Looking for a sweet AM radio repair source

friendofvirgil · Oct 7, 2018

I'm looking for first-hand, satisfied customer experience referral cause I can look for ads in Hemmings or on the internets like anyone else. I suspect leaking capacitors and would like to have those replaced or whatever is not working repaired on a couple 1963 Plymouth AM radios. I do not want FM conversion, satellite radio, MP3, iTunes or any other techie, millennial upgrades. I only need the AM radio to project that sweet monophonic sound that is like a one-wheel peel for the ears.

I'd be happy to help you.
PM me with your model number of the radio and I'll see if I have the schematics.
You are correct the majority of the time a fresh recap and alignment brings these old radios back to life for many years to come.

Someone like Retrochad could help...but I don't know him personally. Just been enjoying this posting on the tube for the last 8 years or so...

I have a 64 AM radio being repaired in Duluth MN right now. I can let you know how it works when it is back. Should be done soon.

I'm interested in this as well. The radio in my 65 D100 works but barely and only picks up a one or 2 stations. Would really like to get this operating correctly.
