Greeting all, my name is Christian and this is my first posting. I’m new to vintage radio and I know absolutely nothing what so ever about vintage / antique radio’s , however I am the proud owner of a black AWA Empire State Fisk Radiolette. My hopes are that one day I will be able to restore my little beauty to its original glory, but will be needing a lot of help in doing so, I hope I have came to the right place, I look forward to hearing from anyone who can help or point me in the right direction , Regards Christian

Welcome to the forums Christian. There's plenty already said about restoration of radios here though if you need to know something specific just pop a question in the Tech Talk forum and you are fairly sure to get a reply within a day or so.

The Radiolette is a good investment too. In good nick it should be worth around $1,400 for the model with the gold flecks in the cabinet and slightly higher for the high-gloss version.
