Most of the time the old radios just need cleaned up and they are good to go!
I picked up a 52 Nash last fall. Found an add pushing the superior sound a 6 tube radio has over one with less. Radio works but the speakers are shot. 5ft antenna doesn't hurt anything either. lol

My 67 has the radio delete also. Waiting til i can scrounge up some money to hide one away somewhere.
