This is my early 60's Bendix Saphire 1 ("Tombstone") 6volt Radio that I found on Craigslist last year. I sent it to R & B Vintage Auto radio and Richard did a full conversion. Looks old, but is 12v with Bluetooth, voice command, hands free phone, USB, aux, AM FM, 45 watts x 4 plus rca sub jack. Watch YouTube video:

Yesterday, on the way to Bug In, after driving a half hour my 1600 dp in my single cab lost power. I turned around, limped home, searched internet, then went to the event in my BMW.
I discussed the problem in depth with Chris of NuVintage. When I told him I installed electronic sensor to replace points/condensor, he asked if my truck was a generator (it is 12v) and said some sensors don't like generators.
I removed it (burnt unit pictured) and replaced with points/condenser, reset timing, then drove for an hour and a half without problems! Thanks Chris, It's running great!
I bought the part for $36 shipped on ebay: Manufacturer Part Number:
AC905545
Brand:
IAP/Dura International
Interchange Part Number: 0231170034
Warranty: Yes Other Part Number: EMPI 9437B
I've had great success with the CompuFire unit, and I've heard good things about Pertronix....
So..... Don't buy this one!
I've requested a refund and sent pic, I'll see what happens?
