alps66

I'm looking to replace the aftermarket radio in my '66 with a correct AM/FM. I've checked the archives here and on NCRS and the more I look into this radio stuff, the more confused I get. I need some clarification on some conflicting info regarding the color indicators behind the AM/FM bar.
MF Dobbins notes that green and red indicators were present from '63-'65 (but nothing is specified about '66 or '67s).
Noland Adams' indicates that the red and green were phased out after the early '65s (consistently somewhere after VIN 106768). He notes that later '65s, '66s and '67s had black backgrounds.
The '66 NCRS judging guide says that green and red are okay, but so is black.
This leads me to believe that black might be correct for a '66 (and in the grand scheme of the world, who in their right mind would even care??
)
Nonetheless, I would be most grateful if anyone with an original '66 radio could check and let me know.
Thanks!
