Vintage Stereo stuff

One thing I haven't been able to find yet is my FM converter that slid into the tape deck. It had a plug for the car antennae to attach and although it seems unlikely, I think it picked up power somehow from the tape deck. (Maybe there was a battery in it. ) Too many years have passed and I've raised too many mugs to all the folks here!

You must mean this unit:

It slides right in and pulls power from the tape deck itself through two metal tabs in the face plate. The wire on the side is actually an antennae that you drape over your visor or some lay on the dash. This one actually works reasonably well. I used it in my Chargers AM 8-track multiplex stereo. (which sounded like crap on it's own, but at least this gave it the capability for the FM to sound equally crappy, too.)

That's exactly the unit I had/have. Didn't recall it being an Audiovox but it may have been marketed under a different name.

I had an adapter that fit over the end of my antenna coax to connect the car antenna to the converter. I found the cable but haven't run across the converter yet.

Thanks Steve!
