Factory radio/antenna, What repro or refurbished items are available to take the radios back to stock? Options

[Tommyfogarty]

Hello all,

I am new to Porsche and have just bought a '74 1.8. While the car is very unmolested (owned by two people, the nurse who bought it upon her return from Vietnam in '73 and subsequently the man who bought her house a couple of years ago) it has what I assume is a typical modification- new CD player, speakers and one of those 14" rubber antennae. It seems as though the center of the dash has a plate that can be removed and replaced, yes? I assume one can find a Blaupunkt Europa or Frankfurt NOS or refurbished? Also, did they come stock with a flex antenna? A collapsable? Are they available? Any guidance would be appreciated! Thanks!!

Tommy, The Antenna is not powered & the Correct Location is on the Driver's Side.

However, Most 914's came to the US without a Radio (most of the cars that had a Factory Installed Radio were 1970 914-6s) and the Dealer would install a Radio & Antenna for a Big Profit ( Heck I remember when you could buy a Pioneer SuperTuner at a HiFi store for $79). Dealers would install the Antenna on the passenger side a lot because it was easier. If your Antenna is on the PS, I would keep it there.
