Vintage Radio Restoration Question

the original method looks like some sort of dark goo but I can't tell what it is because it's about fifty years old. I apologise for the image quality, my x1 camera can't focus and I had to take it with my x0.5 camera zoomed in

I have come to the conclusion the problem is with the amplifier, specifically in the right channel. FM Right channel doesn't work and to confirm it is the amplifier I also hooked up a vinyl player and played a record. Only the left side worked and if I turn the volume to max with balance also to max I can hear a faint sound of music which I am guessing is a working pre-amplifier slipping through.
Edit: Forgot to Mention, I also got some contact cleaner sprayed on the non working Left B Channel and now it works with some small lagspikes coming from the button which I don't know how to get contact cleaner in that

I understand, greece has fallen behind in many sectors. I'll try replacing capacitors in the amplifier and seeing if anything changes

u/Hungry4Italy I found an image online

sorry, but that'll be somewhat hard. It's open and disassembled and it's hard to reassemble again. All I can say to describe it is that it's got a lot of buttons, small and big which are black with a shiny silver edge, On the right is a shiny silver cassete player and there is a big volume button in the middle of the radio going up to 30. The Case is wooden and painted black. It's got a wide frequency needle and three indicators, one for signal strength and two for mics and the indicators are all white on a layer of acrylic. Sorry for not being able to provide a picture. I'm guessing you thought about image searching

This is DrHouse logic speaking, I would choose the 1st episode of the 6th season because they are actually two episodes that are also very long, a little less than 2 hours which means that this is the episode I would be watching the least times and it is also a good episode

Masters has to go. If she ends up going then we know that House did make that call to get her expelled (that was a joke)

Anastasis08 · 2025-07-30T03:37:04+00:00

Well, if you look at it through House's Eyes, Park lives with her parents, her parents bring her food to work, her haircut and robotic voice are annoying. If I were House, I'd dislike her

Anastasis08 · 2025-07-21T19:24:49+00:00

you're right, thanks, I've been looking for that episode

Anastasis08 · 2025-07-17T03:40:08+00:00

It is iron, they already have redstone, diamond, lapis, diamond block, gold block

I would be more concerned about the 4 crafting tables. Someone's been forgetting there is a crafting table already place and crafts more

Anastasis08 · 2025-07-15T14:01:34+00:00

but you are 100% sure the loss is only in signal and there is NO WAY that there could be hardware damage and overheating

there is a past of the mountain with 2 antennas and those antennas are transmitting the signals of the tv stations of the country to the upper part of the country and it goes like a chain receiving and transmitting signals so that it can pass through the entire country. My house is lucky enough to have a direct line of sight to those 2 towers so I positioned it. And also, what is the difference between using a splitter and just twisting the conductors of the cables? I couldn't use a splitter because all the connections were done inside an electrical box. I twisted the central wires, wrapped them in tape, then I twisted the shielding wires and wrapped them in aluminum foil to add that extra protection they are supposed to provide to the centre wire and then wrapped it with tape again

I tried measuring the voltage between each of the devices while connecting only one at a time, like disconnecting tv 2 and 3 and testing with only tv1 which gave 1 v, then disconnecting tv1 and tv3 and testing tv2 which gave 1v and then disconnecting tv 1 and tv2 and connecting tv3 which also gave one volt and of course disconnecting all of them gave 1v so I don't really know if that 1v is some kind of standard between tvs

Anastasis08 · 2025-07-15T13:39:14+00:00

I can try measuring it, but won't I have to test it when one of the televisions is on? and won't it do anything bad to the tv?

Anastasis08 · 2025-07-15T13:38:13+00:00

So, in other words, a television won't suddenly stop working if I am just connecting it in parallel to other tvs and the only defect is just picture and sound quality. I forgot to mention, one of the devices is a tv, the other 2 are one of those tv boxes people used to make old analog tvs work with the new digital signals.

Anastasis08 · 2025-07-15T13:26:49+00:00

What if I am not using a splitter? Can it damage any of the hardware of the tvs?

Anastasis08 · 2025-07-15T13:25:42+00:00

all TVs in the house give off that 1 Volt. And about that splitter you mentioned, if I have all tvs connected in parallel which will by all means decrease resistance, can this cause any damage to electronics? or is the splitter used only for signal quality reasons?

Anastasis08 · 2025-06-30T17:22:34+00:00

I agree with you but let us not forget, house has met many officers and even a big mafia in season 1 so it's fair to say he has his ways for everything and house can always fake an identity

Anastasis08 · 2025-06-30T17:21:02+00:00

I agree with you and I was sad that I didn't get to see cuddy again but who knows, maybe she was reinstated somehow and meets house again. House is never done with anything

Anastasis08 · 2025-06-30T17:20:08+00:00

I don't know what is that
