✅ SOLVED Motorola Radio or Intercom

[Indigo Knight]

Any thoughts on this old piece of Motorola equipment? It seems to have a serial number but no model number or other markings.

I'm very familiar with vintage electronics but this is unlike any piece of Motorola equipment I have seen.

Steel case with a single wire coming out that has a metal bead marked "FUSE." Mesures 9 1/2" x 9 1/2"

Our local tractor dealer sold them, our neighbor had one in his old truck.

Judging by the Motorola logo, it's anywhere from years 1930-1955.

I would also guess older than 1955, no Conelrad marks on the dial.

Is it tube type?

Similar to the Motorola Huskee that's mounted on my old Allis-Chalmers.

Thank you everyone. It is indeed an old AM radio. I haven't decided yet if I want to sell it on eBay or at the tractor swapmeet.
