Anybody know where I can get a somple AM/FM/ stereo?
Does anyone have a suggestion on a good quality AM/FM stereo without all the MANY bells & whistles (bluetooth/remote control/pandora/iHeart/etc. etc. etc.)? All I really want is a good receiver that maybe has a few presets & an aux. input that is EASY to control with as few buttons/***** as possible.
I want to put it in my 8-track console in my 70-442. The original stereo is in it's original location, but just for looks - stopped working years ago. I had an old pioneer in the 80's that was decent sound & 2 *****; one for volume/of & on/bass/treble, & a second **** for channel selection, but can't seem to find one now that doesn't take an engineering degree to use! And, a tongue in cheek pet peeve of mine - WHY would I need a remote control for my car stereo??!?

I assume you are not looking for one of the expensive retro-sound radios.
As you have found out, there are very few twin-shaft stereos still on the market. Old ones are always available at swap meets - I got a Dual with aux input for $10. Pyle still sells a new one with aux input, SD card, and USB.

Comes in real handy if the remote-controlled stereo is mounted someplace out of reach. Like in the glove box of a cherry 1970 442 that has the original stereo in the dash but the owner wants another one that works.

Ya'll making me laugh. I found a WalMart special $20 FM & MP3 only. I bought it & installed it yesterday, thinking for that price it's almost disposable if it turns out terrible. Actually sounds very adequate. Now if I can only figure out how to use the remote!
