Re: [FWDLK] radio

[Mark H <pizoboom@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's most definitely Dodge, not Plymouth like Neil suggested, but it's not like any radio I've seen before.  It's quite large, 10" across the face, plus another 3" for I guess the tubes to be attached via a riveted on extra piece on the right side.  There are still knobs for volume and dialing a station, but the volume knob does not 'click' off, so the OFF on the left button must indeed be for OFF for the radio.  I had thought (having never owned a seven button-signal seeking-hiway hifi radio before) that the OFF might be something to do with the signal seeking function.  But perhaps not. 

 

I believe it is for '56 Dodge (my dad and I have one - a '56 Custom Royal).  If it would help identify it by seeing photos, anyone can let me know and I'll be glad to email you photos.
