stock 63 Dart Radio

[bembry]

Hey--anyone still using their stock AM radio?

I have one in my 63 Dart (found it in a AZ parts yard to replace the gaping hole the car had when bought).

Radio works, sounds good playing through the one little dash speaker. Buttons work, but tuner knob doesn't really move the needle much. I usually tune it by pushing a button lightly until I get the needle over a station.


Also, the light in the tuner doesn't work.


Does the light have a separate wire, or just use the power from the radio?

Can you replace the light if the bulb is burnt out (without major radio surgery)?

Any ideas on how to get the tuner working better?


Thanks in advance!

The bulb inside the radio turns on and off with the radio. It is easy to open the radio and replace it. If you want to go original, many places will fix your radio, add FM, Ipod, etc.
