Old School Radio..

Post by vaporloc »

I wanted to install an fm stereo into the 65 140 Corsa vert.. But I wanted old school. I mean really old school. Now this is vintage super tuner 8-track fm/stereo.. The tape has been serviced, the fm plays great and the whole deal sounds good.. I kinda painted it to match the interior ta boot...

I love it!
Recently picked up a couple vintage 8-track players at a swap meet.
One never used, the other an unusual "hump" mount.

I have a factory Quad 8-track in my 77 Continental Mark V

ever check out this site?

Hi Jason... No that is the way I bought it from ebay.. It is made to bolt to the floor but I removed the top cover, drilled it and bolted it under the dash.. I like it better.. You don't have to look so far down to see volume, tuning or what ever.. It is a powerful unit for how old school it is, I think it will blow the speakers out of the car to be honest with you..Oh and the FM seems to have great reception.. Picks up and holds FM stations great...
