    Description

    We run across old Motorola Volumatic radios from time to time, but this one
    is the first I've ever seen. It's been fitted with a faceplate adapter to fit 1955
    model Ford cars. As the pics show, the regular tuning dial and controls are
    still there and the adapter simply slides over the volume and tuning shafts
    and bolts to the radio chassis. There is a lead wire that connects to the car's
    dash light harness.  As the photos show, the unit has seen its share of use...
    along with a good bit of dirt and some surface rust, both the volume and tuning
    shafts are bent at the knobs and the tuning shaft is missing one fastening fork.
    The dial face has a small scratch at the 5:00 position but is otherwise sound,
    as is the chrome plating on the bezel.
    The radio itself is the standard 6M 6-volt 6-tube (6BD6 6BE6 6BD6 6CR6 6AQ5 6X4) model.
    Our only 6-volt power supply decided to take the week off so we have no way to check it
    and must therefore offer it for sale "AS-IS" (plus, it's 66 years old) If you're a restorer or
    collector, this could be your next project!  We welcome any questions you may have, don't
    hesitate to shoot us a message any time!
    Buyer pays Priority Mail postage rate according to Zip code, we always try to find the
    most economical means and ship within 24 hours after receiving payment.
    Sorry, we are not shipping to other than the 50 US states and territories at this time.
