Walter- As I posted before, the only problem connection is the one that attaches to the antenna. The front fender cables are readily available,and have the end which attaches to the rear antenna. I went on Amazon and bought the long antenna cable -'might have been 8 feet- for under. $10 with free shipping. It plugs into the radio and the other end plugs into the original short wire.
You can have one fabricated or buy an NOS unit, but it will be more expensive.
Unless you plan to have the radio revamped to receive FMV or interface with the MP3 player, it is pretty much a waste of money. My radio was rebuilt and works, but there is not much AM programming worth worrying about.
I picked up a Bose unit that picks up Bluetooth from my iPhone or iPad that sounds terrific for cruising. The battery lasts for at leat 4 hours which is more time than I plan to be on the road at one time. People who buy new
Teslas have less time.
