Beautiful Becker Europa 2 Radio - My Stupid Questions Options

[friethmiller]

Bought this from @914Sixer 4 years ago and I'm thinking about installing it in the LE. I'm sure it's not the exact radio for an LE but it might be the one I go with for now. Question: what are all these pieces, I forget. The metal tabs look like hanger-type hardware. How does it install? I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) What about these weird looking connections? Speaker inputs I assume. Is this other wire a ground? Sorry, not a radio expert. TIA.

I have one of these but 6 button - a little extravagance from a later year - 1978
what year code is yours ?
these are worth a good detailed installation
mine takes a minute or two to warm up properly
also make sure you have a good aerial and good speakers - mine are from Konigs autoradio in Haan Germany

Dennis,

First off, I think Aussies & Kiwis who own 914s are the best! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Not sure on the date code. Stickers are all gone. Any stampings are hard to read. Is there a place to look for this date? The speakers I want for this radio are a bit pricey and would come from Germany. Going to wait... just bought the final 3 tires for the LE. Trying to keep the expenditures under the wife's radar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
