Try Elliott's Car Radio Repair. (610)495-6360 Bob Elliott, in PA.  He did a great job with my AM radio. Very knowledgable.

I had found a site a while ago that will restore your radio with new inside components and a Ipod/Aux input.

Does anyone know of any sites, I did some searches and found some sites but not what I was looking for.

I talk with them before I sent mine out and he did talk with me about doing the Ipod thing but that was not the way I went so I don't remember if he did the service or if he just new about it.

Thanks

Will do. I sent it out a couple weeks ago and just got an e-mail saying they are almost done. They do a full resto on it cosmetic as well as mechanical. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Man, that dont sound bad at all, considering that to get myself a used one will cost 3 or 4 benjamins.

Too bad I dont have a radio to start with   :banghead:
