You don't really need a schematic. The older radios don't
have very many of these, and they are easy to spot. Just
replace them all. Bruce Roe

Those old radios might be fine, with some new
speakers and replace any internal polarized caps.

Electrolytic capacitors... the ones with polarity on them... they tend to
dry out and get "leaky" with age. Replacing all of them in a radio can
bring it back to life. If you had a schematic and some electronical

Some of the capacitors use chemicals to get very high

Any suggestions for compensating for the 10 ohm speaker (mine is c. 1968).

the dash of a '70-'72 Cutlass without any modifications? I looked at
Custom Autosound's web site and the center section of the radio looks
kinda big, but I can't really tell much from an internet picture. Even

Thanks for the kudos. I had actually considered building a few of these
for profit but as you noted it is a lot of work. The price I would have
to charge to make it worthwhile would probably be higher than most
people would want to pay. The basic idea is pretty simple. It's just a

ork though - did you ever consider doing it for $$?

A better bet may be to go with a retrofitted stock Oldmobile/Delco
shaft-mount radio and then mount a modern DIN-style receiver und
io reception and the DIN would provide the CD and iPod
functionality you seek. This is the most robust option, and also the
most expensive.
