Tips About antique radio knobs

An all-in-good-fun, see-what-you-can-do-for-me attitude gets you alot further with most dealers than a negative, attacking stance. Most dealers are not crooks, they just need to make a profit. Avoid cutting down the merchandise to get a lower price. This implies they don't carry quality and is a fairly obvious ploy. They have priced the item with any defects in mind. For example, avoid phrases like "Well, it has this big crack in it, so it's really not all that great of a piece." Instead, try "Despite the crack, I like this and would like to buy it. However, the price is a little higher than I'd care to go. Could you do better on this?"

Some older clocks will only run well if they are absolutely level. If possible, try to have the piece examined by an independent clockmaker. In some instances a clock will retain its value even if the workings have been reconditioned but in other cases the piece becomes virtually worthless without the original mechanism.
