Anyone have any pointers to a good repair shop for an early 70's Becker
radio? I'm getting tired of mentally replaying Fresh Air interviews
and "This American Life" episodes. (Flying or Invisibility -- which
would you choose?)

Thanks,
Jeff

Becker in New Jersey overhaul them to as new condition. They love the old
ones and really do make them good as new.

Oh, sorry "Harmann/Becker".

Is Jaime still there?

Flying.

I don't know if he is still going, and I would guess probably not, but
there was a guy who did Becker and Blaupunkt transistor rebuilds named
Willie Wilkes. He used to be in Brisbane (Brisbin?) , Pennsylvania. He
rebuilt one of each for me brilliantly about five years ago. Nice, nice
man. Sorry that I can't be of more help, and if he is still going he
used to advertise periodically in Hemmings Motor News. Best 'O Luck.
