2 shaft radio stereo replacement

[John D]

Our 79 came with a non-functioning Blaupunkt, which I removed and saved. 

I installed a JVC two-shaft cassette am-fm that i had lying around ~5 years ago. As of yesterday the AM and the cassette deck still work but no FM. It isn't the antenna.

What's the go-to? I noticed Bob Ziff at avantiparts.biz has Custom Autosound units with Bluetooth and USB but reviews say the Retrosound units are higher quality.

is there a reliable rebuilder for the Blaupunkts?

Hate to hack it up to put a single DIN unit in, but on the other hand it's far from stock anyway...

I found a rebuilder for mine a couple of years ago, but the cost to repair it was around $500 due to the labor involved to disassemble it.  I discarded it and went with a different radio.

Crutchfield has retro units and they are pretty knowledgeable and helpful on the phone.  Mike

I purchased a Custom Autosound unit for my ‘83 Avanti about 4 years ago, replacing a ‘dead’ Blaupunkt.

It ‘s still working fine!

I think I have a new-in-the-box 1980s-vintage Sanyo AM/FM/cassette with adjustable shafts in my stash somewhere.  I have the same radio in my 74 and it fits fine.

I put a RetroSound unit in my 1980, replacing a dead Blaupunkt. I do not like it. The bluetooth is clunky, the controls are not where you expect (mute is on the right shaft, and tuning??? it's odd)

That's all I have to offer. I don't like mine.
