Radio for Spitfire Mk3

[moretonjr_4430]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a radio for my Spitfire Mk3 (1968 year).  Any suggestions?  Where to buy? etc.....

Thank you !

Do you want original, or modern-looking, or modern reproduction old-style? 

Period types such as the photo are available but usually pricey, but if you don't mind a non-specific Motorola or the like there are plenty for sale online.

You can get modern reproductions which look period but have electronic circuitry and which can be used for USB or FM radio

 

 

...and if you're going for retro-look but don't mind a not-too-close match there are plenty of modern versions on the go - there's a thread about here somewhere showing various models available for around a tenner. I've got quite fond of the one pictured below as they're cheap, sound excellent, and take both phone or usb.

Thanks Colin.  I’ve seen the Retro Sound models but I think they’re a bit pricey.  Would rather an original or modern retro for ten to twenty quid.  I can’t seem to find any, do you have any links?

The top one is the one I've bought a few of; the lower one is quite highly recommended through the forum as well. When it comes to fitting or programming, ask; sometimes the instructions need translated slightly..
