1932 Ford Radio
Would anybody know how to remove the key from a 1932 Ford Grisby & Grunow radio header control on the steering column I cannot remove the one off my control at all.

Re: 1932 Ford Radio
Ian, If it is the type shown in you drawing it should pull straight out. You might have to give it a hard tug and it should come completely clear. All it does is open or close a set of electrical contacts in the power circuit. Regards, Kevin.

Re: 1932 Ford Radio
I have talked to other owners of this radio and they are having problems with the contacts on the Header control too.

Re: 1932 Ford Radio
From your photo rotating while pulling may help if not try some penetrating lube

Re: 1932 Ford Radio
Ian already asked me via email. The radio key should be removable with only a little bit of resistance, but in fairness it was more than forty years ago since I last had a '32 radio. The '33 Grigsby-Grunow glove box radio also had a similar key. For sure, those keys are removable without the use of tools, however 90 years of oxidation could be a very effective glue.

Re: 1932 Ford Radio
I'd try lock dry lube - comes in an aerosol can. Stuff is great and will not leave a residue.

Re: 1932 Ford Radio
I have contacted two other owners of 1932 cars fitted with radio and they cannot remove the key.
I have dismantled the header control by breaking the knob and have found that it does not have a removable key so it seems that the later models do not have a removable key. Now too making up parts. |
