Re: 6V to 12V?


Most change 6 volt to 12 as a result of (a) problems with corroded
terminals etc, or (b) wanting to use modern accessories like stereo
systems.  If it's working well and you've no desire to much more
than a radio, there's not much point in disturbing the system.  I
recall back in '64 the lights of my father's new Squareback seemed
great, but maybe it was just in comparison with a '59 Beetle!

However, you will find 6volt CD players are a challenge to locate,
even more difficult than a voltage convertor to handle the power
needed for much more than a radio.
