Does anyone have any knowledge about the autronic eyes? I have a 6 volt unit in my car and it works fine, on 6 volt, however, I converted to 12 volt, what can I do to convert my autronic? I ordered one off ebay that was supposed to be 12 volt, but upon researcing the unit I determined it was a 6 volt unit.l The amplifier had a scematic inside that was dated Nov 52, and an indication that it was 6 volt, and the phototube has a date of Mar 52, I don't think they manufactured a 12 volt in 52. Can anyone verify that, and can anyone tell me any other way to determine 6v from 12 v?

1953 OLsmobiles and Cadillacs ad 12 volts and often were equipped with Autronic Eyes.
That is about all I can tell you.

I would contact John Oldenburg in IL. He deals with Autronic and Guide-matic headlight controls from 1953-1966. I will PM you his number. I purchased a Guide-matie system from him several years ago.

Chevs of the Forties sells voltage reducers for running 6v accesssories on 12v.. PT#111905 Catalog price $88.75. Might be the most cost effective way to go and you can keep your 6volt unit.
Good luck.
