<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! <P>Johnny <BR>'62 Bug <BR>'65 Type 3 Karmann Ghia <BR>'68 Sunroof Bug <P>johnnyvw@earthlink.net <BR><A HREF="http://home.earthlink.net/~johnnyvw/Steven";>http://home.earthlink.net/~johnnyvw/Steven</A> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> Johnny=> I just bought a '65 Type 3 Ghia and am going to => need some help. 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. Steven Ayres, Prescott AZ '66 KGhia 1600</PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML> </html>
