Becker Europa stereo amplifier only wanted
« on: October 01, 2019, 00:23:55 »
Hello all,
I tracked down the Europa Stereo radio appropriate to my car ('71 280SL), but now I need the amplifier. Any extras laying around?  ;)
Thanks,
Gary

Are you sure yours needs a separate amplifier?  Later units had the amplifier built into the tuner as one component.

I do have one of those. Since I am going to the Pagodafest I can bring it with me. I do not know if you are attending too, but LA is on the way.

Yes, Joe - I have a Europa Stereo with a fat gray cable with an 8-pin DIN connector on the end coming out the back (no speaker connections). I confirmed with Becker in NJ that I need an amp. After posting this to the group, I found one on eBay. Thanks!
