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 it's 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. 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?

DO YOU SUPPLY SPARES? As my stock increases, I am beginning to supply spares for vintage radios. I have a good selection of mains transformers plus audio output and IF transformers along with some LF chokes for power supplies. Check my surplus spares HERE WHY ARE YOUR ECONOMY RESTORED RADIOS SO MUCH CHEAPER? The economy radios have been restored to my usual high standard, but they are not always as collectable as some of the older makes and models. They make great everyday listening radios and are ideal to start off your collection. See HERE TO SAVE ME CHECKING EVERY DAY, CAN YOU UPDATE ME WHEN A RADIO IS ADDED?
