Need Radio ?

I was scouting around for a nice working radio for my '68 project
Beetle. Didn't have to look original, but must have good reception.

Long and short of it, I came across a seller on eBay who has a
pile of NOS Mitsubishi radios. They have cassette deck, which
kinda dates them. AM/FM *and* a clock! Provision for driving
front and rear speakers. No Un-Lock code required.

The best part was the price (being the frugal sort):








$4.95


!!


This is going in a Beetle with the padded dash and I was able to
file the VW plastic trim ring to accept the radio. The dash will
need a teeny bit or surgery to conform to DIN dimensions. The
radio actually measures 2" X 7" .

looks good jim and it kind of looks like a radio from an 84 rabbit/
golf. You can now get a fm transmitter to play a mp3 player thru your
radio.

Crap. I was hoping for a 45RPM record player.
