These radio's were held in the same way modern ones are. On each
side of the radio there should be a small screw hole about a 10-32 if I
recall. If the mounting brackets are missing, which I assume they are,
then you can make new ones out of sheet metal or a plain angle bracket.
The back is held via a metal band with a bunch of holes in it. You can buy
the stuff at any hardware store. It attaches to a small bolt on the back.
