You have new car radios for 1942 automobiles that are no longer being built because of America's entry into the war. What do you do with them? Why, convert them into AC sets and get rid of them...

I believe it was a move by Philco to use up excess car radio inventory just prior (early 1942) to converting 100% to war work for the government during WWII.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
