C3 - 1971 - AM/FM or AM/FM Stereo?

[Greg F.]

I looked in the archives and found a few threads on this topic but I couldn't find the exact answer.

I have a 71 small block. I fairly certain it is the original radio. It works. Is there a way to tell if I have the U69 or U79 option by looking at the radio? It does have the word "Stereo on the upper right (right after FM). Would the U69 just have FM?

Thank you.

Greg,

U79 stereo radio uses a right side balance control knob just like on the left side. U69 does not.

U79 radios also have the rectangular square stereo blue light that U69 radios do not have.
