>Lou, sure hope you changed over to color T.V. instead of the old B/W, it
is
much nicer. <g> It is not just the C/D player, how about the electronic
ignition, GPS system, elec cooler, and a lots more accessories/gadgets
available today that were not 40 years ago, and from what I have read the
main reason for Pos. vs neg was longer plug life on the pos. side, no idea
if this is fact or not. "FT"

Fred, what polarity is your Model A? If it is negative ground then that
supports my theory that the switch to negative ground is to "go with the
flow" and since the 'murican's were negative ground it made sense to
switch. That way all the radio's could be the same, all the other
electronics could be the same and jump starting cars lead to fewer
suprizes.
I could be all wet, tho.
