1960s Sanyo tube radio restoration, before-after
Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2026 11:00 am
Update on radio mentioned elsewhere. Found ferrite antenna at Deeco Surplus (community tip helped).
Other replacements:
Total PHP 1800 parts. Sentimental value priceless, dad's old radio.
For tube radio crowd: right way to clean tuning capacitor plates? 60 yrs of dust. Compressed air safe or risk vane damage?
Other replacements:
- All electrolytic caps (5, all dried out)
- Volume pot (scratchy beyond fix)
- One germanium output transistor (2SB54, NOS from Lazada)
