I have an early Blaupunkt Frankfurt AM/FM for sale in the for sale parts forum here and it is a mono version. I received a PM saying only "Stereo" versions were installed in 914's and 914-6's at the factory. Obviously you could order a stereo version (very expensive) but I would guess most 914's with factory installed radios were the mono version or they came over with no radio. Anyone have an original early 914 or 914-6 that came with a factory installed stereo Blaupunkt or Becker?

I've only seen two antennas that were installed in the factory location using the correct mast, the proper under fender support bracket or the provided hole for the wire.
For a dealer to install it the right way on a lower cost car probably made it too expensive for a 914 customer. Dealers typically ordered the cars with no radio or antenna so they could install the least expensive equipment for the greatest profit. A customer who chose to order a car using the option list is a different story. The Blaupunkt Frankfurt has the right 'look' for our early cars for sure. We also have two speakers, (unlike the period 911)so a stereo really seems right. Best choice for a serious 6 restoration ? Fill the hole in the fender and get a radio block off plate. You can't hear the radio anyway. |
