Antique Automobile radio.

Has anyone had any experience with Antique Automobile radios. I recently purchased a radio to fit my 1957 3100 truck. I was thrilled when I installed it (it fit and appeared exactly as the original) but when I turned it on the speaker distortion, even at moderate volume, was enough to scare away small children. I sent it back to AAR and it came back with a note saying it was OK. I bench tested it against another radio using the same speakers and it was still as bad a before I returned it. It's a beautifully designed radio but for $500 it should also work beautifully.

Thanks...Paul
