In response to an earlier comment about transistors. I don't know what newer Wonderbars are like, but my '62 has tubes. The standard radio that year was all transistor, but they still had tubes in the Wonderbar. I had a '63 Wonderbar that I stole a part out of, but I forget if it had tubes or not.

"Except for a rectifier tube in the signal-seeker circuit, the radio is now fully transistorized for instant reception and long life." So says the '63 Facts Book. That's consistent with your '62 being a tube unit.
