Here is a photo of a vintage version: * *http://www.mbzponton.org/images/mb_r...a_TR_190SL.jpg Here is an eBay listing of a more current version (quite inexpensive): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Becke..._W0QQcmdZViewI... Also quite popular were converters; one of the most visually attractive was made by Reims and had pushbutton selection of various band segments. * *http://www.mbzponton.org/valueadded/...dios.htm*(scan down the page) There certainly were aftermarket converters for continuous SW coverage with features to be found in communication receivers; but the Reims unit seems to be one of the few stock options available for a car. Anyone know of other brands or options for various automobile makes? Regards, Michael Becker Radio$ Expen$ive ? What was it they use to say many years ago . . . The only 'acce$$ory' that you could get with your Becker Radio is a Mercede$ Benz ! ) ~ RHF |
