Old Becker radios
« on: February 04, 2004, 09:20:58 »
Found another UK source for revamped radios

http://www.vintagewireless.co.uk/

Seem very very helpful and knowledgable and can do things like link your Becker to a changer in the boot etc


I've also had an email "offer" (requested via the site - fill the form...) from

http://www.koenigs-klassik.de/indexe.html

€280 for a restored Grand Prix with auto search.

Also offering all the links to CD changer and a cable to attach your iPod.


Just an update.... bought mine from Koenigs. The radio looks brand new, great service, very nicely packed and I forked out for the changer/remote/iPod cable. Rainer Koenigs was very helpful on email and the English is not a major issue.

Radios are a popular thread topic.  Maybe we can use this discussion thread to consolidate information on places that supply or service radios and antennas.

Here's another resource, Becker North America:

There's another good source for Becker, Blaupunkt, Hirschamnn, etc, in Burbank CA. The Walter Odemer Co. 818 846-2819. He's been there since the "tube" days and specializes in vintage equipment. He's an authorized center for the above mentioned products.

Hello,
Ed Ebel with Becker of North America  EEbel@harmanbecker.com is a great source of Becker radio repair and restoration. In addition to being a great source of information, Ed also supplies a great variety of parts, radios, antennas, speakers etc. He can provide literature and wiring diagrams also. I just recieved a new Becker vintage radio pamphlet from him.
