Blaupunkts had an aux plug in the back from very early on that allowed you to plug in accessories that would then play thru the radio's amp and speaker(s.) I think the only such accessory I've got in my lit is one which picks up special nearby road condition radio signals. The photo doesn't look anything like this, however. The lower row of buttons is in the same style, so I think you're right that they are meant to go together. Note that the left button is blank: My guess is that you press this button to disable this unit so you can just listen to the radio. The numbers on the buttons are unusual; I wonder if they could be UHF TV channels? Did Europe use high numbered channels like this? There must have been a way for owners to change the numbers on those buttons. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
