Found it! Blaupunkt Frankfurt model 7632640, exactly correct model and year.  Ebay, of course, from Poland.

 

Thanks for the info.

Wow: that was fast! Please post photos of the face and identification numbers when it arrives.

Congrats on finding the right model!

Straight from poland. Was on ebay, I made an offer and was accepted. Quick shipping too. It fits in my Behr console, but the original owner had widened the hole for the faceplate of the Realistic 1984 era radio so that it is a little wide. I should be able to rig up something to make it more cosmetically happy. The wiring from 1984 is a mess also of course. This stereo is good because you can plug a cable into the back of the unit and run it to an ipod...

Adding photo of what appear to be period-correct radios pulled from various 2002's (Blaupunkt, Motorola and Audiovox). -KB

 

Thank you, KB.

 

The top-most unit appears to be a Blaupunkt Frankfurt Stereo US Kit, perhaps a 7636421 model (a 1976 model number but the example I'm showing below appears to be of 1978, "K," manufacture). If it survives, could you kindly post a photo here of this unit's identification sticker (right side probably)?

 

The two other units do, indeed, appear to be "of the period." Do either of them have meaningful identification stickers or other evidence of date?

 

Regards,

 

Steve

KB,

 

Thanks. Yep. It appears identical to my '76 model manufactured in '78 (also with a "K" prefix to its serial number). I know I've seen this model in early e21's, but it's certainly period-appropriate for a very late '02 as well. It's small and fits with an A/C unit such as the Behr.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

Here are two photos from eBay of a 1976 Frankfurt US Stereo.

 

Thanks, Chris,

 

I've now seen this model, a '76 model unit (763"6"421), with J, K, and L prefixes for the serial number (I have a K-prefix unit, pictured previously). That would seem to say that this '76 model was manufactured until at least 1979: J = 1977, K = 1978, and L = 1979. My example has a BMW sticker. This example has a Saab sticker, but I don't note any other differences, so it could be solely the installation kits that differ.

 

The 1979 dating of this eBay example might also confirm the 1979 Vasek Polak installation sticker on another example (label missing) shown earlier by KB.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

Well it's not a blaupunkt but it came from the land of Germany and their far superior automobile called the 2002.

 

For Becker units, a letter prefix before the serial number also signifies the year of manufacture (I've detailed this previously on another thread).

 

G = 1971

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
