Restoration Cost question
#3

Welcome to the Phorum!!
I understand you are just trying to get a range, but its tough to do that. Reproduction knobs, buttons and dial window will run you about $80 plus shipping. A speaker could be anywhere between $25-$50. The capacitors and resistors that will need to be replaced will probably be $20 - $30. The chassis probably has the rubber wiring that 1939 models had and it will need to be replaced (mostly labor cost but tedious to do). Then as morzh mentioned it depends on what else is needs cleaning and work. If you look at RadioDaze.com their "calculator" for repair (to just get the radio playing) for an 6 tube radio is $150. That basically gets the radio running assuming the parts are all there to start with. So with that info I'd be looking at $300 for the low end of the repair range. Just my guess for what its worth.. Icon_biggrin Other folks will have other opinions I'm sure.
