Does this set have the two redish tuning dials mounted in the center of the dash? radio tuned in stages,Or does it have the "T" handle mounted on the right side of the dash? , I have a 1930 Transitone and some parts to the 29 Transitone, in your metal box under the floor is where your "B" batterys go Auto radios did not have power supplies until 1932, first was the motor generator, then the vibrator power supply .
Was this radio built by AUTOMOBILE RADIO CORPS. or PHILCO? THE 1929 and 1930 Transitones where built by ARC and not Philco, the first Philco Transitone was built in 1931 ,model TRANSITONE 3 , if you have a 29 Transitone it would originally have a horn speaker the 30 has the drum , I also have a 1931 Transitone 3, made by Philco that also uses the "B" batterys.
I have the service and installation manual for the 1930 Transitone and the same with a "TEMPLET" for the Transitone 3. I'm interseted with talking to you PLEASE contact me, BILL
