1947 Motorola Car Tube Radio Two Piece W Rare Pushbutton Tuning on 2040-parts.com
Red Lion, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is a very hard to find Motorola tube car radio. The lid is marked 1947, but I can find no model number. it's in two pieces - the radio itself in a box with lugs marked +, gnd, ant. The control head connects via two mechanical cables which are included and which do work - manually moving the end of the cables causes the volume know to turn and the dial pointer to move.
The control head also has a multi-pin plug which is inserted into the receiver. I think it controls the tuning when you push one of the preset buttons. These snap in and out normally when you press them. A great restoration project - the paint is rough on the outside, but the radio looks fine and untouched inside. The control head has a tarnished chrome bezel. I cleaned a small part so you can see the chrome underneath. This has not been tested and I don't guarantee anything about it, but if you're into restoring old radios, here's a nice one to work on. |

Locke review: a road movie with a difference
Fri, 18 Apr 2014Locke is a road movie with a difference – not to mention an enormous contrast to Need for Speed, which is the last heavy car content film I reviewed on MSN Cars. Simply put, Locke stars Tom Hardy and a BMW X5, and that’s about it. To say very much more than this would actually be to give away the, ahem, driving force of the plot – if you can even call it that.
2015 Subaru WRX debuts at Los Angeles Auto Show
Wed, 20 Nov 2013If you loved the rakish WRX concept that bowed in New York earlier this year, the production 2015 WRX, which debuted today at the Los Angeles Auto Show, may be a slight downer: decidedly less boy-racer than its predecessors, its sculpted fender flares and unique sheetmetal only slightly disguise its Impreza rootstock. But the WRX has always been more about performance than style, anyway, and Subaru says the new car will top its predecessor on that front. The '14 WRX's 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer-four squeezes out 268 hp and 258 lb-ft -- just a little bit more than the outgoing 2.5-liter turbo-equipped car.
Shelby American celebrates the GT350's anniversary with a modern Mustang
Tue, 19 Jan 2010Shelby American is marking the 45th anniversary of the legendary Shelby GT350 Mustang with a new version, designed for Ford's new 5.0-liter V8 in the 2011 Mustang. For those willing to plunk down $33,995--plus the cost of a new Mustang--the team at Shelby American in Las Vegas will crank out a modernized GT350. On the outside, that calls for white paint with the blue racing stripes down the center of the hood, roof and deck.
