Repro or original black tulip style.

Who has em? Thanks!

I found this Long Island New York company and they show to have the tulip knobs and more. I couldn't delve deeper than the what was shown. Perhaps they do not have a interactive website and do business by telephone and by email. They do show

Hi,

I assume you mean that the correct ones for a Blaupunkt X series 1966/1967 are not the tulip style ones?

The knobs on all factory installed Blaupunkt X series (as can be noticed in the drivers manual, in several factory brochures, in several articles published for the launch of the 67S, in several survivor cars with radio on Kardex…) which I have seen, are of the following style:

Please prove me if I’am wrong. Maybe tulip style was used before model 1967, although it is generally linked to OPEL.

I’ve had trouble getting any definitive answer but my guess is that “tulip” or “beveled edge” only came on Blaupunkt V and W models. I have bought a 3-4 Blaupunkts V amd W’s and they had them and came from Porsche collectors. I’m trying to find in my 65-66 brochures where I’m pretty sure I’ve found they. The Blaupunkt at the top of the page can only by a V model based on the case. A V model would not be correct for a 1967, it would likely be an X. All Blaupunkts X’s I’ve purchased have had knobs like pictured directly above and match the dash knobs. I’ve seen one of the Blaupunkt experts claim the “tulip” or “beveled edge” is 1967 only which I don’t think is logical. You would think by 1967 they would have unified these details.
I’ll look into the Opels to see what they used. Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Austin Healey used altogether other knobs I believe.

Thanks. That was my point. We are on the same page. :)

Thanks. This matches my observations regarding the X series.
Only, I had the Blaupunkt V from factory in my 356 SC cabriolet with other knobs:

Of course it can be different for 911.

The tulip style was for 67/68 linked to: Volvo…
