Luckily the previous owner kept the original radio/CD with the car, which I had re-installed. Unfortunately, The CD player does not work, and the display does not light up to show radio stations or the time on the clock. I am hoping someone in the club can help me locate a used WORKING radio to put in it. I have researched the parts stores that are sponsors of this club, however I have not found anyone that has such a unit. I have not yet tried researching local junk yards. I look forward to reading the EAGLE and being a part of the club! Thank you! Terry Hilbert Bettendorf, Iowa A: I read your story on page 14 of the August 2022 issue concerning finding a source for repaired and remanufactured radios, including TAs, Firebirds, Formulas, etc. I had my TA’s radio-CD player repaired or swapped out for a good-as-new unit several times. The article did not seem to provide contact information for the author, Terry Hilbert of Bettendorf, Iowa. I don’t know if he has tried the folks at United Radio. Their email address is automotive@unitedradio.com and their web address is https://www.unitedradio.com . Their Automotive Electronics Division is located in Syracuse, NY. Their phone #s are 800 448-0944 and 315 446-5570. I have used United Radio products and services in the past and was always happy with the outcome. Could you please forward my recommendation to Terry Hilbert. Charles Synborski Original owner of 1994 TA GT Editor’s Note: Thank for your assistance in this matter. We forwarded your answer to Terry Hilbert when we received this. Return to NFTAC Tech Tips Page
