Philco PT-25
#1

Hello All,

I have a Philco PT-25 that I would like to get electrically restored.  The unit works and plays but it still has all the wax capacitors and resistors and the chassis is very dirty.  The cabinet is beautiful so no need to restore anything on the outside.  Could anyone recommend maybe someone in the Chicago area that would be interested or know of anyone I could take it too.  I have never had a radio restored and have no idea on what it costs.  I know all radios are different as far as price, but what ballpark figure am I looking at to get this thing electronically updated, cleaned and restored so that it lasts many more years?  I mostly collect vintage tube radio's for display purposes but this one works and I want to keep it that way!  Any help, I would greatly appreciate it!!  Thanks very much!!

Cheers!
John
