Original Appearance- Modern Performance
MADE IN THE USA!
We use the NEWEST Conversion module version available at the time of order!
Joe's Classic Car Radio Co. Stands Head and shoulders above the competition for Quality workmanship and professional installation of Aurora Products! We are proud to offer the New and Updated Aurora Designs FMR-3! This AM/FM conversion module is amazingly compact and can be performed on any radio. After conversion, your radio will have AM and FM tuner and AUX input along with FOUR CHANNEL OUTPUT. Thanks to the use of sophisticated algorithms and a custom Real Time Operating System (RTOS), All functions are controlled from your stock radios controls using a "Virtual Fader and Balance". The New FMR-3 retains all the same great features as the original FMR-1, but now includes:
*More robust, higher performance power amplifier - Can now drive two 2 ohm speakers(4x45W into 4 ohms / 2x75W into 2 ohms @ 14.4V)
*Differential Auxiliary Input - Floating ground virtually eliminates ground loop noise
*New Tube Emulation Mode for perfect, concours quality operation
(functions and features subject to change without notice)
This truly is The Best Way to begin adding a full stereo system to your classic. The sound is amazing!
How is the Conversion performed
We completely disassemble your stock radio, clean all cosmetics and paint the outer case in a durable hammer finish. We then clean/repair the original Volume control and tuning mechanisms, including pushbuttons and tuning coils same as we would for a stock restoration. These are typically the only internal components that will be retained from the original radio. We then add the FMR-2 conversion module and wire it into the radio. After a basic integration procedure, your radio is ready to perform like a Modern day AM/FM, 4 speaker Radio with AUX input. Absolutely amazing sound and function with 100% original appearance!
Warranty
All converted radios carry a 1 year warranty against manufacturing or workmanship defects.
