I'm old enough to remember them when they were new...... they were crap then.... around the same time as they came out, radio 1 made the switch to FM, and we were all running round with audioline radio cassettes with graphic equalisers......and throwing am radios in the cut....

he's ok he's old......
i gathered by the fact hes going on like an old man with the old, back in my day when the fm radio came out.... lol
its ok he gets his pills at 11pm.....
look, just because you took it out & wiped it with bumper cleaner doesn't make it a good radio... it isn't 'retro', in terms of post modernistic irony, but in terms of a step back to a worse condition, then it is retro.....
its ok he gets his pills at 11pm.....
I don't take pills, the lad asked an opinion & he is getting it.
why don't we all fit the 1.0 ohv engines back into our novas cos they are retro too

alright calm down.... lol i actually just found it at a breakers yard and was like bugger it looks cool why not take it and didnt even cost me anything because i left it in my bag and walked out and forgot about it but paid for everything else! and havent even wiped the thing i thought it was quite dirty. assumptions are not cool
and i did ask for an opinion but come on, calm down lol
apart from the fact that they were gutless, and noisy, and heavy??????

yeh but there retro!!!! as you so delicatly put it
btw joking
nova saloon, I am calm, but I hate the use of the term retro to attempt to claim something is great.... an AM radio is just obsolete these days, and that sort really was cheap tat.. it was fitted to the lowest base model cars just so they could say it came with a radio...
Well if you love your fussy old radio thing so much why dont you keep it and put it on your shelf where you can see it everyday:thumb:
