I am privileged to own a 1960 MGA that has been in my family since  new.  
While I still have the radio installed by the dealer (Johnny Lail,  Glendale, 
CA), it has not been in the car for a number of years.  Now I'd  like to have it 
restored so I can return it to its rightful place in the  dashboard.  It's a 
Philco, five pushbutton AM radio.  All the  knobs and buttons are there.  The 
chrome face would need to be replated and  the plastic knobs/buttons would need 
to be cleaned.  I don't know if the  radio works, but I assume it needs an 
overall tune-up.  There is a  screwhead switch on the side of the radio that I 
presume is used to switch it  from positive to negative ground.  My car is 
positive ground, as supplied  from factory.  Can anybody recommend a vintage radio 
restoration specialist  for my radio?  I live in Riverside, CA, but don't 
mind shipping it anywhere  in the USA.
