Sent my GTS AM radio for refurbish.

Here is a video of the results.

So now I have an AM FM 4 channel Stereo radio with 180 watts. Not to mention full control for balance, fader, treble and bass. Aux input and bluetooth. Kinda cool.
 
That's just T and A spinman! :cheers:


What do they recommend for the antennae?

I remember seeing a convert thread somewhere.
Can you post the link if you have it?

He has different options. This is the cadillac version.

I will reserve the cost and ask that anyone interested contact Richard direct.

As far as antennae? Darn good question. I may need to upgrade that. Although my wifes dodge caravan has a regular post antennae and she pulls FM stations fine. Plus with the aux input and the bluetooth we can play music from Ipod. Iphone or thumb drive. I have a turntable that has a usb output, so you can only imagine what I will be doing with my wife's LP collection.

The Aurora design products are design to fit any radio and keep the original look and use the original antenna.
 
I had the very same done to my thumbwheel radio. It is very impressive. I was told that it should plug right into the original antenna and work exactly as it is supposed to work.
 
That's very cool, and a specialist item. You should pay a good price, for specialist work. (j.m.o.)
 
Very cool. I had my Dart thumbwheel done by Rick ... http://www.ricksradioconversions.com/ .... Very happy with it. I got the works on mine, AM/FM/AUX/USB/ and Bluetooth . Antenna plugs right into the factory port. Nothing like listening to Pandora radio through the old thumbwheel !
