[Roadsters] Vintage AM Radio Repair (Charles Hubbard)

[Pat Horne]

Charlie, sounds great! I don’t know if my 67.5 radio works or not, haven’t tried it in about 30 years. Don’t have a speaker & even if I did it is not important to have it work. My hearing aids are connected to my phone so I just stream to them. If I ever feel like getting the radio working I’ll get the number. 


I thought about going up to OKC or Durant OK next weekend for the Route 66 get together or the car show @ the casino in Durant but I don’t think I will. Too far to drive for a day. Besides, I can spend that time working on my car! Starting engine assembly. 

Peace,
Pat

 Pat,

I found a guy that has worked on the radio and will flat rate them for $65 plus shipping costs.  He’s a boomer that likes to stay busy doing what he enjoys.  For that price, I can’t see how I can go wrong.

The ON/OFF switch doesn't work and the dial lights (tiny screw-in bulbs) are burned out.   Any recommendations would certainly be appreciated.
