    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.

    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 Confused but can be refinished how ever you like Big smile as most junk yards many choices of radios new and old .
