Does the band and functions change with an on/off combination or does it rely on another switch-- maybe the old strength select lever that was on the tuning side? Is the Wonderbar fully functional and can it be set for ether AM or FM stations or a combination?

IIRC, Mathew in Australia installed a complete modern AM/FM bluetooth etc radio from one of the repro vendors that was designed for a mid 50s Chevy dash. I believe he said it was a perfect fit in the dash with exception of the knob shaft lengths. The plastic knob and button color theme was black so maybe passable for Clipper but not Packard. Don't remember if he modified the shafts or left them alone but has anyone else tried that radio or looked to see if the knobs could be changed to Packard originals?
