$10 Fake Philco Baby Grand radio and a boring weekend
#38

MrFixr55, yes I did see the photos of the store bought consoles with the car radios in them.
I think the whole idea is just grand!
It might be possible that such a radio might be cheaper than a "normal" radio on the showroom floor as no r&d went into the radio part and all they did was build a nice cabinet and put a car radio in?
At the same time it would be able to suck in the moon with its tubes rf front end and sound pretty awesome with its push-pull likely 6v6s.

A 1940 Zenith console might be out performed with this "cheaper" radio right?
