Hi Ed,
I guess I should have said when we owned the Stinson it was stolen. After we
got it back we sold it a couple of years later to someone in the Chicago
area. A couple of years ago I looked up it's "N" number and it is now
registered in Alaska.
Sorry for the confusion!

Hi Ralph,
I have the actual radio and the service manual about it for a 1948
Stinson.
The radio is a Hallicraftafters Skyphone CA-2. It was not originally in
the
Stinson my wife and I owned. I wish I still had the Stinson 9308K but it
is
currently in Alaska. It was stolen from Mt. Hawley Airport in Peoria,
Illinois when my wife and I owned it. It was found near Red Wing
Minnesota
before we knew it was gone. Someone took it somewhere around 4:00 Am
from
Mt. Hawley airport in Peoria and made a dead stick landing near Red Wing
about 07:00 am. He got a ride into town and went to the local bar for a
??
After awhile he said well I better get back to my airplane and walked
out
the door. His finger prints were all over the Stinson but after
comparing
them to mine and my wife's they never showed up in any of the Feds
files.
I don't understand. If the aircraft was available to obtain the perp's
fingerprints, then how did the aircraft go missing AGAIN? And why do you
say
it's now in Alaska?
