I have several and restore them as a member of an alabama restoration society specializing in car and table tube radios. if you just need knobs, I have those,too.

stevepet

Thanks for the quick reply.
I need the whole box and dice. Have just purchased A 5w wasp and want to install correct radio. 
Thank you

Those are easy to find but you will need to drill a hole in the roof. 21st Century Hudson sells new antennas but you would need to get knob assembly and wire.

stevepet

Thanks.
What do you mean by knob assembly.

I believe ski's is talking about this knob and assembly that control swinging the antenna up and down

stevepet

Thank you so much

I have a 50 Pacemaker (short wheelbase). I believe the radio is shorter in length than the radios in the full size Hudsons, less room between the heater box and the dash.  I don't know if there is a difference in the 52 Wasp radios or not.  Someone that knows for sure may chime in here.

stevepet

Hello horse any updates on radio?

Uncle Josh

nawp, short wheelbase differences were all in front of the firewall.
