[billy_charisma]

hello everyone, i have a 1950 volvo pv444 which i use in the uk, not many here! i want to fit a 12v radio/cd player, but its a 6volt system, any ideas on a step up converter? i thought about a 12v batry in the boot and charge it when its flat or add a 12v solar charger,,

if you would like any photos just email me billy.charisma@ntlworld.com

there are 6v -> 12v converters i belive jcwhitney carrys them. ive heard they make a rather annoying buzzing sound tho.

i could not find it in their online catalog but it might be worth a call.

Go to your local electronics store. You need an inverter to change 6 volts to 12 volts. They come in various outputs. I have used them for over 45 years and have never had a problem with them. At one time I had four different ones installed at the same time because I could not get enough wattage from one so I used a different unit for each of my 12 volt acessories. I have never noticed any buzzing from the units or static on my radios.
