We have all discussed radios, but thought since I was taking some pics for a customer that I would post. The original blaupunkt frankfurt (writing only about frankfurt now) ordered as an option from the factory (a very rare occurrence) or from the dealer had two different designs over the 70-76 run: 70-12/73 and 1/74-76 (do not get me wrong, the dealer installed later on the earlier and vice versa) but BASICALLY these were the cut offs. The difference was the face and surround. Early had a chrome surround with rounded edges and late had a black surround with square edges. The later looked at the time more modern and less reflective for safety standards.
  As you can see two types are displayed along with both the usa and the european faces. The am fm bands are very slightly different but the european will work in the usa. HOWEVER the european face is not correct for any usa car, so if looking for one, if you can get the usa face your 914 would be more correct |

My car came with a crap Kmart 8 track. Got this mint radio on eBay from a guy in Alaska for 250 a couple months ago with most of the mounting hardware. It looked unused. George at AA hooked me up with the dash plate and the rear mounting clip. Added a Bluetooth module to the auxiliary input and now I can stream Dark Side of the Moon right from my phone.

QUOTE(jdamiano @ Jul 23 2022, 07:36 PM)  My car came with a crap Kmart 8 track. Got this mint radio on eBay from a guy in Alaska for 250 a couple months ago with most of the mounting hardware. It looked unused. George at AA hooked me up with the dash plate and the rear mounting clip. Added a Bluetooth module to the auxiliary input and now I can stream Dark Side of the Moon right from my phone. That Blaupunkt Frankfurt is the most complimentary choice for our early dashboards. It is period correct and the perfect match to the heat/defrost control surround. It is often seen in similar era 911s that have only a single speaker. We are lucky that 914s have two speakers available. We can choose the stereo version of the Frankfurt without having to cut our door panels. See the picture in my earlier reply. For early cars Perry, Damiano and Gandalf have the right units properly mounted. |
