Thanks, I have a Fender Champion 600 coming & might have use for that info.
Until the late 50's, every car radio was 'tube'..
Look inside an old B52m there are so many tubes behind the consoles it is not even funny.
They STILL sell, and there is a fairly decent resurgant market for 'audiophile' tube systems for cars to this day.

I had an old Willys Jeep, the things radio never worked.. actualy I didn't let it'warm up' long enough.. it was tubes, and the 6 volt systems of the day, took a decent amount of time to warm up.
One may laugh, but I have also had, and they were once fairly popular, a 45 rpm record player in one of my autos as well..
yes, records and TUBES in cars..
Believe it or not! *G*
