Does someone here have an original, not modified, AC console faceplate, not installed or with the radio out, and could precisely measure the size of rectangular cutout and the diameter of the holes for the knobs?
precisely measure cutout in AC faceplate for me?

The radio opening is 95.3 x 42.8 mm. The radio knob holes are 11.1mm. This is a substantial cast aluminum part.
thanks!
do you have a way of measuring the radius on the corners of the cut out? a radius gauge or circle template?
I have one, but a previous owner modified it

I did an analysis of the posted photo with Photoshop using the stated width of the radio opening as a standard to set the scale of the image. The radius of the corners looks to be very close to 4.5mm, within a few hundredths. That's the best I can do with an image of this resolution.
where is this drawing from? thanks
I did find on the Blaupunkt a very good photo of a faceplate, the photo when scaled fit the other dimensions of my layout, from that I got 5mm R
I created it in Fusion 360 based on measurements from my faceplate. Glad to see we both arrived on a radius of 5mm.
Nicely done!! We seem to have a small clan of Fusion gurus here!
More like a novice when it comes to Fusion 360.
