Replacing Concertone Stereo,
Hello Everyone... Again I am looking for the voices of experience. My Concertone stereo has shorted out in my 2006 Silverback Fiver...was fine when parked last Fall but dead now...It zaps all fuse...

Since you are looking to sell it, you probably don't want to go all 'custom' on it. I had the same unit in my rig and replaced it with a standard car stereo. I made a custom box for it to fit the big hole.
I had to splice in the wires, but the old unit had a wire diagram on it, so it was pretty simple. I did have to wire the memory save and the on/off power wires to the same 12v source so it would not lose all the settings when powered off.. (remember, in a car you would wire the main power to the keyed switch and the memory saver to a constant hot source)
Anyway, you might try locating an Rv Recycler in your area and see if you can pick up a cheap replacement just for ease of install and sale..
Good luck!
