OK it was probably never installed, but what about a Becker Europa II? My original dash plate has already been cut to DIN size.
If I found an un-cut dash plate and wanted a Frankfurt - would it be with a black surround as shown above - or a chrome surround? I've also seen period Blaupunks with a plastic faceplate that would go over over the basketweave... I'm so confused. My teener is late '72, but the radio is so much younger... |

Number 1 - what is your VIN? Number 2 - After I bought my 914 in late 72 (and I bought it without a radio), I went to Critchfield (VA). Bought all the parts and a Frankfurt to install. My camera is dead, but the surround is chrome (metal). I've had the car for 38 years. The radio has been played less than one hour per year (just a statement from a whacko CW). |

PAT - VIN is 4722919442 - should be late '72. I saw a photo on Rennlist with the frankfurt am/fm stereo and chrome surround. I will hold out for one of those and get an un-cut dash plate... I doubt I will ever listen to the radio though. Mark W. |
