Radio

[twa1950@xxxx]

I get to put the original AM radio back in my Gremlin. Had an aftermarket 
radio but it didn't look right? I took the AM out because there are no AM 
stations that play music here. While at a hamfest, my other hobby is amateur 
radio, I found a FM converter. I have been looking for one for four years. 
Back in the seventies when FM stations started to play rock instead of just 
classical they sold these things so you wouldn't have to buy a new radio for 
your car. Trouble was they sold for about $20. Back then for about $30 or 
$40 you could buy you a decent AM-FM radio and have stereo. So you can see 
that they weren't big sellers. This thing is a box about 6 inches by six 
inches. It has the FM dial on it. You plug your antenna in it and plug the 
wire from the box into the radio. When you wanted FM you turned it on, tuned 
your am radio to 1400 and use the dial on the box for FM. I just hope it 
works. You can tell it has never been installed it is still in the plastic. 
It had a $18.95 price tag on the box but inside it has the sale receipt where 
the lady put in it on her MC for $9.95 in 1981. Can't wait to install it. 
Now I have an old 23 channel CB might just put that in it to. How much 70 "s 
can you get. Now does anyone know where I can get a re-verb for my radio. I 
won't make you guess what a re-verb was. It was a box you connected between 
your radio and the back seat speaker. It made the sound come out of your 
back speaker a split second later than the sound out of your front speaker. 
With a lot of imagination it made your 8 track sound good.
