RE: [T3] Are FM 6v radios available?

["Allyn de Vars" <adevars@greenmountainaccess.net>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Here's an easy way to remember whether a Sapphire is AM or AM/FM...if the
number is odd, it's AM (1-band)  if the number is even it's AM/FM (2-band).
Like you Travis, I'm a child of the 70's (born in 74) and love the old
stuff.  I have a tube Blaupunkt which I used to have in my 60 Beetle and
will be putting into the T-34 when I get that far in the restoration.  Be
ready to spend some coin for the correct radio, but I think it's worth it.

What year is your T-3?  If you're looking for a 66 radio, the most
appropriate would be a Sapphire IV with the chrome pushbuttons.  There are a
few different varieties of the Sapphire II AM/FM and they too will fit in
the underdash bracket.

Are all Sapphire II Radios 6v?  There is a seller on Ebay listing a Sapphire
II from a '66 bug but claims it is a 12v?!
