Recently picked up a 2864768 thumbwheel radio from a buddy who doesnt know if it works or not. I'd like to hook it up in my Bee to see if it works. It has a red, an orange and a green/black speaker wire?. Is the orange the ground? I assumed ground wires were black but I havent wired up a stereo in 30 years. thanks

I'm sure others will chime in on this, but the red is power, the orange is for the dial light. The green and black go to the speaker which must be hooked up with the black going to the ground side. If both green and black have the connectors on them, they will only connect one way.

^^^ this , the green and black go to the speaker , the metal case of the radio is the power ground .
