WTB Original AM/FM Radio
I'm looking to buy an OEM AM/FM radio correct for a 1972 chevy truck.
I'm going to have the internals gone through and upgraded with new electronics and the exterior restored to original. Based on this, I think the unit needs to be complete, with a good face, buttons and dials but don't think it needs to be (electrically) working. Do you have one for me to buy or can you steer me in the right direction. Was thinking about having Mike Hagan do the work. Last edited by PDXk5; 12-22-2014 at 03:35 AM. Reason: Clarification |

Re: WTB Original FM Radio
FYI
I just sent a radio out to Gary Tayman. With his conversion an AM radio is all you need. The push button & knob contols need to be good but the guts all get replaced with a new digital tuner. So you end up with a new sterio in your old housing. Gary

But with the AM size radio, that would make it easier. Or am I looking at this wrong ? Also, is there no slide bar on the Tayman conversion ??

Re: WTB Original FM Radio
I don't know if there's a size difference between am and am/fm ?
No slide bar needed, you switch from am to fm using the left knob, turn it off and back on quickly. Gary

Re: WTB Original FM Radio
Wonderbarman said the best FM in a non-FM radio is an Audiovox converter. You showed read his take on the conversions on his unique site. Wonderbarman.com. Bruce

Re: WTB Original FM Radio
Hey Elliot949, I know you asked Gary about the radio but it I thought I would answer your question because I also have a Gary Tayman converted radio. I absolutely love his radio. He does amazing work and this radio sounds hundreds times better than any other radios I have had. I have had it for a little over a year now and have had no problems with it. The sounds is great, the different capabilities the radio has as far as different amps, subs and such you can run a s great too. And you can add Bluetooth! In all I am extremely happy with it. Especially over any Autosoind radio in my opinion. So for budding in to your question, just wanted to let you know thatbits a great radio!

Re: WTB Original FM Radio
Thanks Gary... Keep me posted if you will... I am still along ways out from having to make that kind of decision so I am watching responses to different things I am considering for "Class Act"...
