Hi folks,

Anyone have a set of upper and lower lens clips from a 69-76 Delco AM/FM radio?

Thanks,
Tony

The upper clips for AM FM are different shape than the upper clips for an AM.
On an AM the upper and lower clips are the same shape.
On an AM FM the upper clips have an extra little bend to them where they attach to the lens.
The bottom clips on AM and AM FM are the same shape.

I'll look again tomorrow.

Charley - I concur with the feedback here - the upper clips do have that unique bend and the lowers appear to be identical to the ones you have here. Let me know what you find and thanks again.

I was just going through this a few years ago while rebuilding my 1970 AM/FM 8tk.
Stay away from HEATER CONTROL LENS spring clips,as they are similar but not the same & won't fit..>https://www.npdlink.com/product/spri...3-repro/198984

Here's the 4 clips I searched high & low for back then at a few local swaps.
The ones first on the bottom of this pic with the unique squared end bend are for the top of the radio lens.
The Back clips in the pic are for the bottom of the lens.
