 |
|
Hi all,
I did a quick search but didn't see anything current in regards to someone who rebuilds the Big M radio. I have one out of my 56 that I'd like to get working again. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Im conversing with Mark about a rebuild, thanks for the reply, looks like he knows what he's doing from the pics I saw. Anyone recommend a reliable 12v-6v converter for the radio power?

There are people in the California Historical Radio Society that can repair old car radios. Check out their web site. They have a list of members that repair all sorts of radios.

I do have a good supply of Big M radios at this time. PM me if you don't find what you need in the classifieds.
Thx,
