I sent my radio in to Vintage Blau in NY. The radio (stereo, actually) is a Blaupunkt Frankfurt. It’s now repaired but I have a few options to consider for the install.
Did any of the installed radios come with a faceplate that covered the knob area and dial area (think 70’s domestic radio faceplates). I’ve seen them on 914’s, just not sure they came that way. Most of what I’ve seen on 914’s has the radio knobs and station indicator showing through three holes in the basketweave faceplate...and that’s it, no faceplate covering that area. |

Blaupunkt radios came with a metal or plastic face in the box, like the one shown in the picture. You have to have a 914 dash plate for the installation for DIN mount or knob radio mount. I do have one of the large faceplates with the basketweave and the notch for the glove box lock. I’m just curious if some of the radios were mounted to the large faceplate and the small faceplate like the one in the pic above were installed in ‘74. I guess at a minimum something had to get installed around the dial indicator area. If the radio was mounted on the large faceplate and just the knobs and dial indicator stuck through holes in the large faceplate, there would’ve needed to be a small black plastic or chrome bezel that snapped around the dial indicator. No arguments from me, I’m just trying to determine what was available or what exactly an installed radio looked like in ‘74. Not a bunch of great images on Google... |
