Please do not get sucked into paying $800 to have a $35 Chinese radio slammed into your casing. The old one is better, more original, and deserves to be saved.

Good advice Rusty! I have a AM/FM conversion radio in my '47 which I bought on eBay for a fraction of the $600 cost to convert. The sound is tinny and reception is lousy. My original radio needs a vibrator and there are no AM stations left in this area so I bought this converted one because of the FM.


Friend of mine was absolutely floored by the performance of a 1953 Wonderbar radio in a Buick he bought. Compared to the radio in his new Chev pickup, it brought in stations from 3 to 5 times as far away, clearer, and with a better tone. He couldn't believe it but I could, I have some killer tube radio and audio equipment at home.
