I was investigating some old boxes and found the original Blaupunkt radio that came in my '59 Campmobile. Or maybe it was the '63 panel Bus (30 yrs back and a bunch of stories). Anyway, the Busses are sadly gone, but the Blaupunkt remains. It has 3 bands. AM, FM, and M (marine or short wave). If I remember correctly, it is a tube radio, but it has a hardwired satellite amplifier with what looks like 3 enormous transistors mounted in a heat sink on one end. It was so big and heavy that even under the copious Bus dash, it took two units to make an auto radio. I have no idea of its current condition. It worked when I removed it to put in the stereo 8-track player. Big stuff back then. The 8-track was in the box also. If anyone is interested in buying it for a old Bus or can give me the address of the Bus list and how to sign on (same as with us?) drop me an e-mail. It will probably take some work to make it operate correctly. I have no idea of it's worth and won't look into it if a reasonable offer is made from someone doing an old Bus restoration or wants to put it into it's original hole. Otherwise I'll look on the antique radio buff's list or e-bay. Dave B. '83.5 Tiico Westy '83.5 WBX Westy
