fyredan Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) When I was a kid, my grandmother worked for a Mack dealer near Tampa, Florida. She gave me a radio that was made to look like an Oil Filter from a Mack Truck, complete with the Bulldog. The controls were on the bottom, I think, and the speaker was on the top. It was bronze or gold in color. I've attached a picture of one I missed on e-bay to help out.If anyone knows where I could find one of these, please let me know. I have missed a couple on e-bay and at other auction sites, but have not given up. I am not a collector so I don't care if it has the box: I just want the working radio because of the memories involved.If you find one, please e-mail me at fyredan@yahoo.com .Thanks in advance!--Fyredan Edited April 1, 2012 by fyredan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Maney Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Keep watching ebay, I have gathered up a few of the filters and batteries over the years. I have gifted the extras out to my Mack buds... Stick with it, you'll score one!The tuner and volume were at the seam vertically on the filter cylinder. They were AM only and are a pretty cool collectible. The batteries are neat too, the posts are the volume and tuner. 1 Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

Charliejg Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I have one of the oil filter radios. I've been trying to find a value for it but can't find any other link for my search besides this old thread. Anyone able to point me to some information about the radio?
