I will put your vacuum tube radio back into like new operating condition for a fixed fee of $50 plus cost of parts and shipping. Included in the fee is total cleaning, MINOR mechanical repairs, complete electronic repairs, alignment and test. Typical parts costs are: Capacitors, $1 each, Filter Caps, $3 each, Resistors, $ 1 each, Tubes, $3 - $25.

I'll take on any set that has not been crushed or submerged. Home or car radios. Please understand, I'm advertising repairs, not cosmetic restoration.

Josh if you plan on leaving it 6 volts any car or truck radio up to early 50s will be 6 volt positive ground. The early radios are physically larger than the ones near the 50s.

Al, there were some recent posts on the early v8 forum by folks looking for someone to fix their radio. I suggested they send you a PM, however, they said they could not get in touch with you via PM or email. Maybe he did finally contact you. Wish we had a vendor contact page/or listing here on the new Fordbarn like we had on the old Fordbarn.
