Check out my customer testimonials!! Many happy people out there!

 READ THIS!!!  

ONLY BUY A ‘RESTORED’ RADIO FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE!               

                                               and

BEWARE OF Ebay items saying ‘not tested’ or ’I don’t know if it works’ at silly prices! Don’t pay over the odds!!

ONLY HAVE YOUR RADIO REPAIRED BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

NEVER plug in an old radio that has languished for years in the outhouse or loft ‘just to see if it works’!!!!

Many old vintage valve radios have a live chassis! That means that any metalwork inside the radio will be LIVE (connected to the mains) and it can KILL YOU OR EVEN WORSE (!) if you touch it. Any exposed screws or any metalwork on the outside of the cabinet, like the metal speaker grill on DAC90’s, must be checked for safety by a competent person.

DO NOT CONNECT EXTERNAL WIRING TO THE GRAM or PU or TAPE SOCKETS ON YOUR RADIO UNLESS THE RADIO HAS BEEN CHECKED AND CERTIFIED AS SAFE!!

DON’T BE AFRAID OF YOUR RADIO BUT PLEASE BE SENSIBLE!! YOU WOULD’NT GO STICKING YOUR FINGERS IN THE BACK OF THE TV OR INTO A WHIRLING FOOD BLENDER WOULD YOU?…. er WOULD YOU? No???!!!!!

SO..........

Your old radio will be safe with me!!!!

NB with my work it is perfectly safe to plug in and play your iPod MP3 or DAB through your vintage radio!!

OPTION 5. A full restoration???  This is my bread and butter! And the most enjoyable!

I can refurbish and rebuild your old valve radio set back to its near original state.  This of course includes replacing tired and worn out parts such as all the leaky capacitors, out of spec resistors testing /changing valves/switches if necessary,  and ensuring the electrical  safety of the wireless.

Price per job but I know how frustrating it is to see websites without a hint at the possible cost!!!  As a rough guide you are looking at around £250+/- , could be more or could be less!!! The main cost to me is TIME as my quality work can take several weeks..... Let me give an accurate estimate ? Payments can be spread...... Contact me for details!
