Welcome to ZDriver. Unfortunately, most people don't mess with the original stock radio anymore. Especially one that's 26 years old.

If you like the stock radio, eBay or the junk yard.

The only other thing I can think of is to replace it with a new stereo. If you like the nostalgia of the original radio, then you can do what I did and install the new one in the glove box so it's tucked away. Mine is just an amplifier for my iPod and it doesn't serve any other purpose.

Good luck.

A friend of mine sent his off and had some company repair it,(the head unit that is, they probably work on cassettes too). I will try to find out from him where he sent it and let you know.

Unless someone on the board has one to give you for free, for an absolutely basic head unit w/ tape deck, here's one from Crutchfield for $39.99

You can't get much cheaper than that.

For $79.99 you can get this Kenwood with front panel AUX input perfect for an MP3 player:

Then you don't have to mess with CD's or cassettes ever again! I have AUX input decks in every vehicle I own now. My iPod follows me around and I have my entire audio library and about 2 dozen movies with me where ever I go.

the only thing i have is the radio i think, i can go check i thought it would be cool to keep but thinking about it i dont think i'll ever use it again.

Yeah...I have extra ones lying around too. Problem is...it would be a pain to test them...to make sure they work. I wouldn't want to sell something that does not work at all. No promises...but I will see what I can do. Maybe I can test them in my slicktop or maybe even my other Z. Just hook them up, and see if they work.

acually come to think of it i can test mine, the origonal plug is still in the car, thankfully circuit shitty didnt hack it out

edit:
no worky

I have no idea. When I took it out it operated the antenna, and the "stereo wide" feature worked like a charm.

It's spent the last 13 years in a cloth bag in my garage...
