This is a beautiful, restored 1946-48 Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth & De Soto deluxe 7-button radio manufactured by Philco (model C-4608). Mopar model 802. It is original 6-volt positive ground. This radio is also correct for 1951-52 B series trucks. Also included is a copy of the very hard to find original owners manual to guide you with installation, setting the electronic push buttons and operation of the radio. The manual copy is intended for informational purposes only. Servicing of the radio included a thorough cleaning and lubrication, new capacitors, replacement of out of value resistors, tested tubes, great working vibrator, alignment, the excellent original power/speaker wire and plug, working dial lamp, new dial glass, new tone wheel dial art and a new fuse link with new fuse and eye terminal for easy installation. The original speaker plug is in excellent condition and is ready to hook up to your original Mopar 802 speaker. All of the mechanics function, as they should including the electronic station presets, station selections and manual tuning. The radio plays and sounds much better than most car radios of the era with great reception (receives a lot of stations), tone and sensitivity up and down the tuning scale. This truly is a great sounding radio. Not only does the radio play well but it is in beautiful cosmetic condition as well with bright shiny chrome on the bezel, original knobs and push buttons. There are a few imperfections here and there as expected with age but overall the radio is pleasing to the eye. The tone wheel dial art (voice, mello, music) shown in the bottom window of the dial is new and is an exact reproduction of the original in color and font. You will not find this dial art on any other radios offered and I've never seen one of these radios that hasn't needed it. Be sure to take advantage of the zoom feature for a closer look. If you want a beautiful and great playing original radio adorning the dash of your classic Mopar then you will be very happy with this fine example that is ready to install. CA residents pay 7.75%. Your well packaged radio will be shipped the day following receipt of payment. Thank you!


Driven: Nissan Juke

Wed, 25 Aug 2010

Nowhere is the fragmentation of established market segments more evident than when thumbing through Nissan's current brochures. The new Nissan Juke, the smallest and most extreme member of Nissan's crossover range, is pitched as an 'urban proof' alternative to more conventional superminis. We took it to the streets to see how Nissan's scattershot small car strategy – which sees a range of four models occupying a similar space physically and fiscally – plays out.

Sinkhole Corvettes to be displayed before restoration

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

It's going to take a while to get the eight historic Chevrolet Corvettes that were consumed by a sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum two weeks ago out of that sinkhole -- just getting a specialized crane through the doors of the museum will take time. Afterward, though, the public will be able to get a look at them in their damaged state before Chevrolet has them restored. The museum has told the Detroit Free Press that the damaged cars will be on display at the National Corvette Museum from April through June of this year, once they're exhumed.

Leaked photos may show the 2014 Mazda 3

Thu, 18 Oct 2012

Mazda might not have planned on revealing the 2014 Mazda 3 lineup until next year, but photos showing the redesigned sedan and hatchback may expose the car’s lines a few months ahead of schedule. If the images are to be trusted, the Kodo design language—readily apparent on the upcoming 2014 Mazda 6 sedan and wagon—will make the jump to the smaller, less expensive Mazda 3 as well. Gone is the controversial “smile” grille worn by the 2012 Mazda 3.
