RE: [Chrysler300] RCA AP-1 Hi-Way HiFi

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gil, 

Blue and yellow 1960 manual - correct. Says "Imperial" and "Chrysler"  on
the cover.  The record player is covered at the very end of Group 1
(Accessories), page 33 and has the following info:  Make:  RCA Victor;
Model: AP-1  ; speed: 45 RPM;  capacity: Fourteen 7" 45 rpm

Ron and All:
Thanks for the additional record player info.  I could not remember
anything in my service manual on it, so just rechecked.  It is the blue and
yellow 1960 Chrysler and Imperial manual, and mine, at least has NOTHING on
any  record 
player!   Wonder why the difference??

Hi all,  I worked in the Radio Lab at Chrysler Highland Park in 1960-61.  I 
can't  give you any background on the Hi-Way HiFi, but I was there for the  
introduction of the RCA unit.  The RCA unit (45rpm with inverted spindle
which 
held 10 records) was offered  through the Desoto/Plymouth Dealers  for the
1960 
model year only.  They had no corporate identification  except for the RCA 
logo on the front and a paper sticker on the back with a  serial number and 
model AP-1.  RCA may have marketed them through the  dealer system after
that and 
I think some of the company radios were supplied  with auxiliary sockets
My 
Chrysler Imperial Service Manual (and  Desoto) for 1960 has it listed with 
seven pages of service instructions.   I can not say that it was only
offered as 
a dealer install, they are  highlighted in a Desoto brochure for 1960.
Anyway, 300s forever, Ron  Gendjar, 300F, Livonia Mi
