Becker Radio Europa BMW MG - Refurbished with warranty

Description: For sale a refurbished Radio Becker Europa MU . This was installed in late 1960's , early 1970's - see the advertising material slide (included in the sale) - in European vehicles like BMW, Volkswagen plus Italian and English brands. It is a rare find with this fascia and refurbished... This radio has an internal amplifier; the speaker connects directly on the back of the radio. You can connect 2 speakers by using a splitter or a fader. This particular example was manufactured in 1969 for European market - recognizable after the BC markings. US market version had AM markings instead.As is right now the -12v is connected to chassis, hence the yellow note on the side. However, this radio can be set with +12V to chassis by changing position of jumpers inside the radio. Let me know and I can change the polarity for you before shipping. It has 5 station buttons (characteristics of Becker late 60's/early 70's) vs 6 buttons in late 70's. About Bluetooth on this Becker (not included in the sale): The designers of the time did not had an idea about Bluetooth but they were smart enough to provide a DIN plug on the back for Input/Output of the audio signal. The DIN plug on the back can be used to insert a Bluetooth adapter - not included in the sale - to stream music or for hands free communication. On the "good stuff" Bluetooth adapter: Open the plug in the back of the radio, insert the adapter and you are done. You have to do that only once, when you install; after that every time the radio is ON the Bluetooth will be also present. If interested, see below the link to the Bluetooth adapter.
