Ford F-1540 Questions
#24

Chas

Thank you for all the information and help with this.  I have a couple of resistors that I will replace as they have drifted up in value and I think I’ll be done.

Interesting observation about the polarity requirement.  The station wagon is still 6 volt positive ground and the owner has no interest in changing to 12 negative so I will not have to worry with that.  A lot of the antique car community likes to convert over.   

I appreciate the offer of the noise reduction documentation.  I think we are not going to worry with it at this point as we feel this is may only get used a little at shows just to show off a working radio.  It will be a bit before we can install it as the wagon is currently having some other maintenance done.  Ford also addresses some of this in their service bulletins.  

I’ll have to post some pictures when I finish up.  The radio is not much to look at being a black iron box, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right.

Thanks for taking time to provide me with more helpful input.

Bill
