Restoration Cost question
#2

Yes, this is the right Phorum.

Depends on what you are looking for in the restoration?

Full rewiring?
Cassis cleaned/rust removed/plated or painted, or polished or simply cleaned of dirt and heavy rust? Or just dirt?
Original capacitors preserved and restuffed, or removed and repaced with modern, or preserved and bypassed with modern?
Resistors - modern straight or made up to look as original dogbones?

The price might deend on whether you have open coils, bad transformers etc, which is not known.

Some folks who are almost full time into it might just give you an upfront price, some might base it on the actual chassis for which they will need to have it for evaluation.

Also, when you say "qualify", any prticular criteria the prospective restorer has to meet?

Would you be willing to send the chassis out of state or you are only looking for local person and you will be hand delivering/picking up the chassis?


What do you think your budget is? (a radio can be made to play on a tight budget and it will be a reliable repair, but not full restoration, of which, as said before, degrees also vary).
