I see someone moved this from the FAV forum, this IS IN REFERENCE to the restoration of my FAV
I have been looking for an RT524, most I see are junk, I picked up a nice one that came with a pile of accessories, cables, mount etc, and is supposed to work.
I was wondering about the radio bolt holes in my FAV, I would have assumed the RT524 had a symmetrical "rectangle" mounting bolt pattern, I was wrong and it turns out those odd asymmetrical holes in the radio deck match the RT524 perfectly so it did have an RT524 at one time, probably in its Army days, as I see signs that possibly a civy radio, probably a Motorola was used when it was in service with the DOE, this would make sense as I think by that point contractors were heavily involved with DOE security
