radio

[Dave Eaton]

ahh, the old m-b fintail, departed this last year, was a fine piece of
automotive sculpture, and a pig of a car.

but the becker radio?  the original am-only?  a pearl.

also agree about blaupunkt.  my theory is that its a snob thing.  people
figure that if you can pronounce it, then it must be good.  they're wrong of
course.  ripped out the bluedotty thing from the ur, and installed a becker
in it's place.  now just have to add the mdf parcel shelf...

The radio originally envisaged for the ur-quattro had seventy memories
that were guaranteed to retain programmed frequencies for ten years
using EEPROMS.

Unfortunately Audi decided that Blaupunkt had a better reputation in
overseas markets than Philips - just as Daimler-Benz has had to drop
the superb Becker range in many export markets because the brand is
virtually unknown.
