Refurbished Antique Stereos in Yelm, WA
TAKING A TOUCH OF THE PAST WITH THE MUSIC OF TODAY
The Radios
In the 1940s, classic radios were in every home where people depended on them for news, music, and pretty much everything else. Bring a piece of this history into your home with one of our refurbished antique stereos from Yelm, WA.
STEP ONE
When I first get the radios they look like this, sometimes worse, they are dirty, scratched, been home for mice and insects, you get the picture.
STEP TWO
The next step for these radios is to be stripped down, old equipment (if any) removed, cleaned, they are sanded down, cleaned again, stained, and then clear coated. New fabric is installed along with a new face plate. (Laser cut blue)
STEP THREE
The final step is to install new equipment. A new amplifier is placed in the cabinet, along with a new bass speaker. There is a connection for an iPod, also each radio comes equipped with a turntable and antique table to set it on. Speakers are also included. (But you can always add more)

Radio Transformation!
This was one of the first radios to arrive here. It was found in a High School and had been abused and in some eyes ready for the junkyard.
The tear down and stripping of the cabinet begins. Most of these are pretty dirty inside and outside. Most of the original screws are replaced and any cracks and damaged boards are repaired.
The cabinet is stripped down further and sanding is done, as well as filling in any cracks or holes acquired in the wood over the years.
The inside of the cabinet also is sanded and cleaned. Boards are replaced and the cabinet is sealed.
The cabinet is completely stained and sealed with a dark stain and clear coat.
The original cloth from the 1940's is replaced with new material where a new Bass speaker will be mounted behind it.
The Receiver, CD Player, and new Bass speaker installed in the cabinet. (Back View)
This show the front view of the radio with electronics. This particular model had a pre-amp and mixer installed, along with the CD player. All radios have a laser cut front plate that fits around the Receiver and on most models CD player. The laser cut plate plates are custom fitted and show no rough edges that you would get with something saw cut.
