Joe Rebar's Radio Attic Testimonials

• The radio arrived fast. I opened the box, just to find how well packaged the radio was! I believe there was NO Possibility for the radio to arrive damaged! When I finally unearthed the radio from the amazing packaging, me and my mom were both amazed how the radio looked. It was even better in person! I tested it, and picked up a good amount of stations, and when presented to my dad, he fell in love with it! He said it was "his Treasure!" Thank you so much for the good experience!

• I just got home from work, opened up your package, and found a most beautiful 1947 Admiral radio inside. I’ve plugged it in and also find that not only is its exterior beautiful but also its inside workings. From here in Cleveland, OH, I’m easily picking up KDKA 1020 out of Pittsburgh as well as WSM 650 from Nashville. The sound is outstanding. I bet this set works better than when it came out of the factory. All of your testimonials ring 100% true. You do such great work and it’s much appreciated by me...Just fantastic stuff, Joe! -- Todd

• Joe, I just wanted to confirm that I received the Majestic radio. It is in wonderful condition and plays very well. -- Peter, D.V.M.

• You have done a really beautiful job in restoration [of my Emerson DW330A].  I think you have the best and prettiest radios on the Radio Attic site by far. It's playing very well on all stations and it's very clean and looking like new. Thanks again for everything and I will be enjoying my new/old radio for many years I'm sure.

• The GE 100 just arrived ( that was quick), and it is in really beautiful condition.  The reception is clear, crisp and powerful.  The Cosmetics and performance are excellent as described, so I'm very satisfied all around.  Great packing as well, it would have taken a lot to cause any harm to this set. -- Dave

• Joe, received the radio yesterday and it's beautiful... even better than the photos.  Thanks for the careful packaging... arrived safely and plays great. -- Mark

Many thanks for your excellent work and packing job. -- Dan/Chatham, Ontario

• I purchased a Zenith 500 and Philco radio from Joe. He goes the extra mile to make sure what he sells performs like it should. Joe completely goes thru the electronics so the radio plays for years to come. And he wants his customers happy and he accepts returns for a full refund. I couldn't be happier and plan more purchases in the future. -- Bob, Sacramento, CA

• The Zenith L-505 was delivered in good shape. I can not believe the condition of that case! Pictures hide a lot and I knew it was nice, but this thing is just cherry. I mean there should at least be a nick or chip. Unbelievable, especially since this is a portable. Usually at least those speaker grills get dented. Well, I don't know where you got it at, but as far as I am concerned I now have the nicest one that exists and it would have to be proven to me otherwise. Many thanks. -- Terry, Ohio

• I received the Coronado and Musicaire radios and they are above expectations! Thank you! -- Peter, New Jersey

• I received the Arvin 950-T2 radio yesterday. I am very pleased. The radio looks better than in your photos. It sounds good and sits proudly on my bookcase. I could not believe how well it was packaged. -- Stephanie, Michigan

• A fine radio Joe! "Fast delivery, carefully packaged, mint condition, superb sound" -- Dr. Ken, Illinois

• My beautiful Airline radio arrived in its new home in the UK. The radio fully restored by Joe looks as if it was built yesterday. It took a few weeks to arrive in the UK but arrived in perfect condition thanks to the comprehensive packaging and delivery information. Switching on for the first time, using my newly purchased step down transformer (reduce UK voltage to US 110-120) the sound was fantastic picking up several music and voice am stations. I can not believe this radio is over 70 years old. Knowing that Joe's restoration work was undertaken with the same meticulous attention to detail as the delivery packaging this radio will easily last another 70 years. Being a novice to vintage radios Joe was quick to respond to my questions and he obviously has tremendous knowledge and experience. Many thanks Joe. If any UK customers have any concerns suggest they contact me. -- Roger Morgan UK

• The Admiral arrived today. It is so gorgeous I can't take my eyes off it. My only regret is that I didn't buy it for myself. Thanks for packing it so well! -- Mary Ellen, Santa Fe

• Joe... I got my 2 radios today. They are more than I could have ever expected. They work perfectly and the appearance is as good as new. And delivery and service have been exceptional. I look forward to purchasing other vintage radios from you. Tom P. Missouri

• The Admiral 7T10 is a gem! Nicely restored, great sound, beautiful to look at. Arrived promptly, in perfect condition. Excellent service!! Thanks, Joe! -- NM, Jersey City, NJ

• I am pleased to be added to the long list of customers who appreciate the craftsmanship and care Joe puts into the restoration of his radios. When I inquired about a radio, he sent additional pictures of the chassis, top and bottom. I could see exactly what I was buying. It looks great and plays very well. It was expertly wrapped for shipment. I give him an A+ -- Phil/Hanover, PA

