That depends what you want.
Do you want a period radio which would normally be AM only or do you
want FM as well? Mono or Stereo?
What kind of output do you want? Period radio's are about 5W. Later 90's
radio's pump out up to 25W modern radio's go way beyond that. A separate
amplifier can help out of course. Some early radio's have a DIN socket
that can be used as an input for your I-pod/phone. This was originally
intended for an accessory e.g. tape deck or gramophone etc. These are
usually the German radio's like Grundig, Blaupunkt, Schaub-Lorenz/ITT,
some Philips and Japanese radio's.
Post 1960 radio's are fully transistorized.
Let me know what you want and I can send some pictures. I have hundreds
of old radio's starting from the mid-thirties. Many are for sale. Mainly
German/Dutch/Japanese made. Some AM radios with 8-track player from
Radiomobile (UK) or Voxson (Italy).
You can source them locally at specialists or through ebay. Use Google
to find them. There are several suppliers of refurbished/restored
radio's in the UK and in Germany.
Shipping from Europe should be around $30 up to 2kg or $45 up to 5kg
insured up to $550.
Go for a speaker that fits properly in the space provided and is rated
at about twice the radio output. For a classic radio a 10-15W speaker is
fine. A very high rating may lead to a weak and distorted sound. Do not
expect super quality sound like from a modern radio.
