Do you have any more video of this radio in action?

[radiotoobs]

Sorry ..the video was made of a radio I fixed for a friend who lives a few hundred miles away. I no longer have it to make anymore videos.

What would you like to know ...something about its operation?

I just enjoyed seeing the mechanics of it up close. I have always thought these types of radios were so sophisticated and fun to hear about. Thanks though

Very helpful video, thanks for posting!

My wonderbar radio doesn't work.... is not easy to repair it in Italy...

WAY COOL-I love to see one of those old DELCOs do their thing. Have fixed a bunch.

When I was a kid, my dad had a 57 Caddy. It had one of those radios, with a big speaker on the floor below (looked like a 12" to me - a kid). I was facinated by it, and got yelled at for playing with it a tad bit too often. The antenna also went UP when you turn on the radio, and down when turned off. I bet many a kid got womped upside the head for doing what I liked to do, play with that neato radio. It also had electric winderz.
