Really a nice looking radio. What kind of sound do they provide with modern speakers?

Good question since radio only puts out 10 watts. Average would be my best guess.

New lower price

Adding front picture and found OEM Porsche mounting plate.

That is a terrific looking radio. GLWTS.

I believe the first Becker radio with 6 pushbuttons is from 1978. GLWS

According to the Mercedes-Benz reference they started in 1974.

Do you have documentation of this ?

Here you go. Looks like they started in 1973 not 1974

According this website 1978 is the first 6-pushbutton radio from Becker

Is there a papertag on the side of the radio?

'74 it was/is...i had one in my '74 280C...took it to maybe use in my 914 conversion....these photos make me want to go for it

Beautiful Radio! Now for some reason all I hear in my head is U2's Zooropa!
