robthedonkey Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 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 wiresliveearth3 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..... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=181189698050&alt=web Then the amp itself... for just door speakers we only need minimal power but multi channel so i reccomend.... Budget 2 speaker: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=262354516423&alt=web Bit more money but loads better quality and up to four speakers: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=351550459271&alt=web 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!! http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=261958442828&alt=web Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk strangeangel, Bfg and colino 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urko Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Is it easy to get them unlocked? On my (admittedly later) Fusion, the codes themselves can be obtained for free from various online sources.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaShrimp Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 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. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urko Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 The dashes are supposed to flash - these didn't, and no buttons I pressed made anything else happen so it may be kaput.

Sealtainn Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 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 etcWire 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smellypoo Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 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... oldcars 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keymaster Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 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 eddyramrod, Lankytim and strangeangel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 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 oldcars, Bucketeer, Astorey90 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
