Hi guys - quick radio question,
I was looking at how to take the stock AM radio out of my 64 Galaxie. It works great, but I'm looking to send it out to get an iPod jack added in while the car is in storage this winter. When I was poking around, I accidentally popped the antenna cable off the radio and can't get it back in. I thought it was hooked in by some sort of plug in jack, but instead, there was just a rough piece of cable end with frayed strands of copper that slid out. When I tried to slide it back in, it didn't work anymore - no reception at all. The more I try and slide, the more frayed the cable gets...
2 questions:
1) is there a trick to getting the cable reattached to the radio?
2) Does anyone have step by step instructions for removing a radio from a 64? I don't want to bugger anything else up when I try and remove it.
Thanks everyone!
