Original rebuild source for old radios question

[pflaming]

I found a source who rebuilds old radios. If there is interest he will rebuild our mopar radios. Does this interest anyone. They would remain AM radios. It would be helpful to know what would be a fair price so you input is requested.

I just had my 1940 Motorola radio done buy this fellow:

I'm pleased with the work. He can restore it to original, (what I did), add an input for external devices or Blue tooth, and all the way to putting modern guts in  the original case.

 

I spent a half hour at his place and got a detailed tutorial of all the choices and how it's done.

 

Mine was restored both electronically and mechanically, electronic vibrator added, and the case sandblasted and painted with original wrinkle finish. A couple mechanical parts were fabricated for the tuner. Cost was right at $200.

Check out the home page of S&M electro tech from the links page.  There home page is a 802 radio converted/upgraded.  I had mine restored, but if I could have had the insides updated and left it 6 volt I think I would have.  This guy's local so I'm going to see about a new speaker.

Yup good guys. I had my 802 redone by a friend who added in an ipod jack but these guys did Dads 69 AM/FM stereo for his fury. Excellent work and they new how to bypass the missing tape deck.
