hi Tony, that original radio is worth a lot! do not throw it out or have it "rebuilt or repaired" by just anyone, too many got damaged and poorly updated an lost originality. i do like the passenger side mounted antenna, i think it's better looking than the original antenna and in a better location too, that's the style i went with as well
i have plenty of information about rebuilding that radio so feel free to PM me later when you want documentation or have questions.
photo attached of my radio the plastic parts are original so they needed a coat of paint, they fit better than the repo parts i need to find or make a face to dash gasket still, i don't like the gap above the face so i need to mat it out black in there, i think there would have been a felt like gasket in there but i'm not sure yet. -s
