I wonder if anyone out there can recommend a service that repairs or rebuilds original AM radios. I have a 56 Victoria and want to keep it original. Being an old timer, I usually listen to AM talk radio only or country and can remember how the old radios used to pick up really far away stations. A rebuilt original will suit me just fine.
