Anyone here try to do the swap themselves?
Well, of course, back-in-the-day. Each spring I would take the radio out of my 1948 Chev and install it on the fender of an Oliver tractor, where I spent most of my time. Then in the fall, swap it back.

Piece of cake. One wire to ground, one wire to power, a wire to the speaker and a wire to the coat hanger, used as the antenna.

Got three AM stations (on a clear day).
