Do it your self. Have all the tubes checked and replace all the caps. Get a Sams and ck. the voltages. Might ck the output of the tranformer open circuit to make sure the transformer is good. Generally the grid caps are bad.

You may be able to find electronics repair in the ....wait for it....Yellow Pages of a .....wait for it....phone book.
Electronics repair, phone books and yellow pages do still exist and are as relevant now as in the distant past.
I mean no disrespect. I shop local whenever possible have radios repaired at a local shop.

I sent my '47 Ford 6 volt radio to Dan at Bob's Radio and Television in Oceano, CA. Got it back and it works like a champ. Think I found his name in the V8 times, but can't remember for sure. Like you, I just wanted the original AM receptions.
