Portable radio w/ cradle for EK

Post by mattmy99 »

Hi all,
I'm specifically looking for a cradle to suit a Ferris super 8 portable radio.
Or, a complete portable radio with cradle. Diamond dot/Air Chief/Ferris etc
Let me know what you have.

Cheers,

Matt

There's often quite a few on ebay. Just search under 'picnic radio' in Vehicle Parts & Accessories.

Alright then, is this what you're after??? Locking cradle with key, It works when hooked up to car 12v (just bench tested it), earths through cradle :wink: I just chucked a small 9v transistor battery in it when out of the cradle but nothing happened :? (might be the wrong battery)

Locking mechanism works fine, turn the key and lift the chrome lever at the other end and it slides right out :thumbsup:

All metal casing makes it a heavy little bugger :lol:

No secrets here Matt, see if Blacky can find his first (as he's in your neighbourhood) and he did put his hand up first :wink:

Just went down to pack the radio away again into the cupboard under the bench and realised it's been there for over twenty years doing nothing :roll:

So if anyone wants it I'll ask the same price as Blacky $120 plus postage
