You'll probably need a new Cat's Whisker.

Only if you have a cat. That radio used 6.3 volt tubes, and a
vibrator B+ supply. More than mlikely every paper capacitor is bad,
along with the elctrolytics and the vibrator. There are solid state
replacements availible for the vibrator, but make sure the buffer
capacitor gets replaced with the right HV capacitor.

Assuming that it's a Delco brand, what's the model number?

"In theory, there isn't any difference between theory and practice. In
practice, there is." - Yogi Berra

What is the question?

Most of the failures are capacitors, the vibrator, and maybe some
tubes that are weak. If the speaker is the original it may be dried up
and have to be replaced or re-built. There are places that can re-
build the speaker.

In theory, these are not overly complicated for an experienced tech
who knows the older radio designs. The work is time intensive, and
some of the parts are difficult to find, and may be expensive. But, if
you are determined and don't mind the cost the radio can be restored.

I used to restore antique radios and TV sets. I no longer do this type
of work due to the lack of time.

If you go on to the antique radio news groups, you should be able to
get information. If you do a web search, you should be able to find
people who can service this radio for you.

I'll bet that all the 'transistors' in it were large, had 8 small pins, in
a circle plus a bigger metal pin in the center except for one that had 4
pins in a trapizoidal pattern.

Even worse was that a 1940 truck *didn't* have a radio as an option!
(you could get an after-market one however)

Yeah, back in those days they didn't know how to make efficient
transistors like today! They were slow getting started, generated lots
of heat there for, wasted power. Used excessive amount of space because
they didn't have the chinese and mexicans of today with small fingers to
put those vacuumed transistors together in smaller packages!
And if you hit a bump to hard, the heater in them that generated the
electron cloud for the majority carriers in the semi dope
mass would fail!

Good god miss molly!

As far back as the 1950s, radios and heaters were optional
equipment/accessories for cars and trucks.If the buyer of a new car or
truck wanted the new vehicle equipped with a radio or heater or both
items, he or she had to ask for it when he or she placed their order for
his or hers new car or truck.My 1978 big old long tall 1978 Dodge van
did not have a radio when I bought the van from a guy in 1989.In place
of a radio, there was a factory cover plate fastened to the area where
the radio goes.There was not even a hole for the antenna either.I went
to a K-Mart store and I bought a cheap AM/FM/Cassette radio (about
$35.00) and I bought a new antenna at the K-Mart store too.I removed the
dashboard cover plate and I drilled a hole in the right front fender for
the antenna.

There was a time when windshield wipers were optional equipment for cars
and trucks.My 1914 T Model Ford car has an optional equipment hand
operated windshield wiper clamped on top of the windshield.Starter
motors used to be optional equipment for cars and trucks too, so were
wire wheels verus wood spoke wheels versus disk wheels.
