    I like it. It looks alot less clunky than most of the after market under dash radios that were popular in the 60's and 70's.

    So what station does your engine redline at??:D
    It looks vintage so it has to be an AM station.
    FM was only for hippies and classical music afficianados.:D

    I know. I'll admit, if it was $50 I would grab it just because...... and hord, never use it, but I could say I have one WTF car radio:rofl2:


    Wonder if the volume works like a tack, the higher the revs, the louder it gets.


    The key thing is what gets me, was this one of the first attempts at anti stereo theft? The bracket is screwed/bolted to the car, yet the radio is locked to the bracket??:rofl2:

    Cool, but one problem - appears to be monaural, not stereo.

    I'm thinking it would pretty trick in a vintage Airstream I happen to know of :evilsmile:

    Wonder if I could sneak this one past the DW :162:

    I would think today a sharp company could build a modern version of this, offer it in stereo with a aux plug-in and a thingy for a computer hook-up, maybe even have Sat radio as an option. I'd be a customer...... Not all 60's cars had a round, bracket-mounted tach on them. It would look a bit funny if you had one tach and one Tacradio though...

    That would be great for a radio delete car to keep the dash original. That's an AM and FM radio, not just an FM converter, too. LOVE IT!
