How I Restored a 1960s Nordmende Transita Automatic with only 9 Capacitors

Only $5 for 10 PCBs and every new member get $5 bonus. + Express 24 hour / 48 hour service on https://www.pcbway.com/ ➠ ➠ ➠ In this video, I restore a gorgeous Nordmende Transita Automatic 49m—a luxury portable radio from the 1960s with a stunning wooden cabinet covered in leather. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I opened it up, but I was pleasantly surprised that all it needed was the replacement of 9 capacitors. The result? Exceptional FM reception and a beautifully functioning piece of history.

This restoration is proof that you can save one of these treasures from the dump with minimal investment—just some time, a bit of TLC, and a love for vintage craftsmanship. I also want to encourage you not to pin all your hopes on a single project. It might take a few attempts to get it right, but the effort is always worth it. These radios deserve a second chance, and the results can be truly rewarding.
