Hey all,
Thanks for information. I think I'll skip getting an original radio for now. It would just be too much trouble to bring everything back to positive ground for the sake of a radio that only receives talk radio around here.
I am interested in looking into the modern reproductions but wasn't able to find one on the website you mentioned Julie. Do they look identical to the stock radio? I've seen some advertised that fit the opening but had a very different display.
