Hi, Phil... There are a number of choices depending on what you mean by 'restoration'. If it's a matter of make the existing radio work, that's a simple repair job and there are quite a few who can offer this service.

If it's a matter of make it work + execute a full cosmetic restoration of the face plate, dial pointer, knobs, that's another issue as most repair shops don't do this.

You'll find several threads on the subject in the archives with inputs from different members who've used different services and their opinions (both good and bad) based on what they got for what they spent.

If you're just looking for cosmetics Long Island sells a kit that contains a new bezel and lens as well as push buttons. That with a new set of kanobbies make it look brand new.

You could do it yourself.

Phil,

Once your get it out, you'll realize what a simple instrument it is. Most of the cosmetic parts are readily available. Some you can re-finish yourself.

If it is in the electronics, you might have to dig, but parts are available if you are handy with a soldering gun. If not, pull it out and maybe call D&M Restorations (see the Driveline).

But it makes a good project.
