If you can find an old radio, there are companies that will convert it to
modern specs, leaving the old radio faceplate untouched.
Below are a few names and numbers I've saved. I've not used any of them, so
NFI, and no endorsements, and for that matter I've no idea if they are all
still in business as this is from a Triumph list email I save in 2003.
If you do use or contact any of them, please share your experience as this is
something I'd like to try.

Subject: Radio for MGB
I have a 71 B, and I'd like to install a plain radio (no CD, no tape, no
graphic equalizer, no display screens, etc...) that is as much like the Brit
Leyland mono AM-FM as possible, only I want stereo with 4 speaker capability.
I have Fiero seats with speakers in the headrests and I'd like to use the
'fade' to control sound to the left and right seats. I don't like the
complexity of current audio sets, I don't have any use for all the options,
and I like the simple appearance and function of an older radio. Does anyone
have any ideas where I can search for this?
