The controls were a separate little box with a dial and knobs. Open it up and see if there are typical tubes and such inside. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | I would expect there to be a couple of fittings where mechanical control cables attach. Open it up and you may find a name and model number. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 171 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 171 | It's a "MOTOROLA" radio made in the 40's aftermarket They had there own connections, mounted on the fire wall with a head controls, Motorola had a wide range of optional heads, some could fit the dash like original equipment, Some years ago I cleaned out a radio shop that sold Motorola I've still got set like this and heads NOS, not really worth much, I use them for parts! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 34 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 34 | Thx Bill could you post a couple picks of your radio with the heads then mayby I could collect the parts from a swapmeet or at least know what im looking for.
