Title: Becker Europa II Stereo SMALLFACE for 230SL
Post by: 66andBlue on April 23, 2025, 03:43:36
The radio’s front was changed to a “small face” to fit the dashboard cover (Radio) plate in a 230SL.
Note: It will no longer fit a 280SL or other models with the standard DIN cutout!
The “Becker Europa II Stereo” plastic logo was exchanged for a “Becker Europa” logo to disguise that it is a more modern stereo radio.
Fully functional!
$450 plus shipping.

Prefix "L", correct for 1975

Alfred,

If I only have the one dash speaker, how would I wire it?  Don't want to just wire the left output and miss hearing the right.  Can't connect both to one speaker, can you?

There are stereo-mono adapters sold by companies like KEF, I'd take a look there: https://us.kef.com/products/citr-sm-stereo-to-mono-adaptor

Now might be a good time to think about upgrading to stereo Rodd!

Yes but it requires cutting holes in the kick panels and sheet metal! And sourcing the correct speakers for a factory looking installation.

Cees,
I agree with Dave.  Best sound is probably streaming on the phone and using a nice Bluetooth speaker in the parcel shelf.
