[Roadsters] Testing the AM radio

[Tom Hendricksen]

Ritch,

I assume you connected either an automotive antenna, or a wire into the
antenna connector.  AM radio's don't work will without an antenna.

If that does not fix your sound problem you may have a radio with a circuit
problem.  Keith Williams' father has begun to repair these radios for us.
If you can't get it going send Keith a note.

I have a factory radio for a 67 1300 pickup that I will be testing in much
the same manner as you described.  If it works I will see if there is anyone
interested in it.  It is likely very similar to the roadster radio with a
horizontal escutcheon (dial face) rather than vertical as in used in the
high windsield roadsters.
