WKCE plays the hits from the 50's and 60's , She asked how is it playing those old songs ? I told her , Honey , They've been trapped inside of it all these years ! she's still shaking her head working on that !  A few years back I bought a NOS chrome radio face plate off ebay for $25.00 A little elbow grease and I'll give it a new home in my dash !

Good for you for saving it! Wish we had 50s/60s music on radio stations (other than XM) around here.
