Antique Radio Repair and Restoration

 

Antique radio repair and restoration are defined as follows:

 

Antique radio repair means doing only what is necessary to get an old radio playing.  Typically, a repaired antique radio will stop playing again because another old part fails. Our focus is on complete restoration (see below), ensuring years of reliable service.  We will repair sets that have had a previous restoration.

 

Antique radio restoration includes replacement of all paper and electrolytic capacitors, out of tolerance resistors, bad wiring and insulation, defective tubes, pilot lamps, transformers, switches and controls.  Also includes replacement of the power cord, minor speaker repair, installation of a safety fuse, chassis cleaning and alignment of tuned circuits to ensure maximum output and sensitivity.  We can also install new capacitors inside the casing of old capacitors for those collectors who like to keep the underside of the antique radio chassis looking as original as possible.

 

We use a speaker repair service for speaker cones that are beyond what we can repair in-house. Original parts are salvaged whenever possible.

 

Please do not attempt to power up an antique radio of unknown condition, shorts or fire could result!
