 "Archer Brand" which is Radio Shack,
 made one for years and years and years and years.
 Of course it's discontinued now.
 
 But it was made for exactly this purpose, to run
 12v radios off 6v (european cars, motorcycles, etc)
 And also to run 6v stuff off 12v sources.
 
 You can probably still get this thing at a lot 
 of radio shack stores, but it's been out of the
 catalog for a few years.

I've got one of these! I had it in a 66 bug and I used it to run a SONY 12
volt deck with the stock 6V system. It worked pretty good, but I sold the
bug....and kept the converter.
