Great to hear the radio works Leigh. I assume you have the original radio.
i think it is classy, especially the way you can take it out of the car for
picnics. Mine is out of the car as I do not have speakers in it but it
works though it could do with repair as the maximum volume is faily faint.
Do you happen to know what the carry strap for it looks like? I hope to
make up a new one but it would be nice to make one that looks like the
orinal strap.

I finally got the original-style antenna put into my '64. It towers a
stunning 52" above the fender when fully extended - reminds me of the old
"Trans-Atlantic" short-wave radios. Got it all hooked up and hit the
switch. Crackle. Finally figured out that the switch only works when I
hold it half way in. Tuned to a station and heard a woman's voice.......
in Chinese. The local Chinese-language AM station. Tuned around for some
Japanese, but no luck. The radio sounds surprisingly good.
Trivia note: the 1500 has an amplifier circuit built into the speaker box.
