i took this to an antique shop and they took it apart and said it still works. I am not sure what kind of a vehicle this is out of. It says 1946 inside, the push buttons are memory, but I can't find out anything else about this. It says Motorola 605. Can anyone help me?

I did see that one, but not sure what it can fit into or anything else
These were early "aftermarket" radios, you'd put one of these in when you'd finished paying off the car.
do you know if they are worth anything? I have no idea what to do with it.
I thought you were a collector!
No, I am not a collector, this was my grandfathers and I don't know what to do with it. Thought I could get some info on here as to what it is to, places that buy stuff like this, so on.
Try Ebay aandj . There is always a market there.BTW nice radio.
Thank you Hedgewalker, i have put it on there, thank you for your help.
