A radio and a "digital" clock! I think if we can determine when accessory radios were offered with a clock like that, we might find your answer. I sure don't ever remember seeing a radio like that. Can you tell who the radio mfg was?

I find it interesting that someone made it fit the dash. Must have carved up a blank plate to make it work.
I've never seen anything like it. Lotsa chrome too. "more experienced"? Is that a euphemism for "old fart"? Pat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

That's not an original radio plate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) No factory Porsche parts were harmed Pat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Here's a couple more pictures. Between them, I can make out the AM and FM marks on the left side, then it says Bass+, then the MFG name ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ), and finally DIGI+PLEX. I've had no luck searching through Google... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

Yup. But the shape is not correct for it to be an original radio plate.

someone could call them for false advertising (factory am/fm radio system?)
also says it is a 75 944 and then a 74 914 (i think they should edit before they submit) |
