| 説明 | 1961 Cadillac Wonderbar dash radio (model: Delco 7276605). This radio only picked up AM stations. FM stations on the radio would become optional beginning in the 1963 model.The first knob on the left controlled power, volume, and tone. Rotating the knob turned the radio on and increased or decreased the volume. The thick ring behind the knob controlled the tone. Rotating that ring to the left made bass predominate, while rotating to the right made treble tones predominate.The second knob is labeled "SPEAKER" and controlled the antenna, tuning of the radio station, and front & rear speakers. Push the knob in resulted in the antenna being raised, while pulling it back out made the antenna come back down. The antenna was composed of three metal rods that extended upward using a nylon cord and a motor. Rotating the knob adjusted the station. The ring behind the knob controlled which speaker was being used: rotating to the right operated the rear speaker, left rotation controlled the front speaker, and balancing the ring made both speakers work in balance.The remaining part of the radio was the station number, selector bar, and push buttons, which is covered and surrounded with a plastic and metal shield. The thin metal bar at the top controlled hairline fine-tuning of the station. There is also a small sensitivity toggle that slides from left to right. Moving the toggle to the left made it so the radio only picked up on the strong stations. Moving the toggle to the right allowed the radio to pick up weaker stations.The 5 push buttons allowed for certain stations to be selected and at a push of the button, would return the radio to that station. The selection was achieved by tuning into the station, then grip the button and pull out, then push the button all the way in. This sets the station.The 1961 and 1962 dash radios were similar, but different enough that one could not easily be swapped out for the other. Between the two models the knobs are positioned slightly differently and the plate over the radio with the text "TONE" and "SPEAKER" in the 1961 would be absent in the 1962. Also the trim plate was different between the years.In "Forever Knight," Nick's Caddy is the 1961 model but has various components from a 1962, which would include the dash and the dash radio. The dash radio trim piece lacked the text above the knobs. |
