Hola There
To add what has already been said, the Imperial Radio has an L - R dial as
part of the radio and an Front to Rear Fade. Mine also has the foot switch
for seek. They need an 8 ohm speaker to work best.

The radios 1960 through 1963 are interchangeable. There are
minor
differences mechanically, but they essentially are the same, yes,
HYBRID with tubes and transistors. They were state of the art for the
time and are capable of delivering the very high quality performance.
Appearance wise, the dial color changes from year to year, and even
within certain years, to match the dial colors of the speedometer and
gauge cluster.
For example, some 1960 Imperials have gray
background gauges, and some
have black. The radio dial is coordinated with
these to match. 961 and
1962 are all black background, while 1963 has all
gray background. The
1963 radio matches up nicely to the gray background
1960 models. The
radios also incorporate the electro-luminescent lighting
feature for
night time driving.
The radios are out there (check
e-bay), and if not working can be
repaired. The OIC may have contact
information for radio repair, or you
may locate one in your area on your
own. Also check Hemmings
advertising. Here in Western Washington State I
had no luck locally
until finding a retired T.V. repair man who works on
old technology in
his spare time. He rebuilt six radios for me, which I
plan to install
in my Imperials sometime during the next year or so. Once
the old ones
are removed, I will have them repaired as spares. At that
point, I may
sell off a couple since I don't plan to keep a separate spare
for each
car.

Hi Bernie,
I think your radio was manufactured at
Bendix. I have a 60 Crown and my
radio was stamped 403 (if memory serves
me right).
I don't know if your radio is still a hybrid one (valves and
transistors) or a full transistor version.
Allthough they might look
simple, they are pretty state of the art for
that time!
There are a
lot of repair shops that can repair the radio, and you
could have added FM
too without changing the looks of the radio.
Mine was converted to FM
stereo (4 x 40Watts) and I am very happy with
it!! Mention that not much
is going on at the AM band in my country..
