Free repair estimates are provided upon request. USPS, UPS and Fed Ex shipments accepted. Please call or write us prior to shipping for packaging suggestions.
If possible, please provide clear closeup photos of the top and bottom of your receiver chassis prior to shipment. This can possibly prevent shipment of a radio which is clearly beyond economical repair.
Radio repair service is available for most antique and vintage radios made in the United States during the 1920’s through the 1960’s. All radio repairs come with a 6 month warranty that covers labor and material. *In order to eliminate the risk of further damage, please do not plug in your radio until it has been serviced. An inspection of your radio is required in order to provide you with an accurate repair quote. There is no charge for the inspection and repair quotation and there is no obligation to authorize any repair. Should you decide to not have your radio repaired, I only ask that you pay the return shipping cost. Radios have been shipped from across the country to be repaired from over 39 states.