• I bought two radios from rebar radios, they came well packed, looked better than the pictures and work perfectly. I will buy other radios from Joe. -- Tom/Naperville, IL

• I am extremely happy with the radio I purchased from Joseph. It looks great and plays even better! It shipped fast and was packed with the utmost care. I got to speak to Joe a couple of times on the phone before making my purchase and he was friendly and very knowledgeable. If you want a great radio at a fair price.... this is your place! --Steve Caccavale/Arlington, Texas

• I am extremely satisfied with the radios I have purchased from Joe. From the way he perfectly packs the radios for shipping to ensure they arrive to your door with zero issues to his amazing electronic restoration, he is by far one of the best restorer/technician you'll ever find. Solid! Knowing that the radio is electronically safe to operate is important to me when giving a radio as a gift to a non-collector. I purchased one of Joe's radios for a birthday present and my friend couldn't be happier. I am also happy to report that my friend found a perfect place to display the small 1950s RCA radio by her kitchen and has been playing it all the time. As gifts or to display, Joe Rebar's restored radios will bring back nostalgia from the great radio days. And as part of a collection, Joe's radios are definitely keepers! -- Miguel/NY

• The parcel with Hitachi TH-831 Pocket Transistor, arrived today! I was surprised and very happy! Everything arrived in perfect order! The radio is wonderful! My congratulations. -- Giuliano/Firenze, Italy

• The radio is at home (ULTRAFAST!!). It is in PERFECT CONDITIONS, let me congratulate you for the careful packaging, it is perfect. Unfortunately, few sellers are so effective when sending an article, and I have received broken radios on several occasions. The radio is VERY NICE and WORKS VERY WELL, and I am very satisfied with the purchase. -- Jose/Madrid, Spain

• The Super Jet F-125 Fighter arrived in Atlanta 'safe & sound!' The radio picked up local stations on the first 'power-up'; loud and clear. A brand new 9V battery with a brand new spare - - Thanks ! The double boxing is appreciated along with the quality wrapping & peanuts - - A nice job! -- Robert, Atlanta

• "What I thought I was ordering was exactly what I received. And it was delivered to me quickly and well packaged. I definitely will be buying more radios from Joe. His prices are fair and his radios are superior." -- Nick W., Oklahoma

• To all who read these lines; I have bought many vintage radios from various sources through the years with, more or less satisfaction. I place Joseph F. Rebar in a special category from all points of view; he is an Electronic Technician with decades of experience; he goes all the way with his work-no cutting corners. His double boxed packaging insures that you will receive your radio in perfect condition. He offers seldom seen vintage radios at reasonable prices. In a nut shell, a man who really knows what he is doing; expect total satisfaction. -- Oliver Loeb, Neuchatel, Switzerland

• I just opened the Westinghouse portable and found it just as advertised and just as beautiful. Thanks for wrapping it so well. -- Dave, CT

• Joe, your restoration of the Truetone is amazing. The Bakelite case has a great shine. The chassis looks like it came from the factory. The re-cap is first-rate.  Sixty-eight years old and the radio looks and functions like new! Thanks Joe. -- Patrick S., Houston, Texas

• Motorola XP36GU Concept 90 - I saw it, I liked it, I bought it, I received exactly what I had expected: very well restored ... and packaged (long way to Russia). I adore people who do things well and love what they are doing. Joe, many thanks!!! - Alexei Balashov, Moscow, Russia

• My family has been purchasing radios from Joe for years now. He has provided us with collectibles that are superior in condition and performance! I live in Fairfax, surrounded by higher elevation. My cell phone will not work here. The radios we buy from Joe, and ONLY the radios we buy from Joe play beautifully from everywhere in the house! All of my radios are showroom quality & tuned perfectly. They arrived here that way! Thanks again Joe! -- The Lantis, Oster & James gang, Fairfax, CA

• I received the two transistor radios and I was impressed with the condition of those. They play great and as always you deliver quality. -- Marvin B., Louisiana

• There were 3 foreign old transistor radio in my collection, but now, thanks to Joe I have 7! I purchased 4 radios from Joe two weeks ago and these old radios work perfectly! One of them is Motorola XP42EE Pocket Transistor especially valuable for me, because I worked for Motorola last 11 years! This radio will remind of these years… And simultaneously, it will remind of my first steps in radio electronics as radio-amateur designer in mid 60s. I will highly recommend Joe to my friends. -- Vladimir Vladimiro, Moscow, Russia

• The two transistor radios arrived (OMGS and Juliette).  As promised - the Juliette is clearly brand new and the OMGS hardly used.  The reception on both is great and I am really happy to add them to my collection.  As I look at your attic page, there are a few more that are calling my name. -- Joe T/NJ

• I bought a fully restored 1949 RCA from Joe. He did a fine job on the radio and packaged it very well. I was apprehensive about having it shipped to Canada, but it arrived safe and sound and very quickly (less than a week by USPS and much cheaper than FedEx). There were no problems clearing customs. I am very satisfied with the purchase and will most likely be purchasing from Joe in the future. -- Paul, Toronto, Canada.

