<VV> Radio Conversion

Bill,

I for one would be interested in the details of your project.  I would go one further and suggest that you write up the project as an article for the Communique - I'm sure non-VV's would be interested!

Thanks,

In case anyone out there is interested, and you have an old, non-working Delco 65-69 factory radio...

I was playing around with my non-working original Delco radio, when the idea hit me that I could put the electronics from a newer stereo into the faceplate of the Delco and get a factory look with modern electronics.

It turned out to be easier than I thought, and, while I still have some minor cosmetics to finish, it actually looks pretty good, and it functions, too!

If you have a modern radio/stereo that has shafts, you can fit them into the faceplate of the old Delco radio and get a factory look along with FM and MP3 capability.  You'll have to cut up the newer radio for clearance of the electronics and shaft.


I used a Dual cassette/FM/AM/aux input radio that I bought at AutoZone for $24.99.  If anyone's interested, I'll post the directions and details.
