Hi Guys,

Does anyone have experience with a vendor that can repair vintage AM Radios?  Thanks to less Cannaday, I was finally able to purchase an OEM Toshiba Positive-Ground radio for my 64 SPL310.  The ON/OFF switch doesn't work and the dial lights (tiny screw-in bulbs) are burned out.   Any recommendations would certainly be appreciated.

Respectfully,

Here's an e-mail I sent to the group back in 2014:

Hey, All.

I'm getting my car painted, and decided, what the heck, maybe I'll try to
spruce it up on the inside, too, and fix stuff that's broken, like the
radio.

I found this guy in Liverpool, NY - Dave Froehlich.  He's amazing.  I asked
him what the chances were of him being able to fix my old Toshiba AM radio,
and he e-mailed me back the schematic for it!

Off it goes in a box, along with the speaker and a money order for $65, and
shortly thereafter I get an e-mail with his assessment.  Then more e-mails,
keeping me up-to-date on his progress, and even a *movie* to demonstrate
the sound he's getting out of it!

Here it is, back in my house within two weeks.  I sent him a note with
another twenty bucks to thank him for being such an attentive service man.
I have never heard this radio in the car, and I'm excited to install it and
pull that antenna up and go back in time, as it seems like AM tends toward
oldies, as well as baseball and weather.  What fun this will be.

You would probably make this guy's day by sending him another Datsun radio
- he appears to live for this stuff.

Looking forward to spring, which might still come,

I checked the website and it's still up, so I'm hoping this guy is still in
business!

Good luck.

I haven't used them but saved this link either from someone on this list 
or another I am on: http://tubesandtransistorsandmore.com

Restores antique tube and transistor radios and such.? Basically says 
all the caps fail after a couple of decades and changing out a few to 
make it work isn't good enough and changes them all and sees what's up 
afterwards.

One thing if you decide to do the cap swap out yourself is back a couple decades ago the older lead-based solder was replaced by lead-free which is not compatible with the old stuff. You will need the old 60/40 or better 63/37 solder to work on these radios. Do not try plumbing solder either.

 The cap leads will probably need to be scraped/cleaned a bit because the old lead coating on them has been replaced with something else.

 I would think there's an advertisement in Hemmings for a radio restorer.

Pat,

I found a guy that has worked on the radio and will flat rate them for $65 plus shipping costs.  He?s a boomer that likes to stay busy doing what he enjoys.  For that price, I can?t see how I can go wrong.

Charlie, sounds great! I don?t know if my 67.5 radio works or not, haven?t tried it in about 30 years. Don?t have a speaker & even if I did it is not important to have it work. My hearing aids are connected to my phone so I just stream to them. If I ever feel like getting the radio working I?ll get the number. 


I thought about going up to OKC or Durant OK next weekend for the Route 66 get together or the car show @ the casino in Durant but I don?t think I will. Too far to drive for a day. Besides, I can spend that time working on my car! Starting engine assembly. 

Peace,
Pat

>> Hi Guys,
>> 
>> Does anyone have experience with a vendor that can repair vintage AM Radios?  Thanks to less Cannaday, I was finally able to purchase an OEM Toshiba Positive-Ground radio for my 64 SPL310.  The ON/OFF switch doesn't work and the dial lights (tiny screw-in bulbs) are burned out.   Any recommendations would certainly be appreciated.

Need to get a new dizzy cap. Anyone remember the car model Gary used to 
make the roadster Nissan dizzy upgrade? Can't find it in my archives.

Tom, this discussion of the Gary Boone EI distributor is circa 1999 from the 311s site:

? The "late style" electronic distributor is one from a Datsun 210, 310 or
pickup in the 1978 to 1982 range. The roadster distributor shaft will fit
into these distributors and only needs a small spacer and a longer screw to
make it work. These distributors are available in junkyards for very
reasonable prices. Conversion is relatively simple and mechanical advance
limit mechanisms can be found with advances similar to the roadster. It is
probably better to use a coil from one of the vehicles that the distributor
comes from. The ignition module is mounted on the side of the distributor.
The cap and rotor are a bit larger than the roadster one.?

I?ve never needed to replace my GB EI cap, but I did recall B210, which this appears to partially confirm.

Thanks for the info. Sure glad I asked about it. I had some faded idea 
that a 240 sedan was involved. Go figure. Must be an "old guy thing." 
Thanks again.

Didn?t  the Volvo 240 series connection to roadsters involve the disc brake caliper? I?m interested because my ?80 240 is currently headed to the graveyard.

The Volvo has a connection to the roadster in that there are upgrades to the roadster brakes that use Volvo parts.   I don?t think there would be any interest in used Volvo parts though for a roadster application  
On another note though don?t be so quick to junk a 240. There is a resurgence in interest in the 140/164 /240 and 260 series.  I personally am doing a 164E restoration.  There would be demand for many of the parts.  Check out the Volvo boards on Facebook

You mean the big castle nut that holds the hub onto the front axle? If yes,
there is no torque spec. You basically tighten it down whilst spinning the
hub until the hub stops, then back off a little so the hub spins and you can
get the cotter pin in.

I agree with Pete and have used this method for 45yrs without issue. If you?re looking for something more scientific and or written documentation then I?ve attached a scan from my Datsun 280Z factory manual. I know it?s not the car in question but it gives some useful information.

My adult son often works on cars with me and is an accomplished mechanic.

Last weekend he was reinstalling the horn button on an early 67 roadster, which is metal.

He had it in, then turned the car power on so he could test it.  it worked but he complained it shocked him as well.

I noticed that he was sitting sideways in the driver's seat with his legs outside of the car, but up against the bodywork.

I had to explain to him how the horn worked . . . .
