Description
A great working and nice looking OEM Mopar/Motorola 1968-70 B-body, or C-Body, AM/8-Track Stereo Radio for Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler cars. This is a C-Body radio that I set-up to work perfectly in 1968-70 B-Body cars. The B-Body, or C-Body radios with the 8-Track player are dimensionally and internal electronically the same.The main difference between the two radios is the faceplate/bezel design. Without the correct B-Body, or C-Body faceplates for your car, it will not mount correctly, nor will the OEM dash faceplate fit.
I have taken a photo of this radio with the C-Body faceplate (last photo) to show the important visual and front mounting differences.
If you look
closely
, the first 6 photos show that the AM orange color station indicator is set back a little with the B-Body faceplate. Additionally, the C-Body faceplate shows the thumb wheel functions, and the C-Body faceplate is shaped differently.
I have rarely come across a nicer playing radio than than this one!
The power and speaker
connectors
are uncut OEM, so just mount the radio and plug-in-to your OEM connectors and it is ready to play.
In my opinion,
the B-Body Faceplate/Bezel is about a 6-out-of-10, and the C-Body faceplate is about a 5-out-of-10.
This radio and the AM/8-Track Player with both the B-Body, and C-Body faceplates, have been thoroughly bench tested and guaranteed to work great as presented.
The AM/tuner thumb-wheel moves over the entire AM band with very little effort. The other three
thumb-wheels,
(on-off/volume, tone and balance) work exactly as specified.
The AM radio and 8-track functions were tested and adjusted for optimal performance.
The
8-Track "change track button" works perfectly, and the 8-track tapes track nicely, with
minimal
cross-talk.
I have also enclosed a good playing 8-track tape for your enjoyment.