• I bought a 1946 GE 100 radio from Joseph, and when I opened the box the first words out of my mouth was "WOW." Just like the picture on the website and it plays like a charm. Strong signal and clean clean clean. I felt like a little kid looking at a new bicycle!! (I love old radios.) Mr. Rebar's work is that of an artist in my opinion. I look at the website daily for new items that have been added. I am extremely pleased with this purchase. Then the other day in the mail I received a book "Antique Radio and Television Price Guide" from Joseph which was a very nice surprise!! Thank you for all your hard work!! It is extremely appreciated. -- Patricia from NJ

• "I've purchased many radios from Joe. I've purchased for my own collection and as gifts for others.  Joe's radios arrive on time, in exceptional condition (look just like the photos on Joe's page)...and they really dazzle! These old beauties work perfectly and make my guests insane with jealousy. Easy to contact, easy to pay and someone who goes the extra mile to guarantee satisfaction...I will buy many more radios from Joe Rebar!" -- Mike, Saugus, CA

• "It's obvious that Joe Rebar loves what he does. Right from the beginning of a transaction, Joe is happy to answer questions about individual radios or email additional photographs of radios you are interested in. More importantly, Joe is accomplished at what he does. My example of a Rebar restoration, a 1951 General Electric 410, has been an extremely stable performer with no fading of volume or drifting of tuning. Lastly, Joe knows how to pack and ship an antique radio, as mine arrived safely double-boxed and reinforced with peanuts and foam. Thanks, Joe!" -- John P./New Market, MD

• "My vintage radio arrived with your expert packaging. My 1941 Zenith portable plays like new and looks fantastic. Even the Zenith "Wavemagnet" antenna looks like new. Your radios are the finest I've seen. Keep up the great work." -- Bob B./Cherry Hill NJ

• I have purchased a few radios from various sellers that were so-so, then I purchased one from Joe and needless to say I only purchase from Joe now. I am very happy from
  purchasing to receiving to playing all the radios. Keep up the good work. We appreciate you. -- Martha L., San Anselmo, CA

• I'm new to vintage radio collecting and decided to buy my first radio from Joe. My first surprise was the effort Joe went to package the radio so it would be received in good shape. It was packed so it would survive just about anything. The radio arrived safely and promptly with double boxes, packing peanuts, bubble wrap and protective cardboard over the front glass. Most impressive was the radio itself, a GE 221 AM/SW, a real beauty. Joe labeled all knobs and antenna wire. He even gave me instructions on keeping the case looking great. The radio exceeded my expectations in sound and appearance; it looks like it just came from the GE factory back in 1946. I'll be a loyal customer of Joe for a long time. Thanks Joe, for your professionalism and expertise. -- Bob B., Cherry Hill, NJ

• As someone who has purchased some 23 radios from Mr. Joseph Rebar I can attest to the beauty and performance that is true for every radio I've bought from him. Joe is true to his word, the radios in person look just like they do on his web page and they sound awesome. In my kitchen I am listening to an Emerson 547, (1947) model I bought from Joe and in our bedroom we listen to a Motorola 57X11, (1947). I often play different radios that I have on display throughout my home. Joseph Rebar is a man of his word and the radios he sells are as good as any you can find. -- Roger, California

• Thank you for a great radio. I was worried its bakelite cabinet might not survive shipping, but after picking it up from the post office I realized I need not have worried. The radio was double boxed (box within a box). Each box padded and so well packed I knew there wouldn't be any damage.  I wanted a radio that had good reception, this was a player! I dialed through the AM broadcast band and stations came in loud and clear! Later that evening I scrolled across the two Shortwave bands this radio covered. I crossed my fingers and hoped that without a long shortwave antenna I could pick up something, anything really. Wow what a pleasant surprise when I was able to tune in WWV at 5mhz. All in all I picked up a dozen stations between 5mhz and 10mhz! Incredible as the only antenna was the coiled up wire fastened to the back of the radio! I hadn't even unwound the antenna!  Thanks for a great radio! -- Greg R, San Jose

