If you have questions on the steps to repair your radio,
start here and please read this page

We have many customers who want to spend the bare minimum to get the radio working or those who want a complete restoration.  A complete restoration can be fairly expensive.  Especially if there is a wooden cabinet that needs repair and refinishing.  Antique radios have become very expensive pieces of fine furniture in homes today.  There are some wooden and Catalin plastic radios that are worth over $15,000.  There are also those radios that are not worth too much monetarily, but, are irreplaceable for sentimental reasons. 

On most older radios and electronic equipment paper and electrolytic capacitors are always in need of replacement.  With age, they are prone to failure do to moisture migration and/or loss of electrolyte.  As a result, they can either "short "or "open" up and fail.  In many cases, a shorted power supply filter capacitor can ruin more costly components such as the power transformer.  This is why all professional antique radio restorers recommend that you do NOT plug in and turn on an old radio (or TV, amplifier, etc) that has not been operated in years just in case there is a bad part.
