Hello,
Before you do any bidding please consider:
- I have many years of experience in Vintage Radio Restoration.
- My radio Restoration Philosophy is:
a) Paying attention to small details.
b) Replace only what's necessary for the radio to be reliable ,safe and do
all that possible to preserve the originality and historical value of the radio.
c.) Making the cabinet beautiful is not "Fully Restored Radio" It's just refinished cabinet,
there is a lot more that should be done like disassembling the chassis, washing parts (tuning capacitor)
replacing old dry out rubber grummets, dial cord, polishing dial face,cover, pointer + electronics +proper
alignment etc,etc....
- I have clients radio collectors all over the US and some in Europe
and sold over 200 radios on e-bay without one complain.
- Finally , I'm sorry but I don't start my listings with $1.00 or $20.00 I value my work and time
invested, my listings start with fair price and no reserves.
Thank You,

Cabinet:
It took lots of time and attention to restore the cabinet giving it new hand polished
finish and safe the nice original vintage patina and that's what make it beautiful.
No clear poly coats, WD40 or other - let it shine for the photo tricks.
Chassis: Cleaned and protected with corrosion protector T9 ( Great staff developed by the Boeing Co.)
Tubes: Checked for emission, shorts etc. Replaced as needed.
Capacitors: Paper capacitors are replaced with new good quality caps as needed. Electrolytic are replaced.
( Most of the time I will rebuilt the multi section electrolytic capacitors inserting new caps inside, this
depends on the radio)
Resistors: Check for tolerance and replaced as needed.
Switches,dial mechanism: all mowing parts: Are cleaned, lubricated or replaced if needed.
Speaker: I always rejuvenate the speaker cone with the " The Wet Look" ( excellent product specially
formulated for speakers ) Some times the speaker would have to be reckoned and in worst case scenario
replaced.
Alignment & tuning: I perform full alignment for maximum selectivity and sensitivity of the radio if
such is in need.
Schematics: I will include schematics diagram with the radio if available.
Guarantee: I will guarantee for the radio to work when received + 30 days on tubes, if any tube fail I will
provide or install new one.

on the photographs and what you read in the description.
