Remember building homemade power supplies, connecting a speaker & an antenna. A built in a box & we listened to the homemade radio set for years! A great memory as a teen!🙂🙂🙂
that AM / FM Flippdial looks interesting, i think i haven't seen that in a carradio before. the reception sounds all good, many radio transmitters are received well. AM sounds like there is some interference, maybe a suppressor choke on the powercable of the radio and a few snap on ferrites on the cable from the antenna would help. amazing that after decades there is no crackling noise when turning the knobs, that is a quality made radio. classic radio in a classic truck, that would fit lookswise. the screws on the front look rusted, liquid silicon can be applied on the screws to prevent further rusting. i like the 57 chevy truck.
My first car, a 72 Chevelle 4 door with a 250 L6 motor, had an AM/FM mono radio with the flip dial selector, except it was black. It had two speakers, on in the dash and one in the rear deck with a fader control.
That's a beast of a heatsink on it. The audio output stage must be rather powerful! AM section sounds clean and clear. I wish modern radios had that good of a sound on the AM band. A 1970 Chevy van would be a pretty cool vehicle to have. Those are the cab-over ones aren't they?
