HQ HOLDEN RADIOS, SPEAKERS & SPRING-RING CABLES

Price Varies, from $490.

These Philips shaft radios are from late 70’s/early 80’s Holdens; they have mounting brackets to allow them to fit the ‘unique’ dash of the HQ — the original HQ factory radios were ‘Thumbwheel’ Astor AirChief radios (photo below), but there are Philips AirChief ‘shaft’ radios as well (see photo below), which have an original mounting bracket for the the HQ, so there may have been a change over period with the radios as the older model Astor AirChief was retired, (maybe the Philips was available through the Holden Dealer??). When the older AirChief eventually was replaced, the Philips was available, as well as the AWA..both radios looked the same, both had GM on the dial, but I’ve only seen 1 Philips which had GM as well as AirChief on the dial.

My range of new CustomAutoSound replacement radios will not fit the HQ because of the narrow dash opening. But I have adapted these Philips & AWA radios to fit very nicely; see photos below, and have a few in stock. Or if you have an original ThumbWheel radio I can convert it to do AM/FM etc as explained just below, or see Radio Conversions & Repairs on the front page. Another rare HQ radio is the AirChief Radio Cassette, photo below.

These Philips/AWA radios are available as;

Standard Overhauled AM radio with standard single speaker output, brackets, knobs & fasteners, $490.
Converted & Overhauled radio as above with AM, FM, AUX Input & standard single speaker output, $890. Bluetooth or USB extra $270 cost options, or add both for $490 extra cost
Converted & Overhauled radio as above with AM, FM, AUX Input & HI Power 4 channel (45 Watts per channel) $1140. Bluetooth or USB extra $270 cost options, or add both for $490 extra cost.

The details of these Conversions can be found by clicking on ‘RADIO REPAIRS & CONVERSIONS’ on my HOME PAGE.

If you have one of these Philips radios you would like overhauled, converted or fitted with mounting brackets for your HQ; prices start at $299, depending on what options you require. Your radio is evaluated first and a price quoted.
