WOOD CABINET RESTORATION

Do you have a nice old valve radio which you enjoy listening to? Is the wooden cabinet looking a little rough with age? I can restore the cabinet for a very reasonable price. You don't have to pay a fortune to have your cabinet stripped of old polish and varnish, re-stained and polished.

Do bear in mind that the restored cabinet will not look like new. A vintage or antique radio cabinet will reflect its age, and that aged look should be retained. If you own an antique table worth £1000 and you strip the veneer and replace it with new, you would more than halve the value of the table. Unlike some restorers, I totally disagree with making an antique radio cabinet look like new or, worse still, better than new. In my opinion, it's a criminal act to destroy an antique radio by turning its cabinet into some kind of showpiece.

Email me, or give me a ring, and we'll take it from there.
