transformer runs warm; I'll bet this set had some leaky caps and just that little bit of extra current draw caused it to fail. A lot of these cheap sets they ran the transformers very close to spec, especially Crosley and Zenith. They sold this set with 2 different dials, mine is red and blue.
The transformer definitely had been run many many hours to be cooked as much as it was... good luck on yours..I think it's a great looking radio!
Crosley has always been one of my favorites and they did use some interesting engineering . Loved the video, Buzz. Too bad about that transformer but it's good you had a new one. Hey take care and good luck on the next parts and thank you for the laughs.....
Glad you enjoyed it Gary. 👍👍
Very entertaining video and enjoyable 8mm home movie! Do you think this restore video will be a 3 or 4 part job?
barring any major problems, looks to be 3 parts, ack ack.🤣
Those WAX CAPs got'ta go !!!
my lord. those were ugly caps!🤣
Great job, Buzz! Darn those bleeping power transformers!
I’ll bet those home movies were a lot more fun to make than they are to watch. Just kidding, that was fun. And Candy was a cute doggie.
well, I've been lucky these past 8 years, with very few bad power transformers. but the chickens have come home to roost 😮.....but it all good! haha...It was nice seeing my Mom and dog again. 😥
great job buzz
hi Andy🍺
The type 78 can be used in place of a 6D6. It's actually preferable to a 6D6 from what I've read.
yeah, I read that later on the ARF 👍🍺
Looks good Buzz you wont have to worry about the new transformer running to hot as you said its a bit over kill.
It's designed for 120 volts too, so wont need a dropping resistor.🍺
Love the Laurel and Hardy music !!
yes, so do I !👍👍
I dont know why youtube brought me here (probably because of algorythm link to Techmoan channel) but i must say, this is a great video
welcome aboard..my channel is all about having fun and most important, entertainment! 🍺
To get your first e plate out of transformer bend the e plate out enough to get vise grip on then hammer the vise grip with hammer maybe come of several times later but works.

