'81 300SD - is this the stock stereo?
Can anyone tell me if this is the stock audio system for an '81 300SD?

I know that was the stock stereo on my '81 240D and for years prior to 1981. However, I am unsure if they used that on the higher end cars. It's a question of when the Becker BE612 was first used. My '86 SDL came with the Becker 612 when I bought it used, but it really should have had the BE 754 in it (someone got it off of an earlier vehicle). Bottom line: that is a stock stereo from 1981; whether it's from a 300 SD is another story.

in 1979 they still used the europa beckers--
much better looking! yes-- do yourself a favor and install 4 speakers of stock size, all new wiring, a new head unit of your choice, an amp and a single small subwoofer. itll make a WORLD of difference in how much you enjoy the car! when i got my 240 i immediately installed new speakers in the factory locations(2 in the dash...) and left the becker, adding an ipod and tunecast. sounded like...well... 2 tweeters producing sound transmitted over fm radio waves... so i completly reworked it and it is very nice! links to pics: Subwoofer box and some images: http://www.benzworld.org/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1231232&posts=15 Adding rear speakers and HeadUnit(rear shelf was rotting, had to build one of masonite): http://www.benzworld.org/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1223762&posts=7

Yeah it should have a Becker 612 in there from the factory.

We have one of those radios (like you have in your car) in a box in our basement, it came standard on the lower MB's....(this one was in a car in germany, my dad removed it and moved here and it kinda tagged along appearantly)
My original radio was in the car when I got it, it worked fine I suppose, but I wanted more than local FM radio, so I upped to a kenwood headunit + sirius satellite, best thing I have ever done. I later did the same to the 83, both cars are "high tech" now.  and it sounds great on the stock speakers, so no issues there.

The manual that came with *my* '81 300SD showed pics of both styles of Becker, with a notation that the digital Becker was optional equipment.
I would say that the analog one is a rare OEM unit, actually. Maybe even 1981 only for 300SDs.

I agree, I bet some cars had it, just extremely few because of the kind of cars (real exepensive) these were. Note this car also lacks a moonroof, another expensive option, perhaps the buyer didn't want those frills and ordered one specifically without them/paid less for it etc.... Judging by the absent moonroof I would definatley think the radio is also what came with the car, they just opted for the cheaper one.
