Blaupunkt Berlin Gooseneck Radio

[vickcraw]

My 1973 911 has the above radio but no radio is listed on the COA. Were these available as a dealer installed option in 1973?

[Jules Dielen]

I don't believe those were available in '73. Later style, late '70 or early '80s I'd say.

I think that Jules is correct. I had one I sold recently and as I recall, these were not sold til around '78 ish

Late 70's early 80's, referring to the Gooseneck portion.

Look at the foot pedals. Gotta be GM. I am guessing Pontiac from the fonts of the gauges.

I remember seeing them for the first time on parked cars in Paris when I lived there in 1974 & 1975, although not on a Porsche but in a Matra-Simca Bagheera! I always thought these radios were pretty cool and have two now in my personal collection (in storage) which I acquired 15 years ago at swap meets here in the states. They had an unusual gadget (microphone) which allowed you to record notes to yourself. Even late into the 1980's I saw a brand new Berlin radio for sale at a Duty-Free Shop at an airport in Germany. They (Blau) later came with a Equalizer control on the same type of gooseneck, but the Berlin unit was the ultimate cat's meow in 'at-your-fingertip' radio ergonomics back in its day!
