Re: IML: 1962 lebaron radio

Hi Bernie,

I think your radio was manufactured at Bendix. I have a 60 Crown and my 
radio was stamped 403 (if memory serves me right).
I don't know if your radio is still a hybrid one (valves and transistors) or 
a full transistor version.
Allthough they might look simple, they are pretty state of the art for that 
time!
There are a lot of repair shops that can repair the radio, and you could 
have added FM too without changing the looks of the radio.
Mine was converted to FM stereo (4 x 40Watts) and I am very happy with it!! 
Mention that not much is going on at the AM band in my country..
