This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    You need a fader for the rear speaker to work

    Interesting. Anyone have a picture of how that was set up from factory?

    Figured it out. Checked my old radio and I see the differences in the knobs.
    Thanks for the help

    Just wanted to say this thread was immensely helpful.

    Found a 1967 GS400 AM/FM radio after years of searching. My car originally had one and I thought it would be cool to put one back in.

    It was pretty dirty and I was doubtful it would work without a rebuild but it was at least all there.

    Took the radio apart to repair the Am/fm dial cord and clean a few things up but I didn't replace any components. Tried to bench test it but the volume was super low and nothing really happened other than a speaker thump.

    I just barely moved the bias adjustment pot on the bottom of the radio and it started working perfectly. You could actually see the change in amp draw from almost 3 amps down to 1 amp once I moved the adjustment pot. I dialed it in to 1.5volts after that. I am actually amazed at how good it sounds. No static, just clear sound, even with my hacked together antenna setup.

    I can't wait to get it back in the car. Both my front and rear speakers were blown so I picked up some new 10 ohm speakers from S&M Electro Tech. I am not looking forward to removing the dash speaker, however.
