Re-build my old AM radio
« on: January 17, 2012 - 05:38:37 PM »
Anyone know how to rebuild my -65 AM radio to FM? Looked at www.retrosoundusa.com, but I don't like the look with their fancy plastic pushbuttons.
I cannot understand why people drive around with one half of an engine inside their bonnet.

I kept the original in the dash and mounted a new stereo behind it up in the dash where it is out of sight.  Now I have fantastic tunes.

Challenger, so you mounted a radio with a remote out of sight? That's a good idea... Or else I have to ship the entre radio from Europe... All though I do like the look of it...
