Stereo original volvo

JCL · Sep 24th, 2014, 05:33

My radio cassette has died in my 740 turbo. I have the seperately graphic equeliser that sits below the stereo so ideally I want the standard size original head unit.

Thanks. Jon

I am referring to the CR-702 radio cassette above. Thanks.

What appears to be not working; the tape deck or the radio (there's also a separate amplifier under the dash above the drivers right knee)? I might have a few bits from several CR-702's in the garage somewhere, but I don't think a complete working one. I will have a look over the weekend.

Thanks Bob. Quite simply the small PCB on the left as you remove the upper casing has failed and I snapped it playing about! Therefore, I could try and connect a replacement board I suppose but fiddly.

See what you have lying around, much appreciated. I don't want to merely buy a Halfords £50 head unit but retain the authenticity of the original.

Yes .. I reckon I have some with that board, but haven't had a chance to look yet. That board with its pre-amp section is where my problem arose, and I didn't have time to fiddle further! Who knows whether any of my sub-boards work or not .... because ....

.... then .... I walked into Aldi and they had an 'all singing and dancing' headset reduced to £39 with cd/sd/usb/bluetooth/isocket etc etc, that I couldn't resist!

T'was the best 'easy listening' buy I made, and just slotted into my 745 (with a fascia change plate, plus an easy fit 'Autoleads' connector to link to the loom and by-pass the original amplifier).

However, fully understand what you mean about originality (I will always keep one). Will try and get back to you by PM asap.

You could send it off to Central Services in Ipswich , they were the people who repaired volvo exchange radios from the 70's until the 90's . and still going strong ...

I have had a chance to have a look today and regret that I have only got 'bits and pieces' and I guess that they don't work as clearly I have been fiddling with them in the past. I reckon Clan's suggestion is the best option. Cheers, Bob.
