Re: [T3] 12 volt from a 6 volt t-3

<x-charset iso-8859-1>>I work for a VW shop in Christchurch New Zealand and a couple of our owners
have a little "black box" device that is fitted to their 6v cars (both KG's
by chance) that allows them to run a 12v CD/cassette unit.

Radio Shack in the USA used to sell these, I have one I bought at a swap
meet for $5.  Coincidentally, it's marked "59 Ghia" on it in junkyard pen
(neon yellow).

Someone on the Bus list talked about making a solid state one a while back,
I don't think anything came of it.

They are not too useful for the most modern radios that need a constant
hot connection to remember your presets as it would have to running all
the time, which drains the battery.  Plus no amps = no dope bass.
