Is there anyone in Wagga Wagga that might be able to have a look at a valve Kriesler radio that I posted to a lady yesterday it does not work now should be something simple as it was restored only a week ago maybe a valve popped out or a bad solder joint (I will pay you of course) being the seller.

Thanks in advance George 0450 941 113.

I am in Wangaratta which is a long way away but. If things reach desperation there may be a few leftovers from the Veteran Vintage & Classic Vehicle Clubs Spring Rally staying a few days?

There are a few from Wagga coming to it. The catch 22 is that if it is not simple & there is no time to check it. we have another issue.

I am President of the Club so will I will be busy during the event.

If it was working before it was shipped, and it was well packed, then it's likely something simple. Displaced valve would the front runner, I guess.

This is from Brad's services pages:

.... however the website no longer exists. Might be worth trying the phone number for something that appears to be simple.
