Typical pricing for a rebuild on a radio varies from $175 to $255, depending on model.  If there are major issues, that price could increase but normally I can repair those abnormalities (95% of the time).  Can do the invisible AM/FM conversion if interested.

Anouther thing to consider is at a lot of swap meets these radio's go for $15-25 and could be a good source of parts incase one needs something. I have 3 for my '59 i'm going to drop off at my rebuilder, one the memory buttons dont work, and one has discolored buttons. I figure between 3 there should be plenty of parts incase he hits a snag

I had Classic Car  Radio do my 56 last year. It was expensive &
I don't know if it works yet, but I like all the features provided:
4 Channel Stereo
AM/FM
IPOD input
Power antenna output
Completely stock appearing

I sent my 56 to a guy in Oceano Ca. Listed in Hemmings. He gutted it and installed an AM/FM in it using the stock front so it appears stock. I too listen to talk radio and some music. When you turn it on its on FM, turn off and back on quickly and it's AM. The stations don't quite line up with the #'s on the face but that's ok as I have them on the push buttons. Front speaker only. Works OK but picksup engine noise occasionally. Costs 200 6 yrs ago. Best thing is it looks stock.
