Not to ****** any crumbs from home rebuilders, but M&R did a fantastic job restoring my UX1, taking it from a message board junker to like-new condition.

Courteous, fast (less than a week) and right as rain on arrival.

Was in the upper end of what I wanted to spend, but they basically jacked up the capstans and drove a new chassis under it. Even found a NOS faceplate (!) for me - their last one.

Highly recommended for guys staying factory with their sound.

Same here. I just had them rebuild by 91 factory CD player and add and AUX jack. They did a great job and super fast.

 

could you post a ballpark figure or pm me what the repair cost?

 

Good info, I passed it along

 

They restored a radio for my 82 TA. Looks and works like new.

 

They also have factory speakers for BOSE systems. They are 20 minutes south of me. Great people to deal with.

 

I sent my GTA's radio (Delco #16062322) to them last week. Got it back eight days later in perfect working condition! Great job. It had a problem with FM reception where only the strongest stations would come in for the first 15 minutes or so after being powered on. This time was getting longer, and sometimes the reception never would clear. They re-soldered the boards and replaced some capacitors. Working great. Also had them add an AUX jack. Unfortunately, they told me that on this model, there really wasn't room on the front for the jack, so they put a pigtail off the back. I currently have it just sticking out from the back of the radio into the passenger floor well, but I should be able to route it through the center console into the console storage compartment.

Didn't want to upgrade to a new head unit with CD since I wanted my steering wheel controls to work. With the AUX jack, now I don't need a CD.

 

What's the latest cost for this?
Pm if you want.

 

It was $150 to re-solder the radio itself and replace some capacitors.

The AUX jack was $75.

I have no idea if this is a good price or not. I contacted a number of other electronics shops that perform service work, and none of them work on radios like this. So considering that there doesn't seem to be a lot of people who'll do the work and M&R seems to have done a good job, I'm happy with it.

 

I think that's very reasonable. I believe I was quoted twice that a few years ago .
Thanks

 

My aux. jack is a cord out the back also. I hid it in the astray. I figured I would need the phone out anyway to skip tunes I didn't like, pause it, etc., since I cannot control those things through the radio.

Sort of a weird thing I've noticed since I got my radio back.

My turn signals used to blink very slowly. When I drove the car while the radio was being repaired (with no radio connected), they blinked much faster, at the rate that you'd normally expect. Once they repaired the radio and I reinstalled it, the turn signal speed was still normal. They had been very slow since I bought the car in early 2018.

Also, last weekend I also noticed that my power windows now open and close more quickly.

Could the old radio, which needed components to be re-soldered, have been interfering with window motors and turn signals?

 

Thats the exact issue I have with mine but was under the impression they no longer messed with the GTA decks. Knowing this I plan to call them next week and send them my radio if they're still open of course.

I sent them my GTA deck, replaced the FM board and sent it back, really quick, and great to deal with.

 

That's good. They definitely seem to know what they're doing and they were very easy to work with.

 

I didn't know this but he's been fixing these Delco radios since new. I told him there was an old sticker on the radio for a repair place and he told me at one point there were over a 100 different places, now it's something like 6.
