<p>[QUOTE="Dave K, post: 2296455, member: 15423"]Hi Dan - nice find on a Goodwill radio - do you know the model number? Concerning restorations, yes they are expensive using a shop. It is time consuming more than anything. That is why I learned to repair them myself. If the radio was playing at one point, usually replacing all the capacitors will do the trick. New line cords are also a good thing to replace. $350 is likely more than the radio is worth these days. Recapping is not difficult as long as you have a good volt-ohm meter, a soldering iron and can follow a schematic. Parts are readily available.</p><p>Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
