type (for sale by the way). The radio (original) stopped working. I
quickly reversed the install to positive ground. Two days later the
radio worked but had no volume. Two days after that all was back to
normal.

I suppose there is a logical explaination such as dodgy lucas connectors

Electronics back in 1952 were not self healing. Still aren't (well except
for some film type caps but they aren't damaged by reverse polarity
anyway).
