It may be of interest to some of you that I found a matching transformer (8
Ohm to 500 Ohm) that makes it possible to feed the PA output of the CB radio
into the "LINE" input of the VIC-1 amplifier. The transformer is a Stancor
A-8101. In this fashion the CB radio sound is mixed with the intercom mike
sounds and can be monitored clearly. The CB mike is used separately as
usual.

To test the intensity of an LED type bulb the #1156 was installed in the
stop light assembly in place of the #1683. (A 100 ohm/5 watt resistor had to
be placed in series with it to limit the voltage to 12 volts.) Result: Very
little difference in light output.

Just for your information.
