Dub~Tunes

Welcome to my VW Radio page. I repair and sell classic Volkswagen radios. It's now the end of July and I just returned from RAGBRAI. Summers are busy and my radio hobby has to be put on hold so continue to be patient with your emails and requests. The radios below represent VW radios through the years, not what I have for sale.
