Rovernetters:
My early 2000TC came with a dealer-installed "Le Chaperon" AM/FM radio
fitted, branded "Davis Radio Corp". Davis seems to have been a company
that imported Japanese radios from OEMs and put their brand on it. The
car also came with a paper from the dealer extolling the virtues of this
option, and it appears to be a quasi-official Rover choice for a radio.
The case also says:
Kobe Kyogo Corp
Made in Japan
13 Transistors
On the underside of the cover there is a circuit diagram (thankfully),
which lists model FA-205 and FA-205-EX. eBay currently has a service
manual for what appears to be the same radio with a different brand.
My questions are:
1.) Has anyone else seen one of these radios?
2.) Does anyone have any additional information on these radios?
3.) Does anyone have another?
I'm planning on sending mine out for repair and to have an Aux input
added so I can play my phone through the car's radio. It's a nice enough
radio, and the right case size to perhaps fit in my Riley's dashboard,
so if anyone has one laying about, please let me know!
Many thanks,
Tom
