Wonderbar Radio

[Ty T.]

I have a Wonerbar radio question and wondered if someone could help me?
Does a 58-60 Wonderbar appear the same as a 61-62 Wonderbar other than the push buttons? In other words if I bought a 61-62 and replaced the push buttons, would this radio appear correct for my 58? I'd like a correct one for possibly judging on down the road, but may settle for something else in the mean time. Thanks in advance for your help

There is definitely a difference in the case and configuration of the cans etc. that hang onto it. I dont remember whether the face is interchangable or not.

62 doesn't have the heat sink, etc. on the left side--it's relocated to the rear.
Face is the same, 58-62.

Thanks for your input Wayne. I suspect there is a difference as well. I guess I should rephrase my question for others wishing to input their knowledge. To have a radio for my 58 that looks correct (even though the date may not be correct) what years will work for me?
Thanks again!

As I was responding to Wayne it appears that Mike may have also have answered my question. Any other input welcome. Thanks Wayne and Mike and a tip of the hat!
