1940 ford deluxe radio

How do you get power to radio from harness or switch

My 1940 radio is wired to the firewall block where the ignition resistor and circuit breaker is located. It’s wired to the far right post which is the hot side of the circuit breaker. The wire to the radio has an inline fuse.

Thank you HD! Will follow that advice and see if I have some tunes!!

Maybe no tunes, but you will get crop reports or Spanish programming depending on where you are.

Seriously, the last decent AM station up here (North-Central Minnesota) disappeared about 15 years ago.

ha, maybe THAT's the reason a couple of my 2007 model cars with otherwise excellent sound systems were so terrible when trying to tune in an AM station. and i thought it was because the manufacturers were on some kind of cost-cutting crusade! smh.

The power wire gets attached to the left terminal on the circuit breaker underneath the dash.
