If you happen down that way, whatever you can think of to shoot would be appreciated. I've lived in a lot of countries, but Scotland is the one I'd most like to go back to. Very interesting...I will see what I can do the next time I am down that way ...jim. |

But I always wondered, why were the big Hollywood blockbuster movies about great Scots of yore filmed in Ireland? Is Scotland all that unsightly, or did Ireland's tax structure attract them more? dwight I don't know...could be that the place is a dump full of scumbags........ |

Good point...I will have to think about what you say .......what would you recommend ? remember the AM medium wave in Europe is 9Khz steps not 10Khz like the USA so it can't be digital tuning.....I have ruined the AM medium wave radio that came with the car trying to fix it so I am a bit stuck. :~( if you guys could look into this for me and give me some links to the best deals for say a manual tune radio/cassette that would fit without cutting the metal dash ? ...thanks jim (and I will stick the NOS 8track on ebay) |

It was added at the dealer. My Thunderbird had no radio when I bought it almost 30 years ago, I found an 8 track to put in it and I have a Muntz HI-FI 4 track cartridge player. No it didn't come with the car, but it is exactly something that would have been added in the late 60's. |

Or it might be the pubs. :0) |

I have a reprint of the 65 Mustang Owners Manual and in the back are options. I added the 8 Track to my first 65 Mustang. Can't recall for sure, but I think it was a Lear. Added a pair of speakers as well. |
