Radio ??

Roy — I haven’t yet bought anything from this outfit, but their website is intriguing. Maybe you can find a radio through them: http://www.retrosoundusa.com/

Thanks Bill.  The current radio in MiGi was installed by the prior owner and it has all sorts of information displayed on the dial.  Far more than I want.  As a consequence, none of it is very large font or very readable even if you are right in front of it except at night time.  From the drivers seat, the LED/LCD display it totally unreadable.  Plus, it does not have a knob to tune with, only those fancy electronic things.  I guess I’m just too damn old but I want an old fashioned radio with push buttons and a dial indicator that I can see.  Retro-sound is on my list to look at if I ever get to a city large enough to see one “in person”.  The “off axis” viewing that they advertise may do the trick for me.  Thanks for your help.

Say guys, as a radio goes if you want a retro have you thought of looking in junk yard ? there many late model and older ones that may fit what your needs are.. if you want a british look factory MG radio box has speekers and a switch and looks good bolted to the floor. Dan

First installed w/ old fashioned faceplate with 2 knobs.
Got old quick. Crutchfield supplied me with a new piece
that does CD,HD, SD Card, USB, Aux, with Bluetooth
streaming audio and full iPod control for under $200.
We all know you can’t listen to your radio at speed so
I’ve run speaker wires to a headphone jack in the E-brake
cover. Ta-da, hands free phone even.

Looking at the new member posts, we went off track a bit   RADIOS started getting talked about so I figured I’d put in my 2 cents if you look in some local junk yards a factory MG “B” and Midget raido box may be what you are looking for they bolt to the floor and have a speaker and 2 rocker switches my B was metal and covered with leather look vinyl ugly  but can be refinished how ever you like  as most junk yards many choices of radios new and old .
