Well, after almost 30 years I finally have just about all the major bits for a police radio for my UL. I still need a correct antenna and mount, a couple of condensers, and some of the rubber mount parts for the boxes. But I have a sample of those to replicate. I may have to actually get serious about this! I also need a luggage rack mount First-Aid Kit, I don't want to cut the legs off the one I have. The radio is in the boxes, and the contents are in the first aid kit. The generator is the correct 32E2-R type. The shielded plug wire covers are NOS.

Neat stuff Robbie! I don't know anything about this setup so perhaps you will tell me why the coil have 4 connection points? Also is the radio a tube type? My father was a part time TV/Radio repairman and I have a bunch of NOS tubes. If it is a tube type if you want to give me the tube part numbers I can look and see if I have any for spares.

Hi Steve, The coil upper connections are as stock, the two lower ones are for a connection on one side for radio noise suppression timer cable outer and the other for a capacitor to the same effect. There is also a capacitor on the generator on the screw visible near the one terminal The radio is indeed tube type.

Both have brackets that carry the radio boxes a few inches lower than shown in the 1938 and 1940 pictures above.Robbie Knight Amca #2736
