Default 1935 ford radio

Can anyone shed any light as to what is needed to connect the "Control head" to the tube set on the original radio for this model?

Should be two flexible conduits on the control head that plug in to the side of the tube chassis....

Jack-

The two control heads of the '35 radio cables are different. One has a spade end the other has a slot. These cable ends match the radio control switches inside the radio.

Probably the best way to find the cables is on eBay..
Currently there are three 35/36 Ford radio heads listed on eBay..
Look under "1936 Ford , then narrow the search to 1936 Ford Radio.
