I have a 1959 FC Holden with the original radio. The radio does not work. Does anyone know of someone who can fix it?
OR where I can get parts/valves for it?
Thanks,
Nadine.

Nadine,
There is a guy in Canberra who restores radios and he had one done at the last swap meet in Canberra. I got him to look at mine with the view to restoring it but prices started at $450.00 and up and he replaces all the old gear with new electronics. Finished job was very good. If your interested let me know and I will chase his details for you.
Regards ChrisB

Hi Nadine, what state are you in?
In Victoria we have a place called "NOSTALGIC WIRELESS CO" located at 629 Canterbury Road Surry Hills. PH. 9899 8880 or FAX 98998887.
They repair all types of old radios for home and your car.
A mate of mine had his non working FC air-chief radio repaired there and now its like the day it was made.
All things come at a cost
Good luck with it.

P.S
This guy at NOSTALGIC can convert your radio to tune into FM radio station. The radio still looks the same but you have more modern music.
From memory my mate paid about the $350 mark for his.

Thanks to everyone for your replies.
Nostalgic Wireless Co. sounds like a good option - might have to save some money!
Thanks,
Nadine.

Correct, the rear mount is drilled right through the centre of the pressed circle on the firewall.
