-> Anyone want a old Desoto car radio?  Think it came out of a 1949.  I
-> it to work on 120 volts AC.  You pay the shipping and it's yours.
Wow, did that bring back memories.  I had a 1953 Studebaker radio
that I did the 120VAC conversion to.  I think I used a 6V filament
transformer.  Removed the vibrator, and ran a couple of wire jumpers
to get the current into the primary of the radio's transformer.
It served me for a number of years, and it was *much* better than
any table radio I had.
Heard a lot of BCB DX on that thing!  This was around 1959 or so...
But no, I don't need the thing.  The memories are good enough!
That, and the Kenwood ham rig I have ;)
