Description:

Folks,

 

The light on my vintage Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio went dark and I couldn't see $HIT. So I searched high and low and finally found the bulbs from Germany and bought 5. I have 4 spares to help other members who have Blaupunkt Frankfurts in their cars and anticipate the bulb needing replacement at some point. Mine appeared original and very dirty. The new bulb is great and identical to the original. To get to the bulb, you'll need to undo the four 5.5mm bolts on the front face, move the needle all the way to the corner, remove the front faceplate and replace the bulb. To replace the bulb, push the bulb in and tilt it upwards as you release it.  Took me about 15min and a pint of cold beer. Now the bulb might fit other vintage Blaupunkt radios, I wouldn't know because I don't own other vintage radios so don't bother asking me :)

 

Happy Motoring,

 

Eamon

    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
