AND FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE!! Although this fits a wide range of GM vehicles, PLEASE DOUBLE-CHECK YOUR COMPATIBILITY WITH THE LIST I POSTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS DESCRIPTION!! First, let me say that the entire radio is NOT a BRAND-NEW unit, but the FACE-PLATE is indeed a BRAND NEW OEM GM face-plate with the protective stickers still in place; new face-plates for the Pontiac models are very rare! The actual radio/cassette unit was completely disassembled and repaired (cassette player completely rebuilt) and then reassembled using this ultra rare new GM face-plate in grey which was specific to the Pontiac models only (as well as the reddish-orange backlighting). The photos in this listing are of the ACTUAL radio you will get -I do NOT use "stock" photos!
I have also included photos of the actual unit being bench-tested after repairs (2nd and 3rd photos). This radio is in 100% working condition and will look GREAT once it's new owner puts a good detail on it.
The radio was cleaned inside and out, adjusted and lubed. When the stereo receives a FM stereo broadcast, the "Stereo" indicator lights up brightly. The push-buttons also work very well and push in very easily, and for storing and recalling the set stations. The stereo also has the SEEK/SCAN features built in.The SEEK feature allows the radio to pick the next best received station without turning the knob. The SCAN feature will do it automatically, staying on each station for five seconds before moving to the next. The "SCAN" indicator will light up for whenever the stereo is in SCAN mode.
The stereo is also equipped with a digital clock that displays when the key is turned on and when the radio is off, or after five seconds after tuning in a station. I had the clock hooked up for a couple of hours, and it kept perfect time. The cassette tape player also works perfectly and tapes play very clear with no sound distortions or garble. The capstans and head were cleaned, and the speed of the playback was correctly adjusted. The fast forward and reverse switches also works very well, with a quick and quiet motion.
The original belt was REPLACED to give you years of future usage. The tape inserts and ejects nicely. The auto reverse feature also works correctly, with pushing in the top knob automatically plays the other side of the tape; the tape will also switch sides automatically when it is finished playing on one side. The correct tape LED light comes on for whichever direction the cassette tape is playing. The face-plate is new and the four illumination light bulbs are also still working perfectly, and light up the entire face-plate brightly and evenly in the Pontiac-specific reddish-orange color. ALL the mounting brackets can be removed and you can re-use your existing brackets to mount this radio correctly-as long as you have the "square" radio like these that GM made starting in 1984, then this will work with your old brackets; you can also re-use your original knobs if you prefer. ALL digital display numerals also work 100% as shown being bench-tested in the photos; it is not PERFECT like a new one would be, but works flawlessly and is VERY clean cosmetically.
