Hey all. My ke38 has its original in dash AM radio and a tape player molded into the centre console, from which i'm told isn't in all of them. Seeing as i'm not really going for the original feel of my ke38 I was wondering wether the original tape player and AM radio are worth anything from a sale point? Like are they hard to come by? Or just pull it out and throw them in the bin?

why don't you keep the original shit in there and put your cd player in the glovebox? or mount it underneath?

To answer your question - Bin it, aint worth shite. :jamie:

I was searching for an early KE10 original deck for ages.... now one has popped up in the parts for sale, just after I gave up and brought a new deck that will suit the car.

 

I don't think any original parts like this should be turfed. Eventually someone is going to want one and I'm sure it won't take up too much room to store.

 

But I am a bit of a pack-rat :jamie:

Yeah maybe a ke10 or 20 item, but not a 30 or 55. They're just too common. At the end of the day its a tape deck (who used taped these days anyway!) with 3x speaker outputs and an AM radio! :jamie: ...not!

 

The Clarion 8-track player in my mazda, now thats a different story. Not that you can still get any 8-tracks these days to play in it. :bash:

oh also wtf is up with the 3 wire speakers? they in parelle or something? i had to run another wire to use the 5.1

Common ground maybe?

I reckon that you should keep it on the off chance someone will want it. But I have a horribly habit of storing parts like that...

 

My ke30 had its original am radio and speaker in the dashboard when I bought it, I drove around listening to abc (over a very loud exhaust) for months... then I finally (butchered it a little) fitted an fm unit and speakers, and drove around listening to triple j...
