You could take your radio to the radio and TV repair shop down the street, but most things you could probably fix yourself. He built his own garage. He was a trained radio and TV repairman, when those had tubes. I remember when there was a shoe repair shop on almost every corner. He made his own electric lawnmower.

A few years back, we sold several older radios – one wooden cabinet tabletop model from the 1940s, a Bakelite tabletop from the 1950′s and a 1960′s tiny transistor in MIB (mint in box) condition. That same person may troll neighborhood garage sales and offer to cart away anything left after the sale for free.
