Radio Restoration

brian schuetta · 01-16-2018, 05:05 PM

I know this is a restoration question but I think there is a lot of knowledge on this forum in that area. I have a 1974 Corvette project that has a radio that will light up but doesn't seem to work. Checked the speakers, power, antenna, etc. Anyone have a source for a place to fix these old radios? It's the original. Thanks.

I have used R&B Vintage Radio in Greenbrier,(?) TN with great results - he's done 2 for me, also internally converting to AM/FM with a remote I-POD plug. Richard is his name. Very pleased.

I would also recommend John at Precision radio. He live in the area where the shop i ran for many years and would pick the radios up and drop them off. I figured he would be retired by now.

Since I'm here in San Antonio I'll give Precision a try. Thanks for the replys.

Another place a friend had his 65 Corvette radio repaired at was this place. It is in Huntsville Texas.
