About 8 Track Players and Car Radios in General

Times Sure Have Changed!

Your original classic car radio, with or without an 8 track player, can no longer be RELIABLY repaired to original stock due to parts availability issues.  In fact, even the modern radio on the left will be replaced, not repaired, when it fails.  This is the state of the industry now.


But thanks to AURORA DESIGN conversion products, I can rebuild your ORIGINAL radio internally with ALL NEW parts, with other modern features available such as FM, Bluetooth, USB for playing music stored on a thumb drive, and even HD Radio for reception of digital radio stations.


DON'T WORRY - YOUR CONVERTED RADIO'S LOOK WILL NOT CHANGE AS IT APPEARS IN THE DASH -           THE ONLY VISIBLE CHANGE IS CLEANING !


If your radio has a built-in 8 track player, you came to the right guy - it's my specialty!  Prices for conversion options:


Radio-only unit   440.00         Radio w/8 Track   575.00

Convert BOTH - Radio and Separate 8 Track    795.00


Add Bluetooth  149.00         Add USB   125.00

Packing Your Unit For Safe Arrival (REQUIRED, Not Optional)

Step 1

Step 1

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Step 1

Step 1

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.

Step 3

Step 1

Step 3

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

"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.
