Re: Best place to order a classic Radio
I would by an original radio and have it upgraded. I am not sure if any of the newer radios are all that good for the cost it takes to buy them. Others?

Re: Best place to order a classic Radio
I went with the Retrosound Model One and had bad luck with the radio itself (had to send two of them back during the two-year warranty period) but excellent support from the Retrosound guys. Finally they sent me a Zuma, their new model, and it has been trouble-free. I was told they changed vendors and the innards are better now.
I like the look and the aux-in capabilities. I haven't hooked up an amp but it has all the capabilities to do so. I would recommend the Zuma. |

Re: Best place to order a classic Radio
I've heard terrible things about custom and awesome things about retrosound. I haven't decided whether I'm cutting my dash or not but if I do I'll definitely go retrosound.
