AM or AM-FM.  Conversion to new electronics. Can also greatly boost output power.  If radio is

AM only, it comes back with FM stereo also.

Convert both units for optimum system sound and performance.  REQUIRES ALL NEW SPEAKER WIRING AND SPEAKERS.

After conversion, this model will no longer play

QUAD tapes due to the conversion electronics

having only 2 discrete audio channels.

The conversion electronics require the inductive properties of an ANALOG tuner and 

the controls have a very short lifespan.

Poor candidates for conversion due to smaller and cheaper controls, cheaper lightweight 8 track mechanism and limited internal space.

For an additional 50.00 I will replace the head preamp with my own design for much brighter

sound and hotter output.

Covers most recording decks except Akai and Wollensak.  A new motor will cost an extra 49.00 on medium grade recording decks.

New motor is INCLUDED, as all high end Akais

run just a bit slow and are not adjustable.  My new motor will have ADJUSTABLE SPEED.

New motor is INCLUDED, as it is the main point of failure on all Wollensak recorders.  My new motor is ADJUSTABLE SPEED.

New motor is INCLUDED, as all high end Akais

run just a bit slow and are not adjustable.  My new motor will have ADJUSTABLE SPEED.

Repair to 8 track section ONLY.  Radio section must be working through both speakers.  Price

varies depending on size and features.

Too difficult to pack safely, too much chance of significant damage, and I'm simply getting too old to handle such large and heavy packages.

If I can't replace the motor, I won't take the job. Such motors are no longer available, and their

failure rate DOESN'T improve with age.  Thus, long term reliability cannot be guaranteed.

I don't custom-build echo chambers using 8 track parts, convert home units for car use or do anything far outside a unit's design purpose.

For wireless steaming and hands-free phone use.  Comes with both internal and external mic  for convertibles to overcome wind/road noise.  Bluetooth is our most popular add-on!

For charging and playing songs stored on a thumb drive.  WILL NOT EXCHANGE DATA WITH OTHER USB-EQUIPPED DEVICES.

Save 49.00 on the pair.  Wireless streaming, hands-free phone, charge portable devices and  play 1000's of songs from a thumb drive!

Make your radio future-proof by adding the capability of receiving digital stations.  Note that not all cities currently offer digital stations.  If you live in a smaller town, check availability.

On this type of radio ONLY, I offer a full set of ALUMINUM, UNBREAKABLE replacements painted black to match the originals.  Available ONLY as part of a conversion job.

You never know when you might need a way to feed an ANALOG signal through your newly converted radio, so let's take care of that: Aux

input is INCLUDED with all radio conversions.
