WW-2 radio for jeep

[GI.]

I am looking for a common WW-2 era jeep radio just for display on my GPW, don't care about the inside, just the out side only, switches etc.
don't care about the condition it's in. anyone know where I might find one ? Thank's.

Not mine but, go on E-Bay and punch in military radio BC-659J. If you are looking for the correct power supply unit for the radio, punch in PE-120, there are a few listing for those. These type radios, power supplies working or not are NOT CHEAP.

I will post here GI instead of PMing you.

As noted above the SCR-610 or the SCR-510 may be the most popular.

Here is the sticky on radios... updated.

SCR-510-( )
FM, 20-28MHz.
BC-620 Receiver / Transmitter, IF 2.88MHz, TX continuously tunable, receiver crystal controlled,13 tubes, 2 channels. Requires 60, 22.5 and 4.5 VDC.

SCR-610-( )
FM, 27-39MHz.
BC-659-( ), Receiver / Transmitter, manpack, 27.0-38.9MHz, FM, IF 9.3 MHz, 14 tubes, Requires 60, 25.5, -4.5 VDC.

There are a lot of radios on that list and way more on the link... find one and google the different models, antennas and equipment and buy what you want and can afford. I will say it helps to use a radio for the military group you associate with... infantry, armor , Army, Navy, USMC.

And here is a thread discussing the exact topic some ten years ago.
