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.
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.
From my 69. A US spec Frankfurt...
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:mad: .
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...:D
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.

Eric
