JR's radio repair shop
Listen now
Description
This year on Standing Room Only we've run interviews with all kinds of repairers. Our last is with a colleague of ours, John Roberts - better known around here as JR - who mends old broken radios that still have plenty of life in them. One of his specialties is repairing the plastic Bell radios that were in so many Kiwi homes from the 1950s to the early 1980s. Lynn Freeman asks JR if he grew up with a radio in the family home. John Roberts is a member of the New Zealand Vintage Radio Society
