Help. I thought I had the manuel. I have a tech who is going to try to connect the radio to some modern equipment.
He is coming tomorrow.

Thank you very much!
Chris,
It is interesting that this is clearly a US Blaupunkt, yet the FM band is set up as if for a Euro Blaupunkt rather than a US model.

Looks to be “by the Serie Z book” According to my service instructions ring binder:
Are you are referring to the dial scale?
Attachment 527498
This is the Frankfurt For markets outside USA:
Attachment 527495
Attachment 527496
And this is their Frankfurt US version
Attachment 527497
Incidentally there is a little known model Similar to Frankfurt (but different name) that has the 108 scale normally seen on US market models but has from factory the LMU pushers; not quite sure why they did that but interesting model maybe useful for folks who have a European delivered car that would’ve had LMU pushers originally but now want the US frequency range convenience for a car that was imported to the USA. I have a spare one somewhere. Think it might even be NOS still in factory box from circa 72. But in storage so haven’t seen it for a while so can’t recall exactly the details of it offhand.
Steve
Yes. For example, I'm looking at a 1969 Frankfurt US 639670 with the FM dial that reads left to right 89->108, whereas I believe the Euro version is the mirror image (and I think 104->87). However, that model is only AM-FM. Or perhaps I'm just wrong.
Rich
Pretty sure 7639670 is later more prevalent in 70 and even into 71 as it is on range of subsequent factory service binder ( see cover below)
I have most service binders and various brochures. Likley the model you mention was introduced some point during calendar 69 but suspect even if it was it would’ve landed as factory fit for pragmatic reasons more aligned for model year 70 Porsche 911 — given the summer holidays 69-70 Porsche changeover. Having a said that I could envisage it being fitted locally in USA to a later production model 69 given shipping lead times. Maybe some snuck into very late model 69 factory fit depending how Blaupunkt radio supercession month aligned supply chain of units to the factory.
If you as implied you are looking at a physical unit the serial number prefix on paper side sicker is helpful if roughly estimating radio date is important.
Personally I like the high to low as pictured by OP because seeing one in (appropriate date) dash kind of calls out it is a period unit from before things like that were refreshed/ standardised by Bosch / Blaupunkt
Open to be corrected as I tend to focus on 72/3 era 911 just sharing some Blaupunkt references snippets I have from a big stash of binders on my shelf. Things that frankly I ought to get around to thin out as not relevant to my car. Each binder shows the Blaupunkt models per year / series; each radio model has a section with booklet that can run to great detail well beyond the typical single folded technical sheet in glovebox paperwork . Sometimes giving up to thirty pages with detailed spares list etc. Got the binders as job lot from retiring car radio technician in Germany.
Binder covering Z series

Following year binder covers 7 639 500 -999 (also have the matching 7 639 000-500 too)
Attachment 527577
Evidently moved from a series letter filing system to a numerical one when alphabet exhausted around decade end. Cover no longer paper card; more modern plastic covered binder.
Like any old school ring binder system for official service network I assume it got factory booklet updates as inserts (bit like Porsche maroon workshop manuals for its service network ) Mine is not perfect chronology due to relying on first owner to receive and file booklets diligently. Have found some gaps and other filing oddities nevertheless interesting historical set especially to see the owner hand annotated index sheets. It obviously was his working reference used as intended, rather than hobby thing gathering dust on my shelf.
