Len, I have seen the radio and the console properly mounted on the
transmission tounel in front of the shift lever. The radio is a PYE. Its
an AM only tube type. I have a couple of pictures around here somewhere.
If you decide to get rid of this let me know. The TR3 that had the radio
was from Calgery Canada.
