Rare opportunity to buy a killer prewar balloon tire Top O’ The Line accessory.
Motorola B - 150 model
I believe this radio shell was first introduced by Motorola in 1939 as commissioned for police bicycles. By 1940 Motorola issued a civilian model through 1941.
As a heavy stamped metal tube radio at the onset of US involvement in WW2 I’m sure this radio was an easy mark at decommissioning time. I know of a handful of these kits out there on some heavy hitting shelves but they certainly don’t come up often.
The good:
Original paint case with very nice visible water decal intact.
Both mounting brackets!! With rubber washers as mentioned in ad below.
The bad:
Both knob mounts intact but original knobs are gone.
Missing antenna end which would attach to fender.
Missing battery pack though it looks quite rudimentary.
Paperwork outlining the missing pieces is out there, I can probably convince an owner of that schematic info to share with new owner.
$900 shipped CONUS OBO from Detroit
Open to trade in part or whole towards super cool early stuff, primarily 1890’s - 1910’s
Driving from Detroit to Richmond on Friday and flying back to Detroit Saturday just FYI.
Check it out! Ultimate shelf piece!
