    G'day Digger,
    be very careful about applying any power to the old wireless, as you risk frying the circuitry/components. It's operating voltage needs to be carefully determined, and also whether positive or negative earth.
    Unless it has been re-furbished the 'insides' are getting brittle, caps leaking, and wiring corroded etc.
    Only proceed with caution ! Send me a PM for further advice.

    I was told these are 40's - late 50's manufacture?
    I have no 6v cord, so was thinking of 240/12v invertor tucked into car somewhere...
    I have a brown one also Digger. Mine does not work yet and it is going in my 1949 80".

    It is a Ferris Model 74. See here:

    74 Car Radio Ferris Bros. Pty Ltd.; Sydney, build 1945&ndash - This is a great site!

    98/146/1 Car radio and power lead, portable, model 74, metal/ glass/ electronic components/ rubber/ paper, Ferris Bros Pty Ltd, Australia, 1947 - Powerhouse Museum Collection

    I just remembered - my late aunt worked for the company at Brookvale in Sydney and got me one of those removeable transistorised ones for my 2A station Wagon around 1970, got upgraded to an AWA Clarion radio/cassette system later
