The 47 came with an optional radio - a model 602 which was the standard radio when ordered with a radio. When I cleaned out the trunk there was a ratty looking model 802 radio in there. I found out that it was the higher priced optional unit instead of the standard radio. I sent it off to Tayman Electrical For an AM/FM/Aux Aurora conversion. The conversion could have been done per the original 6 volt positive ground or modern 12 volt negative ground, which is what I chose of course. I got the radio back today about 12 pounds lighter with all the not needed electrical stuff removed. It looks like a brand new radio, painted the correct brown hammer tone finish with all the push buttons and knobs polished and appears to have a new face with the markings for the AM numbers installed (they are available as a reproduction). All the little scratches on the glass or plastic dial face have either been polished out or a new one installed. I forgot to take some before pictures so I’m a little bummed out about that but on the other hand, knowing what it looked like before, it looks freaking awesome! That Line In as seen in the 3rd picture will be used for my Sirius/XM converter.
