Pete Roberts' Old & Vintage Radios

Vintage radio repairs with the personal touch by an electronics engineer with nearly forty years' experience who, as a teenager throughout the 1960s, grew up with both valve and transistor technology. Service also for marine radio transceivers. I can collect and deliver small items locally, otherwise postal service a pleasure.  There's NO minimum charge and NO VAT!! Postage is at cost with no packing charges as I re-use your packing materials.  This is a specialist service - I don't handle TVs, VCRs or any other electrical goods.  Just radio (including '70s radio/cassettes)!  Don't forget, today's disposable consumer electronics contribute heavily to the mountain of toxic waste that eventually ends up in landfill,  squandering scarce natural resources.  Your older 60s and 70s equipment was made better, and works better than contemporary gear.  Save money, help save the environment and:

 Make that Sad Old Thing a Happy Old Thing!
Don't throw it out, get it fixed!!

Write-ups of all my repairs are now submitted to the UK's all-new electronics magazine Technology@Home

Situated in Runcorn, Cheshire, UK,  just a few miles down the Mersey from Beatle City - Liverpool.

I'm not always able to take landline calls so, much as I dislike them I'll have to start carrying my new mobile: 07794 329 912  Kindly note that I do not sell radios, cannot undertake valuations of equipment , supply service information or cosmetic parts for specific models unless listed on my parts pages.   Thanks!  

  Please read my "Mission Statement". 

Transistor  Radio repair and refurbishment.

Old Fifties and Sixties transistor sets most welcome: Perdio, PAM, Cossor, Bush, Philips, Stella, Pye, Decca, KB, Masteradio, Fidelity etc.  together with imported models.  Also prestige marques Sony, Roberts, Hacker, Grundig, Dynatron, Bang & Olufsen and Tandberg.

Don't forget, even that old Hong-Kong or Japanese pocket set languishing in the bottom draw is now becoming highly collectable and well worth repairing.

Got an ICF-SW1 making odd noises, or just not working?  Cost of repair is £40 + £3 return post.  This includes the cost all the standard small parts required together with a pair of new alkaline AA cells.  In the unusual event of any special parts being needed these would be extra.

Vintage car radios only (not modern digital units) repaired and restored as closely as possible to original specs. Valve and transistor, both 6v and 12v. I don't convert to FM, but in most cases a discrete socket can be fitted to plug in an external FM or DAB radio, or MP3 player.

 Marine VHF radio service including vintage and obsolete equipment

Vintage Radio Spares  

Polyester, polypropylene, ceramic & silver mica caps up to 3kV. Electrolytics up to 450V.  Carbon & metal film resistors.  Standard "volume control" carbon potentiometers, Ge and Si semis, universal valve output transformer & much more.
