<DIV>There is a guy named Roy Yost in the Redwood City, CA. area who does old
radios. I only know of him as “Radio Roy” on the Studebaker site. I’ve
never had any business with him. But, with many Tiger owner in the Bay Area
maybe they have used his services can comment on price/quality?</DIV>

<DIV id=yui_3_16_0_1_1427744219786_10922 dir=ltr>I purchased a similar kit
several years ago and had the radio rebuilt with digital AM/FM/Aux components
and have never looked back. I saved the original internal organs for
posterity. I used a shop in Crystal, MN that was recommended by our MN
Street Rod Association. I'm sure you could find someone more local to
you.</DIV>

<DIV id=yui_3_16_0_1_1427744219786_10519 dir=ltr>BTW, you can get a single
speaker with dual cones to handle the stereo wiring if you choose to go that
direction. I think it was the late, great Steve Laifman that recommended
using small marine speakers under the dash on port and starboard to expand the
stereo sound. I did this and love the results. And no one can tell
by looking at the set up. Folks love the look of the LAT-72 installed at
shows!</DIV>

<DIV class=y_msg_container>Hey, guys:<BR><BR>I'm now deep into the electrical
restoration of my Tiger, as in installing a complete harness from British
Wiring. I've got all the wiring out of the car at this point and am taking
care of a few other items that need attention under the dash before it all goes
back in, and one of those items is my radio. I have a LAT-72 Motorola
radio kit in my car that has never worked. The reason it has never worked
(and I found out the hard way...) is because the radio itself is a positive
ground unit out of an earlier Alpine. Unfortunately, when you hook up a
positive ground radio in your Tiger without realizing it's a positive ground
unit, all you get after a few seconds of music is "sizzle sizzle," and then
nothing. I've been told by folks before that the ground orientation on a
radio can easily be switched, so here's my question...do any of you guys know
where I might be able to send this radio to have that done and then have it
repaired? I'm not looking for a high-quality audio experie<BR>nce here; I
just want it to work and play over the single speaker provided with the LAT-72
kit. Can anyone point me in the right direction?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Andy
Walker<BR>Edmond,
