Cost Analysis for Admiral 6EI, 6EIN

The Admiral 6EI, 6EIN
Luggage type Portable Radio
 

Below are two pictures of the chassis.  Parts are identified by a number.
 

Part number 7 (7 in a circle, lower right) is the filter capacitor can. There are 3 filter capacitors inside that need replacing.
 
 

This is the bottom view of the chassis.  Capacitors numbered 8 through 17 are the paper capacitors to be replaced.  That is a total of 10 paper capacitors.

Since there are 13 capacitors to replace for this restoration, this makes the labor on this set:
10 * 13 = $130.00
 

Here is a list of the capacitors and their corresponding prices:

13 paper and filter capacitors

So for this set the restoration would cost $130.00 + (Tax if you live in NY State) + Shipping.

This is the price for the flate rate radio restoration. It covers more than the paper and filter capacitors. For this radio I will include, line cord, dial lamp and up tp 5 small resistors, if necessary if they are in need of replacement as a part of the restoration. Tubes cost and other parts are extra, if they're necessary. If your radio needs dial cord re-stringing, that is included in the flat-rate restoration as well if it's a simple dial cord arrangement.

My regular prices are Labor + Parts. In this case the labor alone for 160 volt radios is 13 x $8.45 = $109.85. The capacitors cost $22.00. So $109.85 + $22.00 = $131.85. No, the flat rate is a better price for this restoration. My regular prices were more difficult to calculate. That's why I delevoped a flat-rate price.

This Portable Battery Radio does not qualify for the 6 tube radio restoration special.
