[Healeys] Radio for BJ8

[Oudesluys]

That depends what you want.
Do you want a period radio which would normally be AM only or do you 
want FM as well? Mono or Stereo?
What kind of output do you want? Period radio's are about 5W. Later 90's 
radio's pump out up to 25W modern radio's go way beyond that. A separate 
amplifier can help out of course. Some early radio's have a DIN socket 
that can be used as an input for your I-pod/phone. This was originally 
intended for an accessory e.g. tape deck or gramophone etc. These are 
usually the German radio's like Grundig, Blaupunkt, Schaub-Lorenz/ITT, 
some Philips and Japanese radio's.
Post 1960 radio's are fully transistorized.
Let me know what you want and I can send some pictures. I have hundreds 
of old radio's starting from the mid-thirties. Many are for sale. Mainly 
German/Dutch/Japanese made. Some AM radios with 8-track player from 
Radiomobile (UK) or Voxson (Italy).
You can source them locally at specialists or through ebay. Use Google 
to find them. There are several suppliers of refurbished/restored 
radio's in the UK and in Germany.
Shipping from Europe should be around $30 up to 2kg or $45 up to 5kg 
insured up to $550.
Go for a speaker that fits properly in the space provided and is rated 
at about twice the radio output. For a classic radio a 10-15W speaker is 
fine. A very high rating may lead to a weak and distorted sound. Do not 
expect super quality sound like from a modern radio.
