Tell Me About this Radio - Please

[CSteve]

I don't know anything other than the knobs are period correct for my 74 CSi Euro coupe. At least that is what I was told.

I would like to know if this is a correct radio for my coupe, and any other interesting points.

I did not connect the amplifier, listen to the custom exhaust instead.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

That is a Koln (model 7632740) introduced in 1972. It has the long and short wave bands and the euro only FM band that stops at 104. If you could see the label on the side it would also confirm which year it was built. That is a rare radio in the US.

Steve,

Even though it doesn't receive the full US FM spectrum (per Chris), it should be fabulous for listening to exhaust noise!!

Hope all Bucks County residents (especially those with an e9) have a Happy New Year.

mine is very similar to that one, but mine is not that one

fascia included, mine is a ludwischafen
very happy with it,
a mono radio very simple, only one channel, and no switch for antenna
it has a five pin DIN female that you can use for an MP3

May be able to get a 7-pin aux cable on ebay.

Hook that to an iLive Bluetooth adapter.

Mono radios only have a six pin DIN.

Good to know.

That is a very good looking radio, the knobs are identical to the E9 lighter/wiper speed.
And it has more buttons to press than DQs! When I press those mechanical presets my brain releases endorphins.

I would install it, just avoid the anatopistic LED you see in DQs adapter.

Two options:

Ana Topic - the youngest of the three Topic sisters, known for her poor taste in cars and boyfriends.

Anatopism- Something that is out of place, e.g. seeing the youngest of the three sisters in church.

I try, without success, to avoid anything LED. The knobs that came on the radio when I bought it were NOT correct according to my e9 buddy. So I purchased those at great expense, seriously, to be correct and not offend his higher sensibilities. And, yes, I will hook up the amp and get it humming.

Thanks for all the positive comments.
