Owner's manual and sleeve.
Blaupunkts installed by the dealer came with a schematic and service booklet.
Amy,
I have a 'not quite' proper vintage Becker Europa II 599 radio in my CS. It was actually late '70's production I think, and was primarily in MB's. It is stereo, with a cassette (my cassette has a broken belt), and what I like about it in a car with AC is that the pushbuttons are on top of the dial, rather than below. You can actually access and use them! Here is a link to one - doesn't look to be in very good condition. A good one would probably run in the $200-250 range.
Cheers,
Gary

Wow, look at the pedals! SFDon was right!
The brake is on a different plane than the clutch, forward.
His rants against the knuckleheads that do not know that were spot on

buying and installing a period correct radio is not difficult

old radios had a five din connector that works well for the aux input signal of any modern device, to couple it with your bluetooth device is another thing, but not really needed
i found that the radio receiver is much better than my modern car radio
make sure that you fit a good antenna and a good installation of speakers
nothing too sophisticated, but a four system, including two in the rear shelf, one in the dash speaker place and one to compensate this fornt one opunder the passenger seat in a cigar wood box
if your radio has the uberendegler function that is ok if not add a separate unit to fade front/back, the second speaker under the front seat is crucial to compensate the impedance
new integrated console for gauges and radio
Well yea on a 911. A "water temperature gauge" on an air-cooled car wouldn't tell you much! OK, but what do you do with that information? Pull off to the side of the road until the oil warms up? I'm just not getting what action you would take based having both coolant and oil temp...

my NOS hirschmann antenna
well first of all a big thank you to Andre, who was so kind to sell and went through the efforts to send me this beautiful hirschmann antenna, NOS, perfectly preserved it contains: i had a useless hole in my rear panel, so i wanted to somehow fill in the gap (hole) ;-)

Amy,
One piece of add on info from some discussions I had with the man who owned SW Stereo about 20 years ago. His first name is Stefan, and I think Weiss is his last name, but can't remember for sure.
We talked several times about Becker and Blaupunkt, car radios. He was always insistent that Becker was the superior product, and felt that they were easier to get repaired than the Blaupunkt. If you want to contact him, (assuming he still operates the company), here is their web site: www.swstereo.com
