One thing you will get when you deal with us is, Customer Satisfaction! I do not work in a shop with a million things going on. I work on one radio at a time and do not have constant interuptions unlike the typical radio shop. This gives me the time and expertise to devote to your radio to do the job right and professional.

I build my own radios and also build custom radios that customers send me. My own radios are built with a specific design in mind and usually are released once a month. Customers radios usually take about two weeks to build, sometimes less if the needed parts are in stock.

I dedicate my repair time to certain specific type of radio. This gives me the ability to fix your radio in less time than it would normally take a shop because I dedicate my expertise to these specific types of radios. I will repair any of the following radios specifically, Cobra 21/25/29/140/142/148/2000 GTL/LTD, Uniden Grant/Washington/Madison, Galaxy Export Series Radios and similar like Connex, General, Superstar, Ranger and more. I do not work on radios with the upD858 PLL, SM5104 PLL etc... If you are unsure or have a question about a repair of a radio not listed, feel free to call and ask. I will custom build radios that are listed that I do not repair however. I just like to keep my attention on a specific type of chassis, you will get a radio with better work and in return, I get less headaches. :-)

Take a look at the pics below and they will give you a slight idea of what I can do for you on a custom built radio. If you have a design in mind, feel free to e-mail me or call.

Update: Once shop opens in Sacramento, I will be offering mail order sales on this site. I will be stocking all parts necessary in order for you to do your own work if you so desire. Some of the things I will be selling are: Custom and Stock Faceplates, LED Meter Lights, Channel Displays, Echo's, Roger Beeps and much more. All items can be paid for with a Money Order, Personal Check and PayPal (Credit Cards, Bank Account Transfers and PayPal Balances or even an E-Check). All payments with a check will need to clear before anything is shipped. At this time, I can only accept PayPal Payments and Money Orders from the US Post Office.

Check out some of the pictures below, this way you can see what I can do for your radio! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an excellent day....


Custom built Cobra 148 GTL by West Coast Radio - This radio was real ugly before, but it was gone through, aligned, Grant XL Bezel applied with custom faceplate, Blue Channel LED's, Galaxy Knob Set and our famous 192 Channel Modification plus chrome covers. What once was a $25.00 radio was now a $250.00 radio.

All blue Cobra 146 GTL by West Coast Radio - Customer wanted all blue LED's, nothing more...

This is a custom built Cobra 29 LTD by West Coast Radio - This radio originated as any standard 29 LTD would have. There is just too much to list here that was done to this radio, but I can say that echo, roger fart, Uniden PC78 XL Bezel, Blue Led's, Swing Kit and much more. Oh yeah, even unlocked the Delta Tune. If I was to tell you everything done to this radio, it would all have to go on a seperate webpage within this site.

Here is another Custom Built Radio. This was originally a Uniden Grant (President Grant). It took on a whole new look as you can see. It has all blue LED's for the channel Display, Blue/Red TX/RX LED and a purple meter LED. The Face construction was fairly simple. The inner face support was swapped for a 148 GTL support and switches. It also has a 148 GTL Channel Selector and Channel Display. Along with the new Bezel, faceplate, Galaxy Knob Set and two original President small knobs, it really came to life. With added Talk Back and Dual Control Echo, this radio now sings to a new tune. All of the knobs and switches were properly labeled on the new faceplate to avoid confusion that comes with those aftermarket faceplates. New chrome cases and an added heatsink to the rear will keep this radio cool for a long time!
