Ron,
What do you need a speaker for, It's just for looks, right? You are not
actually going to use this radio, are you? ;-0 The speaker is 5x7, and you
can find them on the net starting at $15. I bought a dual coaxial speaker
to handle my cheapo stereo for about $50. Two speakers in one frame,
concentric, and it works great. And, make sure the radio and car have the
same ground! As for the fuse, my current Panasonic from the '80s calls for a
5 amp quick blow fuse.
When my wife and I bought our '65 in 1969, we had the dealer put in an AM
radio for no charge to close the deal for $1895. That's a whopping $11,178
in today's dollars. I can't believe we paid that much!!!! That radio
lasted about a year, and then I put in an AM/FM radio.
I still have that AM/FM pushbutton British Leyland radio from the '70's
(state of the art!). You've prompted me to see if it still works!

(me).

Subject: [Mgs] Radio question
I have purchased a period British Motor Corporation AM radio for my 66 MGB
and
I need to find out what size fuse I should use in the power line and what
size
or type of speaker to buy. Other than a few numbers, there is no other
information on the case of the radio. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
