'71 SJ Radio
 
Anybody know a good place to send a factory FM radio to be fixed? The radio was not working when I bought the car and its got power to it so it must be internal. I would like to keep the stock radio that came with this car and just have it repaired. Any suggestions?

Sorry I haven't been on this board for awhile, so missed you post. In case you haven't had your radio repaired yet, I would like to add my thoughts to the issue. The radio in my '72 Vette crapped out so I took it to a quality repair shop and dropped $200 into bringing it right back to OEM. It sounded good and worked good....just like it did when it was new 34 years ago.....in a word, funky. Not much volumn, even less base, and a real overall tinny sound. So back to a custom radio guy who kept the dash appearance totally stock, but put in a solid state tuner and amplifier. Now I have full four-channel stereo at 60 watts per channel. Replace the old GM speakers with some nice ones that match the power output of the radio and I have tunes now that rival the system in my 2005 Jag. So in short, I suggest that you save your bucks restoring your radio to "like new" because they weren't so hot when they were new. I'm totally blown away with my new sound.

Hope this helps...
