These guys offer to convert your old radio to a new radio, without changing the faceplate or the *****. They claim they can make your old radio have more power, better sound, FM/Bluetooth capability, and an AUX port, and a whole lot more. They offer modern speakers that fit where your old speakers go- so basically you could get AM/FM/bluetooth with an AUX jack and new modern front and rear speakers without changing a thing about the way your interior and dash look. I sent an "inquiry". I believe the radio starts at about $450 (that's AM/FM and restore only- no BT). Speakers appear to be in the $50 to $65 range. Here's the link...

Let us know if you get a reply or response. The original owner that did the radio conversions passed away from a heart attack a couple years ago. The speaker side of the business was being taken over by another person.

 

I had the OEM radio for my 67 Delta done by Retro Radio in Elizabethtown, PA. They do phenomenal work. The very large original electronics board is replaced by a couple of tiny integrated modules. The original pushbutton tuning system is retained. The faceplate is cleaned and polished. Price was in the same range you were quoted.

We'll see I guess... I'd love to have a working radio. As of today, no reply from SM Electro Tech... I've seen Retro Radio on the internet

 

Joe's guy, or I can recommend a guy in MN that did my 69 AM radio into a modern machine with the original looks.
