Becker Radio
« on: May 03, 2012, 17:08:07 »
I recently purchased a pile of NOS parts.  This radio was in the box.  Will this fit in a Pagoda?  It has a smaller face plate than the one in my 108.  I may sell it or just keep it as a spare...

Nice find!  The answer as to whether it will fit is...it depends.  Older Pagodas have a smaller opening than newer ones.  You can see that here http://www.sl113.org/wiki/Electrical/Radio
A quick measurement of the height of you radio and the height of the opening will give you the answer.

Best,

After closer inspection the radio is a repaired one, not new.  The face plate I am told by another member is for a 111 coupe.  I have a tentative agreement to sell it.  Thanks for the info web sites.
