Could be used for early cars but they only had 5 larger buttons. Restored buy old world craftsman 1st of year. Comes with locking bars, speaker plugs and back strap. Not cheap but hard to find ready to go. $349 shipped.

Really a nice looking radio. What kind of sound do they provide with modern speakers?

Posted by: 914Sixer Mar 11 2020, 08:38 PM

Good question since radio only puts out 10 watts. Average would be my best guess.

I believe the first Becker radio with 6 pushbuttons is from 1978. GLWS

According to the Mercedes-Benz reference they started in 1974.

Here you go. Looks like they started in 1973 not 1974
