Trying to fix an old Pioneer car radio... ( NOT SPAM )
Posted: Mon Dec 06, 2021 4:12 pm
I have an older knob style Pioneer car radio, Model KRC-1003
Earlier the tuner went out on the unit, I got lucky and found another similar radio with the same tuner module.
It works again....BUT, if you press the scan/seek button, the radio does not lock onto any stations, but if i manually tune, it picks up most any station just fine.. So i know something needs to be adjusted, but i don't know what...
Is there anyone that might have any info on this ? I'm sure it's something with maybe the PLL ? Just guessing.
Or does anyone know of a shop that would work on this ?
I'd like to put this radio in my 81 Ford.. ( formerly was in my 77 Plymouth fury wagon )
The newer car radios, I just don't like how they are.. tiny buttons and menus etc.. I can't read that stuff any more..
I love my simple radio..even if the cassette doesn't work...lol
( plus it was the 1st radio i bought on credit as a teen , The place gave me my 1st line of credit $100.00 )
