radio repair in Michigan or Ohio
#1

Anyone out there that repairs old tube radios in the Michigan Ohio area. I am in the process of redoing my basement and have all of my tools, tubes, and such put away so I can do the call of duty on my basement that was still living in the 60's when I was transferred from Georgia to Michigan.  I picked up a Philco 47-1230 locally and figured I would get it freshened since the owner said it had been serviced but his grandkids were playing with the buttons and it doesn't work as well as it used to.  Cabinet is in great shape and it still has the original rear cover.  After my wife passed away and I retired catching a house built in the 60's back into close to the modern times has tied up my days.
