Radio Restoration

Mike the guy from Elizabethtown Kentucky , he sells on the auction site but will do your radio . He does good work I think . I have purchased a 36 radio from him oh and a 55 ford radio , both real nice . He has a 41 on there now you could look at. A super guy to deal with I have found.
Cheers
Tony
 
I can't recommend them but they have speakers. http://www.turnswitch.com/ I do my own work on radio sets so I've never used them.

Capacitors usually need to be replaced with modern ones. The ******** may just need the points dressed. Vacuum tubes may still be good but replacements are available. You can get a speaker reconed but decent modern style replacements are available from above.
 
Look around your area for an electronics repair shop. I found one nearby that can fix the old stuff. Mine did not require dial restoration or any work to enhance the appearance however.
 
There is a guy in Soddy-Daisy TN (Chattanooga) that does old radios. He can restore it as well as convert it to FM and either 6V or 12 V. I can not remember his name at the moment but may be able to find it out tomorrow at our weekly car guys get together. I understand he does good work.

He should be able to help you, I plan to use him when I get ready for a radio in my 46 couple.
 
You might try Al Corbin (tslfwb@aol.com) who posts from time to time on this forum; he wrote the book (literally, "Antique Radio Repair" by Al Corbin-still in print) . He repaired the remote head Philco in my '36 pickup, very fast and efficient service and not expensive
