1940's Motorola 401 Car Radio CBG Amp

Vintage 1940's Motorola Car Radio, 2 watt Guitar Fuel amp, vintage Strat volume tone/gain knobs, green l.e.d. on/off light, chrome carry handle, 9 volt battery box in the back. The original 4x6 speaker was in really good shape so I was able to use it, these old speakers sound amazing. I love when they are in this good of shape to re-use.

MD, I like the line up, how big are the speakers in the drive in's...I'm thinkin 3.5 inches. Remember the "all weather ones" with the built in heaters?? Probably need 2 or 3, 9v batteries for that one, but great for Winter outdoor stage gig's LOL. I see them on Evilbay but the prices are too high to want to dick with.

Thumper, I've built and sold a LOT of the Drive-in movie speaker amps. Sent them to England, Germany, Canada and there's a bunch floating around here in the States. The people my age (OLD) remember those speakers and it harkens back to some really good times so they gotta have em'........plus they sound awesome!
