Radio Tray Glove Box?

It's a little F'ed up, but you could probably salvage the little Piper
insignia, small piano hinge and grab handle if you want. It measures 6.5"
wide and 6.25" tall. If you're interested, I'll stick it in one of those
little padded envelopes at the post office and send it to you.

Whoa -- thanks, but that's quite a bit taller than the standard radio "hole"
I've got open in my panel.

Were the original Piper glove boxes TWO radios tall, or were the old radios
just that much taller than today's?

Well, my Narco Omnigator Mk II is about five and a half inches high, and my
Lear RT-10 is five. Given these are tube-type radios, I can see giving a
bit extra space to let the heat out....

Actually, that door has been cut down. It was taller. If you look at the
right side of http://www2.ari.net/jmasino/private/panel3.JPG you'll see
that my KNS-80 and my Stormscope are located in the old glove compartment
area.

They must have made at least two different sizes, because the one you have is
larger than mine. I have no idea where or which type of plane it came with, but mine
had the lid in the pile of interior parts I got with the plane. I'm assuming it was
stock with it ('69 -140).

Like I said, it fit the Mark12B radio tray so it's about 4" tall and standard
radio width.
