Radio Repairs

PostPost by: tonyabacus » Mon Oct 11, 2021 12:31 pm

Does anyone have contacts in the South West UK for radio repairs, I have a couple of Turnalocks that need overhaul and hopefully minor repairs, I also have the manufacturers wiring diagrams and spec sheets. Seems most of the old repair guys have vanished and I have been quoted nearly three figure sum locally just to have a look at them by a car radio/media business. Got quotes from some of the nationally advertised firms but again very expensive, when I think someone perhaps even an amateur radio guy with the factory info I have could sort them out.

I am not concerned too much about their outward appearance as I can probably undertake that, but need to get them working first, any help grateful

I'd go looking for the local ham radio clubs as they'd know the people who can still do this type repair.
And being mostly older guys they'd know what an "Elan" was, and probably be more interested in that than your radio !

Tony,

Eric Capron of Radio Rescue. He is in the Manchester area. He does not do cosmetic work, but my Turnolock now works.

Hope this helps,
