[robthedonkey]

only details are sanyo, 12v 8 watts on label, am/fm radio 8 track (same as a radio cassette player) no model id anywhere.

 

it has 5 wires

live

earth

3 speaker wires presume left,right common earth.

 

plan is to use two modern speakers hidden behind period grilles, I have roughly an A4 paper size area to hide an amp( something to boost sound level).

presume this is what I need to be able to hear it at higher speed i'm not looking to shatter windows or win a sound off, my other tinas have modernish cd players to are ok for what I need.

 

thanks for any help advice.

First off youll need to convert the low power speaker signals to rca with one of these.....

Then the amp itself... for just door speakers we only need minimal power but multi channel so i reccomend....

 

Budget 2 speaker:

Bit more money but loads better quality and up to four speakers:

Obvs can use other amps but will need a channel per speaker and dont buy a mono amp thats for subs...

 

And dont forget wiring kit!!

cheers this stuff is clear as mud to me.

 

if we where talking cams,heads,lsd's,comp ratio's, etc then i'm in my element.

 

am I right in thinking the second one would allow the 2 speakers in & 4 out?

not much use to me in a pickup cab, but every days a school day

I've got a stack of model railway magazines here.

Free if anyone wants them.

All I ask is that you come and collect, too many to post.

Located Rainham, Essex.

 

Or, if you're feeling extremely generous, you can give me an 850/S or V70 T5 auto with full mot and service history.

 

Come and get them if you want them.

PM me for details, sil vous plait.

Ford sound 2000 from my long dead 1990 Sierra. I don't have the code and it seems to be locked out - three dashes appear in the display. These fit a lot of congemporary Fords - this is pre-RDS! How did we manage?

 

It's going to the tip unless anyone can use it.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Is it easy to get them unlocked?

[egg]

Is it easy to get them unlocked?

 

On my (admittedly later) Fusion, the codes themselves can be obtained for free from various online sources....

[Ghosty]

Aren't the dashes the code entry thingy?

[AlabamaShrimp]

The dashes are where the code goes when you repeatedly press the big buttons on the front.

 

Sod it. If you've still got it I'll have it. Might make me pull my finger out and get the centre console screwed into the Fiesta.

[Tamworthbay]

Mk1 mx5 manual propshaft free for collection if anyone wants it.

[Urko]

The dashes are supposed to flash - these didn't, and no buttons I pressed made anything else happen so it may be kaput.  Alabama - PM me your address and I will send to you (if you still want it).

[Sealtainn]

You'll probably find the incorrect code has been entered too many times and it's locked out. The lockout goes up each time, 5 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins etc

Wire it up and leave the ignition on so the dashes are showing for 15 mins (or possibly longer) and it should reset itself to code input and the dashes will flash

Any use to anyone?  Have had various suggestions as to it's origin - Vauxhall seems to be the stand out.

I pulled it out of a hedge yonks ago - FTAGH obviously...

 

[trigger]

Stick it in the freezer for a day or so.

[binhoker668]

Will that clean the mud off?

[Lankytim]

Isn't it from a Nissan Laurel or something?

[smellypoo]

That radio is a blast from the past! Dad had exactly the same one in his 1990 Ford Orion, chewed tapes up from new! Re: codes, this might help: http://www.freefordradiocode.co.uk

 

I remember that rumour about putting them in the freezer to wipe the code, no idea if there was any truth/science/logic behind it. They were commonly nicked though, at least in the badlands of  late 80's - mid 90's Essex...

[Landy Mann]

Or try http://www.unlockforum.com/forumdisplay.php/free-car-radio-unlock-codes-190.html  it seems to work and normally very quickly.

Anybody want a roofbox?

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a Halfords kar-rite 300/400 series and has spent most of its life sikaflexed to the top of a campervan that my mate was breaking, as a result it's quite weather worn but it's watertight and in full working order.

 

I was planning to put it on my camper but it casts a massive shadow on my solar panel so that's that plan cancelled.

 

Because it was permanently bonded to a camper roof It's u bolts have been lost along the way, so you'd need to get some from somewhere, but internal straps, plates etc are still there.

 

Dimensions are about 110×95×40cm

 

If you want it, it's yours for free... but maybe winging a forum donation over to daveb47 would be good after the recent server issues?

 

Collect from Liverpool. It will fit in an Astra etc if you haven't got roofbars or u bolts.

 

Cheers

I have two packets of these for anyone who can make use of them for the price of P+P?

• 

Only ever opened to see that they're no use to me.

 

Post resurrection. Still got these, still getting grief for not getting rid of my crap. Any use to ANYone?

Last time I was home visiting my folks, mother gm produced this little beauty from the attic - when fatha gm bought a brand new toyota corolla back in the eighties, he decadently had them install a stereo radio cassette (with dobly, no less) so this fine specimen has never been used :

 

 

 

 

free to a fellow shiter (probably less than a tenner postage, I can check, or collect from falkirk, scotchland)

 

does anyone have a period toyota that could give it a new home ? or shall I bung it on the blue forum for £loads ?

 

this is the very car that it belonged to, my very young self perched on the bonnet in groovy green shorts

 

[Christine]

/\ " JPB " on Practical Classics site would love that for his Toyota

[Tamworthbay]

Can I have the radio please, it will be perfect for my project.
