John,
I have an AM/FM BL radio that has its knobs. I'll let it go for nothing
beyond shipping if you want to try it. If nothing else, it might be
that the knobs will work for you. I also have the original dealer
adapter that sets the radio outward (presumably to give clearance behind
the radio as you mention). Hit me off-list.
Cheers,
Dean

Subject: Need knobs for my original 1970 BMC AM radio - or new radio
I'm rejuvenating my '70 B. When I bought it, it had the original BMC AM
band radio which I removed and replaced with something more modern, that
also ran the battery down, since I didn't drive it much.
So now I want to add a radio back in. I can't find (so far) a modern
radio
which will fit in the radio compartment. There's a vent hose behind
where
the radio goes and that reduces the depth of a unit that will fit to
just 5
1/2 inches. So I guess I have two questions.
Since I've still got the original radio (minus the knobs), I could use
it if
I could get some knobs. Anyone know where I might look? having just an
AM
radio is not my first choice...
The second option is to find a radio that will fit that's only 5 1/2
inches
deep. I really only want FM, so I don't have to have cassette or CD.
Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
John Graham
