Retrosound Model 1 re-installed
after checking all the connections, the Retrosound Model 1 is now back in the E-Type and I also replaced the cigarette lighter while I was at it. The cigarette lighter had rusted internally and was no longer working – and on longer drives the battery in the GPS was not cutting it. Replacing the cigarette lighter was fairly easy, although the replacement had a shorter collar which I needed to extend with a piece of pipe from the hardware store.
It is good to have a working radio in the car. While on the test drive, the glass cover of the speedo fell off, which looks like it just clips on. I have re-attached it, but it does not seem as secure as the tacho. Will have to wait and see if the fix is good.
