How has that worked out? Have you had any of the problems with tube life that some folks predicted? I was just curious. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | I was experimenting on the bench to see what value was needed. My truck is still 6 volts. If I change over to 12 volts some day, I might go with the resistor method. The reason for going that way is to keep the radio in it's original form. They can be converted to 12 volts but that requires a donor transformer from a 12 volt radio. | | |
