Cleopatra Jones Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I acquired this radio/cassette player to convert but ended up finding an AM/FM radio with a 5-pin DIN I'm going to rewire for iPod usage. Radio works just not sure about the tape player. Probably needs new belts. I'm asking $45; does not include shipping. Photobucket is being a bastard and I couldn't get the photo of the back of the radio to upload. I'll keep trying. Radio dimensions are 6.25"W x 5.5"D x 1.875"H. Radio posts are 5.125" apart. Holla if you're interested :) Kimberly Edit: finally tricked Photobucket into uploading the back. SOLD Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 If you're wanting a stock radio to use as is or have converted I'm also open to offers if you're interested in this one. Link to comment
Angela Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hi! Just discovered your post & am totally intrigued. Have a 71 510 wagon w/stock am only Hitachi (?) Radio & single speaker in dash. I want to keep everything as stock-looking as possible but would LOVE to convert use ipod. Advice? Suggestions? Appreciate anything you could school me on. Thanks, -Angela Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hi Angela, I had emailed a few places about conversion but most of them only do American radios and not Japanese ones :blink: I did chat with Cliff at Western Wireless which Z chopper told me about. He sounds really knowledgeable and said that if the radio wasn't large enough that he would have to extend the case so you'll want to find out how much space you have behind your dash just in case that needs to happen. I also spoke with Mike at Mike Hagan Antique Audio who said he's getting new boards that are smaller so he may not have to extend the case. Regardless of who you go with you can plan on spending in the neighborhood of $400. I haven't gotten to rewiring the radio I've got yet. I can do a lot of things with the car but I'm not going there. If all works I should only need to add a switch to it so I won't have to throw down so much for a conversion. But at least it's an option and you get new parts :) I had also found a few how to's online. I'm no wiring wiz so I'm not going to try it. But here's some links if you're interested as well as links to the two guys I mentioned. Give em a call and chat with them so they know what you got. Cliff at Western Wireless (He's in Canada but has an Idaho address you can send the radio to. He's an hour from there and picks it up.): http://www.westernwireless.ca/ Mike at Retro Radio (he's in Pennsylvania): http://www.retroradio.biz/contact.html Here's some how to's I've found: http://www.311s.org/...orDatsunClarion http://datsun1200.co...Aux_Input_Radio http://www.roadrunne...&t=3217&start=0 Good luck!
