6volt radios??
 

Anyone know where I can buy a new 6volt radio ? I need to install one in a 356.

check out hemmings motor news(online at hemmingsmotornews.com), even if there isn't the right one advertised for sale there are a lot of "old radio guys" with general ads there who can put their hands on just about anything.

Excellent Thank You.

A few show up for sale on 356talk occasionally, and theres occasionally some on eBay as well. But you won't find anything new... JC Whitney sells an 6->12 inverter that should be enough to power a radio, amp, and speakers...

What year 356? I have a pre-A Telefunken to sell.

A lot of antique car buffs (such as myself) put a lot of weight on originality, so I would definitely spring for the correct radio for your car if you can afford it and originality is something you're after.

Something that I've done with my 1938 Buick is to install both the factory original radio and an aftermarket radio....the original is one of the centeropieces of the dash (chrome grill, art deco knobs, etc) but for all of its grandeur it is still an old tube type AM radio. So I have one of the voltage converters that id10t mentioned powering a CD unit I installed in my glove box. That way the originality is still there but I can listen to legit music rather than talk radio.

On Magnolia or one main Street north By the powerlines Greenbelt is an Old Car Radio Store .Its on the south side of the street. I would drive by it on my way to Autobooks.
