I just bought an old Philco Model 37-61 F floor model radio. For as old as it is it is in not too bad of shape but it doesn't work. Besides getting it working it will also need a new dial as the original one is missing a chunk.

Would anyone know of anyone who repairs/restores antique tube radios in the Central Illinois area particularly in or around Peoria, IL?

Thank you

If the dial number is the same #27-5205 I think you can get a good repro one from Mark Oppat.

I don't know the item number of that dial. I'm not an electronics person so I haven't taken anything apart.
