Hi, I recently bought a '74 2.0 that never has had a radio. I'm thinking about installing a reconditioned Blaupunkt radio, from that time frame, if I can find one. Do any forum readers know where I could look? Don't laugh, but ideally, I'd even consider radio/cassette (I'm an audio dinosaur) if such a reconditioned item still exists. Thanks

My '76 had a dealer-installed Motorola AM/FM. Just the hard plastic basketweave surround.
I wanted an upgrade when I freshened the car, and, like you, I wanted somewhat of a vintage look. I found a Blaupunkt Houston on eBay. It's AM/FM, with presets, plus a cassette player with Dolby. I think it was one of the last Blaupunkts with two big knobs for volume and tuning. The big knobs give it just enough of the old-school look.... I snared it for $68, new-in-original-box. Box has an original price sticker of over $500! And those are 1984 dollars! Anyway, here's the pic. Some would disagree that it looks vintage enough, but it really goes well with fresh backetweave- |
