PERSONNEL

Dick (that’s me) is a long time radio enthusiast.  I graduated from SMU with an Electrical Engineering Degree. I first got interested in radio while in high school and received my Ham Radio operator’s license in 1953. My first engineering job after graduating from college was designing transistor radios for a major semiconductor manufacturer.  That job involved taking many trips with radios I designed to nearly all of the "Big Name" radio manufacturers of the 1950's and 60's to assist them in transitioning from vacuum tubes to transistors. I have been involved in radio design and repair since the late 1950’s.

Fred, our cabinet refinishing specialist worked for over 20 years in the automotive industry painting and refinishing luxury and classical cars where blemish free, high quality work is an absolute must.  Fred brought with him his many tricks of the trade that can only be learned by doing when he began refinishing antique radio cabinets over 10 years ago.  Fred’s unique ability to take an old trashed cabinet and rebuild, strip and refinish it to look “Show Room Floor” new is unequaled in the industry.  Fred is a proud veteran having served eleven years in the service of our great country.

Our electrical repairs and restoration are done by Dick and all of our cabinet restoration and refinishing work is done by Fred.  We guarantee you will be more than happy with our work.

Remember to visit our “RESTORED RADIOS” page.  There you will find pictures of some of the radios we have restored.  There are many BEFORE, DURING and AFTER pictures that illustrate our full range of services. There are also many pictures showing only the finished appearance of some of the radios we have restored.
