Re: removing a gauge cluster

Re: Latest acquisition 1936 3W.
Great looking coupe. I only have a front and back picture of my Dad’s 36 coupe so I don’t know if it was a 3 or 5 window.

Re: Salisbury, Marland
I found a trusted family owned garage within walking distance of my house, they do the oil changes and mandatory NYS safety inspections, the rest of the work I do myself.

Re: 1940 Ford Zenith Radio
Capacitors go bad over a period of time, you’ll also need an antenna hooked up. Back in the day you could go to a drug store and test the vacuum tubes yourself. Do you have a schematic of the radio?
