Payment in full....
Here's what I'm asking $75 for labor (excludes
repairs)+parts+shipping. I will also consider parts that I want as a trade or
parts+cash. Parts I think will be around $40 but I'm NOT sure.
Shipping....
Return shipping I really haven't thought that much
on.
If there is a way to COD the return shipping, I
will probably do that. Now if you want insurance on your package or whatever
else, include that with the payment. I will send your radio back with the same
box and packing material you send it with. If you don't pack it well, I WON'T be
responsible for damages in shipping to or from you. Remember there will be more
pieces coming back with your radio so, make sure there's a little extra
room.
Another thing, I don't do cosmetic restoration. I
can polish/clean the knobs,buttons,dial but I'd rather not get into it, that
would be extra. Also, if you spent alot of money on rechroming the
bezel(s),knobs etc., got your dial silk-screened,or lens replaced and are
worried about it being scratch DON'T send it. I will take the utmost,humanly
possible care in modifying your radio but if you feel worried don't send it with
the radio.
Recommendations....
I recommend that you install the switch under the
dash and buy a Portable CD car mount and install the portable on the mount and
mount everything to the transmission tunnel. The mount has an anti shock
mechanism and will increase the life of the CD player. If you want you can
"hide" everything in your glove box but on a hard bump your portable may
skip.
If you need your factory speaker reconed I use
these folks, they always do a great job....SRS enterprises 1839 N. circle
dr. Colorado Springs, CO 80909. When you send your speaker in insist on a 3.2
ohm voice coil (which most FL radios used), and a polypropylene coating
(increases cone life/durability.)
Just a final note.....
I am very familiar with the '57-'61 radios but not
the '55-'56. I know that the '55's use +6 volt plus a vibrator type power
supply. Since most things are 12volt, the power supplies for your CD that I will
install in the radio are easy to get. The '55's I am designing a small circuit
for now and should be able to do them. The 56's since they don't have a
transistor type output stage will be a little (but not that much) new to me. I
should be able to do these as well.
Well, I think I covered EVERYTHING but I probably
missed something. Whoever's interested will be put on a waiting list first come,
first serve. Please re-notify me after reading this if you are still interested.
Take Care and talk to you all later.
