bodayguy Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I know nothing except the guy I bought my 64 from included this in the sale and I have cleaned it up and am going to EBay it or whatever. Is this for a 64? Does the serial number tell us anything? Hopefully it works, I haven’t tried it, just cleaned it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioguybill Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 A better picture of model number please or write it out Bill N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodayguy Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Sorry. Yes. It looks like 980657 model #. ADD: Guess I should have googled it (sorry, I be dumb sometimes). That model number does code to a 64! Anyone want it before I eBay it? Edited July 8, 2020 by bodayguy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Does it have the foot control with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) This radio would be perfect for a rebuild where new advancements in technology could be applied. http://www.turnswitch.com/radio1.htm Scroll down and check out the video of the conversion of a 1955 Chevrolet Delco Wonderbar.

Pat Curran Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Looks like it has a fader switch for a rear speaker which is a plus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodayguy Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 It does not include a foot pedal. I don’t have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 It will work without it. I only used the foot switch on my 63 a couple of times. Once, when I was coaching sophomore softball at East High School, we had a sudden downpour. Some girls had their own cars and left. I piled about 5 into the Riviera to wait out the storm. I told the girls that if they would snap their fingers while pointing at the radio, it would change channels. They thought that was the coolest thing. Little did they know. Unbeknownst to them, they about wore out my left foot under the brake pedal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KongaMan Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Been a long time since I had 5 high school girls in my car. You dog. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 If only I had been 18 and single instead of 42 and married, it might have been a little different. I had my own girls in high school around then as well. I was more concerned about getting the leather seats dried out than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XframeFX Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Ed, those nice white leather seats, very nice! Rich, I squinted on that 1 image of yours to try and make out the model number - Delco 980657? Yep, my SAMS PhotoFact #25 has it for 1964 9 transistor AM Radio. All Delco radios starting with '9' during that era are for Buick. If it's too far gone, would be perfect for an Aurora Design conversion with that Seeking Bar. +$500 but the best! It would fetch a core price as is. For a Dealer: http://www.tech-retro.com/Aurora_Design/Home.html My '63 WonderBar is a model Delco 980463 but looks the same. John B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
