the only dependable solution is a complete teardown and
rebuild with ALL NEW ELECTRONICS.

BELOW IS THE LINK TO MY WORK ORDER, FOLLOWED BY MY REQUIRED PACKING METHOD
Break down a good, strong box and lay it out
flat as shown, with the corrugations running
from left to right. Place your unit as shown, with the controls facing RIGHT - not towards
you or away from you, this is IMPORTANT.
Tape the cardboard to the unit in at least 3
places to prevent the unit from sliding inside
the protective cardboard sleeve. YOU MUST
REMOVE AND KEEP YOUR KNOBS, contrary
to what the picture shows.
Roll the unit TIGHTLY around the cardboard until you have 3 or 4 layers of protection. Then tape it shut. Once finished, place the wrapped
unit into a box with AT LEAST 3 INCHES of extra padding on all sides, top and bottom.
"IS THIS WEBSITE ONLY ONE PAGE?" No - from the top of any page, click on the "hamburger" menu at the left side.
"Will my radio be more powerful?" Yes it can. Page 8 of the work order describes how this is made possible - see the work order.
"Do I need new speakers?" Yes, if we are installing a new wiring
harness in place of your radio's original connectors. In this case, all speakers should be rated to handle 30 watts RMS, or 60 watts
"peak" depending on the rating system used.
