Re: 12 grand radio
That would be a fair price if it had been restored but it needs a LOT of work.

I was recently involved in the restoration of a 10 kilowatt HF transmitter and that took 8 people 5 years. I wouldn't want to pay for that job...lol |

Re: 12 grand radio
I don't know of anywhere you can get a properly restored 33 radio for $500. 12k for a 32 fixer is a bit excessive.

Re: 12 grand radio
I bet if the caps were replaced it would play. Looks pretty clean. I don't know about 12k tho.

If I had to pay 12k for a radio, I would install a hidden digital system. For 12 K I could get that 1930 model A coup I was looking at! |

Re: 12 grand radio
It's only money. If you have all the money you will ever need and you don't have all the radios you need, buy it. Then you will have the best of both worlds.

Re: 12 grand radio
At least both referenced radios are really '32s judging from the speaker brackets. The most commonly encountered so-called '32 radios are actually '33 models with much simplified speaker brackets. (The glove box radio was not released by Ford until August, 1933; that's what those rectangular depressions in the floors of '33s are for, namely where to cut to create the openings to insert the motor generator and receiver boxes)
Both referenced radios are incomplete as they are missing their original running board antennas. The antenna with the $12K version is a replacement and does not conform to the original except in general appearance. (See page A-19-7 in The 1932 Ford Book.) |

Re: 12 grand radio
And memories... Back in the late 1970's a swapper at the LA roadster show was showing off the NOS 1932 radio head he had found in a $1 box. Happy guy.

Re: 12 grand radio
It pukes gold coins . . . right outta the damn speaker . . . really it does . . .
But then again, sometimes I wonder at the prices I've had to pay for some "rare" 32 engine parts - it is all supply and demand in the end . . . |
