I sent my radio in to Vintage Blau in NY. The radio (stereo, actually) is a Blaupunkt Frankfurt. It’s now repaired but I have a few options to consider for the install.
Did any of the installed radios come with a faceplate that covered the knob area and dial area (think 70’s domestic radio faceplates). I’ve seen them on 914’s, just not sure they came that way. Most of what I’ve seen on 914’s has the radio knobs and station indicator showing through three holes in the basketweave faceplate...and that’s it, no faceplate covering that area. |

My car is a 76.
This isn't the radio that came with my car. But when I got the car, the original dash was cut for this type of radio installation. I'm a 914 rookie, but I actually thought this method of mounting a radio would be the most common. I thought most (all?) 914s were delivered with no radio and that the dealer installed them. This method would be the easiest way to put in a radio, I would think. If a 914 dash plate was used, wouldn't the original dash need to be cut vertically and exactly in the right spot in order to have it look decent? And you'd still have a vertical line where the dash plate met the original dash. |
