WWII RADIO
WWII Radio Restoration

One ‘new’ hobby I have taken on is the ‘art’ of radio restoration. I have always been interested in electricity and electronics. I can remember at an early age taking the back off my parent’s TV set and seeing how it worked, and pulling all the tubes out, and getting them back in the right places. In my military collection over the past 20 years, I have had some nice WWII-era radios. They looked nice, made a good exhibit, but never really worked. So I decided to take a short “class” from a local man who offers his services to teach noobs like me. I spent the day with him restoring an old Philco Radio I picked up on Craigslist. One radio I had always wanted was the SCR-284. Just seemed to be the right radio for me. It could be vehicle-mounted, used in the field, or as a command radio. So I decided this would be my winter hobby, repairing and restoring old radios.
I am going to Document the Radios I have restored, or am working on here. I’ll have links to the ones I have pages for if the radio is listed, I own it, but either have not worked on it yet or have not added it to the website.
