Hi, I tried the AUX input mod on my broken factory AM Philco Radio... Swapped out the capacitors and the radio worked great, so I cut in an AUX jack too. It's a cheap hack, but seems to work great. I put some pics here... http://palaceofkibble.com/Philco%20AUX.htm Am still looking for a good replacement speaker. Seems like there is not much out there for 2 watt 2.3 Ohm dash speakers :P

Simplyspeakers is new to me, pretty cool site. Am going to watch some of their repair videos and see what I can learn. I had heard that the Ken Harrison Model SP 570 for 67 through 73 Mustangs should be a direct fit and it's about 20 bucks. Anyone used one of of them ? Pintocrazed their are shops that do just that. They gut your radio and put in everything you can think of, inputs, outputs, bluetooth, the works. You turn the power off-on-off-on and rotate through the modes very spiffy.

Here is what I did-
Replaced the mono speaker with a dual coil speaker that fit exactly-

This guy also gutted my am and made it into an am/fm with an aux input... Have it hooked up to my iPhone to stream music/gps when I' m driving...
