RADIO RESTORATION
PART OF MY GROWING COLLECTION

Restoring a vintage valve radio to its former glory isn't simply a matter of getting the thing working and wiping the cabinet over with a damp cloth. The radio must be removed from the cabinet, faults located and repaired, components likely to fail must be changed, the alignment checked, the wiring checked... The list goes on and on. The wooden cabinet will need restoring which can mean stripping the old varnish, repairing, rubbing down, staining, waxing... Bakelite cabinets will need washing and polishing. A complete restoration can take many hours. But the end result is well worth the time and trouble.
