Thanks for checking, Ron. Sounds like Riders will have to do. I am delivering the radio today. Fired it up one more time this morning to hear it again. Pretty good performer. I did go back in and tape up a wire with bad insulation going to the speaker that bit me good when I touched it! I was replacing the front cover while the radio was playing. Either got a hold of the B+ to the output or the field coil.......The owner gave me a 1940 Motorola "universal fit" to work on next. My guess is the owner looked for original '39 Ford radios and found them a bit pricy. About 16 years ago I was about to carry away a 1935 or 36 Ford radio ( a Philco) from a yard sale for $20. A guy stepped up and said he wanted a radio for a '38 Ford which I said was not the same one. He said close enough and offered the seller $40 in food stamps.......he took the radio!
