I'm quite sure my Frankfurt was dealer installed, not factory. I am thinking that by '74 the US dealers were installing something else. If Steve wants a proper '74 radio, he should do more research before settling on a Frankfurt.
When did cassette tape players first appear in cars?
I was a kid in '74 (17) and had an under the dash cassette player in my '65 VW. It VW had a Blaupunt pull out "picnic radio" in the dash..probably worth big $'s today.
I recall seeing cars WAY out of my range at the time (like 914's although I can't recall seeing 914's specifically with them) having cassette players.
If they even exist, I'm sure a reconditioned cassette player from that era that MAY have been in 914's would probably cost a mint. To be sure, I may just settle for a am/fm radio, once I figure out what is is I'm looking for and where to find it.
Thanks to all for the good advice so far.
Steve
