Title says it all. I like original things, and therefore would love to get my hands on an original am/mf cassette from a GMC Motorhome. If anyone wants to get rid of it for shipping, let me know.

Best regards

AM/FM 8-Track! With CB, if you really want something special. These show up on Ebay quite often.

I pulled one from my 74, also have the original TV, black and white and have manuals. TV is pretty heavy, has batteries in it for boondocking...but don't think they work any longer...Glenn

I'm not sure, but I think the 74 and the 76 radios are wired differently. I think the 74 uses the body as the speaker ground and the 76 runs 2 wires to each speaker, so I don't know if it would be a plug in replacement. I'm sure it could could be made to work.
