Guest 2003nbc Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Trying to repair a 1930's Chevrolet radio - it has a lock.Where can I find a key blank, would it be a Briggs and Stratton? I'm new to old Chevrolets - my question - why a lock on the on/off switch.Also anyone have any helpful hints as to replacing a broken string?
bubba Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 There are a few radio restoration places that could probably help with the key blank. I have an early Buick with a key stored away. If I find it I'll look. The reason for the key is that the radio was installed with the pos voltage direct to the battery side of the ignition with an inline fuse. The key stopped others from leaving it on and draining the battery fast
Vila Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Since you have the lock cylinder out it may have the key code stamped on the front or side of the cylinder.
