Thumb wheel repair

[dreamcatcher]

Not sure where to post this. But does anyone know where to get work done on an AM 8 track?I bought one on line for my charger ..it works but the needle dont move on the radio and I think it might have one weak output transistor as well.Other than that I think it was a steel for the 125.00 I paid for it.Wires not even cut.

Do a search here on radio conversions. There's a couple places you can send it to have it repaired and upgraded.

Am I reading that correctly?  You got an AM 8 Track for $125 and it's not at total pile?  You got a great deal     Last I recall that was the price for a standard AM radio that might not work?

If it does work, restore it, don't core it for new electronics. There aren't many of those around.    I have an AM/FM in my 69 that needs the volume wheel fixed. Ill get a crappy AM core to do the electronics upgrade to.

Any electronics repair shop can fix it, If you can find one.

Not anymore.


"We no longer service wonder bar or signal seek radios. As of Jan 1 2012, We still service most Mopar,
Delco (GM) or Ford AM FM radios , but no longer service 8 track radios of any kind.We will continue to service AM radios from most models"

Darn - That sucks - they do great work.

Wow, that does suck.  They fixed up our AM 8 track radio in our challenger about two or so years ago.  They also did the repair to my AM radio and added the MP3 port to it.   Wonder why they stopped working on the 8 track part?
