$10 Fake Philco Baby Grand radio and a boring weekend
#44

Oldie, those radios you posted look somewhat familiar but then I was only 10 at the time and didn’t really pay attention to it much. The only car radios I have sitting in my attic are one from a 70s Chevy, all solid state and a unique AM only radio from a 69 Mercury Monterey. That radio is unique because instead of having the on-off/volume on the left and the tuning control on the right, this radio has both controls next to each other to one side of the dial scale. It was from dads car and I replaced it with an AM/FM radio from another Merc. I imagine the aftermarket radio business is all but dead today as most cars have the radio buried in with the back up cameras and touch screens that control air and heat and navigation. Even an older 97 Ford Escort way back then had the radio in an oval shaped pod along with other things. Gone are the 2 knob simple rectangular radios of days gone by!

If using solder-tine type, use flat, not round. This will make harder for it to spin in the solder hole.morzh — 09:41 PM
