Re: ChairSide Radio...

Are the button caps round or square? If square, and about three-eights across, it might be possible to find a Chrysler product radio that has been removed so as to replace it with a 'modern' stereo set. Good place to start would be an automotive 'flea' market. Watch out, though... There were also Motorolas built for Chrysler. They were generally the lesser sets, with only 5 pushbuttons, and mechanical at that. Those button caps will not fit the Philco. Those Philco car radios were really nice sets. Sensitive, selective and GREAT sound.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
