Ray's Auto Stereo in Sacramento, CA, did a bang-up job retrofitting the Studebaker-Philco S-5130 radio.
The radio fit snugly into the dash after some minor machining work. The face of the radio looks 100-percent authentic, while the guts of the radio feature:
- A two-way 6" x 9" car speaker
- Recessed amplifier
- MP3 jack input
- Wiring to a 12-volt battery nested in the trunk; with a custom charging jack
The Studebaker is a 6-volt positive ground system, so instead of switching to a 12-volt system or using a series of converters, we decided to run wire to the trunk where the new large motorcycle battery is secure in a case.
The system provides great sound - without messing with the integrity of the 6-volt system.
