Great job, Sherman ! I know how frustrating intermittents can be. They're like a software bug that you cannot reliably reproduce. PITA. And you're right, this radio is a real cutie and a great player. It's very sensitive with the RF amplifier stage, compared to the Philco 48-461. I'll ask Mr Peabody...

Works fine for me and I have no special permissions here. Did you try emptying cache and refreshing the page? Hover over one of the icons and verify it is an https: link.

Fine with me too. Ship it!

Hi Sherman . Great job on radio 2 but I'm not quite ready to sign off on it. Can you take care of these things please? 1. Your aux input is not isolated, so B- (AC line neutral!) appears on the connector. You need to add an audio isolation transformer. The transformer can also have step-up to raise ...

That's highly creative thinking and great execution, Sherman. Bravo and thank you!

Please save the old speaker in case we ever decide to get it re-coned.

Sherman. Want to do me a favor? Put the original chassis's back in the original cabinets, return to normal bulb operation with power from the filament string, not the B+. Replace defective speakers as needed. Repair dial diffusers as needed. Keep us updated.

Great stuff, Rocky. Thank you.

Often, initial failure is a prerequisite for success. Remember Edison and the light bulb? Sherman is a hero.

We could ruin 100 cloths and it's still pocket change.

Such a great job all you guys have done on the restorations. So proud. Show some pictures of the assembled radios!

You're doing great, Sherman ! You know what they say, live and learn. Living is enough for me at this point. You keep on learning. The second staining looks good and I like the idea of not going for a perfect spotless finish, and seeking an aged distressed look. Grimy hands, cigarette tar, dust, and...

Sherman , the only way we will have an LED dial lamp is this way: https://www.pinballbulbs.com/products/clear-4447-warm-white Please find an appropriate one (there are many options) and get rid of the wires you ran up through the chassis. When you design this, make sure the right amount of current ...

Thank you, gents! And same back to you all from everyone here at DG Tools.

My bad. Congratulations and thank you for all you do for the forum.

Dapper aren't you two?

Our awesome Sherman could use the WayBack Machine to ask Rodney Dangerfield to come and bless us here with his incredible humor and humanity. If Sherman could do that, doors would surely open. Don't you think?

Very simple, Sherman:

Thank you, Sherman. Bullwinkle will mark it resolved when he returns to his stable. Don't feel bad, I can't do it too. What's up with that?

Sherman , we need you to fix this drag/drop issue, as Rocky will be busy for a while. I've engaged a new dentist for Rocky and he will be gnawing acorns as good as new in a jiffy. Don't forget he lost all of his teeth in the BIG ACCIDENT. Sadly, reimplantation was not successful. The monitor will h...

Great words of wisdom!

In this case, perhaps we can attribute things to Sherman's youth, rather than any permanent character flaw.

Sherman, don't get your hopes up. I'd go for an F150 pickup first, and what do you see in my driveway?

if DG is willing to give up an arm and a leg (maybe one of two appendages as well) Uh, I'm aware only of the one appendage. What am I missing? :? And just to be clear, I'm not giving that up! I can't think of a better way to dispose of my savings before the progress bar of life reaches the end than...

Works for me too.

Halloween brings out the best in all of us. Hallelujah!

Yes indeed, Happy Halloween!

Thank you, Sherman, for cleaning up the versioning. Rocky will make a release today.

Now, don't you think that the documentation needs to be updated for that and also to catch up with new features and functionality?
