Hey guys,
I've got the original Delco am/fm tape radio in my 87' V10. It's a model # 16008160 according to the sticker on the side. I've got an issue where I'll hit a bump in the road, the radio cuts out, then I'll smack the underside of the dash and it sometimes comes back on. I've traced the problem down to the power/ volume knob which seems to be a bit loose. I can tap the shaft of the knob and the radio will crackle and sometimes come back on until I hit another bump. It's driving me nuts! Has anyone replaced these knobs before? I just opened up my radio and it looks like quite the process! My other option is getting it refurbished or just getting an aftermarket one that will fit in the original dash. (I'm not cutting it!)
Any recommendations on a stock replacement radio? Seems like all the aftermarket ones have horrible reviews.
Thanks!
