Usually if an antique car radio doesn't play, it probably needs a new vibrator plus a new set of paper and filter capacitors. That, in 99% of all cases brings the antique car radio back to life with "Better than New" performance. I hope that you choose me to electronically restore your Antique Car Radios.

This is one of 3 methods I use to calculate the price of a restoration: Restoration: I count the number of paper and filter capacitors and multiply by $20.00 Tax: If you live in NY State I have to charge you sales tax.  Return Shipping: Whatever you paid for shipping is what I need to ship your antique car radio back to you. Payments: should be in the form of a USPS Postal Money Order (Purchased at a US Post Office). For example, if you have a 1950 Chevrolet car radio with 12 capacitors to replace, the cost would be $240.00 + (sales tax if you live in NY state) + return shipping by the above method. However, if the radio needs paper and electrolytic capacitors and vibrator replaced, and needs nothing else to bring it back to original working condition or better, then the price could be lower at my regular prices. The $240.00 is for a White Glove restoration. For more information on the other ways I price a restoration please read my FAQ or call me, or send me an e-mail.

 
 

Since there are thousands of Antique Car Radios I cannot give an accurate number for how much its going to cost without actually seeing it and giving you a free estimate.       As of 4/1/06 the cost of a Flat Rate antique car radio restoration covers Everything and anything needed to get your radio working like it did when it was new or better. I'm going to try and include all I can. Some parts, however may be unavailable, or may have to be fabricated, or if a part is extremely expensive. In that case, there may be an additional charge, but for the most part, I will include everything possible, if it is necessary. Please read my FAQ for more information. Information about Antique TVs can be found on my Antique TV restoration page.  Information about Antique Radios can be found  on my Antique Radio restoration page.

Please package well.  Please use plenty of bubble wrap, plenty of packaging peanuts and a heavy (double wall) shipping box.  Its even better to put a box in a box.     Remember, I have to use the same packaging to send your antique car radio back to you.  So please do not use a lot of tape on the bubble wrap.  If the inner box is the right size it will hold the bubble wrap on the radio.      Also, I cannot continue to buy new cartons and packaging materials for everyone who sends me an antique car radio to restore.  There are just too many now. So please package well.   Thanks,  Dave
