send it to Bill in florida

@ Radio Doc ([email protected])

he is professional, does a great job and fixed mistakes on my blaupunkt made from a former repair.

What I liked is he checked all circuits and replaced failing components instead of just making it work. My experience with others is they fix the problem but dont check out the whole radio resulting in a repair again in 2 years.

I have used Wilford Wilkes in past, but have had better service, clear communication about problems, and committment to detail from Radio Doc.

Thanks for the reply. I've removed the radio and amp but still haven't pulled the trigger and sent it out just yet. Thanks for the input!

Very true, I have heard this same thing from a guy who does Sapphire radio repairs as well.
