Here you will find some of the most common questions our customer would ask:

How much it will cost me to repair my antique radio?

The price would depend on severity of the problems your radio has:

• Is it working a bit right now?
• Can you hear some stations or hum only? Is there an external antenna attached?
• Does your radio light up and could you see the tubes filament on? Does your radio have " magic eye" tube and does it glow green?
• Is there any trace of burn or burning odor? That would indicate dead short in power supply and even a possibility of a power transformer burned.
• Does the dial string work and could you see the pointer moving?
• How many tube does your radio or equipment have?
• How much rust is on the chassis?
• To your knowledge, was your radio repaired or attemp has been made by somebody before?
• What kind of radio do you have (antique car or auto radio, table model, console or floor model, wood finish or plastic etc.)
• Do you want to have a cabinet restored too and in what shape it is now (veneer ok, peeling, water damaged)
• What level of restoration do you want?

• How old is your radio? (approximate age, if known)

• Make and model number - serial number does not help at all.

How much is my radio and what is the value of my set?

The value of your radio depends on several factors. First one is the shape your radio is in. Second factor is the make and model number or your radio. (if you could provide this information, I would be able to look it up in latest price guides) (This informatios is FREE to those who would ask.) The third and the most important factor is : Is your radio restored completely (cabinet and electronic) or does it work a bit, sometimes maybe? For example : I have, I think 1940 Zenith console radio Model 12S345, no sound, hums only, "magic eye" does not light up green, cabinet is in excellent condition.
