Car radio
The genuine car radio was a 8BTR model, as written on the radio body, and was made by Bendix Corporation, an American company which existed between 1924 and 1983, until it was bought up.
It is a « negative ground » model, since the car is an American version with also a « negative ground » battery, as opposed to English cars which are usually « positive ground ».
The existing documentation tells that this radio model, which was produced the same year than the car, in 1968, was made for being installed on Triumph cars produced by the British Leyland group, and only allows to listen to AM broadcasting. Unfortunately, the phased stopping of AM broadcasting has been announced from 2016, which make this antique car radio unusable anyway. |
