I am not an electrical engineer, but it sound like your basic radio has a problem. These days it is not cost effective to fix it, but instead just replace it with a new unit. Besides, the newer units are MP3 compatible and probably 1/4 the price of a replacement Saab unit. I think the MP3 format can hold 8 hours of music on one disc. kevdel wrote: > Wondering if anyone has any ideas/advice/similar experience with this: > > I just celebrated my 1 year anniversary as the proud owner of a pre-owned > 1995 SE Convertible.
