Any body want this??? Free, just pay shipping...

...I don't even know if it's worth anything. It's good, I don't remember which one of my cars it came out of. It was a Benz, that's for sure.

That's 100% aftermarket. I had a very similar radio in my 280SE. My dad bought it @ Boscov's in the 90s for $20.
It was a really nice radio with an aux input for my MP3 player. Also: 8 tracks had no reverse, they all played in the same direction.

It is not an 8 track, it's a cassette player.

I was under the impression that it was a factory radio.

Is that Blaupunkt German-made or Asian? (Japan, Singapore) It looks '80s or early '90s, and could have been a European-market and/or dealer-installed unit. At least it's clean & tasteful, with decent size buttons - unlike the Chinese 'Vegas at Midnite' aftermarket radios I see today.
How much would shipping be to ZIP 22309?

Happy Motoring, Mark

I had a very similar Tucson cassette tape unit in my 73 Porsche, sold, and have a Miami CD in my 123. They fit the look of the 80s cars well and don't sound bad either.

I don't know, probably less than $10. It doesn't weigh much. I think this came off my AMG yeeeeaars ago.

I am pretty sure all Benz radios were labeled as Becker or Mercedes, but I may be mistaken. That specific radio was never used in any MB that I've ever seen.

Perhaps unironically, it sounded much better than the 80's Sony cassette it replaced that the P/O put in, looked nicer, and got better FM reception, in addition to having a working aux input and tape deck I hate the "Modern" radio choices and honestly I prefer OEM or older ones like that myself.
