It’s time the tale were told
Of how you built a radio
And you never sold
Reel around the cassette
Slap on the radio
I’ll take it now
Oh...
15 pin with you
Well I wouldn’t say no.
Oh people said you were virtually dead,
And they were so wrong.
Er, actually I may have to give up the original radio department, or just get the current one repaired.
I popped into the local Fiat parts and service place to check on the price of an original Clarion radio cassette player. I know, I know, it’s the 21st Century and all that, but ... anyway.
Imagine my surprise when they quoted £255 + VAT
I declined that generous offer and enquired about the fascia panel and that was £38 + VAT, I declined that too as there was no guarantee that it would be in the same colour as the rest of the dash. See image below for one from later model.
I’ll not mention that the electric aerial doesn’t work as it doesn’t really matter at the moment.
