Is that the feed to the center defrost vent? If so, is it the ONLY feed? I have always assumed from the parts views that this worked by pressurizing the whole center tunnel. Is that correct, or was there a separate pipe in the tunnel that carried this air? BTW, nice Blaupunkt, even if it is just AM. I note that it is too late for this car, however. In those days the Blaupunkts had a separate power amp which hung under the main tuner section. Very early ones had tubes in the power amp, while later ones, up to about 66 had a solid state power amp. Of course this was about 2 RMS Watts of output, or 150 Watts of Peak Dynamic Music Power! ;-) On second thought, it was the early AM/FM/SWs that were in 2 parts, but I suppose it's possible that they fit the whole AM radio into a single unit. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
