Hi, Has anybody had there original radio converted to work on fm, if so who by.
My 62 mk2 has His Masters Voice push button still fitted so I would like to keep it as original.

Hi there,

I've just removed the original PYE P2100T push button radio from my S-type, hopefully to have it converted.
I've e-mailed this site, http://www.retroretreat.co.uk/ ,as they seem to reasonably priced & offer the service I'm looking for.

I'll let you know the outcome when I get a reply...

cheers, Peter.

Hello Dave
I had my Hitachi radio converted by Vintage Wireless (adverts in JEC Mag), but it was not a success. Tuning is awkward (too sensitive), the radio does not stay on station and needs continual fiddling with. The sound output is too low for use when the car is running, and is only just audible when it is not. Inside the case, a small printed circuit board with the new components has been suspended by its connecting wires to various points on the original board, and just hangs in mid-air. The conversion of the push button switches to incorporate the tuning potentiometer is nicely done though. I was expecting better for £200.
Best wishes, David

Hi

I also had my radio converted by Vintage Wireless and it works will no volume issues, true as you drive up and down the country the station needs to be retuned.
I also had them add a remote jack to which I used to use with a CD walkman in the glove box. now I use it with my Tom-Tom and have an SD card with various music on it.
