Restored Antique Radios FS
http://www.a383ina68.addr.com/radiorest/main.htm Just be sure to click on the "Radios for sale icon" to view the sets! These investment quality 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 from an extensive inventory of vintage veneer, 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. My Restorations are just what you're looking for if you want a set that looks and works as new. 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. 30 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!! Keith Park |
