Blaupunkt Frankfurt was the most common.
The car however could have been delivered with a different model Blaupunkt like say a Hamburg, a Becker radio or even without a radio. The only way to tell would be from the C of A but even there that is a crap shoot due to the high number of errors often found on them.

I've always considered the glass to be half full...that is until I reached middle age and realized that it is actually half empty.
my c of a claims it was delivered with a philips am/fm cassette (1969 911S) but I have not seen such a radio, can anyone post photos, or better yet, if anyone has one they'd like to sell, I'd be interested.

I actually had that phillips radio as it was a replacement for the frankfurt that came in my car after it was stolen in 1972. I traded it for a us frankfurt to get back to original. I will see if the person still has it. I even had the manual too.

According to my book by Dr. Johnson which shows standard equipment, the following radio's were installed in 1971 Porsche's
Blaupunkt
Frankfort-US AM/FM
Blaupunkt
Koln AM/FM/LW signal seeking
Phillips
AM/LW cassette
Boxster03,
According to my book, the Phillips AM/LW cassette radio was one of several factory radios offered or installed in 1969
my replacement radio was a 1972 phillips am radio not the one you describe as correct for 1969. my car came with a us frankfurt so I traded the phillips off for the 1970 us blaupunkt.

Sonnett43,
I have a pic of your radio from a US '71 brochure but I can't upload it due to being a tif file.
PM me your e mail address and I will send it to you.
I also have a photocopy from a '69 MY brochure which I believe to be one and the same radio - talk about re cycling pics for later years...
The accessory number in '69 was 9470 amd M449 in '71 fyi.
Cheers,
Dennis.

Bummler's pic of the 69 radio is identical to the Frankfurt that is in my one owner (I'm the second) 71E targa with 43K original miles.
