THEMA:

Geschrieben von Clem am 27. August 2006 13:12:57:

Hello everyone,
Is anyone able to tell me what radio & antenna was originally fitted in the 280SE 3.5 coupe (my car was registered on 1 January 1970 so must have been built in the second half of 1969) and where I would most likely be able to buy these from new or good second hand?
Any help much appreciated!
Regards,

Clem

were the only radios you could order directly.
In 1969 models you could get the " Becker Europa", a simple mono radio, or the brandnew " Becker Mexico Casette" which was a mono radio combined with a stereo casetteplayer.

The " Mexico" was always combined wih four loudspeakers!
Today the " Europa" is often to be found on ebay in germany for low prices, some fifty Euro or so.
The " Mexico" is much more expencieve, cause its the germans mercerfans dream radio at all.
For a good ( and tested) one, you pay some 350 € or more.
But you could also use some " Blaupunkt" types.
This firm delivered some radios in that typicaly mercedesstyle,but they were not sold by Mercedes directly.
This radios were often used because of the cheaper prices.
More information ( and photos) you will find on the homepage of " Radio Königs" in germany; sorry, don´t find the link in the moment,try to find by google - or someone in this forum will help?
I didn´t write in english for many years - so please forgive my mistakes )
