I checked the radio over last night. It works great! I hooked it up
with jumpers from the Spridget battery and a speaker from an Opel
Manta (worst autocross car I ever drove). I unrolled a bit of my
safety wire, touched the antenna lead and it sounds great, pulls a
whole raft of AM stations. The push buttons were set for Twin Cities
stations, and they were all still tuned in perfectly! With a roll of
safety wire?!
The bad news for Pete is that it is (duh, duh, duh, duh) POSITIVE
EARTH! Pete, I think your '71 is negative earth by then, let me
know.
out it!)
Anybody else want an original radio for a '67 MGB? Works great,
positve earth, says "BRITISH MOTOR CORPORATION" on the front, the dial
lights up, all the controls work, includes the black-crackle mounting
plate to mount under dash. Make me an offer I can't refuse and I
will ship it out. phile@pwcs.stpaul.gov (612) 224-3105 (612)
