Antique Radio Restoration Guide Paperback – September 29, 1992

Just starting my journey to rebuild a family radio from 1948. Ii have already read the entire book and several of the chapters i have reread at least three times to make sure i have all the details. I am building some of the recommended test equipment and purchasing non-working need to have items like tube testers and variacs. if you are setting down the road to do tube radio, phono or TV repairs this is a good first step. I am looking for more detailed books now that I read the primer on radio repair and reconditioning. Glad I found this book! Great first step!

very useful reference book

If you are into vintage radio restoration and a beginner, this is a great book to have and read.

This book is very informative to the beginner for repair and restoration of older Radio equipment. I highly recommend getting the book for the beginner and for reference purposes providing you find one a lot less pricy. What I fail to understand is its present day price. I bought this book from Amazon, NEW in 2004 for $11.87 including the shipping. How it arrived to its present price escapes me. Unless I'm missing something I would continue to search for a better source of information and there are many in the under $50.00 range. I believe I'll hold on to my copy a little bit longer; its increase in value has far exceeded the rate of increase of your average antique radio. Who new.

I inherited two old radios and decided that I would like to restore, use and display them. This book provides a logical and detailed process to follow in restoring old radios. The book also stresses safety. I recommend this book but I would also recommend looking on the internet for other radio repair books and articles on repairing and restoring radios.

A great book for re-introducing myself to radio's basic principles. It set me up, nicely, for the Ham Radio Technician Class license exam. After 50 years away from the hobby, I now have a call sign again: KD9CNP.It also helped me rebuild my late mother's 1942 Westinghouse table radio.

This is a very informative book. It gives the reader a lot of detail. It is a great book for those wanting to fix or repair old radios.

The book is very informative. My husband knows a lot but still refers to this for ideas and head scratchers.
