I just picked this up yesterday, the guy told me it worked when he pulled it 40 years ago. I plan to hook it up and test it later in the week. Taking offers, obviously if I verify it still works I will expect more for it. Make me an offer I can't refuse before I test it.

Radio tested tonight. Pulls in stations good on AM and FM, wonderbar feature scans like it's supposed to. Listing on eBay tomorrow night.

If there's a paper label with a model number on it, put it in the ad also. Such as [93BFW1].

The label reads 93BFW1

Just being honest here 399.00 is high for this. If you get it congrats, but even am/fm radios w/ boosters don't go for that much. At any rate good luck w/ sell

Are there any other radios like this currently for sale anywhere that are priced less?

dnmfranco

I recently had two for sale on here. The radio with the booster has yet to sell for 150.00.

Statistically 184 have viewed your post so I'm sure a good majority checked out your link on ebay.
Here is my suggestion to get an idea what it is worth. Set your ebay auction with a reserve of 399.00. Start bidding at 25.00 or whatever see where it goes. Where it goes will give you an idea of what people are willing to pay. Hope this helps Dean

I prefer to do it the way the Salvation Army Store does it, I start the price high then lower it a little each time I relist it. It looks like the late 50s early 60s AM wonderbars bring the most money for some reason. Maybe people with the later 60s cars don't care as much about thier dashes looking period correct?

dnmfranco

Don't care about dashes looking correct, don't necessarily agree w that. Am radios were predominant . Fm stations were not plentiful during that time as clearly they are now. People buy them mostly to upgrade from am to fm

What is this booster you mention? Is that the heat sinky thing on the side of my radio or something that just your radio has?

dnmfranco

no, a booster is a separate power amp which was mounted in the glove box

cambrian

It looks like my radio was set up to power three speakers, one dash and two on the rear package tray. Was the booster set up to power more speakers on the door?

dnmfranco

yes your radio is capable of that, no more power to radio

The 'booster' is actually a stereo detector. It separates the incoming signal into two separate channels for stereo...front and rear. I paid $300. to have my 93BFW1 restored (not stereo).
