1947 Motorola Car Tube Radio Two Piece W Rare Pushbutton Tuning on 2040-parts.com
Red Lion, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is a very hard to find Motorola tube car radio. The lid is marked 1947, but I can find no model number. it's in two pieces - the radio itself in a box with lugs marked +, gnd, ant. The control head connects via two mechanical cables which are included and which do work - manually moving the end of the cables causes the volume know to turn and the dial pointer to move.
The control head also has a multi-pin plug which is inserted into the receiver. I think it controls the tuning when you push one of the preset buttons. These snap in and out normally when you press them. A great restoration project - the paint is rough on the outside, but the radio looks fine and untouched inside. The control head has a tarnished chrome bezel. I cleaned a small part so you can see the chrome underneath. This has not been tested and I don't guarantee anything about it, but if you're into restoring old radios, here's a nice one to work on. |
