Sir, your channel alone compensates all the idiocy contained and projected by Youtube and justifies the existence of today's Internet. My most sincere and thankful congratulations.

I hope you take this as a compliment but your videos are the best to go to sleep to.

This has to be the most beautiful radio i have ever seen. I re-watch this video every couple of months. Listening to you is very soothing and calming. In a world of hate and crap, your constant positive attitude is extremely refreshing. You are one of those few creators that really makes everyone's day better when you upload. Thank you for all you do!

Yes, for the flat iron repair in the middle of this!

1938 -- can you imagine bringing this home just in time to listen to "War of the Worlds".

You know, this radio is from a time when the radio was magical, hi-tech, mystical. A way of communicating and being connected with other people - internationally. Authoritative, respected. The beauty of the work that went into making it, reflects how special the radio was, and what it meant to people. Also the aesthetic and mechanical beauty of it, shows the pride which was taken in its creation. This is a wonderful video.

3 year old video that i have seen several times, for some reason youtube loves to replay this video over and over again.

As a retired TV and video engineer I found your video most interesting , precise and of excellent workmanship well done my friend we need to restore more to save our heritage God Bless

You have to be over age 60 to appreciate a beautiful radio dial. People today wouldn’t realize that we used to sit in the living room in the evening and “watch” the radio. The dial gave you something to look at while you listened. Sounds silly, but it’s true. My great grandmother’s comment when she saw the first radio at home in the 1920’s was “ it should have buttons so you can selection each station without tuning”. Way ahead of her time!

That's not a radio it's a work of art. Thanks.

i am 80 years od elevtonics was my hobby since i was 8 years old. brings back great memories. thanks

I never question why you would work so hard on these old radios. First, the old school electronics and techniques are super cool (like the loop wire capacitor trick). Second, modern electronics have evolved in such a way that a whole system can not often be understood. Being able to see how the whole of a device works and how every piece is put together and works is extremely satisfying. Preserving and sharing this knowledge for us laypeople and enthusiasts on YouTube is awesome. Thank you so much Mr. Carlson :)

Here are 5 additional thumbs up! Three and a half hours, but not boring at all!

3.5 hours, wow. Love it! Can't think of a better way to spend my afternoon! Thanks so much!

You know what? You mic setup is perfection. Perfect compressor gate limits, perfect volume, perfect clarity, perfect sound... I rarely get a video that's so high precision as this one. And I though I'd let you know. You are a master of sound.

0:04 seconds in, never seeing ANYTHING by this channel and I already know I'm at the right place.

More than 3 hours of content?😱 , hold on i'm going to get the popcorn 🙈

Watching this kind of project makes any lockdown bearable.

Proving yet again that one person's junk is another person's treasure. 👍
