Good morning everyone. I am trying to find out information for my father-in-law on the following.

A Philco transitone Model 5 Superheterodyne Automobile Radio Code 121
Has Ford on the radio. Can you tell me what vehicles this radio went into.


Thank you in advance for your help.

The Philco 5 was an aftermarket radio. It ewas the lowestr line auto radio that Philco produced at the time and did not include an RF stage in it. I've never seen this radio branded as anything but Philco in over 50 years. Not saying it wasn't in a particular make of car but noit a factory installion.

You can probably save it using coils on the wire leads. Try unwinding a tad off each end of the rf coil.RodB — 09:47 PM
