HI:
I'm also in need of a key for my Transitone 5 and my 3. Were the key's all the same or not ,I'm not sure ,Many early auto radios had simple keys ,somewhere not, the 1932 Chevrolet did not have a simple key they used the same lock with tumblers as the ignition and door locks I've taken the locks a changed the tumblers to match the keys.
Generally if the radio has a tube for a rectifier, as the T5 does, it will play on positve or negative ground. When you have a syhcroness vibrator polaity becomes a problem, but even some of these old radios had a polaity switch[or wires to changed] to - or pos. ground, BILL
