Aren't these devices great. Got a modified stock radio in my '51 Merc. AM/FM/STEREO/MP3 player. Got the MP3 player hidden in the modified ash tray.

Yes, I downloaded old radio programs off the internet. Do some searching. You will be amazed what is out there.

Great write up Ryan. Looks great and I bet it sounds better

Just wondering could this system work with the original six volt system.
