Alpine & Tiger Radios

[tylerite3124]

Were all the radios installed in Alpines & Tigers by dealers once the cars arrived in the US? Or were they installed at the factory before shipping here? Is there a specific make/model of radio that was installed? I have seen aftermarket surround reproductions. Are they still being made? Any help with information will be much appreciated.

Volvoguys (Mark Davis) is knowledgeable on them.

I just sold on on ePay . There's a couple of Radiomobile ones. A couple of guys repop the big one one in the UK the other in AU . I haven't been shopping lately or seeing much activity from them but they're casing is made out of plastic. They look great but you have to take them out if you want to do anything under the dash. My latest car came with a radio mounted in it but it was a later Japanese AM/FM. In the small stamped steel late version holder. Fortunately I had found one some time ago with the Motorola plastic box speaker on eBay locally, back in the days when it was easy to snipe a out of eBay transaction. The later plastic boxes and the single small stamped steel were correct for the later cars. Although others list the big box one with a 5x7 speaker hanging directly below with the millboard enclosure.
