Could this be the orginal owner?
Hey folks!Thanks for the help with verifying my serial number!!So helpful and I even taught my husband something he didn’t know! Always fun!But, I have a new one for ya.
While gutting our camper this summer we discovered this label on the bottom of the radio (see pict).The CRAZY part was we pulled this radio out June 21, 2015!!!Say WHA?We have a 1964 camper so I’m thinking this just might be the original owner, but it’s not a full address.Anyone have any detective skills?My googling was a bit limited.Our camper does not have the large numbers on the exterior to research thru the club.We found the camper in Minnesota this spring, but I have doubts it’s been up here that long.
And because we all love pictures, I included a pict from our first trip this summer. We used “Dazy” as our tent on wheels for our music festival and it was AWESOME!

May be. That looks like a shop repair tag. The kind I still get from the guy who does my shoe repair work.

Mapquest shows 2 locations for that address, Lakeland Florida and Chicago Illinois.
Not sure of the accuracy of mapquest.

You might try contating Ralph Welch in Michigan. There is a Highland Street with that street number in Detroit. and he once lived in Highland, MI.

The club directory in 1967 has a bunch of Welches in it but not Ralph or Min. addresses.

That label was dated on my 3rd birthday!
I hope you can find the original owner. When we bought our Avion, some paperwork in the trailer had it's original owner's name on an invoice. I tracked them down. The husband of the pair had passed away a few years before, but I spend 30 minutes or so talking to his wife on the phone. It was a great experience!

St Paul MN?
There's a 1679 W Highland Parkway in St Paul MN. Current satellite view shows a house there. Since you found it in Minnesota, perhaps that's the owner's home address?

We were able to track down the original owners of our 78 Argosy Minuet via an address on a box in the trailer and it was cool to talk to them! They sent us pictures from when they owned it and some of the pillows, towels, salt and pepper shakers, etc. were still in the trailer! I hope you are able to track them down.
