original radio

Post by lewy 912 »

Hi Chaps,
I'm sure it's been covered many times before but where can I find out what the original car stereo would have been in my 66' 912.
Keen to get one back in there, perhaps one that's had it guts ripped out and replaced with a modern system.. not sure.
thanks

Hi Dave

I have a Becker Europa in my '66 car

other options would have been
Blaupunkt - Bremen, Frankfurt, Koln and New Yorker
Becker - Monte Carlo, Europa and Mexico

I'd have a look at what Chrome London offer - their prices seem pretty reasonable.

+1 Chrome London

Super helpful. Pretty easy to install the radio. Do you have the speaker in the front of the dash?

Hi Ian / Neil,

Thanks for telling me about Chrome London. What a fantastic service, Mike certainly knows his stuff.

I've just ordered a Blaupunkt Frankfurt from him, a good price (certainly cheaper than anything similar i've seen on fleabay) and with the face plates, i pod lead and a warranty.

Anyone else out there looking, I would certainly recommend this company.

Cheers
Dave
