Re: Solution for audio system in model A?
I guess I am the odd one out here. I like to drive my model A to better appreciate the period it was built. It seems to me odd that modern appliances such as music systems would be installed. Then again I think twice about any mechanical changes or updates which was not original to the vehicle. I will concede to adding a period fuse box to improve electrical safety or an oil filter to extend the period between oil changes.
The era of the Model A just misses the introduction of 6.3 volt filament vacuum tubes in 1932 which made automotive radios practical. The cost of a new car radio in those days was about the value of the second hand Model A by 1935.
Anyway I agree with those who like to listen to the engine RPM or any unusual knock that may appear in a journey.
