Brace yourselves. This is almost too much. Prepare for sensory overload and possible palpitations. Wow. This is really amazing. Note the very casual way Paul manages to mix Eico 430 oscilloscopes with the latest Tek touch-screen 'scope. Heck, the doesn't even mention the SP-600s! He does briefly note "a very large transmitter." Indeed. And he has a microscope on the bench.
This video is part of an excellent YouTube channel called "Mr. Carlson's Lab." Great stuff in there. Paul works on everything from old tube type receivers to modern Yaesus and Icoms.
It took me a little digging to find his ham radio call sign. There are many Paul Carlsons on QRZ.com, but Paul's pronunciation of "solder" gave him away. It seems our Canadian friends also (like the Brits) pronounce the "L." VE7ZWZ.
Fantastic post. I joined Paul's Patreon account to say thanks. Agree he does not emphasize the Ham Radio interest that much. I like the SX-28 but he has several boatanchors. Looks like a Metrology Lab but more classical stuff. Going to fix my HQ129-X owned since 1970's based on his and other videos! Hilary W4HDL
I would really like to see a video about his most valuable piece of vintage gear, the AN/UPM-110 microwave spectrum analyzer. This late-50s piece of equipment has a bandwidth of 44GHz- or what they called kilomegacycles.
You may not have seen Paul's collection of equipment. He has a n entire room full of collectable radios and other such stuff separate form his lab/station desk setting.
Great electronics guy, i just found on you tube i checked pauls call i thought i worked paul from Australia on 20m but i could not find it in my log so maybe one day, worked many, ve7 calls , the best you tube video,s i have seen so far .
Mr. Carlson wondering if you could quote me a price to work on a 1954 or so 21 inch Firestone television I believe the only thing not working is the on off switch. However I'm sure everything needs adjusting. My name is Gary Etchison in Grace, Idaho USA. My phone is 208 339 4776 thanks!
