I just purchased the AC/Delco AM/FM Cassette to use in my 80 Z28 with a Bluetooth cassette adapter. After watching this video I hope I don't have to replace the belt. Haha Thanks for sharing this video! 😊

It's big job good and nice. Thanks. Yesterday. Morning I worked 4 hours to repair and clean GM radio fm, am. For my buick regal. I HAD PROBLEM WITH RIGHT PUTON. THE ruler move but not complete. The symptoms for this problem the Frequency movement not enggaged with rotation. I WILL TRY TO FIX IT AGAIN. GREETINGS.

[@DoingMoreKustoms]

Very nice, sounds like you have a solid plan on attacking the issues. I wish you the best of luck friend. take care.

I remember the AM radio in my first truck that had to warm up. Tubes, anyone? Photos as you take it apart would save my bacon. Thank you for showing us how it is done, DeeMan. Stay safe

[@DoingMoreKustoms]

Agh yes, the good old tube radios. I've been searching for a few online but too ( car and home) expensive, i will wait for yardsales to kick back up as soon as this virus endemic draws a near end. Thanks for watching my Friend, cheers =)

@@DoingMoreKustoms I am waiting for yard sales as well. Tentative date up here is May 12. But I lucked out the other day. Across the street from us is moving and had a table of free stuff. Picked up a parasol studio light and stand, and coconut and leather handbag and a casio mini digital camera 8 megapixel all for free. Have to get the cable for the camera but it is on its way. Thank you for the reply, DeeMan

[@douglashoff95]

Same as the one that my parents had in their 1977 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale. Single direction play cassette mechanism, fast forward but no rewind.

[@richardbrady2818]

I have the same unit in my 1986 chevy pick up, rather statickey now I can rip it apart and hope for the best, thanks

[@DoingMoreKustoms]

Fingers crossed !! Thanks for watching Bud.

[@augustusmontecarlo2160]

What size is the cassette belt

[@DoingMoreKustoms]

I'm sorry I have forgotten it as it has been 2 years ago unfortunately. If I come across it, I'll be sure to come back here.

[@JadeSchafer]

Man I'd get lost in all that wiring. Great work my friend.

[@DoingMoreKustoms]

LOL.... come on I have faith in you !!! Thanks for Watching my Friend...take care =)

[@johnp82]

would this repair be the same for other GM AC Delco radios from 1986?

[@DoingMoreKustoms]

I believe it would be close to this model. Thanks for watching !!!

[@bofarisdrama]

Thank you for this beautiful report, but I am suffering from a problem with audio ic number dm98a and I have not been able to get a new one. I found a used one worth $30

[@DoingMoreKustoms]

Thank you for watching. Yes, hard to find one for a good deal. I was lucky to find this one at a yard sale. Thanks again, take care.

[@bretthair4249]

I have the same radio and on cassette mode it only plays from the left speaker but not the right. On am/fm it plays from both. Any suggestions?

[@bofarisdrama]

Thank you, because the ic sound is broken and difficult to hack currently. But there is another solution, which is to connect the right speaker to the left so that they are on one line

[@johnsutera6733]

great tune up......would you consider selling it ? I like old school radios

[@DoingMoreKustoms]

Thank you , unfortunately I sold this radio a while back. Thank you for watching !!!

[@smokeydabeecharlescoleman8365]

Where are you located, do you refurbish for others ?

[@DoingMoreKustoms]

Unfortunately I don't do refurbs for others at the moment Smokeydabee.

[@ericchapman8956]
