The Ford Barn

So I'm taking all the door panels off and removing the back seats to lube the stuck windows and look what showed up!
The modern radio controls I was aware of, but no idea about the 2 boom boxes and amp....not that it matters it doesn't work and I don't where to start.
The controller works (lights up) but nothing come out of the speakers.
There are 2 electronic boxes(?) connected to the speakers which are very small and squeezed in the seat frame.
Don't think you you can appreciate frequency response rolling down the road in this vibrating box.

With all that stuff in the header you must have guessed there were speakers somewhere.

Unreal. I didn't know that they had that kind of equipment back in 1930. I guess you learn something everyday, eh? I was going to suggest that you sell it off to some young kid who has a few bucks but he probably would not go for the Big Band or Polka sounds like they had back then. I can't read the name on the display though. Is it RCA Victor? Victrola? Emerson? Motorola?
Hey, at least it won't have Rap......

I guess they had a 12 volt battery stashed somewhere to make it thump. After you get to the drive in soda shop you fire that puppy up for some tunes!
