WOW! That one on evilbay went for $310.

I have thrown a few of those in the bin over the years :-(

Any one got any ideas what a good HZ factory AM/FM one would be worth?

hz am/fm is worth at least 1k as it is the rarest of all...:crikey:

Is there such a thing as a AM/FM or only AM ones?

Sorry bout the crap photos.
Looking at it now it may be HX as it has not got a yellow needle? I am positive it came from a HZ Caprice. (that was about 10 years ago) I didn't muck about when it came to taking as much of the original wiring as I could.

2jjj was the first fm station to go to air in oz and that was on the 1st august 1980...that radio is from an hz not an hx and like i said they are rockin horse shit as you could only get them late 79/80 in the hz series etc..

My van is a 10/78. That would mean if I put this in it would not be technically correct as they did not exisit as an option at that time.

I may as well put a modern stereo in there!

I am thinking If I can get good money for it I may as well sell it and put that money towards other things.

The j's here is 101.5

I think it's 104.7 the crappy commercial station I call JJP.

(Jimmy, johnny and Phil) Cause that pretty much all you hear between the Harvey Norman adds

ie. Jimmy Barnes, johnny Farnham and Phil Collins

Crazy money??????? I bought one from Forbes wreckers in good working order for $40 and after a good clean looks like new.
Should have bought all he had while I was there and made a killing on Ebay...:Chin:
