I found a AM/FM radio in some boxes of parts that came with my 67. The tags are missing from it and the only number is on the faceplate which reads 7298474. It has a plug on the right rear bottom looks to have about 9 pins and resembles an old tv tube socket. The numbers on the faceplate are green and there is a partial tag on the right rear side model# is 7 then ser. # 41FP or 41EP it is ripped so the rest of the model and ser numbers is gone. Any clue as to if this is a 67 or 68? The face plate is angled for the dash and has to be either camaro or firebird.
Thanks

If the 1st digit of the model number is a 7 then it is a '68 unit-'67 AM/FM model number is 986824. '68 Camaro is 7303241, FB 7305582. The Camaro unit has a tinted lens, FB is clear. Both '68 units have FM AM on the lens, '67s do not. The faceplate housing should have the dash mounting pads on it. They are frequently cut off for installation in another car.

Hope it works-they can be expensive to repair.

William is right about the description. a picture would help to verify.

The small plug (9pin) in the bottom of the radio is where the multiplex (stereo unit) would plug in. If you dont have a stereo unit there should be a "jumper plug" in the socket. Without it the radio will not work. New ones can be purchased or the socket can be bypassed to be used without one.

Restoring a radio can be costly if the radio is severely damaged, but is fairly reasonable from most restoration shops. My company is currently running an August sale where the restoration of an AM/FM radio like yours would only cost $95.00 (Plus the cost of the jumper plug if wanted- $30.00). Your best bet is to shop around and find a shop you are confortable with, meets your budget and has experience.

I just snapped some pics of my original AM/FM. See pics below. I picked up a 9 pin adapter, and didn't know what it was, now I know. Thanks guys for the info. But, I still want to return the radio into the mulitiplex, I think it was. Four speaker and the wiring is here, but missing the multiplex.

Is there any information that can be revealed looking at the model/serial number tag?

Model # 986824 is for a 1967 Camaro.

It may be the way the picture was taken, but is the chrome faceplate missing?

I took the faceplate off to clean it up some. I may have someone restore my radio for me. It is really filthy inside and I also want someone to check out all the resistors and stuff to make sure it will work for a long time.
