General TR WTB - Triumph AM radio.

[Zitch]

Hello,


Any one have an original AM radio they are looking to sell? Or something similar?

Who needs this FM, MP3, Bluetooth, or Pandora. I want it old fashioned.


I want to put it back in my TR4 the way it used to be. single speaker and all.


Thanks,

Certainly you want to buy from someone here or someone you know. eBay listings invariably say 'not tested' which (considering how simple it is to test one) tells me they are junk.

I've got a couple of period correct British Motor Corporation AM radios that I think I bought for $10 - here if interested.

Not certain how period correct you want to go, but depending on what year TR4 you have, it may have been built in the cold war Conelrad-era. Between 1953 and 1963, all radios sold in the United States were required to have the two CONELRAD frequencies marked on the dial.



The Motorola on the bottom has the markings.

This would be for a 63 CT16xxx

Thx,

This is what I received in a box with my Triumph. Anybody recognize it?
Thanks

Are there AM radio stations that still play music? It's been a while since I twirled the AM dial... I know there are a few news and talk stations, but music to listen to while driving?

My problem with my modern digitally tuned radio is, due to the long reach of AM signals, the tuner stops at every interval. As such, it takes forever to scan the dial for a decent strength station - something that can quickly be accomplished by spinning the tuning knob and listening for the lack of noise!

I suppose that depends on what sort of music you want.

Where I live there is a public radio station affiliated with the NPR outlet that is all classical music. There are also several AM stations with lively Latino music. Probably others too but really - if you have a 50-year-old AM radio, a single speaker and solid-core ignition wires - you're not really going to enjoy quality sound whatever station you chose.

Pat,

I think what you have is an original Radiomobile AM radio that came with the TR3.

I have an AM radio from my '63 TR4 that I'd be willing to part with. I'm not sure it works, since I don't have the speaker. Picture below. Not sure what it's worth, since I can't find any for sale anywhere.
