Radio Identification/Installation, Reinstalling the radio in '72 914 Options

[Baumgardner]

When I received my '72 914, the radio was not connected and previous owner indicated they hadn't tried to hook it up. I pulled the radio and sent it in to check out. I was told it was a Blaupunkt “Emden” model and that it worked fine. Here is pic of the radio with some codes which I have NOT been able to identify. At this point, I'm trying to figure out how to properly reconnect this. I was told the brown wire was for speakers, the blue wire was for "illumination", and should connect to dash lights, and the black wire was the power feed. The antennae feed connection is in the rear. I'm a little hesitant about properly wiring this. For one thing, I assume I need to attach a ground from the back of the radio to the chassis? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated, either in confirming the model or advice on reconnection? Thank you.

You can email matthiasklassen@aol.com, who owns Oldtimer-radio in Germany... outside of a person in London, I trust Matthias to fix these old radios.

Looking at the wiring, Black (ground), Blue (power), Brown (speaker)

Btw. More pics of the border collie please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Would you settle for a Newfoundland... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). ...but I am a border collie fan.

I have to look, but think we have an NOS set of Motorola speakers somewhere. Do you want stock or IIRC there are some new speakers out that will fit well.

NOS Motorola would be great... Thanks, let me know.

As an aside, researching these radios is quite a rabbit hole. My radio is definitely a Motorola, but since they made these for a number of cars, the model numbers sure get confusing. Between the VW numbers and the Sapphire labels the model and serial number of this one has been elusive so far although I've got close.
