Looking for someone that can fix my AM/8track radio out of the Runner.

someone that knows this type radio and will not rake me on repair.

tapeplayer works but the tuner knob just keeps spinning and it was working before :huh:

Thanks,

Bill

Sounds like the drive belt inside broke. You might want to pop the cover and see if there is a broken elastic belt in there. If so, take it out and go to Radio Shack or another electronics place that sells electronic parts and see if you can find one the same size.

There's a guy on Moparts that fixes radios named BigMoneyLewis or something like that. I have no personal experience with him.

That said, I fixed a AM-FM radio that had a similar problem. The plastic bevel gear that drove the tuner had split in two and I just glued it back together.

Will pop the top off and see if I can find anything of what has been said.

If not I will get ahold of ward and see what he has to say.

But it will have to wait till I make a trip to see mac :thumbsup:
