406mac Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Thanks for your help....that was an aftermarket accessory? Any idea when it was made? Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustycrusty Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Yes, an aftermarket radio. That type with the radio controls mounted via a clamp to the steering column had flexible cables that ran down from the knobs to a firewall mounted radio and speaker in a metal box. They were typically sold in the mid to late 1930's. That dial is in excellent (N.O.S.?) shape! Somebody needs it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
