Title: Unusual AirChief Radio? Post by: Rabbitoh on July 26, 2006, 03:34:43 AM Does anyone know anything about the Remote Tuning Astor AirChief radio. I have been told my radio is one of these.

I have never seen another one. Ken Title: Re: Unusual AirChief Radio? Post by: Rabbitoh on July 26, 2006, 10:31:49 PM It's at Nostalgic Wireless Company getting quoted for repair.

Title: Re: Unusual AirChief Radio? Post by: mcl1959 on July 27, 2006, 10:08:32 AM I have a copy of an article with picture in an "Accellerator" magazine which you are welcome to a copy of. This is the only reference I have of them, hence my desire to see one. Would be cool to see one fitted to a car!
