I am looking for a dual-shaft stock stereo for my 82. I don't care if it's a cassette player or just a standard am. It doesn't even need to work, as long as it will fill the empty hole in my dash. Keyword here is CHEAP.
If I can find it, I might still have the Panasonic HU (cassette w/ shafts) I used in my '80 for quite a few years before a major stereo upgrade. It worked fine when I took it out. Let me know if interested, and I'll see if I even have it, yet!
got it for you. Not OEM, Audiovox AM/FM cassette with three band e.q. Dont know if it works. No reasonable offer plus shipping charges refused.
Why don't you just put a pocket in?
Here's a pic so you know what I'm talking about.

Probably because the hole is a rectangle and two circles, not one big rectangle.
^^Yep^^
Plus I plan on modifying the internals to act as little more than a switch to power on an amplifier. I also plan on installing a 1/8" inch headphone jack to receive from a source, such as an mp3 player. Modern sound options with vintage stock appearance. If anyone else is interested in such a project, I will do a write-up when I get everything figured out.
bike70ride and backn9, I have aftermarket dual shaft radios lying around as well, but must be OEM. Thanks anyway.
Oh you're no fun.
You haven't experienced the full 2-post stereo thing until you've put a cassette-to-MP3 adapter into an 8-track-to-cassette adapter, and THEN cranked up those awesome 7 watts of cracklin' power to get the full digital-to-buttstuffog conversion from your iPod.
Now THAT is...well, it's dumb, but it works for me.
Mr. Eric-PLEASE post a pic of this! I gotta see what that looks like.
Was it 7 watts? Maybe total, 1.75w per channel...
And I thought it sounded awesome. the best digital quality 8-track I ever heard.
Heh...thanks, Jerry. We're just too old school for these young whippersnappers. ;)
Sorry to hijack the thread but there was a request, so here you go:
Bonus points if you know who's playing on the iPod...(http://www.coolcats.net/ximages/8trackcassadapt01.jpg)

NICE! I used to do something similar with the deck I described. Not quite as involved, but this WAS the early 90s...
Sony CarDiscman routed thru the cassette adapter. High end (as much as could be) line level converter for pre-amp signal to trunk mounted amp. :D
Ill have to keep my eye out for ya. There are tons of those head units in the local pick a part. My one buddy is stopping over tonight. Ill have to see if he still has the stocker from his Cougar
I also had the diskman in my cougar in the early 90s..... Good times.... At least until I hit a bump, or the air in the car got to cold and the laser lens would fog up. :hick:
My buddy has 2 of em. If ya want em just pay the shipping. The one that came outta his car still works.
Here are pics of both of em. One is Cassette & AM/FM the other is just AM/FM

The cassette unit still even plays cassettes.
Let me know man.

I'll take the cassette player if the mounting bracket is included (my bracket is also missing). Let me know how much $$ shipped to 50014. I'll throw in a little extra for your trouble.
Thats the greatest thing I've seen all week!!!
The shipping is $9 via UPS Ground. Yeah man the bracket comes with. Just drop me a PM with your address. My paypal acct is jandmmustangs@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Justin
