Restoration Info?

Are parts available for old radios?

Can my radio be repaired or restored?

How much will it cost?

How long will it take?

Can I get an estimate?

How about shipping and handling costs and insurance?

I have been restoring radios for 17 years. My specialty are the tube radios of the 1930's through the 1950's. I do not repair early battery radios or transistor sets...

I have over 3000 tubes in stock and can usually get what I do not have...the same with basic electrical parts like wiring, resistors, capacitors, etc. Dial glass, power transformers, missing buttons, etc. can be more difficult to locate, but often substitutes can be found.

I also do basic wood cabinet restoration....using only hand-rubbed Formsby products...no polyurethane. Most plastics can be polished.

I repair and restore radios as a hobby only. It is not a full-time business. I offer Free estimates....prefer to work with local customers who can deliver and pick up their radio without going through the hassle of packing and shipping.

If you would like to contact me regarding an estimate or radio repair work please drop me an email.

NOTE: Before you contact me, check your radio for manufacturer name and model number...often found on back, bottom, or inside of chassis on a paper label. Also, are all tubes present? Are all buttons present? Is the dial glass whole? Does the radio have any signs of having burned or shorted out...soot inside chassis, smell, etc. This information can be very helpful in determining whether or not the radio is worth restoring.
