Oldie, MrFixr,…back in the late 50s early 60s dad had a big car radio with built in speaker on our kitchen counter. Don’t remember the brand or year of the radio or if it was 6V or 12V. I’m assuming it was an older 6V by the size of it. He had a big hulking transformer bolted to the top of it and used the metal window screen in the nearby window for an antenna. It looked like crap but worked well on AC!
