1950s Valve Radio Repair - Pilot T85M Pt 2 - Cleaned and Recapped

1950s Valve Radio Repair - Pilot T85M Pt 2 - Cleaned and Recapped On the bench now is this valve radio, a Pilot T85M which is a derivative model from the earlier 85A and 85U. It is an AC only set with four valves plus rectifier. It has 3 wavebands, Long Wave, Medium wave and a Shortwave band that covers from 5Mhz to 18Mhz. It comes in a nice compact tabletop format bakelite cabinet. The Pilot T85M gets its model designation from its format, the design base and its valve type. The original Model 85a used standard octal valves whereas the T85M uses miniature valves, hence the M at the end of the model number. What about this exact set? Well, I bought it very cheap. Silly cheap. The cabinet is in very good condition for its age with very few visible scratches. There is a small piece missing from the bottom and there is a fairly long crack, also in the base of the cabinet but neither of these are visible unless you turn the set over. The back is actually there although scruffy in places. The antenna wires were hanging out of the back of the set loose. It has its' original two wire cord but no AC plug fitted. All of the control knobs are present and undamaged. In this video I fire up the power, wait for the flash, bang and smoke. You have to watch the video to find out more! As always, this hobby has its share of dangers. With any valve based equipment you are playing with voltages that could kill you, and hurt a lot while you are dying. If you want to fix stuff like this then by all means have a go but learn some basic safety first. Unlike modern equipment where the nasty electricity is in one small part of the circuit this old stuff is full of nasty electricity and as AvE calls them... Angry Pixies. The pixies are not just angry, they are psychotic and psychopathic. Don't just prod your fingers at them... they bite. With that, I wish everyone all the best.
