I have been repairing antique radios for over 25 years. I have many repair books & have also learned through trial and mistakes. I only wish I had watched this video 25 years ago. It would have saved me alot time & wondering what do I to. The trouble shooting procedure steps is excellent & the technical level easy to understand for someone who has never attempted old radio repair. I wanted to see his cabinet finishing tips and I liked the presentation so much I just rented video #4 in this series. Many of the internet links & Jeff shows at the end of the video are still on line. I have used the sites for years & recommend checking them out. Watch this video & you will be able to confidently repair most old radios if you follow Jeff's steps.
