Using your original case, face and controls!!

We are currently backlogged 28 weeks! Absolutely NO CAR SHOW,...OR TV SHOW PROMISES!

More power, more features than ever before! These conversions are made to fit inside the original radio, so they look and feel correct when installed in the dash. We use your face, case, and tuner assembly.

The original electronics are replaced with a new high power digital stereo receiver designed to work with the original mechanical tuner and controls. Due to the very small size, made possible by extensive use of surface mount technology, we can convert any analog radio, any year, any model, 6 or 12 volt. All original functions are fully operational, including Wonderbar, Town & Country, or other signal seeking tuners. Crystal controlled tuning eliminates drift. Switching between AM and FM bands is done by turning the radio off and then back on again when the radio did not originally have an AM/FM switch. The balance and fader controls are easily adjusted using a unique option that allows the tone control to be used for multiple functions on radios that did not originally have a balance or fader control. Pushbuttons can be set for AM or FM stations using the same method that was used originally.  We DO NOT add any cosmetic appearance changes whatsoever!!!! If your radio has only the AM numbers it will  still only have the AM numbers, we do not add FM numbering to your dial,...FM will be as easy to judge purely by the position,...most people looked through and past the numbers anyway, and hardly a single one of the old radios were true to their numbered positions from end to end on the dial,..

All radios are equipped with RCA Auxiliary inputs so that you can plug into any MP3 player (Ipod), Bluetooth or XM tuners, and come with this simple adapter cable.

The appearance as viewed from the passenger compartment remains original, with all controls functioning as designed. Inside, the chassis which contained the tubes and transformers has been removed and replaced with a new, modern digital stereo receiver and 180 watt RMS 4 speaker amplifier. The original antenna connection and all “up front” controls are retained. The original mounting is still in place so it goes back in the car the same way it came out. A tiny LED has been embedded in the dial background that indicates status by changing colors for various conditions. AM is red, FM is green. It also functions as a tuning indicator, changing from dim to bright when a station of sufficient strength is tuned in. The LED also changes from green to yellow when the receiver locks on an FM stereo station. There are 4 BTL amplifiers capable of delivering 45 watts RMS each - that’s 180 watts RMS maximum output power! (14.4 Volts, 4 ohm load, 1 kHz). Radios can be configured for 1, 2, 3, or 4 speakers if powered from a 12 volt system. 2 speakers only for 6 volt systems, 1 speaker Stereo Dual Voice Coil DVC systems are recommended where adding a second speaker is not desirable or practical.   Here is more information about installing and operating your converted radio, Owners Manual

Do you have a 6 volt system?   http://www.vintageautoradio.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=8&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=67

When the balance control is set all the way to the right channel and the fader control is set to the front, the radio will enter the mono mode. CDs and/or XM radios will also be in mono. If more speakers are added later, stereo operation will automatically be restored when the balance control is adjusted.  Optional pre-amp outputs are available for those seeking the extra performance of a subwoofer, and or external power amplifiers for that extra level of involvement, clarity and overall detail, nothing can beat a well set up multi amplifier sound system, make sure you know what you are doing, or hire someone who has current and proper knowledge to fuse and connect heavy wiring to supply the amperage needs for serious power output.  BE SURE TO CHECK OUT OUR MD Sound Small Wonder series power amplifiers, huge sound, easy to hide, and low price!!!  perfect for classic, antique and vintage cars, who want great sound, but still remain stealth and completely hidden,..we help you to remember your car's sound system better than it ever was!
