Restoration
philosophy
My
restoration philosophy has been to leave these classic radios in
their original condition as much as possible. I prefer not to
refinish or repaint a set unless it's absolutely necessary. When
this is necessary, I use a professional person for refinishing &
repainting. I have always tried to obtain the nicest original sets
and although some may not be working, they will be a clean platform
in which to begin a solid restoration. Radios will be listed as
working originals, working electrically restored or non working
originals, "as is." Any repairs that have been made, and any
cosmetic flaws associated with the radio, are completely disclosed.
I have been collecting radios since getting out of college in 1986.
I have a fairly vast collection spanning all eras of radio
evolution. Please contact me for any "wants" that you may
have; I may have it! Thank you.Warranty information
All radios are tested to make sure they are playing prior to
shipping. A lot of jostling in shipping can make tubes loose and
connections become unconnected. These are some of the unforeseen
results associated with shipping. I have no control over how the
shipper treats the package. If you purchase a radio and it is not
working and playing when you receive it, I will offer several
suggestions to help it work. If those suggestions don't solve the
problem, you are welcome to ship it back to me for any repairs that
are necessary. The radio will be shipped back to you at my expense,
or your purchase price will be completely refunded if the set can't
be repaired.
Conditions
for return
I want you happy with any radio you purchase from me. If for
any reason, you are not satisfied with the radio you bought in the
condition stated in the original ad, please contact me within three
(3) working days to begin discussing any issues you have.
Shipping
I pride myself as a "quality" packer and realize the importance of
delivering the radio to the customer without damage. We probably all
experienced the eBay radio purchase where upon opening a single
flimsy box with marginal to no packing material and find a broken
radio we couldn't wait for. |
