Re: Who restores/rebuilds/overhuals factory radio's?

One for your list. Countryside Radio and Electronics

He is in Hemmings and did my 70 442 am/fm stereo.

Glen Thome 866-965-4795. Once you send it to him, he will give estimate. Honest reasonable and a nice guy.

He is near Lake Erie in Vermillion, Ohio.

AM kinda limits what you can listen to. Just for grins, I put my 67 GM AM faceplate on a vintage Panasonic pushbutton am/fm mono. It only plays FM --switch now not accessable --but looks near original and plays FM well.. Sitting on shelf. I had put a custom autosound in my 67 prior.

Re: Who restores/rebuilds/overhuals factory radio's?

Mike, it sounds like you got a good referral from dennislbrooks. If that doesn't work out for you, I can rebuild your radio using all new, modern electronics. After my rebuild it will have AM/FM stereo with scan & seek, with no changes to the original appearance. Base price for that is $350 plus shipping.

Beyond that, everything else that a modern radio offers -- USB input, wireless Bluetooth input, auxiliary (wired) input, auto off after 15 minutes or when a door is opened -- is available as an option. In any combination. If you want multiple bands of equalization, time delay, or high/low/bandpass filters, you'll probably want external amplifiers for that, and I can optionally provide up to 5 preamp outputs. But it sounds like you're just looking to get good sound and reliable operation out of your old radio.

I can do whatever cosmetic restoration your radio needs, but if the bezel needs new chrome, you're better off finding a better bezel (I may have one).

I hope this helps.

You still around?
