The prices in the engine have been calculated at the labour rate at £35 per hour plus the expected cost of parts. When checking the prices please remember vintage radio restoration, when done properly, is a skilled and time-consuming occupation and there are many situations where parts are unobtainable but have to be reproduced like new. Each job becomes a 'project' and the occupation is more akin to the painstaking restoration of a classic car rather than the straight fault-rectification involved in tv or video servicing.

The time allocated for a job is notional only and is regularly exceeded, for which no extra charge is made. Sometimes sorting a particularly awkward fault can take days - and service information is often unavailable too. A good restorer must be resourceful, patient and dedicated !  But there is no alternative. The job must be done properly if the performance of the set is not to disappoint and the set also made safe and reliable.

This pricing engine is intended to speed up the estimating process and enable all prospective customers to see exactly what's involved before making any commitment. In return, you will receive professional restoration services of the finest standard, all backed by our unique lifetime guarantee. And remember, if you choose - you can now pay for your restoration securely online, using your credit card.

You're welcome to play with this engine, online or offline.  It requires that your computer browser supports Frames and JavaScript. When you arrive there, don't forget to scroll down the page to see all the options.

Only click once in each section or the price will be needlessly inflated !

The term 'RADIO' below includes both table and console types. If you're unsure about anything (particularly when filling in the set's 'condition') don't worry - an email to us will rapidly sort out any queries. The prices are intended to be a useful guide. If we don't agree with your figure when we see the set we'll say so, tell you why, and nothing will go forward until we're all agreed on what's fair. And remember, using our pricing engine or submitting our application form does not commit you to anything.

Well, thanks for reading this far. On a final note, be sure to study our terms of business when you're ready to go ahead.
