Technical Cool Radio

How cool is this....never seen one, just thought I would pass it on.

 

What’s the origin?

 

Thats the one @mctim64 posted on FB and Instagram. Cool unit

 

Steering wheel finger tip control radio! That's cool!

 

Is it art deco or from the Jetson's? Love it.

 

Where do you insert the 8 track?

 

So dang, is it from a production car, or aftermarket?

 

Silly, its an AM/Bluetooth controller!

 

Ah, my bad.

 

that is cool! i have always liked the radio's that mount on the column, but that one is unique

 

There's a few HAMBers that could use those "SENSITIVITY" & "TONE" controls.

 

Everything old is new again!

 

I knew an old maid that kept one of those in her nightstand.

 

I have seen that same radio on mid to late 30's Oldsmobiles. Always thought it was a factory accessory.

 

Art Delco

 

Where is that music coming from?

 

That's a unique piece. HRP

 

prob a 4 trk

 

I gotta have one now! Neat piece!

 

looks like they had a few different mount designs. And it's missing the big box that contains the radio...this is just the control.
