Dean that sounds right. Your question caused me to ask my niece what Ipod meant and she just rolled her eyes and said look it up on wikipedia. I did and they tell you what it does but not what it stands for.

IPOD for this group
I Parkerize Overhead Ducks I think I'm officially a nut case when it comes to old junk. With great care, I have managed to open up the old radio and now I'm wondering if it can be put back into service. The radio museum has a schematic for the darn thing and there are no printed circuit boards in there. They even list where you can still get old tubes etc. The guts are pretty bad but........ Will put up some pics later Maybe Charlie has a 1938 something-or-other that could use a beautifully rusted radio with a shiny chrome face plate being its only saving grace. But the potential to be something wonderful still intrigues. Need more coffee. Cheers, Jack

jack ive got an old 39 mercury that would feel at home with a plymouth radio but it would be a shame to cross breed the pair...i know you are a good tinker so i would love to see you fix that old radio to play those golden oldies for us...for sure its a good lookin old piece... ive been workin in my shop trying to make me a place to put some of my finds i have made and bought and traded over the years...ive even got a brand new 1952 chev sterring wheel hanging on my wall...friend gave that thing to me 38 to 40 years ago he said it would fit my 50 model ford coupe but it did not fit...i still got the wheel but the 50 has been long gone....so hang onto that old radio id like to hear it play when i come after my pie..... charlie

Charlie, if that Chevy steering wheel is the 'optional' one with the "butterfly" horn ring it is worth well North of $300

Charlie, there may be no cross breeding involved. I just threw out the idea of a '38 Plymouth but I have no idea who was using RCA Victor radios. Maybe they all were. Anyway, it has taken months to get to this point, just a bit of time here and there. If I ever get a tune out of it and you are here for pie, you can take it back to see if it fits the Merc. Then, I would have to come by your place one day, you and I hop in the Merc and chase that new bunch of quail that are making a nuisance of themselves with all that noise in the morning. We could listen to some crackly music on the road too.
Cheers, Jack
