Scott Allwave 1934 radio -- repairman needed

My mother is elderly and owns the following radio, it is in great shape but nevertheless needs minor repair and restoration:

 I inherited my radio from my parents who purchased it when they attended the
1934 Worlds Fair in Chicago.
It was purchased, paid for. and then shipped to Arizona where my parents
lived.  It apparently is a Tassman model - this info was given me by my son Curtis
Walling who did some primary research on EH Scott.
I have the original guarantee which states that it is a Scott De Luxe
Allwave Receiver number J 419.
It is dated Sep. 21, 1934 and signed by E.H. Scott.

My mother is located in Mesa, AZ.  Is there a fine repairman well versed with this model that

can come to her home in Mesa to investigate repairing/restoring it?  I would love to get it in the finest working condition

as a memory and gift to her.

Curtis -

The trick will be finding someone in the Mesa area that is willing and able to help. I know a lot of Scott collectors, but not very many in that area, and I'm not sure if anyone out that way does work on them. The best way to get the set restored would be to remove the tuner, amplifier and speaker and send them to someone that does repairs. This way it could be tested together to insure a good restoration.

Based on the serial number and date, you have an Allwave 15, apparently in the Tasman cabinet (one s, it is a town in New Zealand, where Scott was from). This would certainly be a nice piece for your mother to enjoy, I hope that you are able to locate help locally.
