IML: Bendix Electro Touch-Tuner Radios

["Eric" <gearhead@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are two Bendix Electro Touch-Tuner radio repair manuals online.  The 
1960 page is at http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1960/Radio/Page01.jpg
and the 1963 page at  http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1963/RADIO/index.htm
Also, from the 1960 page is a brief mention of a Model 404 radios in the 
Hiway HiFi repair section, 
http://www.imperialclub.com/Repair/Accessories/HiWay/Install.htm

Wiring diagrams are in these links. As for model numbers, it is to my 
estimation that there could be 6 or more varying model numbers for the 
1960-1963 cars. They break down as between the color of the dial face plate 
and by the use of a rear speaker. There were 3 dial face plates that I know 
of, the dark teal of the 1960, the black of the '61-62, and the gray of the 
'63. If the car had dual a/c, or was a convertible car, then a jumper was 
supplied to the lead for the rear seat speaker in those cars as they weren't 
equipped w/a rear speaker. An incomplete model # breakdown would be:
1960 - 403 appears to be the regular dual speaker model, 404 is associated 
w/the Hiway HiFi, and 402 is associated w/Chrysler models (maybe front 
speaker only models too?)
1961 -
1962 -
1963 - 413 for the dual speaker model, 409 for the dual a/c & convertible 
front speaker only model, as I have.

If anyone can fill in the blanks, please have at it.

The radios from 60-63 look virtually the same & would interchnge. I believe
there is color difference in either the buttons or the tuner dial. The
original radio probably quit & rather then repair it, the owner replaced it
with one of the newer ones.
