Did this person actually ask for an estimate or did they ship the radio in with no instructions at all? Maybe this person wanted the radio restored?

Obviously your friend never heard of an estimate. When you mail-in a radio for repair work you should always ask for an estimate first before the work/service is started. $500.00 sounds ridiculous to me unless it was a complete restoration.

I have heard the same thing from other people too. (y)

In my opinion his repair rates are reasonable.

I wish! :LOL:

I finally received a reply to my email today from Mike at MikesRadioRepair: "Sorry for not responding until now. I just can’t keep up with emails anymore. Between the endless stream of emails I get daily and some rather serious health problems in the family I had fallen horribly behind. I’m...

I have owned one for years and it works real well on AM on 11 meters. There are generally quite a few for sale on eBay.

No. I send emails everyday but none of them are ever answered. :(

In the distant past I would have recommended Mike at MikesRadioRepair but I cannot recommend a tech. who currently doesn't reply to his emails and/or reply to his voice mail messages. I'm sure somebody else on the forum might be able to help you and will recommend a more reliable tech.

:LOL:

One of my locals also had one back in the 90's and he loved it. He's no longer on the air but supposedly the antenna is still up on his roof.

Just because somebody critiques one of Mike's videos doesn't necessarily mean that they don't like him. I think most if not all of his customers would agree that Mike is an excellent tech.

I agree.

Trust me, it was sent to the right place and he is obviously (in this case) very bad with turnaround time.

I have given him time since he received the radio way back in October of 2016. I think 17 months is definitely plenty of time.

Mike doesn't respond to my emails and his voice mail is always full, so I guess the only way I will be able to get my radio back is to drive out to his shop. :(

I picked up a NOS 257 HP on eBay about a year ago, but lately I haven't seen any for sale.

Somebody asked that question on his YouTube page and his answer was: MikesRadioRepair 1 day ago It would basically look like the radio when transmitting without the amplifier. It would greatly attenuate anything over 30MHz.

I guess he will see it but then again trying to contact him lately seems to be almost impossible. Although he does seem to answer certain questions and comments on his YouTube page.

You should reference this thread on his YouTube comments section.
