Help Identifying Consol

Looking to replace an older Ma/Com radio with an APX in an older patrol car. I can't figure out what console is currently in there in order to get the correct faceplate. There are no markings on it at all and nobody knows where it was outfitted or where they purchased the parts for it.

You might be wise to take the control head out of the equipment bracket and check the inside mounting surfaces for identifying marks.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to start looking for consoles for whatever vehicle this is, cause the setup alone will be a dead giveaway... That would identify the manufacturer, I mean most of the havis and jotto desk I see are solid angles this is curvy up front where the cigarette lighter plugs are I'm sure there's other differences..

Havis uses continuous slots for the screws that retain the equipment brackets, not regularly spaced holes. The console itself does not appear to be Havis.

However, the bends in the equipment bracket makes me think it is a Havis part. The additional holes that were drilled in the console to accommodate the equipment bracket seem to lend credence to my presumption that the equipment bracket is not of the same manufacture as the console.

If the M/A-Com equipment bracket turns out to be a Havis part, it will be marked on the inside face of one of the mounting surfaces with a portion of its part number:

C-EB30-EOR-1P_ISO_10-17(1).JPG


If this turns out to be a Havis equipment bracket, then a suitable Havis equipment bracket for the new radio can be selected and could probably use the same, additional holes. Havis has a list of Motorola equipment brackets, here: https://www.havis.com/catalog/Motorola-753-1.html

That is a Jotto Console.
But due to the screw holes that are drilled in the mounting plate looks like they used a havis faceplate
