'62 radio speaker

[Michael H.]

Re: I've got a P & A 30 dated 10/66.

Yup, same as my 60's parts books. I know I HAD a radio book but someone borrowed it for a few days, about 20 years ago. A price book from the 60's would tell us if the 156 was ever available in service.

1964 RADIO PARTS BOOK P&A 5B (10/63)

Michael & Jerry the speaker listed in the 10/63 radio book for all 1963-64 Corvettes is a 7282256.

Good reference

Bob, what does it show for the '58 - '62 speaker(s)?

Re: 1964 RADIO PARTS BOOK P&A 5B (10/63)

Thanks Robert. Looks like the correct 7282156 speaker/transformer assembly was never available in service. It was serviced with the 7282256 speaker from the beginning. I wonder why GM did that?

Re: Good reference but darn long

Jerry this is going to be long. I'll give you the info as its presented since I know very little about pre 63 radios.
Below is the ID code listings and below those it crosses the code # into the speaker numbers.

CODES 68, 82 .............permanent magnet 6x9...............7270428

NOTE CODE 91 IS LISTED IN THE JAN-1965 BOOK AS FITTING 1962 CORVETTE same as the 10/63 book and I have no idea why its a different dimension.

1965 LIST PRICES ON ABOVE SPEAKERS
7270428 =$8.00

Jerry I now have a question for you = If you win the item how are you planning to have it shipped ?

[G B.]

Thanks Bob.

That's more typing than I would have done for me.

[G B.]

Delivery?

If I win the speaker, I'll probably by-pass shipping and just tell the seller to throw it directly in the trash. I doubt he will charge as much as UPS for that "service".

Re: 1964 RADIO PARTS BOOK P&A 5B (10/63)

FWIW--
I have three original speakers on my shelf--all needing reconing desperately--all believed to be from 62's originally---one is a 141, the two others are 428's.
