Mel Wattles has a Master's degree in Industrial Technology and is currently in retirement after 35 years as an educator and instructor in woodworking and cabinet making.
In his own words: "There are two things I really love doing.... restoring these old radios and talking about them. I grew up in the Golden Age of Radios and saw the most collectible radios of today when they were new on the shelves. I love collecting and working with these products whose hallmark was outstanding design executed with precise craftsmanship. I am using my wood-working and electronic skills doing what I enjoy most and am offering the restoration services of Radio Renewal on a limited basis. I would be happy to give free estimates and advice on your antique radio restoration projects."
