How to set preset stations on my PHILCO AM radio (1973 FORD)
#1

Hello... about a year ago I purchased a 1973 Ford F-100 for... $89. I've cleaned her up, keeping her original to honor the previous owner... and I've really been appreciating the original PHILCO AM radio. Surprisingly, there are a few AM stations that play good tunes... so why not use it? No one is going to break into my truck to take it.

The thing is... I don't know how to set the preset stations (push buttons) so that when I get in and I want to surf the stations for my mood music, I don't have to dial around with one hand and drive with the other.

I'm sure this is simple... and even though I've tried many different things... I don't want to break something by pulling or pushing too hard on one of the knobs or buttons. I've looked all over the web for directions or instructions and have found NOTHING.

Am I the only person too clueless to figure this out? If not, whoever can answer this might be helping out some other people like myself.

Thank you for having this wonderful forum.

Sincerely,

Doobers

I'd try replacing the bulb first and if that doesn't do it, then change the 35Z5 and see if the problem goes away.NostalgiaRadioTime — 12:28 AM
