Title: Becker Europa: is it the original for my 230 sl ?
Post by: FredToms on May 01, 2019, 11:44:53

Hi all,
This picture show the Becker Europa radio on my dashboard. Do you think this is the original ? If not, do you know if it ever matched  another model of pagoda ?
Also, do you think I could find a neeedlestripe face plate to match this radio ?
My white 230 sl has been producted in Germany  early 1965,  exported later in Oklahoma, and return in Europe later.
Many thanks

Fred, no it is not original to your car.  Lots of info can be found here https://www.sl113.org/wiki/Electrical/Radio  It looks like your heater lever knobs are also for a 280SL.

Here is a picture of mine (66 230SL)
