Hi Dave Sorry for the slow reply. I just got the 53 buick selectronic radio back from the guy who went thru it. He removed all the old wax-end capacitors and installed new vibrator and tubes as needed. Black plastic push-button is shining and no damage,chrome surround shines nice as well, but has some pits, believe surround is same on regular radio, so may already be changed by the time you get this. You can call Greg at 763-323-1114 with other Questions or Dave Tachney for an independent assesment, Mr.37-38 Buick lives only 10 mins away and I think you and he are aquainted. Either how you like. Thanx and Best Regards, Greg '40-76c, '40-56s[my projects]'40-51-4dr,parts,'47-70series hearse-parts,w/sedanette/convrt rear fenders/ excel-fronts,complete eng,trans,rear,other spares.
