Hi

My friend bought a 54 pontiac and he wants some tunes with a modern radio. is the a converter to run the 12 volt radio. a up-verter I guess. 

thanks

Al

Lots on e-bay  for various componts     search Radio 12 volt to 6 volt converter

OK that sounds good but I am in Innisfil Ont and was hoping to find a store locally that might sell something. :)

Here's some info about 6 volt to 12 volt inverting that might help you

and the Archer inverter (really popular back when) used to be for sale years ago at Radio Shack but haven't been since the 70's.

Another style.

I'm afraid you'll have to hope for someone selling one locally or check with a local electronics parts store.... or.....bite the bullet and get one on-line and wait til it arrives.

 Actually he moved to Barrie now, Hes on Bradford St.......but thanks.

I put a small motor cycle battery in the trunk and the radio played all summer and then I recharged it for the next year.

So how about rebuilding the generator.  There is a shop in Barrie.  But does anyone here build them. Or does anyone have a good used one for sale
