Radio/8 Track Restoration?

Ok...this was asked in the past but I am tired of going through the old threads so...who do you recommend for radio and 8 track refurb? I think one recommendation was Joe? Thanks in advance.

Re: Radio/8 Track Restoration?

Do you want it restored, or updated with mp3 inputs, etc?

Re: Radio/8 Track Restoration?

I want it restored to the original spec's. I know for about $450 I can have the 8 Track and Radio updated with new electronics but I want to keep the radio and 8 track original if I can. A while back there was a thread of some sources that was recommended for repair but I can't find it. I have already purchased the 8 ohm dual front dash speaker.
