I thought the radio restoration on Monday was pathetic.
For a start, if it was of such sentimental value to the owner how could it have got into that state? He said he used it in the greenhouse, I think it must have been buried under the soil.
The restorer had to replace parts 'for safety reasons'! The only way that radio could be unsafe is if it was thrown at someone. And instead of giggling like schoolboys at 'pF', wouldn't it have been more instructive to explain what a capacitor was, and that capacitance is measured in Farads which subdivide into microfarads and picofarads. But that would been too technical for the producer to understand.
And just as the owner called to collect it and it was turned on, there happened to be a message to him broadcast by the local radio station...………….what a coincidence.
It wasn't actually demonstrated working in a believable way.
