[Roadsters] Testing the AM radio

[Keith0alan at aol.com]

Ritch,

    Dad is indeed repairing them. We also have a few on  hand to exchange.
I would have to check to see if he has any vertical ones.  Without an
antenna is should still make static. Let me know if you are  interested.

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.
