Pierce Arrow Radio

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

I have an old tube radio that has a tag on it saying “Pierce Arrow Philco” Can anyone tell me if this is appropriate for my 1934 840A Club Brougham ? Is there anyone who can go through this unit and make it a good working radio ? What is this worth ??

Thanks,

Rich

It is a 1930 or 1931 Philco correct for any 1930 or 1931 installed as new. It would be ok for a later car. Remember that was expensive and bolt on, so people would have used them in other cars till the war. 1934 radios are much more common than yours. But the earlier radio does not work as well as the 1932 and later units. I have seen several Packards and Cadillacs with a similar radio installed. Ed.

Thanks Ed,

Is there any market for this one and what might it be worth ?

Yes, there is always a market for early radios. Price can vary. With the Pierce tag, that one would bring a bit more money. I have several on the shelf, only one is as early as yours. Price range could run a wide range, text me to my cell phone and I will give you an answer. 413 530 5712
