THE UK’s LEADING VINTAGE RADIO REPAIR AND RESTORATION CENTRE
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO REPAIR MY RADIO? That depends on the type of radio you have and what you want me to do with it. Do you just want me to get it going? Would you like a full service or perhaps a complete restoration? Check my competitors' prices and then email or phone me and I'll make you happy. I NEED TO KNOW ROUGHLY HOW MUCH THE REPAIR WILL COST BEFORE YOU GO AHEAD I will check your radio over, find the faults, and give you an estimate. There is no charge for this and you are under no obligation. If you don't want the work done, simply collect your radio and pay nothing. I'VE LOOKED AT PRICES ON OTHER WEB SITES - WHY ARE YOU SO CHEAP? I don't believe that I'm cheap. I charge what I believe to be a fair price for repairing radios and selling restored radios. I think you'll find that it's the other web sites which are expensive. WHAT DOES A FULL SERVICE INCLUDE? Check HERE for my detailed service procedure. Please be aware that an estimate to repair or restore your radio will not include the cost of repairing or restoring the cabinet - unless otherwise stated. During a radio repair or restoration, I will give the cabinet a quick clean and polish as part of the service procedure. However, full cabinet restoration, including speaker cloth replacement, is a separate issue. See HERE. I DON'T WANT MY RADIO SERVICED, CAN YOU JUST GET IT GOING? Yes, of course. I can replace a faulty valve or other component without servicing your radio. DO YOU GUARANTEE YOUR RADIO REPAIRS? Yes, all my repair work is guaranteed for one year. See my terms and conditions HERE ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THAT YOU DON'T REPAIR? Yes, click HERE for a list of equipment that I do not repair. HOW DO I GET MY RADIO TO YOU? I suggest you bring your treasured radio to me in person. However, you can post it to me. Please read this IMPORTANT NOTICE concerning postage. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CONTACT YOU TO SEE HOW MY RADIO REPAIR IS PROGRESSING? There's no need to contact me to see how your radio repair is progressing. All you need to do is click HERE. HOW DO I PAY YOU? I accept payment via PayPal - you can use a credit card with PayPal, even if you don't have an account with them. It's fast and secure, and it's become the most effective method of payment on the internet. Alternatively, you can pay by cheque, postal order or bank transfer. If collecting your radio in person, payment must be made and funds cleared prior to collection or by cash on collection. CAN YOU RESTORE THE WOODEN CABINET? Yes, see HERE. CAN YOU REPLACE THE SPEAKER GRILLE CLOTH? Yes, see HERE. WHAT SORT OF AERIAL WILL I NEED FOR MY RADIO? Many early radios have a built in aerial. If not, a length of wire around twenty feet long will give you reasonable results. For a decent aerial for medium and short wave reception, click HERE HOW MUCH IS MY RADIO WORTH? Valuing a radio is not easy. See HERE for details. I WANT TO SELL MY RADIO, ARE YOU INTERESTED? I do buy radios from time to time. Click HERE for details.
