Thank you for the correction re: the website. Both you and Philippe Courant correctly identified the radio as a Mopar model 929 (not a 329 as I had stated). It was a "mea culpa" on my part as the model number is clearly stamped on the radio. The serial number is engraved.

I enjoyed Dick's comments related to Sams being around "since the invention of dirt". Since I had never heard of Howard W. Sams I can only conclude that I must be traveling in the wrong circles. I much appreciate the Sams website information and (fingers crossed) hope to get the radio working.

Mel;

 Sorry that I gave you the bum steer, the adress for Nostalia Air is www.nostalgiaair.org not .com. Anyhow if it's a MoPar 929 radio and not a 329 you wouldn't have found what you were looking for regardless.

Mel;

 I would also recomend having a look through the Nostalgia Air archives at www.nostalgiaair.com .

Your radio might be too new to be listed but it doesn't cost anything to search or download a schematic from there. I am guesing that what you are looking for is a Sam's Photofact schematic of a  MoPar model 329 radio. In reality the set was probably manufactured by Motorolla or Bendix but I would stick with the MoPar number in your search. You might also try removing the radio's lid and looking underneith, some had a schematic pasted on the inside of the box.

Best Regards

Sams is the main source of this information, and has been in business since the invention of dirt.  They are also very nice people, with an excellent research department.   Contact them at:

Subject: IML: Mopar model 329 Radio

 

Hello All

 

I want to overhaul the radio I have for my '59 LeBaron. It is a mopar model 329 with foot controls (made by Philips).

Upon checking the repair section I see that schematics are available from Howard W. Sams.

I have never heard of Howard W. Sams and my attempts to find a website were unsuccessful.

So the question is how can I get a schematic and is there anything else I need (other than a good repairman when I am not successful)?

Thanks in advance for any help.
