Stock AM/FM radio...NOT A THUMBWHEEL!!!!
This is the info on the radio conversion. I had mine done by S & M Electro Tech, Inc. Phone # 877-780-2861 and web site is www.turnswitch.com. I spoke to Greg
Starting price is $385 and depending upon what you have him do, of course, it will be more.
When you look at Hemmings Motor News you will see several people listing radio conversion. Some will charge up to $600. In my research I found they are all using the same digital circuitry board. Not all have the parts to repair the radio; some I contacted wanted me to send in a spare radio for parts. Greg at S & M has the gears and can make the face plate for some of the radios. The reason I say "some" is that some Mopar radios were Canadian made and some American made. So you will have to talk to Greg about which parts he has.
On the photos attached, you will see the before and after pictures. One of the shots shows an I-pod and a CD player. The jack on the right allows playing either one of these devices. The joy stick on the left was extra and it controls the balance.
Also, if you do a digital conversion the electronics are sensitive. For example, the instructions say be careful when jumping a vehicle.
The reason I did the conversion is because on the 1970 Duster, it has the Rally dash and it will not take another radio unless you cut something. I probably spent a month talking to various individuals and Greg was the most reasonable and knowledgeable and one of the few who had the parts to fix the radio.
I am sure we have all seen Mopar radios go for a premium and the way I had mine set up ran about $450 plus shipping. But again, the beauty is it looks like a stock AM radio - plugs in to factor harness - and no one can tell that it is a fancy radio.
Hopefully this is helpful. If you have any further questions I'll be more than happy to reply.
