1988 240 GL- Try to find replacement part for stock cassette deck wiring harness; male plug ripped out 200

Hi, a previous owner ripped out the stock wiring harness for my stock cassette deck. I have the radio but not what plugs into it. They got an after market male part that goes into a newer CD player wired in instead. Hoping to find a new or used replacement or at least the name of that part. Thanks!

    Hi there claiming to be! No profile is pretty close to being a nobody on the Brickboard here!
    We like to know at least what coast or country you are from.

    It helps with foreign cars to tighten it up a bit when taking on model differences, let alone radios of yesteryear.

    You might want to use a term called "patch cord" in your search on the web. Add in the Model number of the unit.

    I recently purchased a '92 sedan from the Wagonmiester in Southern California. It has a TD-613 Volvo cassette that came out of his own '91. He said it was his last one he had.
    I guess they might be a big deal to some collectors. I have not had the car long enough to know if I like it or not.
    I also have a '91 for the past ten years now. The PO had already ditched it for a CD player.

    In the near future I will be adding in a small round voltmeter and a like wise sized tachometer to the right of the instrument cluster on this '92 even though it an automatic transmission.
    This is my first automatic by the way!

    I have all my stick shift cars setup this way to avoid any lugging out of the hole situations.
    This automatic is as smooth and the engine is as powerful as David Samuels ( aka, The Wagonmiester) said it was!

    The overdrive and its shift down point kicked butt on a couple steep grades on the way back home! Don't know what gear it grabbed down too! It will probably scare me to see a tachometer tell me what it spins up too!
    Hard for me to tell if it jumped from an overdrive to third or second?
    I thought I was going too fast for it to get a second gear at 50+. Around town, It shows me I shift way slower and more noticeable than it does!
    David said he thought it might have been rebuilt because he observed it was very clean on the outside in places that don't get cleaned. Made sense to me!

    I really felt good about buying the car from him! Especially after seeing some others in Glendale, Ca.! One died twice before it got off the lot for me to drive it. Just idling and turned off.
    Its front suspension was into some troubles too! A Clunk and thumps car! Not mine! Same price but "supposedly" half the mileage with mismatches of tires!
    David's were old but all the carcasses were the same. He came down a bit on his own. I still drove them a thousand miles and they will be changed in couple days.
    I ordered Michelin 195-70-14's 90,000 warranty Defenders from Costco. So they still sell the size!
    A Low demand is the reason for not stocking them in the store but their glad to get them up in Orergon. Bridgestone doesn't carry them for them . Only Michelin does! Luckily I got the tire of the month brand on four! Shame, shame, Bridgestone!

    Back to the radio....even though our "tires" might get like the "cassettes" for their "players like us!"
    There has been a few worrisome post on tires!


    If I can see on mine what you are talking about, I will look at how he has got it wired in.
    It might have a part number label around the wires, if it's a complete harness from his car?

    I know it does have a seperate amplifier at the bottom of the console. I saw it there while replacing a few bulbs that were burned out. I expected as much on these cars, and I have a bunch saved up!

    The radio all works and he said on his sight that he replaced a speaker or something too.
    It all sounds good to me except he said the volume control has a scratchy noise when turned. I heard that noise but figure I will try using some old TV tuner cleaner on it, if I decide or my wife decides, to keep it in there. You might know how that goes!

    Have you powered yours on at all to know it works?
    Let us know here on the board if you have the same unit. This board has lots of resource and knowledge.

    Another thing you might try is to contact the Wagonmiester's web site and ask him! He might have one lying about or knows a guy, who knows a guy?
    Like Capatin Kurk knows a Scotty! (:-)

    Later Phil!
