Volks!
I have recently found a vintage VW radio!! It's rare as hens teeth here
and although it seems out of order was a great find for me especially as I
had to negotiate with the owner for long.
Its Blaupunkt and was probably taken out of a 65 bug. The two side knobs
are missing however. Radio has 5 white sunbaked brittle push buttons with M,
25, 31, 45 and 60 written from left to right.
The face plate is chrome and dirty but should clean up good. The centre
screen has 6, 9, 12, 16, M in the first row and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, K in the
second row.
Theres a vintage looking round logo with Blaupunkt written in slant at
the centre. The brand name is also written in the screen between the two
station lines. The needle is not visible through the screen and probably
broken.
I searched around on Nick Stokes webpage but could not see such a model
there. A search on thesamba.com also was fruitless.
Can anybody shed some light here on the radios vintage? Also how do I go
about restoring it. Would make a perfect finishing touch for my 59 rag!!
