A Sound Decision: Enjoy Today's Radio Technology, Yesterday's Style!
When your Volkswagen sound system is on its last leg, you have a few options for an upgrade. From a full restoration of your original radio, to a pairing of retro looks and modern technology, to all the benefits of today’s looks and function, the possibilities are only limited by your desires!
Radio Restoration
If your VW is a regular on the show circuit, you may want to consider a restoration of your existing radio. Simply send your Air-Cooled VW 6V or 12V AM/FM radio to the experts. Your radio undergoes extensive quality assurance testing, repairs are made where necessary and your radio receives a 1 year warranty, returning to you with improved detail and enhanced operation.
