<VV> RediRad

[Kevin Clark kevin@kcvairbrush.com]

I didn't see any part number on the device itself except in the  
manual. It is RR100. And it says "designed to operate with any  
vehicle with a 12 volt, negative-ground electrical system...". Didn't  
see any mouse poop in the speaker nest either.
Anyone around Dayton, Ohio have a spare radio to sell? I'm looking  
for a stock AM for a 63 Corvan. Must be cheap!

All kinds of theories as to how the RediRad may have fried the radio.
It didn't.  The radio died of natural causes.  Of old age and exertion,
probably.  Throw another radio in there and drive on!

OK...  You made me look.....

There are 4 versions...

PASTE:
Products
The RediRadT is available in four versions:

   a.. Negative-ground 12 volt (model RR100-N)
   b.. Positive-ground 12 volt (model RR100-P)
   c.. Positive-ground 6 volt (model RR106-P)
   d.. Negative-ground 6 volt (model RR106-N)
Maybe he got a 6 volt OR the wrongly grounded one?  I still would  
have put a
fuse in the line - say 10 amp?  Seems like the instructions would have
mentioned proper amperage.

Later, JR
