Re: Hello and a few questions
<html><HTML>
Hiya Steven!
<P>Thanks for the advice. I never thought of looking for the voltage
switch. My brother's '65 Type 1 has the stock radio in it and it
has "the switch." I'll take a look at it in the morning(long late
night!). As for The Type 34 Registry, my membership form and check
was sent Monday night. As soon as the check gets to Lee, I'll get
access to the Members Only pages on their web page. I hear that there
are 6 - 12 volt tips there. Once again, thanks!

For general mechanical questions you're in the right place. For
information specific to your car, you might like to join the VW type 34
Karmann Ghia Registry. The Registry offers quarterly newsletter,
bimonthly member ads, public and members-only Websites, and a mailing
list not unlike this one. Check us out on the Web at type34.org.
Concerning your voltage drops, RMM sells a low-capacity 12-to-6 drop
that wires up quite simply for your clock and costs about 20 bucks.
On the radio, your note sounds fairly sophisticated on this sort of
thing, but just in case: have you checked to make sure it doesn't have
an onboard voltage switch? On mine (AM/FM/SW) there's a plug in
the power section that I can flip 180, marked 6 and 12.
