There are some great photographs of vintage electronic devices at Antique Radio Restoration & Repair, many of which include the owner, Bob Eslinger of Pomfret. Decades ago these relics represented "cutting edge" technology that was combined with the more traditional skills of woodworking and cabinet making. Eslinger takes a soup-to-nuts approach to the restoration process, working both the electronic and crafting requirements that many of these machines require. He services all tube type radios including those made in Germany and Canada and also works on automobile radios, amplifiers and large, floor consoles. His work has attained a national following among collectors and has been the subject reports in prominent New England publications.
