WOW that is a great bus -congratulations ! appears to be super solid and pretty much original except for taillights and steering wheel ! loving the extra dash pod for the radio- awesome vintage stuff !

also a sweet tow car (Jürgens Autovilla?).
What are the plans for the Barndoor?

Yes, this is realy a cool bus, you won´t find these normaly nearly anymore thesedays. Kai had some luck get his hands on this one and the good thing is, take a look at his other restaurations, he will do his best on it! Cool

loving the silly double sunvisors. those were the things that 'proud' owners would add in the 50s or 1960s. can also spot an accessory power outlet. Does this even have a Sperrwolf ? so cool ! Cool

Where is a power outlet?
I don’t find one, but a fuse for it.

djfordmanjack · Posted: Tue Sep 17, 2019 12:20 pm Post subject: Re: 1952 Kombi

there you have it, right next to the fuse box. it is brush painted over the original aluminium finish. it is the smaller type of socket that a RACO emergency light will perfectly connect to. at RV dealers (Wohnmobilzubehör oder Conrad Electronic) you can also get an adapter that will plug into the old small outlet and will provide either a large (modern) socket or USB device.

Ahh...

Original?

djfordmanjack · Posted: Tue Sep 17, 2019 12:46 pm Post subject: Re: 1952 Kombi

No, most probably not, but a period acessory, maybe dealer installed, but probably by owner. I think back then those were mostly used for the AUTOFUM cigarette lighters and Raco lights. no cell phones around back then Wink

If you want to keep the electrics on 6V, there are cheap and good quality 20A voltage converters ( step up) available with a steady 12v supply through the power socket. then you can use modern 12V->5V USB adpaters for your phone, camera and whatnot.

I just thought because the fuse describes it.
But it is nice and a must have

interesting !
is this a Standard or Kombi ? Was the Steckdose ( power outlet) factory equipment for the Std ? have seen it in DLXs and Ambulances. M ?
