!!!ATTENTION!!!!

Due to the high amount of time/ cost needed to restore a radio, coupled with the ever increasing amount of age related problems with ancient electronics, We will no longer be offering stock restoration services for the foreseeable future- We will only be offering Conversion services. Please consider having your radio Converted- it will sound better, tune better and be more reliable and still retain the 100% stock appearance you love when mounted in the dash!

Why Restore your stock radio?

Cruising in a classic car is a thrill thats hard to beat. Part of that enjoyment comes directly from the radio. The stock radio is an integral part of the cars interior and can add or detract value depending on the condition of that radio. Unfortunatley these radios are between 35 and 80 years old and in desperate need of restoring. At the very least, every classic car radio should have the Electrolytic capacitors replaced and the tuner cleaned/ relubed. Controls wear, component values drift and paint flakes off. But that sad old radio can be made to work like new again and look great while you are cruising.

Whats included in the Resto

Time takes its toll on everything, including your radio. Over time, wires become brittle, capacitors dry out, grease hardens, paint chips, fades and flakes off, screws and cases rust and tuners stick. For this reason EVERY radio we restore has all electrolytic capacitors and out of tolerance components replaced, replacement of vibrators and rectifiers with solid state replacements when available,test and replace (if needed) all tubes, precise alignment of all RF and IF circuits, cleaning, lube and alignment of the mechanical tuner, repair or replacement of Pots, switches coils and transformers and replace all brittle, pinched or damaged wires. Then we clean/polish all cosmetic parts, clean cases and repaint heat sinks, dial pointers, dial backgrounds, and masks. Whenever possible we save and re-attach or completely recreate original stickers and labels. Finally each radio is tested for a minimum of 72 hours before being sent back to you with a 1 YEAR WARRANTY. The goal of the restoration is to make the Radio function like new and look like a clean survivor radio.

Warranty

Every radio restored by Joe's Classic Car Radio is returned with a 1 year warranty. If your radio should fail to function in that time, We will repair it at no cost. The warranty covers all electronic and mechanical parts of the radio.
