The owner pasted away last December, and not converting/manufacturing transistor radios using your vintage radio controller -- I have one. I don't think they're coming back -- anyone have reference to another like vendor plz?
Tks

Sent mine to Ricks Radio Conversions in Va Beach April last year. I haven’t gotten it back yet, he said it might be This Summer before I get it back. He told me up front that he was severely backlogged and it would be a while so this was expected. At that time I also talked to Turnswitch and he was backed up and would not take in any more work. They done the radio for my 39 Zephyr and done a great job. These guys are getting fewer and fewer and the ones that’s doing it are backed up.

Look at Ralph the Radio Guy. He did a conversion for me quickly and at a reasonable cost.

This company completely resto'd my '68 Mustang am fm radio(10+- years back. )

EXCELLENT !EXCELLLENT! COMPANY & PEOPLE!

You will enjoy doing business with them. Super courteous. None better! Did it in ten days & returned it! $475 prepaid(they explained their reason for the prepaid BEFORE I sent the radio. They paid for shipping there and back! VERY TRUSTWORTHY PEOPLE. In business for years there. RADIO STILL WORKS PERFECTLY!

YES, this was what I was looking for -- his email: [email protected].
He knew the owner -- Turnswitch -- does the same service.
Thank you
