Re: Vintage Stereo stuff
M: I've got a JC Penney converter that is a self contained unit...plug your antenna into the converter, then the lead from the converter goes to the am radio...if your current radio works, then this would work slick, and you could hide it if'n you want. My problem is, my am radio in my 'Sub quit, and they are a sonofagun to change in the '67-'72 trucks...so the 8-track w/plug in converter could band-aid it for me...
As for 8 tracks, folks around here just give 'em to me...

Re: Vintage Stereo stuff
Used to see a lot of Lear Jet 8 track stuff. Not sure they offered a reverb though. These things all work in conjunction but you'll need to have the reverb as the last unit downstream.
8 tracks? I got a ton of em. Some are still good. Just plugged in Cricklewood Green by Alvin Lee/Ten Years After' a couple of weeks ago while I was in the garage. Then I started smelling something like sweet grass burning so I popped it out and headed for the house!   Steve, Thanks a bunch for the offer but I'm reasonably sure I still have mine somewhere. Hang on to them, or make Rob/Marlin an 'Offer they can't refuse'.

Re: Vintage Stereo stuff
So that's what the antennae contraption is supposed to look like! I had to make my own by getting the correct connector at Radio Shack and adding a wire to it. (Bought the unit off ebay and it had no antennae wire at all.)
Never thought it had such an involved antennae splice-harness. Got any more of those NOS contraptions lieing around?

Re: Vintage Stereo stuff
I've been trying to find an old AM/FM/Cassette radio for my Nova for months now with no luck. Two that I have bought would not fit (although the seller stated they would) and another did not work. I have already installed two small modern speakers in the dash waiting on sound to flow thru them. It has proved to be difficult to find a radio that has a shaft width of 6 - 1/4 inches.

Re: Vintage Stereo stuff
I picked up this NOS item a while back to install in my L78. Vintage late 70's early 80's I believe.
