Just be sure to click on the "Radios for sale icon" to view the sets!



Investing in one of my Fully Restored radios will give you the advantage of
a set that has indeed been RESTORED, and not simply fixed, repaired, spiffed
up, or outsourced to another servicer or refinisher for work.

I have 29 years of experience in Antique Radio restoration and combine that
with my full time day job of MRI coil and system development and expertise
in Failure analysis to produce a restoration that has had detailed
attention given to each part of the radio, and not just a simple gutting of
the electronics or recapping of the chassis.

Each questionable part is replaced, wiring is examined, all tubes
are tested and replaced if necessary, mechanical assemblies are
disassembled, cleaned, relubed and aligned. Each set also gets a new
powercord that is grounded or polarized and an AC line fuse is added if not
already equipped.

Cabinets get detailed veneer repair and replacement if necessary,
dial bezels are restored, each knob is refinished or detail cleaned,
Photofinish is recreated if necessary and 7 coats of hand rubbed finish are
applied. The result is stunning and gives the purchaser a set that will be
around and working for many, many, years to come. Please visit the above
website for even more info about me and my restorations.





These are completely redone, not only part of the cabinet is refinished
and another part left cobbled up, the entire unit is restored. These
restorations are not simple "Recappings with a new power cord" I tend to
every part of the chassis that needs attention, cleaning and relubing
mechanical parts, rebuilding of dial assemblies, detailed refinishing or
cleaning of knobs and bezels and any specific needs of a particular chassis.
My sets are not "over restored", I don't rip every component and wire from
the chassis and replace it just because its old, these sets are preserved in
as much of their original state as possible to keep them reliable and safe.
27 years of doing antique radio restoration goes into knowing just what
needs to be done and just how it should be done when I restore one.



Thanks!!