I Told you you should have got a zenith lol Funny I bought two Zenith Transistor radios this last month for projects. Or you could call it a Tabletop tombstone radio. A Crosley from 1935 now those are pretty hard to come by. Did you pay big bucks for that one Buzz?
I mentioned in the video it was $90 bucks + shipping🍺
I Just love to sound effects...
👍🍺
Limey here.
I like old radio's too Buzz.
Wot no Buzzwinder this time?
Whats up with the speaker thing.
Did they have radios in Spitfires? The speaker in the radio was replaced.
@@Buzz1151 Yup during ww2 they used a R1155, and post war TR9 radios.
Be kind to speakers Buzz, they need love too.
That was when Crosley meant business. This Crosley even has the police 👮♀️ band, and civil defense markings. Back in the day, this Crosley would have probably saved your life. I don’t know who put those stickers on there, but if you’re going to refinish this, they’ll have to go. I sure like 👍 the label 🏷 on the back of this radio, it even bears 🐻 “Made in America” 🇺🇸. It also appears to have some reference bands listed on it. Radiotvphononut said Mr. Crosley would be turning in his grave, with his name used on junky record players and radios of today. Once ya get this radio restored, I hope 🤞 ya keep it safe and in your house 🏠. It will definitely be worth a few beers 🍻. Your friend, Jeff.
cheers,🍺🍺
Nice set of videos! I am rebuilding a 515 and my radio also had a 78 tube in place of a 6D6. Did you reuse the 78 or replace it with a 6D6?
i think i may have, but don't remember for sure. 🍺
To hell with those purist Buzz. Paint power trasformers whatever color you want. 78 tube is better than a 6D6 at least as
far as an IF tube goes. 1935 radio costing 19.99 then is $432.15 today. So you got a great deal at $90 . Too bad about the
old power transformer but the new one works fine and the radio works! You and your brothers were great
cinematographers early in life. What happened? BTW my first dog, a German Shepard ,was named Candy too. Steve
I will try the 78 tube in Part 2, also there was a 41 tube in there in place of the 6B5 output tube. I may send the transformer to David Tipton , so he can mess with it.
Perhaps the shield does such a good job, it's the greatest of all time aka GOAT.
👍
Hey Buzz! Perhaps it's just me?, but I could have sworn I heard Car 54 where are you? & One Adam-12, One Adam-12 on The Police Band. Might want to go back and try it again. Love your video's Buzz!...until you get to handling a speaker. Perhaps Peanut should be the one handling the speakers? Just Saying. :)
ha ha, I should have thrown Car 54, and Adam 12 sound clips in there as a gag. missed opportunity!😁👍
Not to be weird , but was that TV in the Buzz Cinema a Sylvania by any chance? My friend had one like it in the early sixties with a bad on/off switch. you had to unplug and plug in the set.
Hi John.. That was our Admiral TV bought around 1962, lasted into the 1980's..👍🍺
The power transformer decided, "Better dead than Red".
🤣
Hi Buzz, that HV winding was a real disappointment. Why they used that center tap connection the way they did is strange. They could have just run a wire out, that would have been a lot more reliable. Looking forward to the next part.
Yeah, that was really weird, having that wire pinched between the clamshell and lamination. thanks Quantum
I find it interesting that a 6D6 tube is used as an autodyne frequency changer. This is a remote cut-off tube. Normally a sharp cut-off tube like the 6C6 would have been used for that role. I can't find any data on the 25A or 25B but I imagine that the 25A is a sharp cut-off and the 25B is a remote cut-off. Something to consider if performance is an issue.
thanks for your interesting comment! 👍
Nice job Buzz, what are the odds of two bad transformers!
🤣😂🍺
Unfortunately that particular variety of Power Transformers were notorious for shorted HV Windings RCA and GE and Westinghouse Also used these power Transformers and I had a couple of old Tombstone Radios that used these types of Transformers that were from the same time period (1935) and thankfully they didn't have any bad HV Windings, but they did have bad wiring jobs (someone replaced the original power cord in an old RCA 5T Tombstone from 1935 that I have and they wired it up wrong so that when you tried to turn it on it would blow a breaker.)
electricity is like a cage animal...it wants out!
@@Buzz1151 i was able to correct the wiring issue in my RCA 5T it was a matter of the person wiring the cord and transformer up to the power switch wrong (the power switch had 3 connector points and they wired it up so that it basically dead shorted when you turned it on but was fine when it was off.)
Great to see a new project! Did your radio originally have “feet” that are now missing?
yeah probably....I usually just put on sticky felt feet from ace hardware. 🍸
@@Buzz1151 Hi Buzz. Perhaps feet is the wrong word. In looking at pictures of this model I see the radio lifted from the table by wood pieces under the corners. Your radio sits right on the table. If I’m right it would be interesting to see you make them. Love the videos!
@@stevenchambers7366 Hey Steve, you are right.....There was some sort of wood trim nailed to the bottom. I'll have to figure out how to make something like that. thanks, very perceptive! 👍👍🍺🍺

Greetings:
I read something in here about two bad transformers and hoped it was not the new one (apparently they were referring to the previous video, whew!). I was hoping you would bench test it first unloaded, but I heard that you wired it up after replacing a bunch of caps first.
haha,,,no, the new transformer is still kicking.....I had over 2 hours of footage, and had to edit it down to 50 minutes, so lots got edited out.

Nice job on the restore thus far. It's a shame you didn't want to (or could not) re-wind the transformer. Putting a hundred bucks into a radio you already have a hundred bucks into sucks. OTOH, you couldn't buy anything new like this at any price today. So 200 plus whatever you need to buy in supplies for the rest of the radio is worth it if you like the style.
I still have the pieces of the transformer if I ever decide I want to wind it.🍺
Nice job Buzz....no smoke too.....well at least at 47:50...John
it plays again after all these years!🍸
Great Buzz, I have This model too!! will be following closely:) Notice my handle:)
cool handle...I love the way Crosley nicknamed these radios "The Fiver" ..brilliant !🍺
Decal name looks like it could be, "Millie."
funny, thats what I think it is.👍👍
I'll bet the dog's name is Willie
good guess..maybe someone has the exact decal and can tell us.
Looks like the new transformer seems to be key
lucky I had a new one waiting in the wings!🍺
Maybe dog named Nellie?
thanks Jim...It looks like its definitely ending with iiie, so thats a good guess. wishing someone has the same decal. and can confirm.
Whenever I peruse the old ads I notice all the time radios priced without the tubes. That's insane. You're selling a product that doesn't work.
But at least with this Crosley, you get the full price of a complete radio that actually works. 20 bucks supposedly is the modern equivalent of 432.37 Now, this is 1935. 3 years earlier, a 1oz gold coin had a face value of 20 Dollars. So it's more like 1700 Dollars.
the old adds are interesting.👍
