If you have hesitated to refinish a cabinet, this video should provide the encouragement needed to give it a try. The audio/video quality is top notch. ...The restoration methods are practical and should be easy for most collectors to carry out. Regardless of your present skill level, you'll find the many good ideas in this DVD useful." -Ray Bintliff Antique Radio Classified, February 2007 "You need to see [this video]... Anyone who has a radio with [damage] in the cabinet and who may have been previously resigned to living with the blemish now need not do so... Vol. 3 is done with the same knowledgeable care as his previous two." -David Krauter AWA Journal, April 2006 "It seems that no cabinet is beyond repair using Bret's techniques... the video moves right along and never gets dull... This comprehensive, 2-hour video... is the best medium for presenting this information, far better than the written word, and this professional qulity DVD does it nicely. -Ray Bintliff, W1RY Antique Radio Classified, March 2006 "I can't help but think of Bret as the 'Mister Wizard' of radio restoration! (The video) is as entertaining as it is educational; as much an encouragement to enter our hobby as it is a thorough basic education of restoration techniques. I'm compelled to recommend it highly!" -Ron Hensel, Antique Radio Club of Illinois, ARCI News, December, 2004 "If you've been thinking about trying to restore some of your old radios but have hesitated because you don't 'Know Electricity,' these two videos would be a good place for you to start. Bret, with his gorgeous collection of radios in the background, talks and walks the viewer through old radio repair in a very laid-back, informal style. These two videos represent an enormous investment of time and thought. They are a viable alternative to the many available books and articles. Highly recommended." David Krauter, Antique Wireless Association The AWA Journal, April 2005 "I think [the videos] cover just about every important topic that a beginning-to-intermediate level restorer should know about. All explanations are clear and concise... and in terms that I think most folks will easily understand. (The video) is really an extraordinary value, since it not only covers the theory that the books explain, but also has that up-close and personal feeling that one can only get while watching someone actually poke around inside a chassis. Bravo!" -Tim Sullivan, Founder, allthingsradio.com "[You have] a knack for convincing viewers that restoring radios is fun and not that difficult. More than any book, these two volumes and their "You can learn to do this, too!" upbeat attitude will hopefully encourage new collectors to take the restoration plunge. I think that is their greatest contribution." -Brian Belanger, editor of Radio Age, the Mid-Atlantic Antique Radio Club newsletter, August 2004 "The video is fun to watch. Bret has a pleasant, laid-back style on screen. The pace is not hurried, but it keeps moving... He packs a lot of information in the 115 minutes... I would recommend it, and look forward to Bret's future efforts." -Eric Stenberg, Mid-Atlantic Antique Radio Club in Radio Age Newsletter, August 2004 "I know (your videos) will be ones that I'll go back to time and again in the future. You are very articulate and have a good, understandable way of presenting things; the amazing thing was how you used common tools and supplies, no expensive equipment!" -M. Jensen "I received my tape today and watched the first hour or so. I have one word for you - spectacular! I know how to replace caps and fortunately, that fixes most of those hummers. But your tape has opened some new territory for me! I love old radios so much; this is like watching the World Series!" -Ken R.
