    I have the center console out in my 1969 365 GTC and would like to sort out the maze of radio wires connecting the control head to the remote amplifier box to the speakers and power. There are a few splices and unconnected wires and what I believe is a power antenna relay in the trunk, although the car has a manual antenna.

    The radio is a Voxson Stereo 8, AM/FM, 8 track unit with a black ink stamp on the remote amplifier box marked "GN 101, Ferrari". The radio works (haven't tried the 8-track and probably won't to avoid a tape jam) and believe it is all original. I'm not interested in upgrading the radio guts as I what to keep it original, but just sorting out the wiring.

    I'd appreciate any help in finding a schematic or installation wiring diagram.
    Thanks.
    David

    I have a working Voxson 8-track in my Boxer which was installed by the Ferrari factory back in the day. I have no documentation with it though and the car is in another country so can't take pics for you, certainly not for the next couple of months.

    But it made me think - it would probably help other people answer your question if you could take detailed photographs of your Voxson, because I have no idea if your one is the same. Likely it is not, as mine is from 1974. So I would post some pics of front and rear and perhaps there's someone out there able to help.

    Good luck!

    I had someone do a PPI once, and it came back that the VOXSON 8track did not work.

    Later, when taking off the door panels, it did not have any speakers, or for that matter, wires going through the door. That, could be a reason....

    I would like to see a diagram also.

    Regards, Alberto

    I found a company that may have the diagrams but they need a model number. I looked all over the both the head and amplifier units and can't find any numbers. Anyone know the model number for the Voxson Stereo 8?
    Regards,

    Hi David,
    If you haven't found a wiring diagram for your Voxon Stereo 8 please PM me. I have a copy of the technical manual for the Voxon GN103 and GN104 as fitted to my 69 Daytona. It is 32 pages and very comprehensive.
    Mike.

    I am certain I have the wiring diagrams as I have packages of original docs. Send me a PM if you still need help and I can scan one for you.

    Hi, searching a Voxson electric antenna on the web I found you...I have many schematics and technical bulletins of all 8-track Voxson GN series and I am always looking for additional material.
    I am a private and may help for pure pleasure.
    I normally repair these units being able to solve all but electronics problems!
    I would like to know what you have available for Voxson Sonar GN 1008...I only have the schematic, no manuals at all!
    Cheers for now

    Hi David, did you solve your problem?
    Otherwise I may help you, I have many Voxson sets (the model in the attachment should be yours, it's the Sonar GN104 SR, 1967)) at home, know them all very well and have schematics too.
    They will not solve the problem...as there is no color coding on each wire but...knowing what colors are R & L channel ,power etc. I may help you.
    If I'll get a photo or 2 or the bunch of wires I will understand and help you better.
    Cheers for now.

    Hi David many thanks for your kindness.
    Generally I look for all concerning these units ....ads, technical bulletins, etc. and so up to now I have not yet found these things:
    - more that the schematic for GN1008, the last model (1976) made by Voxson...maybe
    people involved with repairs had already grown enough about Voxson technologies and
    repair nightmares....!
    - the first technical bulletin 680, concerning GN 108 (1973)...just to see the differences
    about detouching/disassembling the pre-amplifier to replace a faulty on-off push switch
    - the service tape cartridges made by RCA and others to test and tune the crosstalk,
    balancing the channels etc....even a copy tape would do...I have a few empty cartidges!

    Always at your disposal...and all my sincere wishes for next Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

    Just found this old thread regarding Technical manuals and Schematics for the Voxon GN104. I recently acquired a GN104 in non working condition and could really use a copy of the elusive schematic if it's still available. Many thanks Glen
