at first i wanted to get an original radio but found it to hard to locate one and cheap.so just put mine in the glove box.

i have original 60's and 70's radio black pannels new found in moth eaten boxes never used.

Hi Kylie,

Firstly, a Radio that works on AM only... ??

what model beetle do You have ?

I fitted a New JVC cd player to My beetle without too much trouble... just had to file the opening a bit..
had a cassette player/radio in it before..

You could of course get an old radio that fits in the hole but doesn't work.... if its only for looks?

but a nice new Radio/CD player can be fitted easily Kylie...

If You look around on ebay or swap meets You may find a late 70's early 80's radio/tape player fairly easily...
and for not much money...

I have seen old restored car radios at swap meets for sale...
not cheap.....

cheers
