[FC] <VV> WANTED: WORKING FC AM RADIO

[Paul Steinberg]

The FC radio was never offered in a push button version, and if I remember 
correctly, it might be because the radio chassis is slightly shorter in 
length than the standard Corvair radio.  I can dig out my NOS FC radio and 
check the differences in lengths if anyone needs this information.  Same 
with the radio mounting fixture, it is also different than the regular 
production Corvair.
