Even though some dealers sold them, they were always the high priced (and better quality) radios. They are hard to come buy. They were interesting radios. You bought a radio, of which Blaupunkt made only about 4 models, then you bought an installation kit (einbausatz) which was specific for your model of car. The kit included the knobs, front panel, mounting brackets and speaker. The antenna was extra. I bought one in 68. The Frankfort US AM-FM-SW radio cost about $104 and the kit was $16. I got an antenna from VW for about $10. I should have gone with the Blaupunkt antenna, but I didn't understand that at the time. I have some later ones that I would be willing to sell, but I think they were made in the orient, and they do not have ANY of the parts that need to go with them. I DO have new Blaupunkt (well, actually Bosch, who owns them) antennas.
