 Topic: Retro sounds shaft mount car stereo
Posted: 28 Jun 2020 at 10:56pm |

Has anyone tried the retro sounds shaft mount car stereo in a tractor yet? I'm curious how well one would hold up on a tractor, it'd be nice not to cut up the cab to mount a regular radio. Thanks

If I ever get the electrical straightened out in my 1066, just may give one a try! Looks pretty cool. Does it play 8-tracks? (No, I don't have any tapes).

My WD45 has a cheep Walmart shaft mount radio it works fine and its old. You can still get cheep Walmart radios if you order online. Or you can go to crutchfield.com and get a name brand shaft mount for that much money. I put a Boss radio in my offroad truck. It fit the old shaft mount dash has great reception and plays MP3 of either a stick or smd and connects blue tooth. It was around $30. The retro radios are a pretty generic radio with a chrome face to look good in an old car. A couple guys in the car club had them they looked good and worked well but it was a lots of money for a real cheep radio.

I need to replace a couple of the old shaft type radios in my tractors also...these are old analog dials and don't hold frequency worth a crap anymore...don't really need anything real fancy, I just take the sirrus/xm and swap it around...

My son got a $10 deal on this stereo. https://www.amazon.com/Blaupunkt-Toronto-Media-Receiver-Installation/dp/B07NJQVXDW Just have to make a DIN opening. Not a problem for the one that uses a removable plate to mount the unit.

I've got a whole bunch'a Burt Bacharach 8-tracks recorded to MP3... it'd play those... albeit without the "CahChunk" of direction changing when it was time to reverse for the next set of songs...
The worst thing about 8-tracks, is when your song was interrupted to change direction...
and that's probably why reel-to-reel was more popular for The Grateful Dead... it didn't stop to CahChunk in the middle of a song!!!!
Then there was Spiral Staircase... it had four tracks, with THE SAME SONG on each track... Unless you had QuadraSound... then it just had the same song on TWO!!!
(who says Surround Sound is 'new'? Hippies had 4.1 long before BetaMax!!!)

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.
