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

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gil,
 
My '60 Chrysler/Imperial Service Manual has coverage on the AP-1 player.
Coverage is from page 32 to 38.  From the looks of it, this was a factory
accessory on PS-1 and PS-3 DeSotos only.  On the very first page of my
manual, on the bottom left corner is printed 12M-SD & to 12-59, so maybe you
have a different printing of the manual?

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
