T-BIRD RADIO UPDATED
Don't think this will be of much interest to many but I am so pleased to have a more modern radio that I can hardly contain myself. The old T-Bird had one of the last of the vaccum tube automobile radios and technology has passed them by many decades ago. I didn't want one of the new replacement radios because they cost way more than I wanted to pay and they had so many features that I would not use. I just wanted a more modern AM/FM radio that had very good reception and performed well. The only automobile radio that I saw that I thought could be modified to fit the T-Bird was a DELCO radio out of my 1992 Buick Century parts car. The DELCO radio had a tape player that occupied the lower part of the radio and that had to be removed since the T-Bird ash tray was in that space. The volume control and station select controls had to be moved to the T-Bird location.
I am happy with the modified radio. It looks good and the digital display color is green and so matches the color of the car and the cost was zero.
