Mark and Listers-

Thanks to Fred Thomas I have an original radio and bracket for TS981L. While a
few exist, I have only seen a very few. I believe it to be a very rare option.

Hope this helps.

 I have often wondered about the four captive nuts in the passenger footwell
 on my TR2, and the speaker cutout in the side kick panel. According to Bill
 Piggott's book, these nuts were used to mount the original radio's "valve
 unit." It sounds like the vacuum tubes were on a chassis mounted in the
 passenger footwell. The controls must have been mounted under the dash, and
 connected to the valve unit via an umbilical.
 
 Was such a radio ever actually installed in a TR2? Has anyone here ever seen
 one?
