72-73 am/fm radio, pulled from a 73 fury that has sat for 35+ years. All wires are in good shape, but it's untested. $40 plus shipping from 40165. Thanks

Note to everyone about car radios: Do NOT hook it to 12 volts to "see if it works" without a speaker or speakers of the correct impedance hooked to it.

From the Interweb:
Testing an old car radio without speakers connected can potentially damage the radio's amplifier. Without a speaker load, the amplifier's output transistors can experience a no-load condition, leading to excessive voltage and potentially damaging the amplifier chip. It's generally recommended to test the radio with speakers or dummy loads (like resistors) to provide a proper impedance for the amplifier.

Also, I've found that these old solid-state radios seem to work forever.
