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. |

Audi RS5 (2010) first official pictures
Mon, 22 Feb 2010This is the new Audi RS5, a £60,000 super-coupe with a high-revving 4.2-litre V8 and a 174mph top speed. It's Audi's riposte to the BMW M3, and we'll see it in the metal at next week's 2010 Geneva motor show. Under the bonnet is the same naturally aspirated 4163cc V8 that powered the old RS4 and is currently found in the R8, but Audi’s Quattro GmbH division – responsible for all of Ingolstadt’s RS models – has squeezed an extra 30bhp out of the engine. That means the high-revving, direct-injection 4.2-litre V8 produces 444bhp at 8250rpm, along with 317lb ft from 4000 to 8000rpm. That power is sent through a seven-speed S-tronic gearbox to all four wheels, and with the Launch Control system engaged it’s enough to propel the 1725kg coupe to 62mph in 4.6 seconds, before powering the RS5 on to its 155mph limiter.
Nissan says the Leaf electric car will snag Toyota Prius owners
Tue, 01 Jun 2010Owners of Toyota Motor Corp.'s fuel-efficient Prius hybrid will succumb to the charms of the Nissan Leaf electric sedan, predicts Nissan Division Vice President Al Castignetti. More than half of the 130,000 hand-raisers who have expressed an interest in the Leaf so far have been Prius owners, he said. "That's a pretty significant signal to us," Castignetti said last week as Nissan North America Inc.
Hyundai Genesis gets Detroit 2014 debut
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Cars we don’t get in the UK 101 would have to include the Hyundai Genesis American-market saloon in its syllabus. It’s an upmarket barge of a car that we actually wouldn’t mind gracing our roads over here in Blighty – and, interestingly, the new car is destined for these shores. Think of it as a cut-price Jaguar XF or BMW 5 Series over in the States, offering loads of comfort, a decent turn of performance and plenty of neat safety features.
