 This
is a 1955 Ford radio that has been converted to stereo. The appearance
as viewed from the passenger compartment remains original, with all
controls functioning as designed. Inside, the chassis which contained
the tubes and transformers has been removed and replaced with a new,
modern digital stereo receiver and 180 watt RMS 4 speaker amplifier. The
original antenna connection and all “up front” controls are retained.
The original mounting is still in place so it goes back in the car the
same way it came out. A tiny LED has been embedded in the dial
background that indicates status by changing colors for various
conditions. AM is red, FM is green. It also functions as a tuning
indicator, changing from dim to bright when a station of sufficient
strength is tuned in. The LED also changes from green to yellow when the
receiver locks on an FM stereo station. There are 4 BTL amplifiers
capable of delivering 45 watts RMS each - that’s 180 watts RMS
maximum output power! (14.4 Volts, 4 ohm load, 1 kHz). Radios can be
configured for 1, 2, 3, or 4 speakers if powered from a 12 volt system.
1 speaker (mono) systems are recommended where adding a second speaker
is not desirable or practical. When the balance control is set all the
way to the right channel and the fader control is set to the front, the
radio will enter the mono mode. CDs and/or XM radios will also be in
mono. If more speakers are added later, stereo operation will
automatically be restored when the balance control is adjusted. |
