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

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Hi John:
Silly me----I was looking only at the radio section!   Now I know  why when 
Carol wants to find something, she looks for it herself.   Ha.  Yes, my manual 
is the same as yours.  Bob Jasinski also noted his  manual has the RCA info, 
kindly and diplomatically suggesting the possibility we  might have different 
versions.  No, mine's the same----I just didn't look  far enough.  As Bob 
mentioned, it is for DeSoto only, as so stated in the  manual.  There is certainly 
no code for a record changer in the 1960  Chrysler option list.  (But I 
promise I will look again!)
Thanks John and Bob for the correction.  
300ly, Gil

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
