'91 Volvo 240 Radio

[Rich Williams]

Can anyone help me get my hands on a replacement radio for a 1991 Volvo 240.
It is a wierd shape, as is the slot in the dash for it, and it seems that
nothing but the original radio type will fit.
Thanks in anticipation

If your original radio is in the upper dash, then I know that aftermarket
stereos will fit. I've helped a friend install one in there. Check
crutchfield.com, and use their "what fits my car" option.

I have an original Volvo radio/cassette player that was in my '92 240. Would
that be the same size as the '91?
It works well and is simply sitting in my storage room.

This is a easy car for aftermarket, just buy a dash kit at the ol
Circuit City, only thing that may make it difficult is if you have a
factory amp, located in the bottom of the dash center section, they you
have to tap onto the speaker wires from there. I did it myself and it
took about an hour.

I have a 240 (1990 Volvo) original volvo radio+cassette player. The cassette
player is not working- it got shorted when I plugged in a CD player tape
connection device. But the radio works great.

My mechanic pulled it out and installed a Panasonic CD/radio player instead
for $400. They were expensive back then.

I can send u digital photos if u want. Or I can post it on one of the binary
newsgroups.

I can let u have it for $20. But u have to pay for postage+packaging - which
might cost a bit- I'm living in Australia.
