Forgive my reply to the whole group, but I couldn't figure out how to reply only to Don, who had asked about rebuilders for AM/FM radios. What year radios are you talking about-early '80s as you reference below, or something else? Do you want to merely have them rebuilt to the specs they had out of the factory, or be converted to more modern electronics with CD capability? My mechanic had an AM/FM with reverb out of my '65 Bonneville rebuilt to factory specs from a company in Kansas, and it came out quite nice. The reverb in that car is a bit brassy, not refined as the one in the '66 Imperial. But then what else should I expect, when the Bonneville is a tarted-up glamour-barge and the Imperial is a statement of refined Engelicious elegance!
He said to rebuild to factory specs is about $250-$300; a conversion is about $550. I can get you contacts if you're interested.
