This part of the website is the place where we can ask you for any bits and pieces we need to complete radio restoration projects.
Do we buy radios ? Yes we do of course. If you have items similar to what you have seen on this website for sale then do please get in touch. We don't mind travelling if the trip is going to be worthwhile, even as far away as France or Germany.
We don't buy radiogram's of any kind however, due to space restraints and the lack of interest in this sort of thing. We certainly do buy console radios, even the really weird Murphy contraptions!

Mike Phelan is looking for the following parts to complete his restoration of a Ferguson 378AC. If you have any of these bits spare he would be grateful if you could get in touch. Click his name to open an email window. (1/11/04 UK)
All for Ferguson 378AC. but I am sure other models from ca 1936 would be same:
Volume knob (raised writing) Both tuning knobs Valve screening can for 6D6 etc 3 "top hats" for valve screening cans
This is a Philips B7X44A, as you can see the dial glass is smashed. Gary Kershaw who lives in Canada is more than willing to pay for a replacement glass and the airmail postage. (27/9/04 CAN)
Nick Ebsworth is looking for a copy of "The Pegasus Book of Radio Experiments" by the well known Practical Wireless author F.G. Rayer. This book got Nick started in electronics many years ago and he'd really like to get another copy.
Bits we need at the moment. Willing to pay for them!
A set of ivory white knobs for an Alba C112 needed. Not much hope I know but fingers crossed !
Back panel wanted for a Philips 834A. Or if someone could let me borrow one for a few days I'll make up a reproduction.