• Just received a 1949 RCA radio from Joe and after working my way through the outer box, the foam peanuts, the inner box, the shredded paper, the corrugated cardboard and the bubble wrap - there it was in all its shining glory. Plugged it in and she worked perfectly, picking up all the local stations. It is a gift for my brother who had a radio just like it when we were boys, except I don't remember my brother's radio ever looking nearly as good as the one Joe restored. If you are ever looking for a shot of nostalgia, I highly recommend Joe's radios. Who knows, maybe yours will pick up the Lone Ranger like ours used to. -- Alan Barr, Austin, Texas

• Just wanted to say how very pleased I am with my radio. It looks great and sounds great too. The time and effort that you put into wrapping the radio to make sure that it was delivered without any problems and also receiving my radio without delay is a testament to your good character. I was also very impressed that you enclosed a paper stating every detail that you personally did to the radio and was reassured not to hesitate to notify you if a problem did occur. I look forward to enjoying my radio for years to come. Thanks again. -- Juanita, S. Dartmouth, MA

• Joseph F. Rebar delivers what he promises.  I have now purchased twelve radios from Mr. Rebar of various years and types.  From the late '30s to the '60s, each and every purchase has been exactly what you see and read on Mr. Rebar's web site.  Delivery is fast, well packaged, and his promise always stands.  He communicates making sure the buyer is satisfied and happy with the purchase.  Mr. Joseph F. Rebar, a man of his word and a person of character. -- Roger E. Adams, San Jose, CA

• When I saw the (RCA 65X1) I was speechless. Its condition clearly exceeded my expectations. Fantastic! What a beauty! The radio plays very nicely, the sound is open and mellow. "Golden Throat," no exaggeration. The cap and volume control rotate absolutely silky and there is zero static in the control to hear. Not easy to achieve with such a vintage radio. The frequency and dial pointer accuracy is excellent. I love it when radios have exact dials. Thank you so very much for this wonderful business experience. I will highly recommend you to my friends. -- Ralph, Germany

• Very recently I presented Joe with a 1948 Westinghouse radio/record changer that was last played about 35 years ago. Given the deteriorated condition of the power cord and dust accumulation on the electronics, I thought it unsafe to use. Joe brought it back to life in no time at all. He began the restoration process with a realistic preview of his test and evaluation process and a list of the most likely parts that would need replacement. He kept me informed about his progress with photos and narrative. In about two weeks I had the Westinghouse plugged in and playing in my family room. It sounds great! I'm sure it sounds like a brand new unit just off Westinghouse's Sunbury, PA assembly line in 1948. Joe is not only a gifted electronics technician, he is an honorable man who can be trusted to give full value to his customers.  Major General John Stevens. U.S. Army, Retired, State College, PA

• I just got my 5th radio from Joe Rebar. All I can say is he does a super job on these radios. This radio looks better than new. They don't come any better than Joe. You are at the top of the list. If you haven't gotten a radio from Joe you are missing out. They don't make guys  like him any more. It sure is great to do business with people like Joe. Another five star. -- Bob Lantis, San Anselmo, CA

• I purchased my first radio from Joe some time ago. I had only purchased one other old radio at that time from a guy in MO. At the time I was learning/teaching myself to restore old radios as a hobby. Joe's radio was restored very well. I liked the fact that he did all the work himself as many other people have 'techs' that do the electric work for them'. Well, I have since purchased four radios from Joe and EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE RESTORED TO EXCELLENT CONDITION. Joe's workmanship is outstanding and this is very evident if you look at the chassis. All caps and resistors are neatly replaced in 'an original equipment' fashion. Also, as I have restored radios myself I have asked Joe questions from time to time. He has been a ready willing, and excellent mentor to me in this respect. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a radio from Joe and highly recommend that you consider his radios and to have no apprehension in purchasing a radio from Joe. -- Bert Kolesar, Richmond, Virginia

• The GE 423 is everything I hoped for and more. What a superb restoration you've performed on this lovely vintage radio. Inside and out, the radio is well-nigh perfect, as new or better! Ordinarily, I buy inexpensive radios on eBay, do my own case restoration (and clock work when I buy clock radios), and have the electronic restoration done by an expert. Your reasonable prices and the high quality of your work may well cause me to re-think my purchasing strategy. Please do keep me on your e-mail list. -- Michael G., Maxwell, Iowa

• I would certainly recommend the "Rebar Attic" as a fine place to obtain a vintage radio that plays like a top. Mr. Rebar is easy to work with and provided me with a great set that exceeded my expectations. His radio played great right out of the box and the case was as shiny as it was when it was new. I have many RCA radios in my collection and the set that I bought from Joseph is a fine addition to my collection. I would suggest anyone looking for a restored vintage radio start looking in Josephs' "attic." -- P. Buresh, Needham, MA
