• 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.
