I am trying to build up my collection of old car Radios and if you have one lying around that you don't want, I will gladly take it off your hands.
Can pick up if in WA or will pay postage from the other states.
Cheers
Graham

My audio tech advised me to keep the old radio out of my 70!s vehicle, apparently they bring good money now, a sought after item for a resto etc

Compared to car audio systems today the old car radios are rubbish which is probably why no one wants your HQ radio Geoff.

The restoration market is limited in size and is an expensive option if you want a period correct looking radio with new or old innards. To fit modern innards that provide AM/FM, MP3, Bluetooth and mobile phone capability will set you back approximately $400.00 - $450.00 because the module itself costs between $250.00 - $300.00 dependant on the US dollar plus the fitting, testing and handling costs etc.

I only want the radios for my private museum that I am trying to establish

Yep, you can't "beat" the sound of valve radios.
