Part of my work in radio restoration
I've been caught by the idea of radio restoration when I received a vintage one from my grandad. In the last 2 years, I improved my skills and this work is a passion now. As you can see I managed to restore different radios, with different cases material (wood, bakelite) and form several countries (UK, Germany, France and Russia). Along the time, I had a few challenges with the lacquer type and the way of painting and their functionality systems, because all of my radios are working in perfect condition and I can listen quality vintage music in my house.
I'm learning every day new tricks and I'm planning to apply them for my next 10 British radios that I have to restore (several Bush, Ultra, Pilot). |

Re: Part of my work in radio restoration
Welcome to the forum! Wonderful to see the work you have done to restore your radios - and also interesting to see some European radio models which we do not know here in Britain.
