If you do not feel comfortable working on it yourself, then you should do the following:

1. Place an ad in the "Wanted Ads" section of the Phorum.
Go to the Phorum home page - scroll down - keep scrolling until you are close to the bottom of the page - you will see For Sale or Trade and Wanted Ads.

2. Use the Resources pages here in the Phroum to find a radio repairman near you.
Look under Philco Info > Philco Resources.

I see you are in Washington state. There are two radio clubs in your part of the country - Puget Sound Antique Radio Association and the newer Inland Empire Antique Radio Society. Contact one (or both) of these clubs and see if they can recommend someone close to you that can work on your radio for you.
