Nice score, mate. You got some rare beasts there. The top one is a manual control for the FB EK range, BUT, it is the "Commercial" fascia model. This is rare, VERY rare. You will note, that at each end of the radio fascia, it is actually rounded & finished off. Hmmm, how to explain? On the FB EK "Special" range, they had an aluminium feature fascia that connected up to each side of the speedo / fuel / idiot light housing & flowed out from each side. If no raadio was installed, it had a blank that fitted in & flowed in with the fascia. If a radio WAS installed, it flowed in with that trim as well. On the "Standards" & Commercials (Utes & vans), this trim wasn't there. This is where this radio was used. I have only ever seen 2 others (One NOS that I had). If this confuses you, I can try & get some scans of a Manual fascia I have for a "Special" so you can see the difference. The second one is a Manual control for an EJ EH (I am 95% sure of this, but will stand corrected). Goodscore. Rob J Title: Re: HELP!! What are these radios from???

Don't mention it, Holdenit! ::) If you ask a question, then use the reply I provide verbatim in an Ebay listing for that item, at least be polite enough to say "Thanks for the info" or acknowledge in some way the help provided. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32057&item=4563315343&rd=1 "YOU have only ever seen 2 others"? ::) Disgruntled Rob. >:( Title: Re: HELP!!

Rusty Title: Re: HELP!! What are these radios from??? Post by: 4hammers on July 26, 2005, 05:46:20 AM Why do you feel the need to put your bib into this, Rusty?
I wasn't talking to you, if I wanted any ..... .... ..., I would ask politely for your witty & often funny input ;D Maybe you should go & Police the offensive posters of FB EK related stuff. They are devilishly offensive. ::) Rob Title: Re: HELP!! What are these radios from??? Post by: HARKO on July 26, 2005, 08:34:34 AM 4Hammers how many people on this forum have you had a disagreement with ? ?
Title: Re: HELP!! What are these radios from??? Post by: 4hammers on July 26, 2005, 09:19:11 AM A few I suppose, Harko. But you may well note, that those people have also offended others as well, over & over again. I just find myself able to air my grievences. I didn't think I had been in a beef with you though....had I?
Long story with Rusty. This fella "Holdenit" asks for some help identifying a few radios, I oblige & he lists my reply, "Cut & Paste" style on ebay without so much as a "Thanks for the help", or a "Heads up, the radios are on eBay". Does Rusty need to get involved? Don't think so. I have edited the previous reply to Rusty comment. Rob Title: Re: HELP!! What are these radios from??? Post by: HARKO on July 27, 2005, 02:09:30 AM lol I like how you edited that ...
Nah no beefs here just seeing things from the overall picture point of veiw and thinking of how many constructive long term guys have dissapeared off the forum because of bickering amongst us . I can see how I took the rusty jive wrong now and yeah Id be chewed from the cut n pasting too ,sorry mate . I just logged on and thought Oh 4hammers is blueing again.. and then thought of how many we've lost on here .. No gripes mate I just read it wrong..and read a little too far into it. Title: Re: HELP!! What are these radios from??? Post by: 4hammers on July 27, 2005, 02:21:24 AM All good, Harko. ;D
Yes, I am the first to admit, I get a beef-up too easy :-/, but was peeved this guy did that, then Rusty chimed in. All over now. Yes, we have lost a few from the forum, but the diehard backbone guys are still here & I think will always be here. Glad you are cool, I am keen on all the work you do & would oneday love to check your cars when I get over again. Will arrive in the 37 Chev Sloper & maybe if I am plied with enough grog, you could do some Harko magic on it for me. Stinky did a "Photoshop" job for me & since then, I can't stop thinking about rodding it!! Rob J Title: Re: HELP!! What are these radios from??? Post by: HAD 708 on July 27, 2005, 09:05:28 AM Rob
