Know anyone that can repair these AM radios?

Does anyone know of where a guy can get an original AM radio repaired?

[DANTIP]

I had an AM radio stop working and found one on Ebay for $25 that works perfectly. Had a radio shop tell me $100 to fix the old one. My old one had a better face plate so I swapped the face plates and went on.

Good Luck!

[special-K]

Do you just want it stock?I know a guy that takes them and gives them back to you with 180w,am/fm,CD/MP3/XM ready...not cheap.

What's wrong with it? Are you looking to have it restored, or repaired? Is it totally dead, or does it do anything when you power it up?

[glock35ipsc]

Wanting to get it repaired. It hasn't worked in 10-15 years, doesn't power up.

I sent my AM-FM to Joe...
Radio works better than new...although for an AM Radion I bet you could get a nice used working one for about $25-50. Just a thought and free info. Good Luck

Thank You for contacting us.

You did not mention if your radio is AM only or AM/FM. I will include prices for both.

Restoration includes Initial testing of the radio to determine all problems. After testing the unit is disassembled. All Electrolytic capacitors and out of tolerance compents are replaced. The mechanical tuner is cleaned, lubed and aligned. The electrical tuner is aligned. We clean and repaint (as needed) the heat sink, dial mask, dial background and dial pointer. If your label has salvagable labels, they will be removed and reinstalled after the service. If we have reproduction labels available, we will install them. The covers will be cleaned to the best of our abilities. We do not paint covers unless they are in bad shape when they arrive. The radio is tested for minimum of 72 hours before being returned to you with a lifetime warranty.

For the 8 track unit. we again replace all electrolytic capacitors and out of tolerance components. We clean lube and adjust the tape mechanism. Clean the tape head and replace the belts. The unit is also tested for 72 hours and returned with a 2 year warranty. Unfortunately due to the nature of the 8 track (belts stretch, tape heads wear and mechanisms get dirty) we can no tgive lifetime warranties on those units.

Prices are as follows:

AM only radio: $185.00
AM/FM radio: $240.00
If your radio has a separate Stereo unit (Multiplex) that connects to it by a cable- there is an additional $60.00 charge for restoration of that unit.

8 track Unit: $165.00

There will also be a $25.00 charge for S&H.

Replating cases or faceplates is available at additonal charge but will also add to the turn around time.

Current turn around time is 3 weeks from when we receive the radio. We plan to promote the services startign septemeber 1, 2008 on Ebay- If you radio arrives after September 1, it could be 5 weeks due to the ammount of units we usually get in during the promotion.

If you are interested in the services you can package your radio and 8 track and send it to:

Joe's Classic Car Radio
417 Cherry Hill Rd.
Laurens, SC 29360

Payment can be a check/money order made out to "JOE CILLUFFO" sent with the radios or you can you pay via paypal to joesclassiccarradio@yahoo.com

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank You
