Do a web search. There are a number of radio restorers. There was one at Carlisle last week but I can't remember their name. If anyone here still has their Corvettes at Carlisle program it will be listed in the vendors sction.

Maybe even contacting Carlisle Events people will get you the name.

Try looking through eBay as well (on the Shopping menu tab/page click on the eBay C3 Auctions link, then the Electrical category link, and finally on the C3 Radio link).  Quite a few of the items you'll find there are listed by outfits that repair/overhaul/etc radios and components.

Vette(s): #1 -1969 Corvette Coupe Riverside Gold, black interior,MN,A/C,350/350,PS,PB,window cranks. #2 -2000 C5, black/black, 6 sp, Bose system & lots of buttons.

I saw a thread on this & found the info for ya'.  Try this: RADIO Restorations, FM stereo conversions, 180 watts, 1946-1975 Solid State vibrators.  Mike Hagan, Antique Radio Repair, 235 Glouster Rd. Fairless Hills, PA 19030.  Phone:  215-547-7145.

You can have the original components repaired back to '72 or you can have the guts of the radio upgraded with current components while keeping the look of an original radio.

Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.

Here's the guy that did my '72 radio and I thought he was very reasonable. He gives you a one year warranty on parts and repair. Total repair was $210...$93.50 parts, $20 paint work, labor $75, shipping $19, insurance $2.50.

OMG...I'm falling out of the chair laughing so hard that my side are aching.     Like Felix the cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat.  Whenever he is in a fix, he reaches into his bag of tricks (like Joel).  Oh, Felix the cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat, you'll augh so much your sides will ache and your heart will go pit-a-pat, watchin' Felix the wonderful cat.  

Now if you get your radio restored from one of the great leads above........you might get lucky and hear the song above playing on your new system.  Wa-La!!
