Hi all,  

Question:  Does anyone have a bench testing procedure for a stock '72 radio?  I'm hoping to get the radio in my '72 240z working.  I've removed the radio and found some burned/corroded speaker wires which I've sorted out.  The antenna switch works fine (goes up and down with the switch).  The blue light does NOT turn on. The radio is a Hitachi KM-152OZC.  I just saw one on eBay for $2,000, so yeah,  I'd like to fix mine.     THANKS

Typo

Should be simple.. 12v to plus (red?) wire. minus 0v to black or the chassis of the radio.. (Should be stated on the chassis that this is negative.. on chassis!)

Then a wire in the antenna connection.. (just a peace of 3 foot or so.) in the inner contact of the connector, this functions as a antenna... (duuuhhh)

THen at last a speaker on the.... speakerwires!

Well.. it should work now..  good luck!
