+1 on John and Jean, they are indeed great people. Icon_thumbup

But I can also tell you that they stay very busy, and I seriously doubt they would be able to get your set going in time for this Christmas.

Anyone who is any good at restoring radios stays booked for months, sometimes years, on end. Really, I am afraid that you won't be able to find anyone who would be able to do this for you in time for Christmas 2013. Now Christmas 2014, yes, that is probably doable.

I am not currently aware of anyone closer to you that is in the radio repair business. Well, I just had a thought...perhaps the Cincinnati Antique Radio Society could help you?

Eliot Ness (John), do you know of anyone else?
