Thanks for the answers, I just want a cheap radio, I don't want to give the
low lifes out there an excuse to break into my Westy. Liz I have a a degree
in Electronics and a Bently between the two I might be able to fiqure it
out, If I can't maybe I could have the name of the place that did! :-))))

> Good luck.  I am trying to view a diesel Westfalia for sale here in CA
this week, but my work schedule might rule it out.  They want $3,800, new
engine w/14,000 miles on it, new transmission, and that's all I know til I
look at it.  One plus is the owner is a truck driver with experience with
diesels.  The PO of my 7-pass diesel didn't have a clue about diesels (I'm
surprised she found her way to California in one piece - not to be mean at
all, it's just a fact - a plain-jane Honda would have been a better choice
for her).  As for the radio, I bought a Sony CD player (at Sears, I think
Wal-Mart has them too) that fits ok in the dash.  Sometimes people on the
list have the stock Heidleberg radio for sale; those are cool (came stock on
my gasoline Wolfsburg).
