Elite Veteran Posts: 943 | I have several 1957-1958 Chrysler radios, in varying conditions including at least 1 very nice working one. Have 4 or 5 available. I want to trade one for a nice 57-58 Desoto radio. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 943 | No one needs a radio or has a 58 Desoto one? | ||

Expert Posts: 3887 Location: Northen Virginia | 57-58 Desoto radios are very popular on ebay and go very cheap. If you have a Chrysler 7 pushbuttons I'm interested. | ||

Veteran Posts: 145 | Garrett, I have a standard five button model for a '57-58. Chrome is pretty decent with only a few very small pits. It plays, but the dial slips a little. | ||

Elite Veteran,, James Passed away March 2021, He will be Missed Posts: 1028 Location: Melbourne, Australia | Garret make sure you get a 58 Type the 57 fit the same but are not as good . You need Model 853 for a standard 58 type 5 button radio . east way tio tell is a 57 has like a fluted power pak on the back , where as the 58 doesn't . The radio should be stamped model 853 anyway . Model 846 is a standard 57 type | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 943 | Brad I might take you up on that for some of my other radios Can anyone give me instructions on how test these? I tried to test a few but I'm not sure I'm doing it right | ||

Expert Posts: 1737 Location: Hay Lakes, Alberta, Canada | Chances are they don't work anymore...the electrolytic capacitors in them have long ago dried up. And even if they work, a capacitor could fail at any time, which could take out a tube or the output transistor. It's best to service it before installation in your car. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 943 | It has to be a 4 OHM speaker? 1 lead to power 1 lead ground to case is what I did | ||
