Do you mean removing the guts and replacing tubes with with modern solid
state parts or do you mean somehow replacing entire radio with an Alpine or Pioneer or something that will fit in the hole in the dash? wrote: I have a 57 ford radio with town and country, it is tube am.

John WA8ZPN -- Scotthttp://corbenflyer.tripod.com/ Gotta Fly or Gonna Die Building RV-4 (Super Slow Build Version) Hi Scott. what I would like to do is use the original radio and replace all the tubes with solid state. I have built a few stations over the years so it can't be that hard. John |

OK, maybe you can remove all the old guts and do some magic and put new guts (from a donor radio) into the old case? wrote: On Aug 12, 11:35?am, Scott wrote: Do you mean removing the guts and replacing tubes with with modern solid state parts or do you mean somehow replacing entire radio with an Alpine or Pioneer or something that will fit in the hole in the dash? wrote: I have a 57 ford radio with town and country, it is tube am.
