Call them. I think they will take a credit card over the phone.

Greg has done a lot of my radios and so far it's been great.

When it comes to E-Body thumbwheels, I hear that Wards doesn't work on the 1970 Phillips radios and just the 1971 Motorola units. Does anyone have good recommendation for a 1970 Phillips thumbwheel restoration?

I think the main reason Greg does not work on the Phillips version is that he told me the circuit boards are so fragile,that it's hard for him to warranty anything and replacement boards are not an option.I wonder if these radios can have the internals converted to modern electronics,like they do on other radios,are do the thumbwheels throw a wrench into doing this.Also Greg has been nothing but great with me on several radios I've had him do over the years.Thanks again Greg
