I recently had my AM tube type radio from my 1950 Oldsmobile repaired by a
real professional. Bob Comtois of Northeast Vintage Automobile Radio Repair
located in Chelmsford, MA is a super guy to deal with. He does radio,
table top, and console radio repairs and stands by his work. His rates are
very reasonable and you can contact him at: 978-259-3293 (9:00 am to 9:00 pm)
or at NVARadio@COMCAST.NET

I mailed him my radio from NW Florida and had it back in about one week
fulled checked out and repaired. Bob also installed a plug in whereas I
can plug in a portable FM and CD player which will play through the AM radio.

Very timely post, since I have a couple of tabletop tube radios that could stand a looking at. Take a tube component to anybody here, they look at you like you just arrived from Mars...

Yup- another hobby. Zenith and Philco tube radio sets, and old tube stereo components.

Bob got into the business when he couldn't find someone to fix the radio
in his 1949 Desoto. He set about to learn the business and knew someone
that still sold tubes, etc.

I could not be more pleased with the work and follow-up he did with me.
Too bad we don't have more guys like him in business.

Same things could be said for Alan Kriss. He's done 2 radios for me now. Outstanding work at a very fair price, plus he'll talk shop with you as long as you like......Bob

I believe Alan Kriss also services Autronic Eye/ Guidematic units.

Yes he does, also speedometers, clocks, power window/seat switches, and prob a few other things I don't know about. His turn around time isn't the quickest but his attention to detail is top shelf. He doesn't just "fix" the item, I swear he details it too. He is also fun to just chat with, I like him...........Bob

Bob,

Can you share Alan Kriss' contact information with us? I have a clock that needs
repair.

Allan J. Kriss, 570-376-3942

do we have a list of what he does and price ranges?

Thanks again,

The transistor does not sound as good as the tube.
I have a 1957 Magnificent Magnavox Hi-Fi in my garage that sounds fantastic!!

I recently bought a Automatic Radio 8 track and a Craig Cassette player on e-bay for next to nothing. Both are brand new. They sound superior to my new Sony CD player/Audiobaun amp!

I want to pick up a 59/60/61 tube AM radio for my 64 Pontiac.

The weak link in the video is my cameras modern digital sound. Digital sound pails in compassion to analog.

Don't know that Alan publishes a price list. Give him a call, he is very easy to deal with, his work is top shelf and his prices way reasonable........Bob
