Welcome to the PHorum!
Icon_wave

You can try a couple things. Put a query in the Wanted Ads section and see if there is someone on the Phorum that might be near enough to you and interested in helping out with the restoration.

The MAARC Mid America Antique Radio Club is in the Kansas City area and you could contact them to see if there are members who are interested and able to help you out.

There are also restorers who you can ship the set to and they will ship it back, but as you are painfully aware, shipping can be an issue. There are ways to ship these radios successfully although 20s have a fragile grill. A few of these restorers are in our Resources section under Radio Repair and Restoration. (including a couple that are about a 9 hour drive from you)

Cheers,
Bob
