Sparkbench has a ton of beautiful retro radio restorations - "Vintage Radio restoration is a passion of mine. It always gives me a thrill to bring one of these relics back to like new condition. There's alot of sites dealing with real valuable old radios, but this is a site for the 'common tinkerer' with budgetary concerns who likes to have a good time refurbing and tinkering. Most of the sets on these pages cost me less than $100, many under $50." - Link. Also, check out the homebrews.
