With the new regulator and alternator churning out constant and adequate voltage, it was finally time to give the old Riv a voice. The original AM Sonomatic radio turned on and the light came on, but was otherwise silent. This car only has a dash speaker.
One day, I pulled the Sonomatic out to see what the deal was. I opened it up to look around, but didn’t see anything that would be a problem.
It turned out to be a missing lead to the dash speaker. The old wiring had given out and detached. Time to make a decision on what to do.
