Rockingchairmotors Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Looks to be from a Mercedes from the late 1950's. If you google images of Mercedes models 180, 190, 219, 220 I think you might find something close. Sorry to say I don't think a AM radio has much value but I am by no means and expert. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enoz05 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hi, it's a 1958/59 Blaupunkt Frankfurt serie G radio, with the powerpack. Knobs are correct for Mercedes Regards Enoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck It's not just a AM radio. It has two "M" push buttons = AM, Two "U" push buttons= FM, and one "L" push button = Long Wave. The "G" Series was produced 1958/1959 The one above is a G7 8550 Blaupunkt Radio Wave "Bands" AM/FM/LW/M/SW. The following is an explanation of the various wave "bands" found on Blaupunkt radios, both US versions and European versions. 1. US Band "AM" = Euro Band "AM", "M", or "Mittel" Frequency 520-1640 Khz, used for Commercial. 2. US Band "FM" = Euro Band "U", or "UKW" Frequency 87-104 MHz (87-108 US), used for Commercial. 3. US Band "LW" = Euro Band "L", "LW", or "Langwelle" Frequency 150-340 Khz, Commercial/Aviation/Weather. 4. US Band "MB" = Euro Band "MB", Frequency 2-2.8 Mgz, used for Marine. 5. US Band "SW" = Euro Band "K", or "Kurz" Frequency Various, used for Short Wave. As can be seem from the above, Blaupunkt radios came with one or more different frequency bands. The basic one-band radio came with the AM band. The next step was usually AM/FM. A common third band was LW (long wave) or SW (shortwave). In Europe, the LW band is for commercial broadcasts, however in the US, the LW band is used for aviation and weather broadcasts. European version radios are marked with the Euro band designators (M, U, L, MB or K), found on the push buttons.
