Latest DVD from
Bret's Old Radios:
Vintage Radio Alignment: What It Is and How To Do It
Ever wondered why your vintage tube radio just doesn’t sound as good as it could?
You’ve tested the tubes and changed all the capacitors, yet it still doesn’t receive stations very clearly.
Your problem could be that your radio is out of alignment!
Proper radio frequency alignment is your key to better-performing tube radios, and my latest DVD video will teach you exactly what it is and how to do it.
Watch and you’ll better understand how the sensitive RF, IF, and oscillator circuits in your radio work, and how with just a signal generator and a volt meter, you can fine-tune them so that your vintage radio is as sensitive and selective as it can be! We'll align TRF sets, early Superheterodyne radios, the All American Five radio, and many more.
Plus, we’ll spend time on how to tune wave-trap antennas, and align FM and Short Wave.
Filmed before a live audience, this hour-long video is a fun, visual, hands-on, and interactive learning experience that will help you get even more fun and satisfaction from radio collecting and restoration.
My videos are hands-on, geared for either the beginning or experienced hobbyist, and are delivered in a fun, conversational style. You won’t find videos like these ANYWHERE else!

Reviews and Testimonials:
"For all those who saw Bret Menassa’s presentation in the radio restoration clinic at
Radiofest 2009
, and for those who missed it, you will want to obtain this new DVD.
Bret’s easy to understand explanations and terrific graphics and demonstrations provide simple and straight forward explanations about the RF and IF and Oscillator circuits...
Throughout, he offers ways to do these repairs safely and effectively, carefully showing each of his techniques to the audience.
The video was based on Bret’s live demonstration in the radio restoration clinic held at the Antique Radio Club of Illinois’
Radiofest
in August 2009
.
A regular visitor to ARCI’s Radiofest, Bret has a wide audience, and he is well respected in the radio community.
As with all of Bret’s videos, I encourage everyone to add this one to their library!!
