Re: Simple solution for tunes in the Packard

A few years ago I had a 1938 Buick with the tube radio and I came across a schematic that showed how to install a 3.5mm switched audio jack inline with the the detector tube circuit(I think detector). I performed the modification while I was re-capping the radio and it worked awesome. I was able to plug in an iPod and hear modern music through the original radio. What made it especially fun for me was downloading period radio shows and music for car shows. The jack allowed the input cable to be removed, restoring AM reception. I plan to do this same modification on my 41' Clipper radio when I re-cap it. I'll try to find the schematic and post it here.
