    Excellent!

    Let me know when it's done, how it'll function and which form of payment you prefer.

    Good to know Jim. I'll have a couple AM/FM's to send you sooner or later. Also have a box of AM's if you need them.

    Last online 3/3.

    Anyone heard from Jim regarding radio rebuilds?

    He replied to my pm the next day. I told him I"d be in contact once I was able to pull the radio out of my car that's in storage for the winter.

    I was under the impression he was going to use one he found to do for me.

    Maybe he's just busy.

    I noticed Jim hasn’t visited here recently. Has anyone been in contact with him?

    He repaired my AM/FM radio and 8 track back in November 2021. Had no issues. Shipped out Nov 1 and had it back just before Thanksgiving.

    I installed an am/fm 8 track from a 1978 Camaro in a custom bezel, into my '72 Buick GS back in 2002.

    Brett, Have a 70 gs convert. Your radio from Jim still doing ok ? Was thinking of getting one done.
    I have the rear speaker option but it has a 72 AM/FM buick radio in it now. Wanted to get it
    repaired and add Bluetooth. Glen 804*350---* 975o

    Glen,

    It's still working great. It's nice having the Bluetooth option.

    You should reach out to him and see when he could do yours. Here's his cell: 480-235-1964

    Jim is working on one of my Dodge radios right now. Mine in the 66 is still working great and the Bluetooth is great when you need hands free phone access!

    What kind of speakers are you using? Did you replace with new ones?

    Awesome. Thanks. I had called them a little over a year ago and was planning to buy from them but didn’t get to it yet.
