[MRCA] WW2 Radio Prices

[Mike Feher]

Yes, sadly it is not. However it is expected. That is not to say that someone with no license or a Novice license cannot do it. It is not rocket science. 73 – Mike

Well, different strokes…  If you only want something done right the first time, sometimes it pays to send a problem to someone who already knows what “right” is for that particular widget.  Plus being able to solder, trouble-shoot and repair vintage military radio equipment very much is NOT a requirement for holding an Extra class license.

Interesting. Here you are an Extra class amateur and needs to send a WWII radio to a shop to have it fixed. Unbelievable – 73 – Mike

The military vehicle people I’ve dealt with have been somewhat shocked and angry at how much  more they actually had to pay when they decided to try to get their rigs working, and how hard it was to even find somebody to work on their rig at all after they were told by the seller they dealt with that their radio was ready for installation.   That extra $500 to $1400 really stings. With me, the radio is demonstrated to them when they buy it - if it doesn’t work then, I don’t sell it until it’s fixed.  I also supply the name, address, email address and phone number of the shop that did the work so that should there be problems further on down the line, the buyer has a repair contact. Yeah, the radios I sell cost a little more - because they’re worth it.
