RADIO REPAIRS & SERVICING This is purely my opinion... I have seen a trend developing recently where the very mention of the words 'vintage radio' equate to 'lots of money'. Valve radios are old, some are antique, some of the parts aren't easy to obtain, and it will take a qualified radio engineer experienced in the repair and restoration of vintage radios to do the job properly. I don't think anyone would argue with that. But, does that mean that you will have to pay exorbitant prices to have your radio repaired? Your local radio and TV shop no longer repair valve equipment, which is fair enough as they are busy with plasma screen televisions. So, you turn to some old guy (like me) who was brought up with valves and has repaired more vintage radios over the last forty years than he cares to remember. But let's be sensible and keep things in perspective. You shouldn't have to take out a second mortgage to pay for the repair. I SPECIALISE IN THE REPAIR AND RESTORATION OF VINTAGE RADIOS If you have an old valve radio in need of repair, I will gladly take a look at it. Obviously, I can't give you an estimate until I've checked the radio and discovered exactly what the problem is. However, I won't charge you for estimating a price to repair your radio. Dig out that old wireless from the attic and I'll check it over for you. Even if your old bakelite or wood cabinet radio works, bring it to me and I'll give it a safety check. Enjoying the warm sound of your fifties valve radio won't cost you as much as you'd thought and, once again, it will give you many hours of enjoyment. I am City and Guilds qualified in radio and TV servicing and have spent several decades in the trade, so you can be assured that your radio will be in good hands. CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT WHAT A FULL SERVICE INVOLVES How long will it take me to repair your vintage radio? That all depends on how busy I am at the time, and how long it takes to get hold of a valve or other part that I may not have in stock. I have thousands of spares in stock, but I don't have every part for every make and model of vintage radio. When I've repaired a radio I like to give it a soak test, which means leaving it on all day every day for up to a week. The reason is that a radio of fifty or more years old, which might not have been used for many years, may develop other faults. So, be prepared to leave your radio with me for a week or two. I'm in Worthing, on the Sussex coast - see the map below. The first thing to do is email or phone me and we'll take it from there. My phone number is 01903 610090 Alternatively, you can come and visit me. Give me a call first just to make sure that I'm in the workshop. PROGRESS REPORT ON YOUR REPAIR For up to date information on the progress of your radio repair, you can check online by clicking HERE. This will save you the trouble of emailing or phoning me to find out how the repair is going. As far as I am aware, this service is unique to The Radio Workshop. YOU CAN CHECK THE PROGRESS OF YOUR RADIO REPAIR HERE HOW DO YOU GET YOUR RADIO TO ME? It's best to bring your treasured radio to me. However, you can post it if you live too far away. But do be sure to pack it well as antiques don't always travel too well by post. TAPE RECORDER REPAIRS I repair most makes of reel to reel tape recorders but not cassette types. The drive belts aren't easy to get but they are still available for most makes. The first thing to do is email or phone me and we'll take it from there. My phone number is 01903 610090 RECORD PLAYER REPAIRS If you have a record player in need of repair, then I can help you. Getting hold of a new stylus or cartridge might be a problem, but they are available. The first thing to do is email or phone me and we'll take it from there. My phone number is 01903 610090 EQUIPMENT THAT I DON'T REPAIR I don't repair radiograms because of the sheer size of them. However, if you are able to remove the chassis and bring it to me, then I will repair it. By the way, I don't repair Philips radios because I don't like them - I'll say no more than that.
