Dear Scott,

 

                        That is extremely interesting and that is a hot tip.  Thanks.

   Dear Forum,



                   My ancient AM/FM/cassette no longer plays cassettes
  and, therefore, the cassette-MP3 adaptor doesn't work and I am left
  with the radio.   I expect to drive from Oklahoma City to Phoenix and
  road tunes in the vast expanse of the great American Southwest would be
  good.


                   The nearby car stereo shop knows Panteras and offered
  what I wanted, but the modern units require cutting the dash to fit.  I
  was told that the "chassis" size of the Pantera is no longer
  manufactured.  Sigh.


                    I was not keen on cutting the dash.  They offered the
  option of a company that services the owners of classic and vintage
  vehicles,  Custom Auto Sound,   [1]https://customautosoundmfg.com/ .
  They offer stereos that fit and have the required functions.  They look
  a bit retro, but I do think that they could work aesthetically and
  sonically.


                   Anyone have any recommendations for my conundrum?  Oh,
  and no Bluetooth and no smarty phone.


                            Curious,  Chuck Engles
