I just picked up a 1920s/1930s radio head (the tuner) part, it has no key to lock it in the off. It mounts off the steering-wheel. I am giong to put this on a 1930 Jordan (Great line 90). What I would like to know from you all out there is if I up load a photo of this thing, do you think you could help with info of what I have?? Now that I am thinking of it I should have looked over the items at that yard-sale better, there was some 40s/50s home radios there mabey they had the speeker part in the pile. O-well, better luck next time. I have looked over this item and can not find any #s or makers name on it. The face has no info to go by or anything on the housing. I have been all over the books and the web but have not seen anything close to what I have. I just seen this up at the Iola, WI car show this July for $10. I think this was a good price. This is NOT A PHILCO item....

If it is just the head, you are missing the radio, which includes the speaker, but all you have are the controls
