There are people that modify original radios and sell retro-style modern radios for some vintage cars. I've seen some advertised in Hemmings. Problem is...I have this original Becker Brescia signal seekng tube radio that still works and I'd like to keep it in the car for 'show'.

It should be less of a problem to find (or even build) an amplifier that could be hidden behind the dash or under the seat for connection to a walkman or CD player.
I'm not looking for a 'killer' car audio system, just something acceptable that could be out of sight, except for the tape or CD unit. Other owners of classic cars might also be interested in a decent, modern sound system that doesn't require modifying the vehicle.

Another option I've considered, instead of the Becker, is installing a late '60s or early '70s Becker Europa or Blaupunkt Frankfurt AM/FM radio (I have the correct faceplate and knobs to fit one in my 220S). Some of these transistorized German radios have a DIN socket on the back that could be used to connect a cassette or CD player. But then I'd still be relying on an old radio for my main audio unit.
Thanks anyway, for all the suggestions.
The snow has finally stopped today so I'm going to try another store and see if I can find a suitable amp for my experiments.

Happy Motoring, Mark
