Re: Electric CD Wagon Project
Bruce,
Sounds like a great project! You’ll find Crosley folks are generally good natured and supportive of experimental projects.
There are three major parts vendors for almost anything you need

Thanks, Tim! Great to know that there's a solid following in Florida. I'll try to attend the Sarasota meet. I can make Sarasota in a couple of hours in light traffic.
