Stereo, 4 speakers and 12 CD multichanger for ours. Although being a convertable, you need often find that the car noise drowns most CDs out!

There was an in-car record deck, I remember seeing it at a classic car show a loooong time ago.
I believe you were only meant to use it while stationary though
As it is, modifiying a record deck to be driven off a 12 volt motor with a voltage stabilier shouldn't be *too* hard, then you just need a 12V powered phono-amplifier stage prior to connecting it to your in car amplifier. Shouldn't be too hard....although it would be somewhat on the pointless side imho.
Despite this, it's quite tempting and may have to go on the list of things to (eventually) do.

What in car Amplifier
Sounds a bit complex for an electrically challenged person like myself.

Philips used to make an in-car record player - only played 45s... I think you could use it on the move, but it wouldn't be a terribly bright idea...

I found a picture of it, incidentally - it was a slot-in player, like modern CD systems. You never know, one might appear on eBay... unlikely I know, but if anyone was interested... ;)

My Pink Triangle turntable operates on 16V, 500mA DC already, should only need a very small resistor to drop it to 12/13V. Now out with the tools to make a shock resistant gimbal support to fit in my car!

You cant use that sort of Quality Item in a Moggie as

Would need to be better than the suspension.

Thank goodness for that or I would have thought the next stage would be a nice veneered B & O Radiogram in the back

Thanks to my recent innovation (see Useful Tips) I now have CD, MP3, Radio and Cassette in Minerva! The only problem is that the roads I take to work are a little bumpy even for a 2 minute antishock system

I'm at the laptop listening to the Small Faces
Verry good taste! Cant work on my cars without a nice bit of music in the background.
