Ciao a tutti gli amici del forum e ben ritrovati, sono un nuovo iscritto e mi congratulo con voi per il vostro forum e vi ringrazio in anticipo.
Come da titolo ho tra le mani una radio Delco GM da restaurare in quanto ha diversi problemi, ho già restaurato 2 di queste radio in passato, ma su questa il problema è che non c'è etichetta per risalire al modello e quindi ad un eventuale schema di riparazione allego foto siete molto più esperti e magari mi potete aiutare, grazie a tutti

Ecco la versione tradotta di Google dall'italiano all'inglese...

Here is the google Italian to English translated version....

Hello to all friends of the forum and welcome back, I am a new member and I congratulate you on your forum and thank you in advance.
As the title suggests I have in my hands a Delco GM radio to be restored as it has several problems, I have already restored 2 of these radios in the past, but on this one the problem is that there is no label to go back to the model and therefore to a possible repair scheme I attach photos you are much more experienced and maybe you can help me, thanks to all

That's got to be out of a GMT-400. Probably an early 90's one by the looks of it.

Ragazzi vi chiedo anche a cosa serve quel connettore con due fili marrone arancio?
In altre autoradio non c'è mai stato
Could the connector in question have something to do with the display not turning on? it doesn't even show the clock but the car radio is on

The extra, 2 wire connector is constant 12V for memory, IIRC. There was no constant power in the main connector of that vintage.

The radios just going dead is a common failure. IiRC, no power on the extra connector just makes the radio lose the time for the clock and the radio presets. It will still operate normally with the ignition turned to 'run'.
