1955 Chevy Radio



OK ~ Can the old radio rancharoo do anything with THIS beast?  Hummm 'cus you want an original in that '55 Chevy?  Sure, Why Not?
Front - I like the cold war CD markers!
 Yup that is a radio all rite....


The main things,  I think,  will be the capacitors, vibrator, and controls.  Hopefully, the tubes should be common ca. 1950's:



Oh yeah man,  we've seen these tubes before down on the R/R.  That should be no problem.  Humm are there any schematics?



Yeap, thar she blows!  Chevy changed the electrical design very little even with the pushbutton version, that almost makes it easy.  Oh, and I found some (mostly un-needed) alignment data!



Test Points/Adjustments

Voltages




This is a great source of old chevy radio stuff right here and now (woof!-woof):

As they say: "...Stay tuned"  I'll put up some progress reports for those brave enough to follow this rebuild!
