DAB HAND RADIO

General information

This page is about my work repairing, restoring and, when wanted, converting old valve wireless sets to receive modern DAB, FM broadcasts and even Internet Streaming. I established the Dabhandradio as a one man 'hobby business' in 2010 when I retired due to ill health (arthritic knees!) after working over 30 years in Special Education and laterley within the world of juvenile crime working with young offenders in the Greater Manchester area. Once I couldn't run fast enough to catch the littlle rascals it was time to throw in the towel! As a life long radio enthusiast and Radio Ham I thought I'd turn my hobby into something more challenging. Since starting up my work has become much sought after and I have a very health, although frustrating for customers, waiting list. Most commissions have at least a six month time scale and some have taken over a year to complete! If you are thinking of a project then get in touch soon to get a place on the build list. My radios have been sent all over the world, are always guaranteed and, touch wood (!) have rarely gone tech and have been much loved by their owners. Often I restore and/or convert old valve sets which have great sentimental value to the customer so, as always, I treat each bespoke job I do with the utmost care and only produce work of the very highest quality... Hence the waiting list!
