Default Re: Has Anyone Put A Radio In There 6 Volt Car

I looked on Ebay and didn't see the 6VDC to 12VDC converter. Does anyone have a link to one?

Do a search for "inverter" and something should come up.
I'll also try to find a link to one.

I had a radio guy put a 1934 Motorola NOS in my Model A pickup in about 1971. It runs with control cables and is hanging upside down between the gas tank and the top of the steering column. It works good for AM. I don't know what I will do, when a tube goes. I may switch over to a 6 volt Volkswagen. I bought a real expensive gizmo that goes between the antenna wire to plug in my IPod, but the impedance or something like that causes interference. It cost $150.00 what a waste of $. If you do get a radio; you will need a spark suppressor on the coil wire. I saw some on Ebay for a lot of money. I hope this helps.
