I'm pretty sure my BJ8's radio was dealer-installed; the vinyl around
the hole in the console was cut haphazardly. I haven't had it out
recently, but IIRC there are some markings indicating it's a Motorola,
which I've heard was often the case. Again, IIRC, it's pos. gnd. only.

<p>Most likely the radios would have been after-market. The radios
were valve radios (most were two very bulky and heavy units with
the amplifier/power supply often fitted in the engine
compartment) until the mid/late '50's, followed by radios with
valves and transistors combined (most still two units but less
bulky and fitted inside the cabin) and the full transistor radio
