Default Reproduction Radios

I recently ordered a $550 reproduction radio for my '71 from Antique Radios in Florida on May 17th and it may get built and shipped today. Have any of you bought from this manufacturer and are their reproduction radios good quality?

These new radios use all solid state electronics so there's no comparison.

The original radios were solid state too- no tubes in them.

Look at this- POST #2...doesn't sound promising...

Default Have one

I have one given me by a friend, it came in a completely rebuilt 71 but he decided to install another type of radio, the quality appears to be really good, face, *****, etc. haven't installed it yet but all I'm interested in is covering the hole as it doesn't have a radio now. Mine has the sticker from Antique Automobile Radio.

It appears they have few (if any) wires in them; maybe a few to connect the boards together but that's all.
