ANTIQUE RADIOS: RESTORATION AND PRICE GUIDE
by David and Betty Johnson, Radnor, PA, 1982.
Here is a great book for vintage radio enthusiasts, not only a collector’s guide but a practical handbook for repair and restoration.  “This unique guide teaches collector-hobbyists how to choose the best candidates for restoration, acquire the proper tools, trouble-shoot, analyze, and make needed repairs.”  It also includes information on sources for old parts and diagrams plus a price guide to nearly 1,000 antique radios.  Attention is given to repairs of cabinetry as well as electronics (includes index of tube types).  There are 5 appendices, each one full of important information for collectors.  A glossary and index are included.  If this book does not allow you to solve all the problems, it will direct you to sources which can.  It will make a most welcome addition to the reference library of collectors and restorers of antique radios.
