I just saw there's a guy selling one on ebay for $200, claims it's all been gone through and works great. That's a pretty good deal, knowing what it takes to get the typical old tube radio up and running right. I borrowed his picture here. My radio's dirty and ugly by comparison. I actually thought I had too of them, so maybe I should rummage some more. A guy gave me one a few years ago, and then recently I scrounged several 1950s-vintage car radios and heaters out of an abandoned building that was about to be burned down. I'm pretty sure none of the heaters was mopar, but one of them was big and burly looking. I didn't even look closely at the radios -- just stuck them all in a box and packed them away until now.
Is your FFPW a WM300? Where's the radio cutout? I'll have to look at the telephone truck when I get a chance and see if it has a place for a radio like that. If so, it'd be worth getting one of these operating.
