Popular with collectors, pocket radios led a social revolution and were responsible for radios being known as 'transistors'. We offer our repair/restoration service on pocket radios for a fixed fee of just £20 plus return postage. No fix, no fee
Repair/Restore - What's the Difference?
If your radio has a simple fault, then a repair may suffice to get your receiver going again. However, as electronic products age, certain components deteriorate, such as capacitors. In these cases it will probably be necessary to have a full restoration, which would replace all such components, and then check and adjust the alignment of the radio to ensure that it is operating to its optimum performance. Restoration may also be needed to update mains powered products to modern safety standards.
Cabinets
Restoration work also includes improving cabinet appearance where possible. Wood, Bakelite, Leather and Plastic cabinets can all be attended too. Individual requirements and possibilities will be discussed with you before any work commences.
