I know your pain if you had it done by wards it will never work right

 

[Cranky]

My factory original radio in my pickup was doing the same thing...now the volume control doesn't work at all but at least it comes on still. I don't listen to the radio much anymore anyways. Who was the Ebay vendor?

I get one descent station on my am radio, if the weather is right and the antenna is fully extended. Do they even make fm converters anymore.

The more I hear about horror stories from radio restorers, the more inclined I am to go with this unit...

I know the Antique Automobile Radios for Mopars can take a long time to ship. You might want to check out vintagecarradio.com. They stock a bunch of their radios.

That may work because the radio we had done also has a jacked up volume control.now.

So I am a factory radio converter using Aurora Design components. I stand 100% behind my work. 3 year warranty. Everything you see "new" is made overseas to the lowest bidder.

Please consider converting a factory radio before wasting your money.

I am a car guy just like y'all. I had a second radio or the hidden audio for years. I saw the Aurora Products and with my Avioncs background in the Navy I became a dealer.

You won't be disappointed

Looks pretty cool Rick.
When the time comes for me to make a decision I will look into this. Do you sell speakers?

 

[Rick.Mopar]

I don't sell speakers at the moment, but I recommend the Custom Auto Sound Dual Voice Coil Speakers... work great for a single speaker with two channels.

 

[440+6]

I bought an antique auto radio about 4 years ago (the 70 am/fm repo type) also the custom auto sound 4x10 dual voice coil speaker for the front and a pair of Fosgate 6x9's for the back.
Since day one, if you turn the volume up to 3/4 or more the radio cuts out completely, and you have to turn it off and back on to get it to work again.
Also when tuning to a station with the buttons it's hit or miss to get a station, hit another button and back to the same one again and it usually works then.
I sent it back for repair and it came back to me exactly the same so I just put up with it, for now.
