Radio Preferences
I have my truck disassembled for paint, radio doesn't work. Is there someone on this site that fixes original radio's? I don't really want to convert it, just fix it.

Re: Radio Preferences
It would be probably cheaper and easier to simply get another (good, used) factory am radio.
They are relatively common and not too expensive. Coley

Re: Radio Preferences
Pull the cover off and check for obvious issues. May just be bad ground. My son's 86 factory AM/FM had bad contacts for the speaker outputs. Soldered them up again and it worked great.

You have to love some CW thru an AM radio and dash speaker ! That will take you back to the 60's
