 Great replacement for Rittenhouse System

By Cape Coral Bill Verified Reviewer from Cape Coral, FL on 02/28/2010

Pros: antenna
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

I replaced a Rittenhouse system and the combination of the base plate and intercom covered the existing hole completely. You can use the existing FM and AM antennas with it. However, the new FM antenna uses shielded cable and provides a better signal to the receiver.



 Excellent fit for M & S radio retro

By jc Verified Reviewer from strongsville, oh on 09/13/2009

Pros: looks great
Best Uses: ipod for kids works super
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Great to have the system up and running
