52/53 Radio Tube Box

Can’t seem to find the right “Group” number in the parts book? 

 

Will the “box” containing the “guts” (tubes, resistors, tuner, etc.) from a 52 Super/Roadmaster fit a 53 Super/Roadmaster? I know the trim on the dash is different.

 

Thanks, 

 

Gary

I think it will fit but the nuts on the volume control and station tuning may have to changed because they may be either too long or two short.   The nuts I am talking about are on the radio shafts and go up against the back of the dash panel. Then there are nuts that hold the radio in place that go on the shafts  after the radio is mounted in the dash.

In case you did not notice, the 1952 Buick radio (any series) is 6 volt. The 1953 Super/Roadmaster is 12 volt, and the first year of the Buick V-8. No Buick V-8s are 6 volt. Awaiting for someone to tell me about a 1899 Buick V-8 prototype that is 6 volt.😉
