JamesR Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Sorry I don't live in Florida, but I did send my radio off to Retro Radio Restoration (PA). Mine is a 12 volt out of an early 60's vehicle, but I'm pretty sure they do 6 volt units, too. I should mention they haven't done the work yet - won't get my radio back til spring, so it takes a while to get it back, but they have good reviews.

Home - Radio Restoration Retro Radio has done several of mine - both 6-Volt and 12-Volt, and has also converted my 1941 Cadillac 6-Volt to play both AM/FM, and has leads to allow hook up for my old iPod, and CD player, Great company to deal with ! and brother-in-law of Doug Seybold of 1940-1941 Buick Fame 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, 3macboys, but the upgrade and conversion to the dealer-installed original radio was actually done back around 1995, so it wasn't quite so obsolete, and gave us hours, and thousands of miles of cross-country enjoyment, We really enjoyed the Ontario Region, AACA 2018 tour from Alliston to Kincardine, Ontario, as well as the 2019 AACA Vintage Tour based in Kingston, ON hosted by Joe and Lynne Konarowski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trini Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I just bought a 1953 Buick Radio which is intact. Model 981323 made by Delco, 12 volts. I am telling you this because I have met scammers on line . A fellow from Alberta sent me a schematic for free and told me what to replace in order to get it to work safely. ( 0Z4, 3 pin vibrator and a certain 1600 volt capacitor. These parts are available from Tubes and More on line. New tubes are also available.
