    Very nice indeed. Surprising how long the valves actually lasted with all the bouncing around.

    Great setup. I see you seatbelts installed, this is something I plan on doing, how about a video showing how you mounted them? I was in a head on collision in my jeep, the steering wheel saved.

    Very nice presentation. Is it a "working radio" ? I have a BC-659J with PE-120A that is mounted on my 45 GPW and it operates. Both the BC-620 and 659 are cool looking radios which really finish off a WWII jeep. Your jeep is very clean and sharp. Congratulations.

      Thank you very much for the note! The BC-620 radio on my jeep works -- both transmit and receive. See several other videos I posted on tuning and configuration to get it to work as it was designed.

    Is the BC-620 the radio used in a 1944 Jeep?
