- Notes
-
This Philco Model C-5690 HR was the First ALL-TRANSISTOR car radio. It was developed in 1955 and was used in the 1956 line of Chrysler Imperial cars as an option. The Philco C-5690HR is Philco's name but Chrysler names it "Mopar 914HR" with its own numbering system of radio identification. For the transistor replacement: We believe that L-5113L (or OC44) and L-5114L (or OC45) can also be used for the ones without L.

Does anyone have this particular radio in their collection and if yes, could you upload an actual picture of it to this site ??
