There were a lot of car radios sold from the mid-1930's to the mid-1960's, all of them with tubes. Some time out during WWII when production shifted to aircraft and tank radios. With tubes. In 1964 I bought a high-end car radio with the latest thing -- hybrid tube and transistor. Special tubes that would work with +12V plate supplies
That's what I was thinking of -- the car radios using the special tubes with the low plate voltage, not the low filament voltage.
ifor RF and IF, and a pair of power transistors for the audio output. Oh, yes, it was AM, FM, and Marine band. But I could never get it to play Sousa on the Marine band. :-)
Wow, Marine band too, eh? Totally cool! :) -Kelsey -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
