Does anyone have a original working am/fm radio that would fit in a 8050?  Mine is only am and I am looking to replace it.  Thanks

If no one on forum has any, you’d probably do well to visit a local tractor salvage yard? They usually have them already pulled & shelved? May get lucky & find an “Allis-Chalmers” badged (Midland? Up til 1981?, then Delco.) am/fm radio from inside a Gleaner F2/F3,L/L2/L3,M/M2/M3,N5/N6/N7,7000, or 8000 series. The Gleaner offered 3 choices (AM/FM, AM/FM 8 track, AM/FM Cassette)

If not, then IH, JD, MF, Ford, etc cab tractors may have similar Midland radio, but just badged differently?
For a Delco radio, go to an auto salvage yard & get a Chevrolet radio of similar vintage (1970-80s).

Could someone post a picture of an original? I've never ran an 8000 series tractor. I've got a box full of radios I bought at an AC dealer close out. Some old AM only ones have Allis Chalmers on the face or on parts stickers, but some aren't labeled. I might have some L2/L3 radios also if they are the same?

I’ll try to load a few photos later. The 1970s Midland? Brand radios have “Allis-Chalmers” badged across their AM/FM slide switch which is located in the middle face, right above the five preset station push buttons & just below the horizontal station number dial. Metal knob on its left for “click to right” power on, then volume with treble/bass outer ring & metal knob on its right for station selection with its outer ring for right/left speaker balance.

The Delco brand doesn’t contain any Allis-Chalmers badging. Their volume knob & station dial knob has the classic “¥” or “I”? volume symbol & “music note” station selection symbol, respectively.
