Does anyone know who might repair the Automatic radio from years ago? I am up to three that no longer work and was hoping to fix them rather than pitch them. Thanks

Try this guy Bob@vintage-electronics.net. I have had him repair older car units for me. Send him an E-mail and tell him what you got. He does respond usually withen the next day. And he is reasonable, Regards, Dennis

Contact Howard Sams Company for a service manual. If your model does not come up on the internet search, it's probably worth calling them.

Are these the 6 volt tube type? Partial solid state electronics in 12 volt radios came in about 1958 and by 1963, the changeover was complete. For the tube type, ask at flea market about collectors of old radios and phonographs from the 1940's. If the old tube type, the vibrator and the OZ4 tube are the most likely components to fail. A sharp technician could use solid state devices to replace the OZ4, which is a full wave rectifier.

one looks to be 6 volt or 12 with a switch but I can't determine which way to put the switch. The other operates on either pos or neg ground by moving a switch on the back. both seem to buzz under power but no longer receive any stations. I would like to hear from anyone who has knowledge of these radios and/or a source for any manuals if they are out there somewhere.

Don't forget a car type antenna if they're car type radios. Is the speaker seperate or built in? If tube type, are all the tubes lite? Does the noise level increase as the volume control is turned up? Check for corrosion on the tube pins and sockets. Try to find a tester for the tubes.

They were commonly sold here by tractor dealers. I think the Fleet stores sold them under other names. I'd check with dealers first for a repair source. Fleet stores usually aren't much when it comes to repairing beyond the 30/30 warranty (30 feet, 30 seconds).
