Vintage, Retro & Antique Tube Radio Restoration & Repairs

Specializing in Vintage, Retro & Antique Tube Radio Repairs And Service

Over 30 years of experience collecting, repairing/restoring antique and vintage radios with access to an extensive database of schematics and service data for all major brands.

Have an old tube radio you would like repaired or refurbished? Perhaps you have a family heirloom or came across a great garage sale find? Maybe you are looking to buy a unique, vintage, antique or collectible tube radio with bluetooth?

Either way, you have come to the right place! 

 Even if the set you have is currently working, chances are, if it has not been upgraded, it may have unsafe components. Items, such as resistors, often drift, capacitors dry out and wire insulation crumbles; all causing an unsafe situation. Let us make your gem safely sing again for you! 

Refurbishing the electronic chassis is done systematically and in a comprehensive manner.

Cost of a basic electronic refurbishing is $19.99 per tube in the set. The average tabletop radio has 5-7 tubes. This service includes:

  • Chassis cleaning
  • De-oxidization of tube sockets, potentiometers, band switches etc.
  • Lubrication of dial cord pulleys and tuning capacitor
  • A new line cord, plug and chassis grommet
  • Up to 10 non electrolytic capacitors
  • Test for out of spec tubes (Tubes extra)
  • Test/replace out of spec resistors
  • Replace crumbling wire insulation
  • Align set
  • Before and after photos provided upon request
  • 2 hour bench test after electronic "Surgery"
  • Schematic and brief radio history provided if available

 Often, the parts replaced as part of the basic refurbishing will resolve any issues. If further diagnostics and or parts are required, you will be notified prior to work commencing. This would include vaccuum tubes, coils, chokes, speakers and other hardware if required. 

Get the process started in two easy steps: 

1) Contact Us and let us know what the make/model number of your radio is and what work you would like done. We will then provide very important packing instructions and the shipping address. (Depending on the courier used and your location, the Retro Radio Shop facility to send your radio may vary).

2) Once it has been shipped, please forward the tracking number as soon as possible to us. This is important as we will assign a work order number to your project, which secures its place in the queue.

We receive a relatively high volume of radios and you will want to be in the system early.  Turnaround time can be variable; on average though, 10-14 days from receipt can be expected.
