All,
I have some pictures of my radio, which certainly appears original to the car, and I have a couple of questions. First some front shots: (Note the black button on the side on the station select buttons, it pushes in and out, anyone know what it does??) I have not seen any other pictures of a radio with the "Porsche" AM/FM slide select (what have I got here?). Here's some pics of the tags, what a bitch to get these pictures. In searching this site and google I've found some links to the FTZ-Nr. U108 number, but none look like this radio. It has two DIN jacks in the back, both have 'tethered' plastic covers. (I'll try and get clearer pics, but the blood was rushing to my head..) One cover has two 'pins' in it, and the other has 4 'pins' in it, the pins appear to be aluminum, but not really sure: anyone else have a radio like this and can tell me a bit about it? thx, Turk |

I couldn't find a balance area or a potentiometer anywhere that might do it. I pulled the knobs and moved the 'bass/treble' adjuster to the other side, there definitely seems to be some adjustment there, but very stiff, what is strange is I think it is the AM/FM adjustment, because when I start to turn it, the green 'FM' behind the number 10 on the clear tuning glass starts to move. Like its going to roll over or slide over, but then the knob gives out and doesn't hold. I'm pretty sure this is going to switch from FM to AM, and the slide with the Porsche lettering is stuck hard and won't move in either direction (if its even suppossed to.) |
