[BMWCSRegistry] Period Radio for CSi

[MikeUra at aol.com]

Tom,
 
Lots on eBay.  Also check German eBay.  You can also buy  reconditioned 
radios from this guy _http://www.koenigs-klassik.de/indexe.html_ 
(http://www.koenigs-klassik.de/indexe.html) .   Not cheap though.
 
Regarding power, hi-power back then was 5 watts per channel with a fair  
amount of distortion at volume.  You may find a small booster amp under the  front 
seat an easy alternative.  That's what I have and a couple of strips  of 
velcro hold it in place.
 
Good luck,
Mike

Hi

My 1974 CSi was broken into (damaged window frame, vent  window, chrome
molding) to steal my stereo (damaged excellent center  console, stole radio
tray....)

I am seroiusly thinking of getting a  good period correct stereo with no
cassette, since these days you can  easily play your Mp3 files through these
radios. I am not a super picky,  high-end stereo guy, but I would like to
have a radio that has some decent  power (preferably without a booster or
amp) to feed into my 6x9  speakers?

Does anyone know of any good radios from the early 70s that  were originally
supplied for CSis? I wouldn't mind one that was common here  in the US, where
I could retrofit Euro buttons to match the rest of the  car.

Maybe a Becker Grand Prix?

Thanks for your help,
Tom  Colitt
