66 Coronet Radio Questions

[Nxcoupe]

So this car is new to me, and it's been a minute since I messed with these and I'm really excited about working on these again. Anyway, to the point of this post, my radio is not producing sound. It does however, have a green or red LED in the upper right corner of the tuner screen. It alternates being green one time and red the next. I'm assuming this has been converted to a more modern version and I'm wondering if anyone else has one like this. Thanks in advance and hope I posted this in the right place.

Sounds like it may be working and the speaker(s) and/or antenna is not connected.

Found this video on youtube. Maybe this guy converted your radio.

I will have to try some of his things he shows there and see if it is one of his. I can also look for the input cord too.

If you have an LED in the display, it definitely has been converted to FM. Mine has been and it does the same thing with the alternating colors. Are you sure the speaker(s) is good?

Not sure of anything. Nothing on the dash really works, so I need to start going through the grounds and see what could be causing it. I'm going to try what he showed on the video and see if the colors change. I believe they do. I'm also going to look for speakers and wiring. With it having a console, it's a little more difficult to get up under the dash.

That's what I assumed but wanted reassurance I wasn't on the road to the happy old folks place.
