Tips and Care

  1. When removing your radio from the box, never lift the radio from the top. Carefully lift the radio from the base/bottom.
  2. Remove the bubble wrap by hand and not by scissors or utility knife.
  3. Remove the padding/foam/and or bubble wrap from the inside of the radio. Be careful not to catch on any wires or tubes. Also be careful not to puncture the speaker.
  4. Once this is removed from the radio do a visual inspection of the tubes inside. Make sure they are seated properly and secure. Make sure all the wire connections are in place on top of the tubes if applicable.
  5. If your radio has an attached antenna make sure it is securely in place and stretch it out across the floor.
  6. Make sure the radio is in the off position and volume is turned down (refer to your knob control chart).
  7. Plug the radio in and turn the on off switch to the on position. Keep the volume level all the way down and allow the radio to warm up 45-60 seconds.
  8. Now adjust your volume level and tune in the stations! It is recommended that you do not play your radio more than a couple hours at a time. Although these sets are electronically restored they still contain vintage electronics and can become very warm during continuous play. Be sure to turn off your set and unplug it when not in use.

 

Trouble shooting

  1. If your radio does not power up Turn the radio off; unplug the set and check to make sure the tubes are securely in place.
  2. Make sure all wire connections are secure on top of the tubes.
  3. If it still will not power up try another outlet.
  4. If you are not receiving stations or have poor reception make sure the antenna is attached properly and extended across the floor.
  5. Make sure you are not plugged into an outlet in a room that has fluorescent lighting, microwaves, or a metal roof / siding. All of these will factor into the reception of your radio. Low flying aircraft can also interfere with reception.
  6. If the reception is poor on short-wave, be sure you are not on the Aircraft/Police frequencies. These frequencies are seldom used today. Sometimes you will need an external antenna to receive short-wave bands. Also, short-wave reception is always better late at night than during the day.

 

Caution: Antique radio electronics, whether restored or un-restored, are by nature hazardous due to their voltage, design and age. Any operation, repairs or other adjustments are done at your own risk.
