Doug, very true most radios were dealer installed items, "BUT", factory
installed radios go all the way back to T/R 2, so not all radios are dealer
installed, the factory even installed electric antennas on early T/R 3's on
the "rear" fenders, the radios were "Radiomobiles" which was a subsidary of
"RCA".  "FT"
