The Wonderbar is an awesome radio! Friend of mine had one in a 1953 Buick and couldn't get over how great it sounded. Also it would pull in stations from 1000 miles farther than the one in his new Chev pickup, no kidding.

I bet you could get that radio in any Packard even the cheapest 200 coupe. That's the way Packard did things back then.

Somewhere around here I have an old 1963 Electronics magazine with plans for a transistor vibrator substitute. You could build it for about $5 worth of parts. Maybe if you browse around the net (Google) someone has posted the plans.
