There was a Triumph radio offered recently on Australia EBay, check it out
at:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1689062853&r=0&t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=1011613047&indexURL=0&rd=1
It was fully transistorised and clearly has the Triumph name, but is +ve or
-ve earth opening the possibility that it was for a +ve earth (i.e. earlier)
Triumph. Do you know if this is this a later style radio, or is it correct
for a TR4 era Triumph?
I have seen 1 other radio near identical to the one on Ebay fitted to a car
(only the two knobs seem to differ), it was fitted to David Clarke's
concours TR5 here in Sydney. A blurred picture of it can be found at the
bottom of the page at:

BTW many thanks for all the info on radios, its an interesting area of our
cars' history.
Cheers,
Michael
