Being not entirely correct tempts me to sell it, use that money else where and install a CD/MP3 player in the glove box.

I'm still not sure if I will or won't as yet.

Sandmans didn't come with a radio, they were an optional extra. Who's to say the owner didn't decide a year or two later that he wanted a radio in his Sandman and went down to the local Holden dealership to have one fitted...... Would you like and AM/FM sir.....

If you don't need the money I'd fit it in your car...... won't be too many owners with a FM GMH radio so you have something a little different from the norm....

Hi guys,
A mate gave this to me today, he thinks its out of his dads old Gemmy, would it be the correct radio for my HX? It looks like the ones i have seen on ebay. He is still looking for the knobs off it.

Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark can you give me the model number please and I can look up some info for you for HX.

The radio should be correct. As for the knobs, they could be different symbols. The yellow needle torana ones had different symbols so just making an uneducated assumption which as we all know = the mother of all f%^k ups.

Did any of the WB's have FM radio? Would a Gemini have one the same if so? I currently have a working AM radio and none of the knobs or push buttons have any writing or symbols. Are they meant too?

AFAIK all wb managed to get from the factory was the same am radio as HZ.

Thanks guys,
Is the 'type LP40A' the number your after blocker? there are a few different numbers on it.
I remember seeing the knobs for these in the floors of cars at wreckers all the time a few years ago, should have grabbed a few back then:errf: So are there alot of different types? No rush finding them, im happy with my cd player
