Subject:Old radio?

Hi folks,

        Anyone got an old Vanagon sized radio to spare?  Or a recommendation for one that fits nicely?

        I’m looking for a very simple one.  I’ve decided I don’t want back up camera or fancy things.  
        I just need as simple as possible.  One with a 3.5 aux input is perfect.  My 84 has an old tape deck with a 3.5 aux and I like the simple controls.

I’m happy with purchasing a new one, but would like something simple.  The van does have a sub woofer, so that would be nice to keep.

        I’ve heard new radios are less deep making them easier to fit.  

Any tips on a new one, or if you have a simple old one on the shelf to let go, let me know. 

I gave away a nice one 10 years ago but I don’t regret it as the person got years of use out of it.  

The drag is I hate wiring in radios!  Luckily the wires are mostly labelled and all were just checked and are working correctly.
