A older friend has passed to me his Blaupunkt Frankfurt US (S)radio and asked if it is of any interest to Mercedes enthusiasts. As it will not fit any of my cars, I am first solicting interest from this group. This is a Blaupunkt Frankfurt US (S) transistor model with hard wired 3 pin speaker output and a 6 pin DIN connection (never used). It is a mono radio with FM AM and SW bands. There are two preset selector buttons each for FM and AM, with one button for SW. Controls are for Volume / Tone and Tuning / Sensitivity. All knobs and buttons are in pefect condition and the chrome faceplate is there (no pitting). Radio was tested using a 12VDC power supply and a short wire for antennae. Reception and sound quality are excellent. The owner is 90 years old and has about 75 years experience as an electronics tech and amp builder, so he bought the best he could when he converted from a tube car radio to transistor. The sound is testimony to the quality Blaunpunkt put into their radios, even in these early days of transistor sets. He has not driven for many years, so the radio was removed and stored in his radio shop until this week. If you are interested, send me a PM with your email address and I will send a few photos.
