Delco signal seeker radio

Hello to all!!
Just wanting to know a little info. Now that I have my '54 patty on the road, I am doing odds and ends with the old girl. I pulled the radio from the dash. Opened up the vibrator to clean it up, and reinstalled. I can get it to come on and play a little, but would like to know who you suggest to sent it to for a little tlc. Also, what kind of shocks would you recommend. Thanks, Brian.

Hi BrianG........
There's no such thing as "a little TLC" when it comes to that radio. I have a 51 and a 53 Packard both with power radio antennas and the Delco signal seeking radios. I live in Vancouver WA and I see you are in the East so my recommendations for radio fixes are local in WA. However others have sent their radios to repair facilities found in Hemmings motor news, and probably in a little while someone will give you what you seek for radio repairs nearer your home. But, a good guess is $350 to $500 dollars. Also, concerning the shocks, there are cross reference charts on this forum with years of vehicles and front/rear shocks made by different suppliers that will fit your car. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Steve

Iv'e added the radio repair business near Vancouver, WA. He did a great job with the rebuild of my 55 Dodge radio and reconing the speaker. Takes CC's for payment and needed 3 to 4 weeks turn around time.

I believe there was a post confirming Harold Rushing has retired and in that post Harold had recommended Bob's Radio in Calif.http://www.bobsradio.com A long way from the east coast but then so was Harold from the west coast.
