Radios for the Dodge WC52

When a radio amateur buys a classic car, classic radios have to go into it! The BC191/BC312 and BC652/BC653 were the radios used in those days, so finding those was the next project.

Many crystals are needed

We used the Dodge to get a BC653/BC652

It still looks very good
